[quote name='BassDad' post='71540' date='Oct 9 2007, 12:14 PM']Hi Guys, just picking your brains here anyone have any experiences wuth the Peavey Tour series of amps? Good or bad all replies welcome. cheers Frank.[/quote] I tried one of these ..This week.. It was through a GK 4X10... I was amazed at the the volume and very tight sound.... Maybe it could have been a combination of the cab and amp.? It had a much more focused sound than my Fafner.. £330.00...!!! Garry

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='98778' date='Dec 4 2007, 01:08 PM']He certainly used his stock phrases as much as the rest of us (an hour with a copy of the Parker Omnibook and a highlighter pen will prove that!!).[/quote] That is such a good book for chop practise [as well as ear training, on the old 2/5/1] In fact , a perfect xmas gift along with the Metro Gnome... Going not to well elsewhere.. Garry

[quote name='bilbo230763' post='98717' date='Dec 4 2007, 12:04 PM']He repeated himself an awful lot and anyone who has, at any point, listened to a lot of Jaco's stuff will confirm that.[/quote] I do agree with you 100%.... But then did a certain mr Parker.. Garry

[quote name='garbev' post='98424' date='Dec 3 2007, 08:58 PM']Anyhoo, try loops for practice, keep time and develop "The Groove"[/quote] Thats the way to go..! Garry

With Sequencer software and there cheaper cut down versions... You can easily practise with drum/chord grooves , which makes it much more interesting for the musical ear..and help give you the feel for music. [Remember...thats what its all about at the end of the day. Its very easy for Jeff Berlin to say that there is no need... But he has had over 30 years playing with Human metronomes...[Some of the best drummers] AS for not in Classical...? Whats the Guy in a Penguin suit in front of a 90 piece Orchestra doing.. Waving to his mum..? Any aid to making you into a better musician , is gotta be good for you.. Garry

[quote name='Crazykiwi' date='Dec 2 2007, 10:35 PM' post='97835'] Mate you should have seen the drummers we turned down! When you're making a bit of money suddenly every pro out there wants to be best mates. ). Yer some of the so called [u]'PRO'S' [/u][b][/b]should use the money to buy a metronome.. Or maybe just buy a gnome and stay in the garden and talk about what sticks they use. Garry
