It would be interesting to see all the MOD's in the arena.
I've seen more tech advice from the MOD's.
Now we've heard the talk, now let's see the walk.

How about it MOD's.

[skinslapper]

I'll have a crack with der tromler. Whadjya reckon?

I've been thinkin I'd like to throw my pre-planned solo up against someone elses. How about that for a theme?

[Der Trommler]

It could happen.........

[skinslapper]

So how about these conditions; Camcorder only (no external mics / mixing) 5 minutes max, on a pre-prepared solo. As such I think we should include a criteria regarding compostition.

What else do you think we should be judged on?

[Der Trommler]

I will do this but I am going to need some time. I just had a microdiscetomy done (back surgery) and haven't been behind my skins in about eight months. It will take a month or so in physical therapy to get my back muscles strengthened so I can do this without discomfort.

Skinslapper those conditions seem fine although my solo jam would probably be improved as I have not played an arranged solo in many many years. As far as what to be judged on I say vote for who they think sounds the best. I don't see another way because we are not mic'ing and mixing so it would be difficult to here alot of the detail.

I agree with you Mr. Der. One mic, come on Mr. Skin, give us a break. My son also agrees with me as for the one mic thing, and he graduates from college this year in "Entertainment Technologies". I saw the last competition and I have Bose speakers hooked up to my PC, I noticed quite a few notes missing.

As Yoda says" DO or DO NOT".

Lets get professional here, and break that piggy bank a little, or rent the equipment. Make a big impression is what all of us want.



As for Mr. Der, I had a Lumpectomy done on the L4/L5 with fusion 7 years ago. It ain't pretty. That discomfort even, I play with it, but have learned to cope with it provided the weather conditions are right. I know recently that the conditions there within your area vary, but as for Mr. Skin, a big dry spell in his area.

I'm rooting for Mr. Der. He's got a handy cap and I'm waiting to here if Mr. Skin's got one.
So let's give Mr. Der some time to re-coop, I can relate to that.
Take your time Mr. Der and hope you get well soon.

Good Luck to both of you, and Many Blessings.

[Der Trommler]

Thanks for the kind words Jim. I don't need a fusion yet and hope that will never be the case (knock on wood). I think as long as we both used the camcorder mic or one external mic that we would go apples to apples. I am good with that.

I think skinslapper does have a handicap doesn't he? I thought I listened to him playing some thrash or punk or something like that! Just kiddin my brother from down under.
