Name my Drumkit!!

[funguy2121]

This is mainly me just being lazy, I know, but it's partly due to my lack of imagination. But anyway, I need a name for my new drum kit. Now a name needs to suit the kit, so I'll describe her quickly (she's female by the way); Basic 7 Piece, A deep red burgundy, the Toms are tuned tightly so are slightly higher than usual toms.

Oh, and she's second hand. Don't know if that'll effect anything. Fire away internet, fire those names away.

Brand? Materials? Is she a Starclassic or a Gretch?

I think it's great that she's a 7-tom'r by the way. If I get enough "call" at work (hospital), I should be able to afford a 7-piece bubinga or maple Starclassic set by year's end. That's what I told my boss when we had the talk about overtime: give it to me!

So glad that you're doing your part to contribute to the community of rhythm.

You are the people of music. The people of science. The people of civilization. The people of rhythm! (-unknown 90's London hardcore techno song)

Edit: artist is called "Yolk." Not quite heyday Prodigy, but pretty damned impressive nonetheless. One of my grooves is influenced by a beatbox they did on one of their songs

"Not Derek Roddy" is a good name because that's something that also describes you[footnote]You in a general sense, not directly aimed at OP.[/footnote] as a drummer.

Holy shit, that's an impressive resume. One out of 7 guys auditioned to replace a dude who engineers his own snares?

Still would've gone with "not Danny Carey" or "not Tim Alexander," though. Thanks, Tim, for introducing the rest of the non-metal world to the gorgeousness that is the double bass pedal. Also: I lost my virginity to Tommy the Cat.

Try and figure out which of the above statements is a lie

I don't know who Danny Carey is, and Tim 'Herb' Alexander isn't really as impressive when it comes to diversity in drumming.

And I'm guessing the false statement is you losing your virginity.

Fix! use "
How many drumline vets on here? Anyone remember the drummerspeak onamonapaea their instructurs used to use? EzzzGatmmm, etc?

You guys are really folding on this. This is cake, this is more than cake, this is cheese. You dudes should be nails on this. You should have it burning by now. Fuckin' high school clowns

Edit: stupid internet (stupid internet user: me). Mr. Hirst, quote me to see what the Hell I'm trying to say

 

[zelda2fanboy]

Rhea Perlman. I don't know why, just do it.

...to Tommy the Cat. I lost my virginity to a girl who really wasn't very good at faking it for five minutes. Relax, I got better. And Tim Alexander may not have the chops of Danny Carey (drummer for Tool), but he drums circles around Portnoy, a guy who basically said "Anyone who does this...(taps fingers on table)...should listen to Danny Carey." Danny Carey buries Jon Bonham, even accounting for the passage of decades. People should conceive and bear children to Danny Carey's drumming.

Never. Never. Name your drumkit. This is from experience. Once she breaks, which she will, you'll regret ever learning the drums!

Poor, poor Jessica Alba. I named her that since every day I banged her. *sigh*

Comedy? Oh, you fickle internet with your inability to convey tone the way normal conversation can.

Besides, you should've named her Ellen Page or Scarlett Johansen. And how does one break a drumset.

Well, now I feel stupid.

I shall name my future drumset "Salma Hayek." Maybe only slightly less gorgeous than Drew Barrymore, but I believe that Salma is more of a freak. Or maybe Monica Belluci. (Don't know who she is, nerds? She's Mary Magdalene in Passion of the Christ, the Merylvyngian's wife Persiphone in the 2nd and 3rd Matrix films, and "the whore" in Shoot 'Em Up).

 

[funguy2121]

Rhea Perlman. I don't know why, just do it.

EDIT: Carla as in Carla from Cheers,

Oh my God, you are so awesome. It took like 5 seconds to realize who you were talking about. At first I was thinking Taxi. By the way, any relation to RON Pearlman?

With that ridiculous jaw and ultra-manly presence of his, he deserves to have a signature Pearl series, at least

 

[Alssadar]

Reginald. I mean, why wouldn't you name something Reginald? The name is absolutely smashing! ('Tis a pun, yes?)

 

[2xDouble]

Since I don't know you or your drumkit, I'm just gonna throw out random ideas:

Skittles
Twilit Bongo
Crimson Thunder (which sounds more like a Gatorade flavor)
Pickles, the Drumkit
Larry
A random girl's name
Random Girl's Name (either way works. heh)
Helghast
Proto Cannon
Soundmachine
The Machine
The Ripper
Steve
(your name with a drum pun in it)
Traps and Tangles
Percussion
The Section
Misogyny
Redheaded Stepchild (not as funny as it sounds)
(drumkit's brand/model name)
Brand or Model Name (works for this too. heh)

How do you like my shotgun approach?

Alex, after the drummer for Psychostick. Awesome drummer, and it's a non-gender name.

Clearly you've not played a kit on tour.

Poor Jessica.... I split her snare, shattering the shell, halfway through a song but a snare is easily replaced. At a later show we swapped vans, during the transaction we were very drunk, the guitarist of the group fell on her and it couldn't take it, tearing the metal grips straight through her and splitting it. I nearly cried.

The next day the kit was replaced with an exact replica, though it wasn't Jessica... *tear*
