Musicians Unite!

It's all about the drums.

I just got a job, so now I'm finally gonna start taking lessons. Gee, Funk, what style? Hmmmmm.... maybe FUNK? Also, Funk has a few things in common with Jazz drums, and I'd like to get into that too.

Although, I don't have my priorities strait. My musical to-do list is:
- Upgrade my big wet steamer of a set
- Get lessons
- Get some Steel Drums

I haven't decided which comes first.

And FUCK YES on the Rush. Rush is all. All is Rush. Well, most is Rush, some is Dream Theater.

But shit man, 2112 and Animate are probably the best songs ever fucking written.

"Vapor Trails" is the last album and it's awesome.

It's best to go with a compilation, "Rush in Rio", though live, is a good choice.

I saw there 30th anniversary tour in Virginia Beach, the second time I saw them in an outdoor ampitheatre, and the fifth time I saw them (three times in Albany, NY).

I've been playing the guitar for about 7 or 8 years.
I've been playing the bass for about the same, i love the bass
I played the saxaphone for about 7 years and the trombone for 4
When I went to basic training, they made me play the baritone.
I really wanna learn the drums, thats looks so friggin awesome.

If anyonw lives near central OH and wants to jam, let me know, I'm up for it.

Here are some fo the diff albums I recommend

2112 - The epic album. Its all kinda one big song, so take it as you will. I will say, this cd does show what rush is all about.

Moving Pictures - This album has alot of of the more popular songs on it. "YYZ" "Tom Sawyer" and I think "limelight" is also on it. One of my personal fav cds.

Rush:Live in Rio - This is prolly my fav cd. Its a 3 cd live concert, and has just about every great rush song on it. It is live and its mixed a little wierd(very guitar heavy) but I still love, and this is what I personaly would tell you to get

Vapor Trails - Rush's newest cd. Alot of poeple didn't like it, its very guitar driven like old rush, kinda an edgy rock. I enjoyed the cd, but pick it up at your own risk.
