*POLL*...how bad@ss am I? (story inside)

So last night at about 8 (roughly 12 hours ago), I went and lifted weights/worked out with my roomate and my fiancee until about 8:30.

I got home, cleaned up, and drove an hour and a half to Austin to play on 6th Street with a band some of my friends are in. They paid me $90 and covered my gas to go there and drum a couple of Tool covers with them (Vicarious, Jambi, and Rosetta Stoned) because the songs were a little bit over their drummer's head, and I used to play a lot of music with them, including those songs (in case you're wondering how I just showed up and knew what to play). There were a lot of people there digging it, and I got free food, so that was awesome.

I left Austin and got back here to College Station around 2:30 or 3 this morning. I was so stoked that I sat down and jammed to some music on my Roland V-drums electric kit for about 4 hours, including Dream Theatre, Tool, The Cure, The Mars Volta, Radiohead, A Perfect Circle, The Police, System of a Down, some Deftones, and a little Rush to top it off.

It came around 7 in the morning, and I realized I still wasn't tired, so I went out and ran 5 miles...during which it started raining, and I got soaking wet not to mention some weird looks from people driving around my neighborhood.

So I got back here and changed clothes, made this post because everyone I know is asleep and I wanted someone to share my awesome night with, and now I'm about to go scramble some eggs and bacon and chow down. Maybe after that, I'll sleep.

All in all, I'm feeling really badass right now, so I thought I'd make a poll to see if it's just me...which it probably is. The only down side to all this is that my sleeping pattern is now the exact opposite of what it should be, and I have 2 really bad finals this week. Oh well. Cheers.

you get some kudos for bangin out some DT and Rush on the drums 8)Komodog

But those kudos have been revoked for having an electric drum set. You have to have acoustic.

I can see wanting to share the excitement of it all, but the way you hung the picture suggests a few things I'd rather not express.

If Bad ass means bragging and making up stories then I guess you are pretty bad ass. I don't like braggarts, braggarts brag too much. Not only that but y'all catch me when I'm out of cookies, so I resent y'allfor that, because you put in an awkward cookie less situation with no point nor resolution in sight.

Edit: Either i'm lazy or I'm dyslexic. I think I'm dyslexic.

I actually own both a Pearl Session Custom maple acoustic and a Pearl Studio Masters birch acoustic as well. Can I have my kudos back?

Man, I share a little of my life with Gamespot, and I get flagged as a liar, a bragger, insecure....good thing I have a healthy amount of self esteem in place. Were I as unstable as a few of the people on these boards, I may have followed through with the last option on my poll.Rhythmic_

Dude, you don't make a thread and then insult the people who respond to it. You asked the questions, you have to deal with the answers.

Who's insulting people? I didn't.

You were calling them unstable, and possibly suicidal. That sounds like an insult to me.

I didn't take it as insulting, but as a continuance of sorts.

I know...and I wasn't being serious. I'm aware that I was totally asking for it. I'm still in a great mood.

As a guitar player, I really appreciate a good drummer.

Austin is a great place. You can go out on any night and find 20+ bands playing. Last time I was down there I saw Sound Tribe Sector 9. Zach Velmer blows me away, easily one of the most talented drummers and musicians I've ever seen.

Glad you had a good night, keep up the beats.

You can have some of them back. I'm not down with Pearl. SJC Customs FTW!

No way...I worked at Guitar Center in percussion for a long time, and I had to learn evvverything about all of those kits. Pearl is definitely the way to go, especially for playing live. My electric kit is only for recording sessions when I'm not in a position to record with acoustic, adding various effects into my drum tracks, and playing in the middle of the night.

I was going to knock you down to alright for playing System of a Down (Dirty band :P) but then I saw your sig and it made you my hero! 800th post! AWESOME!solid_mario

Yes, the sig is quite nice. :P

Have sex....ParasiteDemon

Thats the one thing keeping him from badass status.
