crispy Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Well I went to Long Beach during the last week of Spring Break to record with my brother and our band Phoenix at Sundown, before you ask we play death metal anyway, nothing really went right, and it was enormously frustrating, but I did enjoy the visit I arrived on March 26th, and we went to "The Dungeon" to set up the drums, and practice a bit We finished up and came back the next day, and were able to lay down a total of six drum tracks in about 10 hours, seriously not to bad, we came back the next day, and the computer crashed, thank goodness we didn't lose everything, but it did cost us a day The rest of the time was us trying to catch up, it was not fun and alot of work, I was hoping to go to Knotts, but uh, that didn't happen, or there would be a totally awesome photo TR on the Rollercoaster section of this board, and there isn't Oh well, it was awesome to see my brother, and even though nothing worked as planned, I did enjoy my visit on to the pics If you want to hear what we salvaged from our week, go here http://www.myspace.com/phoenixatsundown Yippee, my last day was spent at my brother aprtment mixing down, yes we need Studio Monitors Singing, er uh, or screaming, or whatever you want ot call it Bass Tracks Acoustic, although here he is actually writing a song, ON THE SPOT!!, wow Guitar Tracks YIPPEE the computers working, laying down some drum tracks, where the hell are my headphones Me hitting T.J. in the Nuts with a sledge hammer for not fixing the computer fast enough me "escaping" For some reaon there was these chains on the wall, so we continued being dorks T.J. posing like a dork WTF!!!!, THE COMPUTER CRASHED!!!!!

Yes folks, this is what you see when you are hooking up mics, not pretty
niiicolaaah Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Awesome! Thanks for sharing your pics, I love stuff like this. It brings back so many memories. When I was little, my dad was in a band, and I would go to their practices every once and a while. I've also had a few bands that have made demos... now I just do everything myself and it's so much easier, nobody else has to deal with my perfectionism. PREMIER DRUMS! Heck yes! Same brand played by my favorite drummer (Ginger Fish of Marilyn Manson)
FlyingScooter Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 great pics! Nothin' says loving quite like a sledgehammer to the nuts! tough love rocks, but rough love's better.
Imhotep Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Wow crispy, I didnt know you played drums! Nice premier kit you got there. How long have you had it for? Did you wrap it or did it come like that? Too many questions. Ive always loved Premier , especially their marching drums. I have to wait to get home so I can listen to your songs (work firewall has MySpace blocked). Im looking forward to hearing songs from a fellow Metal drummer!
CoasterFanatic Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 I have that same laptop. I use it for hosting karaoke. Not death metal karaoke. Just plain karaoke.
Imhotep Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Alright, I checked out your songs. Nice work man! Branded As Traitors is probably my favorite of the ones on your myspace page. I sent you some add friend requests! Good luck on your endorsement pursuits. Its not easy. If you guys ever decide to come to Florida let me know, we will book something with you. -Imhotep
crispy Posted April 6, 2006 Author Posted April 6, 2006 WOW, cool thanks for the Replies Yeah, I have been playing drums for about 15 years, although the last 8 or so have been very part time As for the premier Kit, they actually came like that, we were able to pick them up for about $350, and they sound fantastic, but are a bit diffrent looking, We have another set almost the same, but this one is orange, and normal size toms My brother is going to move to New Mexico, and we then plan on pursuing the band a little more.
chavslayer Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Cool music! I listened to all the songs on myspace and they are great. Nice drums too.
