    To be honest I prefer a computer for putting together beats, I'd like to see a drummer with a traditional drumkit write a convincing 180 bpm breakbeat.

    course, you can do that easily with a bodhran (its the triples).

    your metal aversion means you haven't heard drummers battering skins quickly- 180 bpm is only 3 a second- double bass kick competently thrashed can do more than 3Hz of the skins.

    p.s. i'm v. fond of my djembe- will get a tabla and duggy one day. had hassle getting the duggy whoop right with the heel of my hand- you can practice on a djembe or bongoes a bit but its not quite the same. also with tablas you've got the pinging to do with your fingertips while you're whooping with the rest of your hand. which is a bitch.

    what do you call those big north african drums that look like bodhrans but you don't use a stick? anyone had a go of one?

    As for chops Frosty, I've always understood that to be the ability to play cleanly and accurately. e.g. 'When I got the plaster off my arm it took me weeks to get my chops back'

    As in

    'forget their chops and play real dumb or else they would be sunk?'

    Nice..

    you might like Varese also- Ionisation or Deserts maybe.

    Dunno if its strictly atonal, but i like muchly.

    Even better than a prepared piano and a stihl saw. (is that where cage starts bleeding into stockhausen? or only if there's a helicopter involved?)

    no, stripey would say slayer is shite. ( if slayer rocks, then slayer must be in the singular)

    i think you'll find the rest of stripey's invective about as consistent and interesting as his/her grammar.

    but i still think atom should do chief rebel angel.

    or titties and beer.

    it was the blackest night, there was no moon in sight,

    you know the stars ain't shinin cos the sky's too tight

    i heard the scary wind, i seen some ugly trees,

    there was a werewolf stompin long beside of me......

    or zombie woof

    my right foots bigger than my other one is,
