    Good morning, Sports Racers!
  1. Fuck. Travis's drumming on TOYPAJ is what made me want to start playing the drums in the first place. I really hope that he and DJ AM make it out okay. When I saw +44 he gave me a FSAS Keychain. he seemed like a pretty chill guy. RIP.
  2. MY NAME IS BLADE SHUT UP MARK hahahahaha
  3. Hey FFS I tried to PM you, but you need to upload part 4 somewhere else. That new link you gave me was the same as the old one. EDIT: hah, nevermind I got it working finally.
  4. Well their customer service might be great but their heads apparently suck. Both of the heads they sent me are broken, both within 3 hours of playing. Next time I'm in town (leaving for college tomorrow) I'm going to that shop I bought the first one from and asking for my money back, and with that money I'm buying another Evans head. Aquarian can go fuck themselves.
  5. Its not fake. you probably werent around when the band was starting and album was about to come out. they played small shows in California and i remember this one show where there were a few celebrites in the audience (i remember one of them being Kelly Osbourne). The pic isnt fake Tim did perform with BCR as did Mark Hoppus, if you were around back then you would have read about it in reviews. I was joking, man. I must've phrased my joking wrong.
  6. Well I got two brand new replacement heads fresh out of the factory a week or so ago, and I got around to putting one on today. Sounds great, and I beat the shit out of it for about an hour, with no chipping Aquarian rocks hard.
  7. Thanks man, I've always wondered how he played that thing at the end. Now maybe I can brush up on it!
  8. I heard the announcer at the beginning and then I got the meaning of the song haha.
  9. hey well at least you said something and it wasn't, "ZOMG TRAVIS bARKER I LUV YOU AAARRGH SIGN MY SHIT"
  10. Okay, Aquarian customer service ftw. I got a call from Roy Burns this morning while driving to work, and I explained my situation to him. He's a great guy and asked for my address so he could send me "a couple heads" free of charge. I told him how awesome their customer service was, talked drumming for a little bit, and I thanked him again. Holy crap aquarian ftw.
  11. Yeah, I've heard great things about their customer service, so I dropped them a line. I was given a phone number to call and left a message for Roy Burns. I'll more than likely hear from him tomorrow.
  12. Okay so two weeks ago I finally went through my Evans snare head, and went over to a local music shop to buy another. I get there, and find that they're charging like $31 for a fucking Evans head, and I didn't want to spend that much. I look around the rest of the heads selection and decided on Aquarian's Texture Coated w/ Power Dot head which was $26.50 (god damned music shop overprices all their shit. should've ordered off musician's friend instead). So I take it home, take off the old head, put the new one on, tuned it up, and played for a bit. after about 30 minutes, I look down at the snare head and notice that a huge amount of the head's coating was chipping off: (Yeah I know I probably sit a bit too close to the snare, and that's why the worn area is off-center.) So I'm like, "WTF Aquarian?!" and I take it back to the shop. One of the co-owners used to work for Remo and was like, "holy crap that's not normal. I'll call our supplier and get you a new one" So, the new one came in yesterday, and I picked it up after work. I took it home, replaced the head, and played on it for a bit, with no visible chipping. Cut to today when I come home, and tighten the head up a little more, considering I hit it a few times yesterday and gave it some time to set in. I play on it for a few minutes, and then check the head to find: Tomorrow I'm going back to that shop, getting a refund, and ordering an Evans head off Musician's Friend. I might've just gotten two flukes, but I'm not ever considering Aquarian again, nor will I recommend them to anyone. Thing is, playing my drums after work is the only thing keeping me sane this summer, and I want to play tonight, but can't.
  13. There's a reason the only place you'll ever see these people are on VH1 shows.
