>>70606768
Cool. What kind of music?

>>70606824
The band im playing with tonight is surf punk and my main band is stoner rock type stuff

Play blastbeats continuously until you start the set for the lulz, but only on the snare.

>>70606772

>>70606847
>california
>surf punk
Burnt Palms?

>>70606884
No were Sleeping On Drugs

>>70606740
>>70606854
>but only on the snare.
isn't that the only way a blastbeat is played?

>>70606911
Lmao its just a snare roll if its only on the snare

>>70606909
ah
>playing with tonight
I thought this meant the other band on the bill. Otherwise I wouldn't have guessed Burnt Palms because their drummer is a beautiful woman.

>>70606740
Is this person literally retarded?

I just want him to annoyingly hit the snare fast, loud, and steadily with one hand.

>>70607020
No I'm at the office actually

>>70607095
yeah and literally every single one of those is on the snare thanks for proving my point

>>70607155
... and the kick and the cymbal

>>70607155
>>70607331
Yeah I think he missed the key word, "only."

>>70606740
>if only I could be so grossly incandescent
Cool guy, hope you have a good show. The place you are playing at reminds me of my first show in my high school doom metal band in a machine shed with 15 people there. It was the most fun I've ever had in my entire life.

>>70607369
Bad jokes are the least fun kind to explain.

>>70607454
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAH

How good of a musician do I have to be to get a gig? I've played drums for 3 years, I can do rock and what not but I don't know any songs.

>>70607331
its called a hi-hat

see you have literally no idea what you're talking about

>>70607369
no, the post implied toms

>>70608522
hi-hats are cymbals

>>70608541
and what did i say

its CALLED a hi-hat

>>70608552
Cymbal gets the idea across fine, faggot.
However, he shot himself in the foot saying hi-hats are cymbals when it's actually a mechanism + two cymbals. Two china cymbals on the pedal mechanism is still a hi-hat.

>>70608621
>Cymbal gets the idea across fine, faggot.
no it fucking doesnt moron. Absolutely no one calls a hi-hat cymbals and I would have had literally no idea he was talking about a hi-hat except I had just watched the video.

>>70608662
Let's talk about context.
>you watched the video
>saw what was happening
>specification unneeded, you understand which cymbal was being played

Example b.
>I'm talking to you
>I know you're a faggot based on the thread
>so I call you a faggot
Faggot.

>>70608662
>Absolutely no one calls a hi-hat cymbals

absolute retard. if you're buying a new hi-hat and don't need a stand/pedal what would you search for? CYMBALS

>>70608482
Anyone can get a gig with the right connections, depends who the promoter is.

After 3 years you should be alright, but you could always wait for a little bit, too increase your value as a technician.

>>70608786
t. false equivalency

the contention is that when someone is playing a hi-hat to say they are playing the cymbal. Literally no one says that. Yes people can refer specifically to the hi-hat cymbals but thats beside the point of the hi-hat not being called cymbals let alone "the cymbal"

>>70608745

I know a relatively high up producer, family friend. I think I'd rather start with low end gigs though, to get a feel for it. I'm not expecting to make a whole lot of money, I want to do it for fun, but what should I expect from a gig money and time wise?

How long have you been playing shows? What's the biggest audience you've played for?

>muh last word

>>70608882
You'll earn absolute shit even if you get signed to a label. Probably net loss with gear and travel costs.

Unless you're extremely lucky making music and gigging is for fun.

>>70606768
El Cajon?

>>70608941
I figured as much, the same producer said he did not recommend a career in music. Who knows maybe I'll make a killing with t shirts.

good luck
