Women drummers

Don't tell me what to do!!! They aren't even the issue since they're on the other side of town, you barely even hear them over here...

They can play all they want right now, but it's gotta be quiet by 9:00 PM per our rules...

I can't even hear my mom out in the yard 😬

The dance studio didn't just shut down for no reason; they're actually following the rules—they won't reopen until they've properly soundproofed the place...

As for the fine, I'm pretty sure the owner is the only one on the hook for it, which means he'll probably just try to squeeze it out of us later... honestly, I suspect the whole thing is a setup involving some specialist decibel meter the studio hired themselves to make things look worse than they are.

They’re playing now, but they’ll wrap things up by 9:00 PM and they're keeping the volume lower than usual... at least, that's how we see it.

It's a total joke. I guess that venue on Sunset Boulevard isn't quite the holy grail everyone makes it out to be.
Personally, my crew doesn't even start our rehearsal sessions until 9:00 PM. 🙂I mean, who wants to deal with this heat earlier in the day?
p.s. My band—we're mostly doing noise-rock right now—is looking for a sweet bassist, maybe someone feminine or just a guy with a beard. We've already got the gear and a solid rehearsal space sorted. So, if you're interested, reach out. It might actually be worth your time. Shoot me a DM for the details.

If their unit was right next to mine and the neighbors were this close, we would have been having this conversation much sooner. 😁

Robin Booth said:Last week I had a word with the blue-uniformed security guard (he’s a decent guy🙂). I questioned him about the whole police incident because certain people on this forum (😉) were already trying to pin the blame on me...😁 Just because we were present when the cops showed up. We weren't even playing past 10:00 PM. That is a fact.

Well, I heard the full story from the guest guitarist. For a split second, I was actually ready to blame you too.😁

Seriously, there are groups out there that don't know when to quit—playing until 11:00 PM and all that. One or two idiots can ruin it for everyone.

And who would that be?
I haven't been around for a while..

Angela Chavez36 said:And who exactly are we talking about here?

Since when does anyone start making a fuss only after 9 PM?

People are out there playing music with their windows wide open all night long.🙄

Man, remember that one drummer who started playing this heavy metal set and just ended up stripping down to her underwear while the bassist went completely naked too... I think it was some duo from Eastern Europe performing at a club like the Fillmore or something a few years back... seriously, that was some wild, once-in-a-lifetime stuff right there.🙂
They actually sound pretty similar to Sabotage, except their bass player keeps that heavy overdrive going the entire time. What was their name again?😕

Ethan Perez28 said:So people only start complaining when they hit the U21 level?

And then you've got folks jamming with the windows wide open.🙄

Facts.. I was just heading out to grab some Synth and someone's over there practicing drums with the windows down. Seriously, people need to get a grip before we all get kicked out.😠 😕

mainscream said:It’s Tara Jane O'Neil. Period. End of story.

Hold on just a second.
Isn't she supposed to be the bassist?
She handles the vocals AND she's a damn fine painter, too.

...so, I was chatting with the concierge again😁

The band played the other night and it felt super weird because nobody was actually playing anything, so as I was heading out, I asked my uncle what the deal was.

He was just like, "It’s nothing crazy, everyone is probably just melting from the heat..." and honestly, it was pretty brutal outside.
I even checked in about that inspector lady who stopped by, and he said she finished up and headed off on vacation, so🙂

as for those girls who are always jumping around, they're actually on some kind of tour over in Bulgaria(?), which explains why they aren't around...

Bottom line is, everything is totally fine at Buttons Inc., we just really need people to step up and be a bit more responsible moving forward.🙂

Yes, I also heard today that things at Buttons Inc. are finally stabilizing somewhat.

Thomas Myers6 said:It’s basically just a total mess. Looks like Buttons Inc. isn't actually the gold standard everyone claims they are.

Nah, it's perfect. It's literally a five-minute walk from my place.😁

Thomas Myers6 said:We've already got all the gear we need.

Don't even start with the lies.😉 😁

I was just thinking about Dee Plakas, the drummer from the band L7, who put out that absolutely stellar album, The Beauty Process, back in 1997.

Robin Booth said:Don't lie to me.😉 😁

Me, lying? I mean, just think back to how much you were drooling when you saw gogin's setup—that guitar, the pedals, the Rickenbacker, the whole kit, and all those other little luxuries we have sitting in our rehearsal space. 😉
Look, we don't have a decent bass amp. And honestly, what are the guitarists or the drummer going to do with one? Just let it sit there collecting dust?😁

Thomas Myers6 said:Am I kidding? Just think back to how much you were drooling when you saw gogin's guitar setup—the pedals, that Rickenbacker, the whole kit, and all those other sweet perks sitting right there in our rehearsal space. 😉
Look, sure, we’re missing a decent bass amp. But honestly, what are the guitarists or the drummer going to do with one? Just let it sit there collecting dust?😁

It’s not even that I was drooling or anything... nothing really jumped out at me specifically... I was mostly just observing everything with interest...😁

Angela Chavez36 said:Yeah, I heard from someone at Buttons Inc. today that things are finally starting to settle down a bit.

The inspector is still out on vacation, though...🙄
Honestly, if you guys were working in a real corporate office setting, you’d figure out which specific section of the window is reacting poorly to certain bases, kill off that reaction, and everything would be a hundred times better instantly...
Oh, and one more thing... did anyone actually see the official report the inspector handed over? I heard some pretty nasty stuff was written in there.😠

Robin Booth said:...so I was talking to the security guard again😁

They were playing music the other night, and it felt weirdly quiet otherwise, so on my way out, I asked my uncle why nobody else was playing anything.

He just told me there wasn't any drama, people were probably just too wiped from the heat... and honestly, it was scorching out.

When I caught up with Bush, he was bragging about how he scrubbed down the restrooms, claiming everything is finally going to be fine with the sanitation standards now.😲 😂

So yeah, that’s the latest on the security staff.☕

Ethan Perez28 said:When I was talking to Bush, he bragged about cleaning the bathrooms himself, saying everything would be fine with the sanitation now.😲 😂

So much for the janitors.☕

That's just Bush though... pretty sure everyone else is fine.

Ethan Perez28 said:When I spoke with Bush, he bragged about cleaning out the restrooms himself, claiming everything would be fine with the sanitation department now.😲 😂

Pure comedy. 🤣 🤣

Angela Chavez36 said:well yeah, I heard everything from your guest guitarist. For the first few seconds, I was totally ready to just lay into you guys too.😁

From who?😕
Wait, have we actually met before?🙂
