Decided I like air drumming successfully as opposed to failing at actually playing. I tried a bit, but my mind isn't wired to do it. Requires a brain that can train both feet and both hands to do different things at the same time.... counting.... pauses with one or two but not the others.

I'll do two more sections tomorow. Gonna spend some time with Patrick now. He'll probably kick my ass in wrastlin' (5-9, 210 and stronger than he knows) before he morphs into tickle me mode. Ya know what? Autism can be a blessing a lot more than a curse if you make it that way.

This is some funny stuff, Mac. I think it's great that you take the time to do this. I wish some other hosts would also. I think Bernsie would enjoy mixing it up here. He likes to argue. He likes to make an argument.

funny story. chet and dahl get along fine now.

Bernsie did an Ask Dan thread a while back...i think thanks to Doug? He is a bit more...careful.. on what he talked about though in fear of, what he said, violating his contract.

The best was when Dahl and Meier were making fun of Ditka's heart attack at the end of their show and Chet came right out of the box with Steve Kazor who didn't appreciate it much.

See STU-GOTZ for your ALS membership card.

Rick popped in at about 7:10 and the show went back on the air so Chet could call Steve and Garry "Tubby and his girlfriend who wears make up to do a radio show."

He's got you nailed, JizzFountain.

JizzyFountain. . .

Nuff said.

The Jizz Fountain-Panther Pussy rivalry is really heating up

I can't help that I am what I eat.

I call bullshit on this, Mac. Start slow and simple then build with your fills. Hit 1 on the bass drum and 3 on the snare with your basic 4/4 and go from there. I believe that much of the timing that's involved in being an on-air talent and your producer/board skills would come in handy when playing drums. If I can do it, anybody can fucking do it. Now guitar on the other hand takes someone with some true talent as well as the dedication to practice and whatnot.

You're not Neil Peart so dont try to be.

Is it okay if he tries to be John Rutsey?

Dont quit Dan. May I suggest something? Play Highway to Hell. Its simple with not many fills but one of the best songs to learn a basic drum beat. Play it with headphones on. When you barely hearyourself playing, it kind of blends. And loosen up. Body and hands. Move your head around to the beat and lighten your grip on the stix. When you're tight, you cant bounce around the kit. I taught my son and daughter starting with that song. I learned to play that whole album when I was ten with my first set from the Sears catolog. And dont feel so much pressure to use your left foot. That will come in time. In the meantime, Hold that fucker to the floor on your hi hat and mash it. You're not Neil Peart so dont try to be.


If this guy can play it you can. See how uptight he is.

this may be a really dumb question, so I'm apologizing in advance....

But, I'm noticing that while others guys at the gym can lift a lot more than me (like double), I look a hell of lot more "defined" than them, especially in the arms....is this because I also do treadmill, thus burning more fat? These guys only hit the weights, I never see them hit the treadmill.

I also try to eat somewhat decent too, avoiding anything heavy during the week, focusing on fruits and veggies and water and eggs for protein during the week.
