What about "Dream Theater"?

 

i thought they didn't really get popular until later when pull me under video came out?

 

Dream theater is really good also.. Love Mike Portnoy..

 

Popular with me from the start. Their drummer was inspiring to me. (also an avid drummer)

But really... Boston is probably the best ever

 

there were alot of good bands from 84-94 then grunge hit

 

I use to play drums religiously, then I caught the guitar bug... I played for 5 years. Own a 1970's ludwig vistalite 12piece kit with all zildjian cymbals and dw 5000 doubles.

 

Just to play devils advocate here I joined the site in highschool and I dont feel i was very ignorant lol I've had a few posts that were close but we all have, age is a small factor in maturity, and maturity doesn't exactly correlate with knowledge I was fairly deep into sbc's because I had to, my first vehicle was a carb'd 82 silverado and I had to fix it. Then it just became a hobby for me, and then an addiction once I got the camaro lol very slippery slope.... In any case I'm not defending jayhawk by any means the posts I've read are just to pick fights which is why this site has gone downhill from when i joined because everyone is a " 6'6" 900lb mma fighter" behind the keyboard lol

 

16 (including 2 splashes) piece yamaha custom maple set. All sabian cymbals. I too play a guitar. I started on piano (9 years of lessons) But drumming is where my heart is. Hence my profile name of musicfreako...

 

That's a nice kit

 

Thanks. I appreciate it


Notice the 1:18 scale red gta
How I wish I could find a red camaro

 

I am liking the Ibanez back to the left...

 

That's an old Kramer. (van Halen era stuff)

 

Your kidding! I thought that it woulda had the banana headstock?

 

I should specify. Both the Blue and orange are Kramer guitars. Blue one is a basic fender knock off. The orange ones head stock rolls down, not up.

 

I love the kramers.

 

With out a doubt, maple kits sound the best. I have a Premier Signia kit (10, 12 & 13 rack, 16 & 18 floor with a 22 x 18 bass) that I bought back in 93. I (generally as I have several) use a Ludwig Black Beauty for my primary snare and I have 2 cymbal safe's worth of cymbals (depends on what I'm playing) but I usually use a mix of A & K Zildian (crashes), Sabian (ride and splashes) and (usually) the sweetest sounding set of 14" UFIP hi-hat cymbals I've ever heard.

I've acquired all this over the last 45 years (I'm 58 now) and played pretty steadily up till 2004. Lately it's been just a hobby but one I have enjoyed my whole life.

 

I play with a set of thin sabian AA sizzle hats. I absolutely love the sound of them. All my cymbals minus ride and one crash are thins. I love the glassy wash sound. Sometimes I wonder what's worth more, the car or drums...

 

I know my drums are worth more then both my cars combined! LOL I've aquired all this by the age of 17.. Hard work and being frugal pay's off kids!

 

so the drum kits are import? lol

 

When is the Moderator going to lock this thread down.. Everyone has got way off the Topic

 

My drum kit is actually domestic

you know what, lets sum this thread up, ahem



THE END

 

This thread should've been locked down 5 years ago...

 

 

^Come on now. Some threads were made to stay alive forever...

 

Lol the key word is some..

 

Speaking of , I need to take my pass. door lock to a smith to get a key made so I can open my rear hatch.

 

Come on guys this thread is so last year.


Honestly why should they lock it down? this thread has become like the lounge in some chats. This way we are able to take our crap out in just one place rather then have it spill out all over the board.

 

Ok, let's make it like the Lounge in a certain "LS1" site...

Your Honduh is slow....

 

Sure was. So is your thirdgen.

 

If your car is a Honda, why are you on Thirdgen.org?

 

Probably for a reason similar I am, technical info, that is not just for the Thirdgen.

 

Makes some sense, but... not as much as if you had a third gen.

 

To make people like you ask questions.

Btw I don't own a honda anymore. Granted still don't own a thirdgen and for that matter I actually don't own any car anymore. But that's the way life goes. six shooter has it about summed up though. I came here for tech info and to help a friend out who owned a thirdgen and this site didn't have a qualification for being a member saying I myself had to own a thirdgen so figured it was worth while to join :-)

 

Truth be told I'll bet your Honda was quicker off the line than my 89 RS was.

I sold the 89 when it got up to 225,xxx miles on the odometer, still with the original stone stock drive train. Used that $$$ to buy a 98 Z28 that I used as a DD for years. I had another car to keep the miles off of the 02 which I was using the 02 as a mildly modded (external mods only) race car. Sold the 98 with 184,xxx on it when I moved back to Cali (I was living in AZ at the time). Put the 02 back to stock. It now has 55,xxx on it.

Like you said, you don't need a 3rd gen to be on the site. I may buy another if I can find a stockish one for the right price.

 

I've Had the same problem since I moved to this town. Civics, Integras, Cavaliers, Sunfires, Etc. :-/ They pull up, sideways hat, pants halfway down their ***, rust pail for a car. But its always makes me laugh because they slump, fart can exhaust humming away. :-/ And the cars I actually want to go against, dont ever want to race. Flawed logic. :-/

 

Doubt my honda was faster off the line. Even when I had all 3bbls of that carb opened up and dump the clutch it wouldn't go that fast.
biggest problems was the carb needed to be rebuilt or replaced. Bought a ford version of a webber that I was going to rebuild just never got around to it. The other one was the dizzy had issues with the springs being worn out and couldn't find any to replace them with. so with that my timing was all over the place.

Will say though was about the most laid back car I have ever driven. Even if you shifted gears a little too early and the rpms got low it still chugged away and never acted like it was lugging. Much different then my rx7 was. That thing hated low rpms.

 

I used to have a 9 second honda...
















Man I miss that bike..

Does it count as an import if it has a body made by the Swedes and a GM motor?

 

Because it's cheap and a turbo is about the only mod they know of.

 

whats your opinion on scooters???

 

btw, ijs since this thread has gone pretty much everywhere so might as well. its a joke, i really dont care about scooters.

 

well if your not into the whole mods and rockers thing, i don't think many people on here are into scooters

 

One thing they can't touch though... is how the ladies love the old style muscle

 

or the noise from 1:49-2:06 mmmm 327

 

And btw... where I live (Marshalltown, IA) there is a pig processing plant... so every single foreigner comes to live here. Guess what comes with them? Thats right, the honda civic, My little LO3 doesn't seem so slow anymore

 

what race are the foreigners?

 

Hispanics.

 

Screw what the ladies like. I have a 67 Camaro cuz that's what I like...
