More Drums.
So we had our first band practice today. We didnt play any of the planned songs, but we did about three 5+ minute long jams that were fuckin awesome. The guitarist, corvin(sp?), is exactly like brendan in every fucking way. Its indescribable. He even played some riffs he made up, which at first i mistook for some stuff brendan wrote back in the day. Then he started talkin about how he was doin salvia last night. I am very scared. The singer, evan, is really into As I Lay Dying and Killswitch Engage and that shit. He kept tellin the guitarist s "play the fastest song you know", so they played smoke on the water together. I laughed. And of course, Alex is the fuckin shit at bass. Tons o' fun.
Then, theys tarted talking about other musicians at school. And they came across this sohpomore drummer, who is apparently better than me. Alex says he's a totally different style, but the singer wouldnt shut up about how fast he was and saying how awesome he was. That pissed me off. I'm supposed to be the best (at Bear River, at least). So now i have mroe motivation to practice. Also, when we were jamming, i notcied my beats being very simple and generic. I wanted to die. I can't be generic, i can't be normal. I need to stand out, i need to be noticed, and i need to know that i'm the best. Thats where i find my self-respect. So i'm going to practice being more fluid with my style, more out-there. So, my plan is to learn every Tool song. I'm going to start at the beginning, and just play every song over and over until i can play it. Danny Carey is so amazingly creative, im bound to pick up new techniques and ideas along the way.
I'm listening to Opiate right now, trying to get all the drums down. This is their easiest, and shortest album. I can't imagine it taking me more than a month to learn it, if i practice consistently.
I will be the best. There is no other option.
Go fuck yourself.
Go fuck yourself.
You piece of shit.
Why don't you just go kill yourself?
