Found this on a forum...

The Stereotypcial Drummer:

Begginers - Make various threads, such as this one, or "how can I use rudiments in my playing?" (My personal favorite) or "Which pedal will help me play faster?"

Intermediate - Actually asks good questions of which the answers will be useful and the question has a legitiment reason for being asked. This is also where most of the 'normal' discussion threads come from. Sometimes posts sound clips.

Intermediate-Advanced - Tends to answer many of the legit questions, though is occasionally wrong in their replies. These people get most of the jokes and have started to or do realize that Travis and Joey really do suck and will attempt to show that at times. Most often post sound clips.

Advanced - Occasionally make threads, answer only a few questions or to correct bad answers in others. These players listen to Vinnie, Weckl, Lang, etc They don't even bother to jump into the Joey/Travis disscussions because like most things in life, once you know the truth, it's pointless to argue against fools. Have posted a number of sound clips.

The Demi Gods - Rare is a thread made by these few. Though often asked by name in threads for advice. They stalk about the forums like praying mantis. There is no question of their playing abillity. They posses hideous amounts of drumming knowledge and occassionally will expell some via a large green screen, smoke and flashes of light. Though I prefer the 'Bright Blue' myself.

All tongue-in-cheek, of course!

Arrangers?

STOP PICKING ON US!!!!!

Tony, US includes ME, the proud owner of two fine arranger keyboards. I've spent the entire afternoon trying to get the PA1x to send drums properly to my new DM10 module. So far no luck. Wanted to send an exact same pattern to Diki for (his take on) a comparison. I may have to make a custom kit exactly mapped to a specific kit n the Korg. My own take is that as much as I like the Korg drums, the DM10 drums are WAYYYYY more realistic. For some reason they sound better through the K4 (on the tube channel) than through the headphones. It's hard to distinuish them from the real thing, especially if the real thing is miked.

Anyhow, just kidding about the arrangers. I know how many veins it pops on this board .

Wow! Folks tell me I can still sing. So, I wonder how I would make out if I purchased my 12-string back from Dan01, got a face lift, a gut (tummy) tuck and a truckload of little blue pills? Hmmmm! If I pick up that 41-foot Morgan Out Island, then I could be playing guitar again and singing in the Florida Keys at the marina Tiki Bars and surrounded by a bevy of bikini clad beauties. Anyone know of a good divorce lawyer?

Cheers,

Gary

No, but I know of a couple of good funeral directors (I don't think divorce is what your wife has in mind ).

Not much chance of a divorce AND keeping that Morgan...

I do know a good lawyer, but I just gave his name and number to your wife.

You can tell the REALLY good ones, they are doing well enough to run ads on tv night and day.
