BF2S Forums My Band

Ty, for the time being, if your band wants to practice, but cant get to your drummers house ect, try getting one of those softwares with drum loops or whatever

Try downloading the free trial of Guitar Pro, thats pretty good, should a couple of my mates use it when they can't be arsed forming together to jam

Just punch in some basic drum loops, hook your PC up to some phat speakers, adjust the volume and play!

Sounds prity good man. You are a tight drummer for your age. One bit of advise. Ditch the double pedal, its cheating
You should work on your single base drum technique and be able to do those doubles and work the hats at the same time. Just takes practice.
Also form a good relationship with a bass player asap, he is your best friend in life and you should know him/her so well, that you know when hes going to change and were he is going with a bass line before he does. Ive been playing with the same guys for years and a little look from him and I know exactly what hes about to do.
Ive been playing drums for nearly 16 years now and the biggest thing to help my playing was listening to as many different genres of music and taking bits from it all. Listen to some jazz, anything with Billy Coban playing on it is a good start.
Goodluck, supper stardom is beaconing.
I played abut with these guys last year, its the only music I have on the web. www.thejahmband.com

GAH! You have no Bass player! And no singer! This cannot do!
A band has to have a Bass player. For the song/video you had on your site, you'll probably need a good one two, because that song kind of calls for a tricky bass line.

Your lead guitarist is superb by the way, and your drum solo was awesome too. Will you be putting that in an actual song rather than just a jam session? It would probably work really well.
You have a good kit too. Lucky bastard, our Drummer destroyed his kit and couldn't afford another.

Basicly, you need a Bass player, and you need a singer. That first track needed a good bass line too with a lot of movement up and down the neck.

Who are your influences?

Play loud,

Thanks! My influences (for drums) are Jeremy Hummel (Breaking Benjamin), Jimmy 'The Reverand' Sullivan (Avenged Sevenfold) and my drum teacher!
