  2. Please pass on..?
  3. As a drummer, the notion of Rhythm is fundamental; melody and chords are there, but it's not the principal role of the percussion section, usually. Simple notions, such as changing to half-time, or the opposite, doubling the beat, can be very effective, or exchanging snare and bass drum, the 'one' on the snare, bass drum on the back-beat. Much more influence on style can be had by using 'claves' (rhythms...) from other idioms than pop rock. 'White Rabbit', for instance, starts off with a 'tango' feel, Police borrowed extensively from reggae and ska sources. Old-school jive beats are good for getting folk up and dancing, as are alternative rhythms such as 6/8 or 2/4. In fact, a great deal of music aimed at Dance has brought about a very wide range, from afro-beats to calypso, samba to polka, jazzy waltz to bossa nova and so many more. This makes it, for me, all the more sad when I come across straight disco beat lead-foot bass drum EDM. There are exceptions, but there is so much more than that. Cross-culture is a boon, so taking elements from elsewhere and adapting them to the occasion brings oodles of interest to an alert rhythm section (including, naturally, the bass...), and can bring a sparkle to an evening and a spring to the dancers' steps. Well worth exploring, I say. Just my tuppence-worth.
  4. You're right to have given up on playing the vacuum cleaner. It sucks. ... I'm here all week.
  5. Do you not remember that crazy evening when you all chucked your keys into a bowl..? Maybe you got the wrong keys when you came to..? ...
  6. Have you considered the possibility that it is not, in fact, your van, but that of a neighbour (same colour, by coincidence...)..? He/she is having the same issues trying to open your van..! ...
  7. Stretch..? S'only fifty-odd miles..!
  8. Just as Farage, Trump, Putin and others 'speak to the souls of a million strangers'..? There is an objective 'some stuff is light-weight, 'throw-away', dross, whether popular or not.', I say. Who gets to judge..? Any and all of us; I have firm ideas on what I deem to be 'rubbish' (despite its popularity, not because of it...).
  9. Decimalise, with fourteen notes..? (...and there's already an 'H' ...) ...
  10. Two members have voted, six votes have been cast. Who voted for four, then..? ... No, all is well in the kingdom of BC; no kittens have been harmed.
  11. But... but... but... That's Good isn't it..? Or, to quote from The Boss... "I reckon vote for your favourite 3 if you can whittle it down " Peace.
  12. Hmm... Bad weed, no..?
  13. I'm not sure that these modules are what you're looking for. They are PSU (Power Supply Units...) specifically for powering Cisco routers in IT systems, and have no audio function whatever. They cannot, ever, be connected to speaker cabs, whatever the ohmage. Is it rather a 550W audio amp module or power amp that you're after..?
  14. How so..? Do these agents deal solely in entertainment tickets..? What about transport ('plane, train, bus...)..? Museums, stately homes or monuments..? Holiday camps, camp sites..? Plenty of stuff to be sold apart from rock concerts, Shirley..?
  15. Excellent; well done. Have a look at using compression on the vocals; that'll tame the jumps in level when the hollerin' starts up. Nothing bad in there, though, it's a Good Mix.
  16. Be careful what you wish for. ...
  17. That lazy, eh..? That really is lazy. Here, if you can be bothered, is a link to a previous comment. Enjoy ...
  18. After doing the tests with electric shocks down the arms, my doctor recommended cortisone injections as a first step, before going the 'whole hog' with operations. I also changed my mouse for a trackball (I was IT Manager...). All of this a couple of decades ago now; I still use a trackball, and have had no further carpal tunnel issues. If caught in time, and for less severe injury, injections can do the job. Hope this helps.
  19. Don't you need it for your inflated ego and bloated megalomania..? ...
  20. If you've paid for a year's subscription, you can place the ad in several topics with no problem. If you paid only for a 'one-off' ad, it can only go in one topic at a time. One of the many benefits of having an 'open' subscription. You could, I suppose, raise a 'Report', to ask the Mod team for indulgence, if there's no subscription. Might be worth a shot..? Hope this helps.
  21. Oooh, the sound of my old age!!! Oh, joists..! I thought it was joints. You really must speak up, my girl... ...
