Things that happen in a jamming studio ...

[gothviruz]

Just to share with softies the things that some ppl do in a jamming studio...

1) Bring in birthday cake to celebrate band member's birthday
2) Bring liquor along with the birthday cake to celebrate band member's birthday
3) Break or crack cymbals (very common, due to improper playing technique)
4) Break cymbal stands (how the hell? I'm not talking abt cheapo stands)
5) Leaving a large hole in the wall (probably they hated themselved and bang their heads hard on the wall)
6) Turning all the machine heads of guitars to make them out of tune
7) Ripping off guitar cables from the amps like as if they are playing tug-o-war
8 ) Using their magical powers and turn a high end Pearl snare into some cheap brandless one
9) Also using their magical powers and make drum pedals beaters vanish into the air
10) Bringing pets such as cats into the studio (just cos they r singing 'Cats in the Craddle' .. dun ask me wat song is tis.. i also dunno.. haha)
11) Taking drinks from the fridge without paying just because 'the crews are outside smoking'
12) making a guitar effect pedal disappear from the counter
13) telling the staff after a jamming session : "Can i come back next week to pay?"

... list can go on.. anyone wanna add on for me?

A very interesting read. I didn't know that happened in your studio and maybe others.

"But whoever eats chilli, your tounge will get burnt hot!" - Nice one!

yeah,i used to work at tiet studio,i know how it feels..

they put cold drinks on top of amps..
bring home cables and jacks..
sneak into other studios to go berserk with the drums..
place a mic into the bass drum(very stupid thing to do)..
and giving false membership number to get discounts(no money, go jam under the block or at some deserted playground)

hehe

[gothviruz]

wah.. so far no one burn guitars yet.. hahah.. if dat happens, i must make sure i got fire insurance

liquor and beer into a studio is a must have. i think the jam folks need to invest on a a small ikea table or shelves to we can put our beer/booze on it \m/ and 1 more thing. where is the guitar stand? its kinda stupid for some jam studio that doesn't even have a guitar stand!

^ I think he means bringing the cables home, not bringing cables from home.

 

[tpiledriver]

Using microphone to hit the crash cymbals
Using water bottle to hit the crash cymbals
Stand up on top of the bass drum
Stand up on top of the amps
Tossing song sheets all over the floor
Do the 'yo-yo' with the microphones
Dance in circle...

Sorry but i beg to differ. Why i said so:-

a) some studio users are sensitive to these alcholic issues, in terms of religion
b) booze, or any other kinda drinks may spill onto the carpet, causing it to be wet and damp, and will produce stench. Not good for the next few users
c) spilling onto amps? (of cos if there's no IKEA tables as mentioned)
d) some may get drunk and drunkards will cause problem (from experience)

These are just my 2.5 cents.
Cheers

Btw, are you Yusri? I know Yusri from the old CardiacNacropsy, and Zamri, Salleh.. the old boys. Send my hellos to them

 

[OlaskZ]

Yeah , actually most studio doesn't allow food and drinks .
But once this studio guy came in to tell us that we've 5 minutes left , and i was jamming with my band while eating a hotdog bun .
He just turned and walked away .

Well i don't know why i mention this , but whatever .

hahha.. babysit? Can lah, pay extra. With experience $5/hr, w/out then $3

Got one guy ever asked me to tune a bass guitar, he said he only know how to tune guitar but not bass (???), and another guy from the same group asked how come the guitar got a lot of feedback, then turn out he plugged the cable into the mic powered amp!..

But all these still ok lah, no damaged done.

 

[kawerty]

Damn these inconsiderate ppl =.= I play drums,and i ever gone to a music studio during last year december holidays,(dun wanna say the name) then the cymbals all 'hidden' around the room,they made a hole in the snare+bass , pedals dissappeared, cymbals stands kenna bend(they must be real strong) =.= The same place,the guitar cables were gone,strings cut,bass' string were lovelovelovelovelovelovelove losen,most amps the electricity wire were cut and the piano keys were torn apart.

We asked the uncle,then he say no rooms left,so can't change,then say before us got primary+secondary skul looking malay boys in groups of 4-5 go in play,he heard guitars w/ drums,so everything must be working well before they left =.=

That wsa the only fu(ked up session we had,cause all in all,we still had to pay $5 to 'Book' the room . =.=

Should put a security guard in every Jamming studio's rooms to supervise,especially the teenagers.

 

[naomi watts]

or a security guard holding on to a camera.

in every room.
