DrumUltimA

if i am coming, i am a good drummer that can hold his own. Better percussionist tho.

i'm pretty good at smash bros, but I am a total faggot so I guess i'm out :[

I used cakewalk sonar 3, free soundfonts i found online. Most of the strings and winds are squidfont orchestral.

had an awesome workout the other day, realized my triceps needed a lot more attention than they were getting. I'm finding with pec/tricep stuff, as well as leg lifting, i've been way too easy on myself. so i'll step that up a notch. I have a NEW GOAL: fit into this "I feel pretty" shirt that Jonathan "salty" Hall got me a few years back without looking like a total fatty: ex girlfriend BAWWWWWWWWW

more importantly, who wants to room with me??

round 1: FIGHT!

question #1: is there anyone coming down from new england or eastern new york that would be willing to spot me a ride? I would contribute to gas expenses #2: if you do give me a ride down, can you give me a ride back up? #3: who will sleep with me? Like, share a hotel room with me.

possibly. Don't know about dates yet, but my grandmother has a place down there and i may be able to crash where she is.

i am really going to try hard to make it to this.

hey guys, beginning of the year auditions are coming up at my school and i need a really good drumroll. Can you guys listen and tell me what you think? http://drumultima.googlepages.com/drumroll.mp3

i'm better than pixietricks AT BEING A DUDE

I Want To Sing

whew, had a nice workout today. Did another 5k on the treadmill, except that I accidentally hit stop in the middle of it so I couldn't get an accurate time reading. I think it was probably somewhere between 26-28 minutes. After that, I did some situps, and tons of back and shoulder stuff. Totally wiped after this one. I'm up to 110 lbs on rowing!

HAPPY BiRTHDAY PRETZ DAWG!!!!!!

Well, I guess it's kinda late to be entering this... but I've been working out a TON this summer. Maybe I'll jump in anyway. Goals: Weigh approx. 175 lbs. Run a mile in 7:45 or less Get strong all around (no specific goals here) Beat my marathon running mom in a 5k <-done KEEP THIS UP THROUGH THE SCHOOL YEAR (guess I can't do this by august 2 lol) I put 5k one in there because that was a surprise accomplishment for me--last sunday I ran a 5k with my mom and sister, and passed my mom out in the last half mile! I've never beaten my mom in a road race before. My finishing time was about 26:20 Anyway since I came home in May I've been going to the gym about 6 times a week (3 days, skip a day) and swimming every other day. I started the beginning of the summer at 188 lbs, running an average rate of a 9-10 minute mile, and lifting relatively low weights (biceps maxing out around 15 lbs each hand, back exersizes maxing out around 60 lbs, pecs maxing out around 40, and tricips being barely able to do anything [maybe that's how i got tendonitis?]). Right now: weight: 179 ish running: 8 minute mile (1 mile), 8:30 mile average for 5k biceps: 25 lbs each back: 100 lbs chest: 60 lbs (being held back by my triceps and shoulders) triceps: around 15-30 lbs, depending on the exercise shoulders: 50 lbs hamstrings and quads: 60 lbs Hip abduction/adduction: 115 lbs I'm pretty happy with how things are going. Never have had muscle before, and I've never felt like NOT a marshmallow! Hopefully I can keep it up next year!

Time for drumultima's first ever FEEDBACK FEEDBACK CHECKLIST!!!!!!!!!!! OCR-SPECIFIC QUALIFICATIONS [x] Does not critique in regard to the WIP Review Checklist [x] Does not critique in regard to the OCR Submission Standards GENERAL HELPFULNESS [x] Does not distinguish between objective and subjective criticism [x] Not enough clarification of criticism using specific examples [x] Review does not represent entire work in progress EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS [x] Does not attempt to offer ideas/suggestions for improvement [x] Does not attempt to clarify artist's strong and weak points OTHER [x] Horrible Grammar. Helpfulness: .5/10 Essentially all that the Vagrance is getting out of this review is that somebody doesn't like the remix for some reason, and that they think the effect he used in the beginning of the track may be an accident, and if not he doesn't like it, once again, for some reason. This doesn't actually tell the Vagrance anything that could not only help him get a submission on OCR, but also help him as a remixer in general. All this says is that somebody out in the world doesn't like his remix. Please keep this shit off of the wip boards. If you're going to review a mix, please post feedback that will HELP the remixer improve. There's nothing wrong with not liking a remix, but please be prepared to indicate exactly WHY you don't like it, whether you feel your complaints with the remix are subjective (not your style) or objective (there's been a production/compositional error that needs to be fixed), and what the artist can do to improve. Otherwise it's a waste of time and space.

me me me me me me

i may get involved... if you're working on a track and want to collab, let me know. I'm sure marimba could lend itself well to dkc

Joshua Morse, you've TRULY got a pocket a mile wide. Fantastic stuff--bumpin would be the correct verb to describe the motions I am making right now. I really like the solo work too--but this is a track where, surprisingly enough, I'm strongly taken not by the solos, but by the backtrack. There are some great lessons to be learned about groove in this track--and the chord progressions you choose to make (as well as the way you voice them) are really slick (in general--it was your chord progressions that turned me on to your ragnarok mix). Seriously man, fantastic work!!

just for the record I will definitely be there--i've prereg'd. JAMSPACE WILL BE AWESOME JUST FOR THE RECORD AS WELL

AeroZ made a remix recently that uses cello fairly prominantly. Unfortunately, it wasn't accepted to OCR due to the limited source usage, but I think you'll like it a lot. It's called Amazon's Afterwork, you can find it on his myspace: http://www.myspace.com/freijman For those of you who like viola, mother and I may be doing another collab sometime soon where viola will be pretty prominent. I'll keep you posted!

well it does fold... i don't know if I would leave it out the whole time, of course. It is FAIRLY portable. If i have a car, I'll bring it.

Great mix! Love your groove, that beat's got a pocket a mile wide Only complaint was the ending--I actually thought that my audio was buffering or something, until it began to take too long and i realized it was over lol. I can see the reasons for doing that, but perhaps a little more clarity in the cutoff would prevent future confusion. Aside from that, fantastic! I will definitely fap to this.

jewbei, this sounds great!!!

FUCK YEAH JAMSPACE!!!!!! can't bring my vibraphone tho? :[
