It's on the way; due Tuesday:
New Kit

My color is Candy Apple Mist (clickable if it doesn't automatically appear)

I've been thinking about playing again for at least a year, so this deal helped pull me in. After more than 10 years of not playing, this will be my fifth kit. My first was also a Tama Imperial Star from 1985 which I bought in Wuerzburg, Germany while stationed there in the US Army.

They say you can't go back home so this will take a different kind of devotion from when I was a young wanna-be rocker infected with the god of drumming. smile I'll have to do the majority of my practicing on a practice pad for my sticks and one for my bass pedal because I live in an apartment. Then I'll start looking for some other old-school musicians like myself who want to revisit their youth.


The issue is not p*ssy. The issue is monkey.

Well it sure ain't the bass player. Or the keyboard player. Or the rhythm guitar player. It's the drummer, the lead guitar player, the singer, and the band's dealer. biggrin

Coolest.

Our neighbor is a helluva drummer, and was surprised to get praise rather than gripes from us.

He only plays at reasonable hours, though, and is skilled.

I think I'll pack up the accordion and take it out to the hangar - I won't subject people to that, as I suck.

MAN! That's a pretty good price too! I might have to rethink getting drums again.

I had a crappy old First Act 5 piece. It was fun to bang around on in my garage. Then I bought a couple (5) guitars over the past couple of years and when I went to Slovakia for a month last July my wife decided to clean out the garage...and just threw my drums away! She thought that I'd moved on to just guitar learning...lol. AArggggggh!

Someone's going to have to explain to me the difference between the 2 guitar pics in your post WileECoyote.

My guess is that the first one is Lead guitar and the second is Bass?

Guitar has 6 strings. Bass has 4 strings. Usually.

I didn't look at the pics of the guitars that closely. I was thinking along the lines of the order of the pictures. So at this point I need it explained to me also.

Yes, the bottom pic is a bass guitar. Notice there are only knobs on top instead of 6?

So apparently bass players get no one, drummers get married, while lead guitarists get some more, but not as much as the singer.

The Beatles were an obvious exception since Paul was the popular "pretty boy" with the female fans. smile

There are always the exceptions to the rule.
