im looking for a band that can do most kinds of music, but mainly metal. people with background in music theory. and people that like prog. read my profile it should tell you everything about me you need.

Basically i am looking for a band that can be as versatile as dream theater, but more metal, with lots of different kinds of metal.

again just read my profile and if i fit what your looking for then email me.
peace

Spinny 5 is actually looking for a new drummer if you're interested. We fall in line with the vast majority of all your listed influences.

FIRST

DAMMIT!

I like how blast beats sound "stupid" to most drummers who can't do em. I also appreciate how he says he'd like a band that does "most kinds of music, but mainly metal" then has very few "metal" bands listed in his influences.

blast beats.....stupid?

laughinggirls.jpg

where's the prog influences outside of dt?

right on dude, good luck.

"people that like prog."

srsly, list more prog influences if you're going to make a statement like that.

if i was a band looking for a drummer, i would stay far away from this guy.

1) he likes prog but lists no prog influences.
2) he likes metal but lists no metal influences.
3) he thinks blastbeats are stupid, probably because he can't play them, and any drummer that can't see the versatility inside a blastbeat probably isn't a very good drummer.
4) he makes it very clear that he's only influenced by "first" albums to maintain an illusion of credibility.

Dude needs a dose of Emperial Live Ceremony. Only talking shit about Trym is real.

Dude needs to STFU and go back to playing Duck Duck Goose, Padawan!

He did list Korn, silly.

what are you talking about? that first limp bizkit album redefined prog. go back to playing ring around the rosie and red rover at lilith fair, ya poser!

SM: off the charts

ITT: drummer gets backtraced

he dun goofed

haha

This guy is getting terrible treatment from you guys. You have to step up your game. Like this:

Progmetaldrumr: Fucking kill yourself, you piece of shit. Just die.

I've nothing to contribute, but prog = no blastbeats? :( Tell BtBaM to go back to square, now that you've kneed her in the throat.

I've nothing to contribute, but BtBaM = prog? How the fuck does that work?

Worst n00b should be killed.

Beats Melodic Jazz-Fusion/Technical Deathgrindcore with Country Western/Groove Metal influences.

Progs? How does they work?

Only Geddy Lee's bass-shaped bus is real.

Id like to say you some ambition man and can probably outplay 4/5ths of these fuckheads keep your head up and pound those skins in the name of TRUE METAL!!!!!!!!

Dan

Nice job guy, you come on here looking for a band then bash these people saying some nu metal kid with limited prog exposure who hates blasting can outplay 4/5 of us.
Get the fuck out of here

You dont know this guys got limited prog exposure he probably jerks off to DREAM FUCKING THEATER!!!!!

Ill drink my beer you get the fuck out!!

I fucking love blast like local guys VALASYRKA and I still respect this dude!

fine.. Let us start a spastic ink cover band

who the fuck is spastic ink!!!! do you wear nylon stocking and jerk off to bambi faget!!!

fuck all of you, every band i listed besides liquid tension is a metal band, you all listen to trash metal..... soilwork? not metal? pantera? not metal? fear factory? not metal? get off my fuckin thread you speed freaks.... between the buried and me? not prog? fuck off you panzies......


any real musicians that dont talk shit and no what real musical talents are?

and blast beat drummers can only do blast beats. i know every time signature, can play most styles other then jazz related stuff, fuck blast beats that just for muscle bound retards that cant even play a bossa.

I dont agree buddy and I pretty much completly defended your fuckin ass!!

and yes when i say play every style but mainly metal..... that means can play funk which most metal drummers cant, play "normal" rock, which most metal drummers, and can just play anything other then fast, loud, and know how to let the music breath and not just fill the whole fuckin time.

so for you who think im a panzie, your obviously not a true musican..... you just picked up a guitar or drums, got stoned and played what you hear, instead of rading music and learning the theory.
and i write for orchestra and not just metal, but classical, romantic, baroque..... whatever.

so for those of you who understand where im coming from, help me out here..... and for those of you who dont..... pick up a fuckin book on music some time and put the pipe down.
but i do smoke.

Relax son, they're only fucking with ya...

oh and for other prog, i did list opeth, i am currently taking lessons from rod morgenstien, and mike mangini. who could out blast everyone of your dumb asses.

but yes blast beats are a waste of time to me, i may do it as a fill, but thats about it.

Yea man THEY ALL know you got some skills dude pick up the pipe and smoke it then pound the skins!!!

well stop fuckin with me, and let this site do what its supposed to. help me out instead of make ya'll look like idiots of music.

Fuckin weed drums. How do they work

this statement is an oxymoron

Lol

I've spent a lot of time studying theory, time signatures, multitudes of styles. I've played with orchestras, concert bands, jazz ensembles, drum corps. I do miss it.

With that said, I'll say that you have an appalling personality. I want you dead so I can suck your cock.

^WIN^

hahahaha Win.

wait, so blastbeats are for pansies like mike mangini? son, i am disappoint.

wait, did you really say you know "every time signature"?


You obviously missed the subtle reasons why you're being made fun of here. I'll enlighten you. You're obviously very into what most here would consider "mainstream crap"....... and you speak bad English so you're easy to make fun of. Sucks... but it's true.

FuckIsMyTimeSignature

dude talks like a berklee drum major.

and when he says he took a lesson from those guys...... he means he gave them 100dollars for trying to teach him english.

No, dude talks like a 15 year old that's looking to be a Berklee drum major.

If you write orchestra and list Korn as an influence, then you, sir, are fail. Post your orchestra and/or classical pieces.. Perhaps we can swap.

Post something-anything.

PS: theory does not constitute great music. It certainly helps, but music comes from within.

inb4arrowhead

I can't even believe this guy is real.

ok back to topic here, every message is ignored. i am looking for a band that isn't speed crazy, i dont mind speed sometimes but not all the time. i would like for the music to be melodic and progressive. i am not a drummer who does blast beats, because to me doing 16ths with your feet and 8ths on your hands takes no skill other then endurance. i dont practice blast beats therefore yes i cannot do them, but thats ok..... because most of you probably cant play jazz.... not because you can't but because you dont want to. i want a band that is more old school metal, aka late 90s stuff. the metal i here now i really think sucks. all the bands i listed is literally the only metal bands i listen to because everything else i have heard i do not like. you may like it, but i dont. i go to berklee but not for drumming because i am learning composition. i do however take electives on drumming. just because i know theory doesn't make me better then anyone, just more informed on music. yes dream theater is about the only prog metal band i listen to because what i have heard i do not like. im very picky on what music i do like, most music to me sucks.

other influences i didn't list,
rachmaninoff, debussy, benny goodman, mama's and the papa's, jefferson airplane, the doors, the cyrkle, the drifters, a little bit of led zepplin, depeche mode, the smiths, the cranberries.... and lots of other specific songs from random bands.......
but i didn't list these because they dont really matter when im trying to join a metal band.
for everyone who leaves a stupid ass comment, i will ignore it the moment i realize its not important.
menstrual sweatpants, thanks for the spinny 5 comment, other then that i just ignored every other one.

ITT: You all get Beezle'd

Not to sound like an elitist scumbag, but someone's gotta say it:

1.) Old school metal is not in the late 90s.
2.) Bragging about your elite theory experience in addition to saying you've written orchestras, yet not posting any examples of any music you've ever done is moronic. I'm at least somewhat interested in hearing your orchestral compositions.
3.) It's okay to have an open mind about music, especially if you want to better your compositional skills. You're really making yourself sound very unprofessional and quite frankly, moronic.
4.) If you're ignoring this, why are you reading it?
5.) It's okay if speed and aggression aren't your thing - but don't come to an extreme metal board calling people out. You'll only get verbally assaulted.
6.) Nice influences, but none are still prog.
7.) Limiting your brain to certain types of music will only affect your composition in the long run. (see 3)
8.) It's spelled Led Zeppelin.
9.) It does not make sense that you're claiming to be a prog drummer but only limit yourself to DT.
10.) Think about taking a few electives on the English language.

I sincerely wish you good luck at Berklee; hopefully one day you won't have your head in your ass.

oh ok, well when i say old school im talking about shit thats not todays metal, and i didn't know this was only a speed metal website sorry.

No problem. Just try tone down your berklee 'tude a little and post samples!
I love prog, interested in hearing anything you've got.

see the thing is, i was just putting my information on here and everyone starts talking shit. why? im trying to find a band, and everyone starts telling me im retarded for knowing music theory, i wasn't flaunting it, i was merely stating i have theory knowledge. i dont care about what people call metal today, it all sucks. pantera and burn my eyes from machine head, fear factorys demanufacture, thats what i call metal.... not fuckin avenged sevenfold.
as for material, i was in a band for 6 yrs, everyone was perfectionist but me and the bassist so we hardly played anywhere or recorded. all the recordings i did have were stolen on my last laptop, and nobody in the band gave a shit to keep our stuff.
as for my own personally written shit, i'm not done writing anything becaus berklee is kicking my ass and i dont have time to do anything on my own. and people at berklee are all stuck up and hardly any metal heads there, and the ones there are, are already in bands. and i dont limit myself to things, i listen to shit loads of music, but what i "like" is only a few certain things.
and yes im sry to say the only prog band i like is dream theater, i want to play stuff like that on drums.... therefore im a prog drummer. other prog bands i have heard i do not like.
so please again if you want to tell me about a band thats looking for a drummer like me, then comment.... if not then dont fuckin comment.
its that simple

you guys are pissing me off. and how do i delete this thread. i want to start a new one to get all this bullshit off.

just stop dude

Post a sample. Any sample.

its that simple

Seriously.. you won't find anyone here.

Try craigslist.

Good luck at Berklee and post samples next time

ATTN: ADMIN

DELETE THIS THREAD

Alt+F4 should do the trick.

This thread is good.

i hate when people make me be an asshole

Being an asshole is part of growing older. I can't wait to be an old asshole.

Big brown shitty asshole.

Surly, damp, unkempt butthole of hatred and irritation.

OP:

This kid reminds me of the fish at the end of the Faith no More video.

This thread gets +10 points for watching fish-kid trying to school two of the three best drummers around here (gotta include cesssca) like they're retards. MSD gets an additional +10 points for "I want you dead so I can suck your dick".




Progdrummerguy: I'm pretty much the guy you'd be here looking for. I'm a prog nut, and could use a good number. However, with your attitude here I wouldn't touch you with ouchdrummer's 10 foot pole. Or I would. It depends which you'd consider enjoyable.

As for theory, it's there so YOU can figure out how to play the music I write. Until you start bringing something to the table musically, stop pretending you're something beyond a drummer. Post some clips, some songs, or simply say "hey, I'm looking for a band". Making demands and assumptions right off the bat is exactly HOW you got off on the wrong foot here.

Hey, what's up clan mates. My name is Bobby, and I'm 26. I started playing COD 4 on a roommates ps3, then onto WAW, but we moved out after a year of school.... now i got a ps3 finally. So I'm not old school, but not a newb either. I go to Berklee College of Music in Boston for composition..... aka writing orchestra music, and I play prog. metal drums.... like Dream Theater. Since I'm in school I don't play during the week, only weekends. But hopefully I'll be seeing you guys on the weekends more and playing as a team.
Peace

PS
I use the M16, so if anybody needs a long distance rifleman for anything let me know.... i'll let you know if i can help you out.

You have a weird fetish if you want to get bullshit off. Only snorting Oxycontin with Estelle Getty is real.

Over the mountain
Down in the valley
Lives a former talk-show host
Everybody knows his name
He says there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
Ive seen them all and man
They're all the same
Well, the sun gets weary
And the sun goes down
Ever since the watermelon
And the lights come up
On the black pit town
Somebody says what's a better thing to do
Well, it's not just me
And it's not just you
This is all around the world

Out in the indian ocean somewhere
There's a former army post
Abandoned now just like the war
And there's no doubt about it
It was the myth of fingerprints
That's what that old army post was for

just skimmed thread and saw this nugget of wisdom


I studied a fuck load of theory. It's useful in its own way, but I've found it most useful to purposely ignore almost everything I know about it.

I wish more people had aril's attitude on this.

if you delete your system32 folder this thread will be deleted.

thank you.. but I believe that little nugget was from the oldman Arilicius, circa 520 BCE, Zhou Dynasty

Holy shit. Alex wins for /b/ style potential life-ruining troll research.



You're very welcome.



I wish him luck too. I look forward to the day when he serves me my #2 with extra ketchup.

PS: I'll copypasta his profile before he changes it does away with all the LULZ:

whats so funny about my profile, im not changing it. you people are weird computer nerds, i doubt ya'll are really metal heads.

and yeah i play call of duty, nobody on this site plays call of duty?

you want to find more stuff about me, my name is bobby james, i live in boston on allston st., and stay in worcester on houghton st. im from la porte texas, i belong to the MOBB clan on cod, my myspace is hippie6996, my face book bobby james berklee whatever. just ask. my band requiem was together for 6 yrs then i came up here and haven't found a band yet. the only recordings i will be able to get were recorded free by the local college so they sound like shit, i have some other stuff but it would take me a while to get a hold of. i have no way of recording right now, if you want to hear me play come out to my house
250 allston st brighton, ma
telephone number 8323090829 but my phone is fucked up it might cut off in the middle of conversation.
i dont know why you people think im trying to say im better then someone else, or that because i know theory i know more or can write better, im just saying for info i know theory. everything i get though is from like 3 or more yrs ago.

and really lets have a serious conversation about blast beats..... why does everyone like them, i have never heard a blast beat differ from another one. all it is is stright 16ths on the bass drum and 8ths in both hands, or some mixture of that same thing. its not musical, thats my opinion. what is ya'lls opinion on blast beats.

You are a sucker of cocks and beater of women. Fuck off BlackMetalLady.

this kid is fucking brilliant!

BREE BREE BITCH!

That is like saying every rock beat is in 4/4. Try again dude.

hey dude ignore all the bull on this site, they were doing similar stuff when i was looking for a band..
i am now looking again and it sound like u fit the bill.. i was recently in a band that sounded like a mix of trivium and woe of tyrants and pantera but we could not find a steady lineup.
what is your favorite heavy metal groups

ahhhh-hahahahahahahahaahahaha

LULZ. I wish this kid was dead.

I don't even know where to start.

ProgMetalDrumr: Leave and never come back. There is nothing here for you, no one on your side.

Blasts are just like any other beat when put into context, You've never actually heard any real death metal that uses blast beats so I can see why you wouldn't like them.

It's about time that we had a good ole' thread like this.

It's true, metal drummers only blast because they can't do anything else. $12 says this kid is shitty at drums too.

And his girlfriend looks like Jay Leno.

I'm not a party guy. i do like relationships rather then just casual sex. I'm into hippie things, and like mafia history. I play drums, and piano, and am going to Berklee College of Music for composition/ film scoring. My biggest goal in life is to write at least one piece for a whole symphony, and to be married to a faithful, sweet girl.

I felt bad for this guy at first, now i hate him. Fuck you bobby james.

I think he's missing a chromosome.

Bronson Pinchot? Is that you??

Holy fucking shit, that's eerie.

Fixed:

yup, i was feeling bad before, now i hate him too.

WTF????

I thought this was a thread about pogs. I missed the r in there. At least reading this wasn't a total waste of time.

With that said, I like some prog myself, but I'm not exactly a prog-head. Slipknot? Mudvayne? Did you even bother lurking the site before posting anything?

Don't be ridiculous!

Bckd. that's why i been so like "wtf", cause he was like "i make silly statements", and we were like "must be a troll", than he was like "no, dumbies, i'm really this dildos.", and than we were like "the whole thing".

ill be honest i only googled this kid cuz I thought it was a troll... I was surprised to find he was real. nothin against video games or whatever

yep, i definitely thought he was a troll till too.... until you did that... and then i was like
"?!?!?".

I think I wanna start a band with this kid just so I can call him a douche and quit.

Hahahaha apparently Jenny likes drummers. (joshhatesyou, any thoughts? LOL)

I have a hilarious PM I have from him but Ill be nice and won't share.

Haha, oh, wow. Yeah, this dude stays downstairs from the old Darwor compound. It is mind-blowingly hilarious that this is that guy. Would love to hear him explain his views on blast beats to Gaucher and try to sound like he knows what he's talking about.

He looks like the uncle that's no longer allowed to family reunions.

you guys should stop being pussies and come over. i already posted my address, why are you still talking shit online? lol

Respond to my solicitations for bare knuckle fisticuffs in the enclave populated by various Asian ethnicities or there are serious questions about your masculine verisimilitude.

who sad anything about fighting i want to prove to you all that i can back up what i say. hell if you want ill just start going into detail about time sigs, polyrythms, and hemiolas. but if you cant count then you wont understand.

This guy almost makes me ashamed to be a drummer who graduated from berklee, but then again im not surprised since most of the people who go there sound just like this faggot.

every other motherfucker at berklee that listens to "metal" is usually wearing a dream theatre shirt, with a few exceptions of course, i do know some real metal heads who went there

overrated band is horribly overrated

I still want to do a band with him that sounds like a cross between Racer X and Surgical Steel.

i do believe i have seen this kid in the hallways at berklee haha

the way you play makes me sad you call yourself a drummer alex fewell.

pwnt

haha, the way i play is the way i want to, not because someone told me to, i dont care if you like my ability or not, at least i dont get hung up on how to classify myself as a drummer

and your music arilliusbm is a waste of internet space. its a prime example of why i dont like blast beats, when the drummer plays you cant hear them, even when you program them shitty like you did you still cant hear them. and every song i heard sounded pretty much the same. melodic composition....lol. whatever. stop calling yourself a musician....please

thanks man

You should judge my non-metal music too. your opinion is extremely relevant.

your welcome

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. THIS THREAD GOT ULTRA HILARIOUS!!!!!!

girl in picture ^ is my ex of 10 years. douche bag who started the thread = her new boyfriend. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

i am really glad you took the time to check out my band! we have plenty of songs about rape that i think you'll just love!

however, considering how shitty your taste in music is, im not too concerned if you like my drumming style, i wouldnt expect you to, since you dont understand the versatility of blast beats and you love prog metal, i really feel sorry for you actually.

soilwork tho? really? REALLY??? whats next, you listen to ICP and thought that Bang, Pow, Boom was their best album to date?

Fucking Prog Drummers, how do they work?

I'm going to give up on music because a korn fan who likes "prog" just called me out on my drums I programmed in 3 minutes for a black metal demo I did 7 years ago. that's it, I'm hanging it up.

Good. Go do a ritual about it faggot

why must you be so harsh Pires

<3

Respond to my solicitations for bare knuckle fisticuffs in the enclave populated by various Asian ethnicities or there are serious questions about your masculine verisimilitude.

So you're saying you wanna fight?

I like Arils tunes.

As for mocking him, at least he's putting music out there. You've got so many fucking excuses. "well, I could give you sheet music". You go to berklee. Go to a lab, sit down in front of some sequencing software and plug it the fuck in.

I used to know a cocky berklee cat just like you. especially the lame crack you took at alex. As I recall, the entire band moved out on him in the middle of the night. And so did every other band after that. This is the career you got to look forward to, proggy.

Chinatown much?

I'm willing to bet 90% of the drummers on here are better than you and can play more styles that you can. just saying.

lol @ cocky berklee cat

Ya know progmetaldrumr, i was going to come to your defense, but you were
defiantly asking for it. Why did you put korn and slipknot under your list of
influences? seriously you could not even get away with that in the midwest.
Also, your username sucks, change it to "fuckingagoatcarcass" take out those
shitty influences and restart the thread. Drummer are doochbags, not
toolbags get it right. (im helping you just in case you're 16)

i am under the distinct impression that this prog drummer goof is a carefully concocted troll executed with precision.

PRECISION TROLLS HOW DO THEY WORK???!!

no, he's really not Tony, i have seen this dude in the halls at berklee, and i know people who work in the area that have seen him as well, its the real deal haha

rev interrogated me last night, asking if I was him

Yeah, no, this kid's legit. HABEEB IT.

Great website...and cool article man...thanx for the great post...keep on posting such articles... Resources like the one you mentioned here will be very useful to me! I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful.

<a href="http://yangutu.com">Dating</a>

hahaha, of all the threads for spambot to bump.

ive seen this toolbag before. I think im going to commit a "random" act of violence against him..

wow, i hope he still lives down the street from me

Like a good neighbor, spambot is there.

Lol, this fucking thread. Maby next time they'll bump bova.

priceless

Epic thread. Stamp. Who said you should judge a book by its cover???

Lamest dude IRL. Did joshhatesyou ever post the n00dz?

sooooo....did he find a band?

i read most of this thread over again, this guy is a bigger moron than i remembered haha

"the bands that i listen to i like, most bands i have heard do not like. Dream Theatre is prog that i like because most prog i do not like. most music sucks and i do not like"

I have asked Jennie this in the least patronizing way possible. Usually while inviting her to Sarcomancy shows.....I honestly want to know what he thinks about all those blastbeats. lol.

Hahahaha this thread is fucking epic

I bet he does a sick burst beat. LOL

nowadays prog metal fuck off

PROGMETAL NEWER

They call him Alex P.U.well 'coz his drummin' stinx

haha, what a lame insult. you can try harder than that.

you mad bro?

I'm gonna be across the street from berkelee in like 10 mins, hopefully I see this tool

On page 2, ArrowheadNLI wrote this:

"Progdrummerguy: I'm pretty much the guy you'd be here looking for. I'm a prog nut, and could use a good number."

Was that serious, and is it still true?

hehehe, i know it's super gay, but i quoted myself because that comment made me laugh. It is funny reading this thread, people consistently asked him to post videos and his response was along the lines of: I could talk about time sigs, polyrhythms etc.., but you guys couldn't count them anyways..."

Yeah, and i could talk about sweep picking crazy scales all day, doesn't mean i can actually do them. If he had only posted a couple videos of himself doing something worthy of his bragging, I for one wouldn't have given him a hard time at all.

dream theater, liquid tension experiment, pantera, fear factory, machine head, slipknot (first cd), mudvayne(first cd), korn(first cd), slayer, sepultura, children of bodem, opeth, lamb of god, soilwork, megadeth, "old" metallica, chimaira, to-mera, between the buried and me, pissing razors primus, maybe even limp bizkit (def. first cd, and none other) ...

WOW

god i hope this kid DIES

grammar, get some

cliffs?

For you xgodzillax------You must be lonely to come back to this same website that shit all over you. What a fat loser. Even your crew turned their backs on you. Nobody here or in life respects you, and you will always be a bitch on RTTP!!! ha ha sucka. An' I ain't progmetaldrumr, ya dick

in all likeliness its probably that weird black french faggot thats all about the push mosh, hot topic, and on more local bands dick than wren.


he wont fight me, cause hes a pussy. oh well
