  2. DDRUM Drum Trigger Set

    in Equipment

    Posted

    I am selling a set of drum triggers - DDrum Red Shot Triggers

    Full set of 5 triggers (1 bass drum trigger, 4 normal triggers)

    Please note, the scratches you see in the picture are on the plastic box - the triggers themselves are basically brand new.

    The box is open but only one of the triggers has ever been on a drum, and it wasn't even really used at all.

    I am selling them on ebay here: DDRUM Red Shot 5x Trigger Set - Brand New Cond. on eBay (end time 14-Feb-10 21:02:41 GMT)

    I'm in Peterhead so if anyone from Aberdeen buys them I can deliver them for free whenever I am in Aberdeen next. If you don't use ebay, then feel free to make me an offer on here, either in this thread or by private message.

  10. Door to door Mormons

    in General Discussion

    I was christened in a protestant church to appease my Grandmother and was sent to Sunday school until I was given the choice at the age of 10. Does anyone know if you can get unchristened or does my 15 year lapse in attendance and lack of prayers automatically cancel my spiritual contract?

    Don't worry. If you didn't believe in God when you were 'christened' then it is null and void by default.

    With regards Mormonism, Ask them how they can preach to you to have moral values, when their founder, Joseph Smith had 80 wives.

  16. mp3 player advice

    in General Discussion

    Like Craig B said.

    I don't understand why MP3 players always seems to break. I mean, come on, there are no moving parts. What is there to go wrong? I am on my third minidisc player, bot only because I upgraded from MD to NetMD to HiMD.

    My first minidisc player, a Sony, is about 7 years old, and still works perfectly. The battery needs to be held in with some tape, and I've had to replace the headphones obviously, but the thing has had some abuse in its life and survived. It was thrown about in schoolbags and dropped on hard ground many times. The thing is full of tiny fragile delicate moving parts, yet to this day it has never failed.

    For the forseeable future I would rather have a HiMD player than any MP3 player. I don't care what anyone says. The discs are 1Gb, which is nothing compared to an average iPod, but care, I have 30 albums on it, 200Mb of files on it, and it still has a good bit of space left on the one disc. The sound quality is indistinguishable from my mates iPod with the same tracks converted and uploaded from the same MP3 files.

    My minidisc player also has a removable rechargeable battery, and it can take regular AA's too. In your face every iPod owner who has ever had battery trouble.

    However.

    Software. wtf.

    When will the manufacturers realise that nobody cares about anything other than moving files from their computer onto their portable music player of choice. All the software I have seen/used is simply awful. iTunes, SonicStage, whatever. Why can't they just allow you to drag and drop MP3 files onto the player akin to using a USB flash drive or something similar? Why force the users to use terrible, bloated, slow, buggy, terrible software? I use SonicStage for my minidisc player out of necessity and can live with it, but it could be so much simpler and streamlined without losing any functionality that anyone actually uses/cares about.

    (I don't know what the deal is with Creative Zens. Are they just as bad?)

    Anyway, I still can't understand why MP3 players always break. The components they use must fucking suck.
