It's an instrumental cover of "Afterglow" by Finding Michelle, thanks to them for the song. It really doesn't follow the song much, just slightly.

Well my set up is really simple, I use a cheap(well not that cheap, but some weird taiwan brand) set, it's maple wood. 14" wood snare, 16" floor tom, and I think a 12 and 13 rack tom. So my set up is a very standard jazz kinda set up, I use only the 12" and 16" toms. Now comes the expensive-r part.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cymbals:&lt;br /&gt;Started out with cheapo Paiste 101s. For people with a real tight budget I actually think the ride's not too bad for ... anything but crashing. Quite dark sound, but that's probably just because its lousy and has no tone so it sounds flat and dry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've got a 16" Avedis Fast Crash, wouldn't recommend that to anybody. Regret getting it kinda. It's only really nice for malleting, you get this really grand big sound that you wouldn't expect from a fast crash.&lt;br /&gt;Next up are my 14" A Custom Projection Hats. Very "chicky", with a large bell. Loud. Not recommended for home sets, but I think they're pretty good for rock/heavier genres when gigging.&lt;br /&gt;And my prized possession, a 20" K Custom Medium Ride which I only purchased a few months back. It's a rather versatile ride, but more towards the jazz side. Does not complement my hats at all. The ride sounds either awesome or aweful, depending on the song. But the bell is very nice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pedals:&lt;br /&gt;I use Pearl Eliminators, the P-2002Cs. Err I'm not very good at double pedalling though. They're nice pedals, smooth and they look good too. Preferred them to the iron cobras (Tama). Durability wise it's been reviewed pretty well, not too pricey either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sticks:&lt;br /&gt;Ah a drummer's arsenal of woody things. I have not found a pair of nylon tipped sticks that I like. I mainly switch between Vater Manhatten 7As and Zildjian Jazz woodtips. Err also have got a pair of zildjian horacio "el negro" hernandez sticks. Those are really thin. Can't remember what the other pair is, some artist series as well. Bascially I like 7A-ish sized sticks.

What I've Done&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Songs that I want to try (feel free to add to the list)&lt;br /&gt;1. Into the Night - Santana feat Chad Kroeger&lt;br /&gt;but don't know whether this is feasible&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Baby when you're gone - Bryan Adams&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-0IeJMfFKg&lt;br /&gt;the live versions are cooler, but he gets fans to sing with him and they kinda suck. Listen to the live version especially for bass and stuff&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Can't take my eyes off of you :D - Just watch the muse cover la, original by frankie valli i think&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah that's my input for now. We should work on our vocals and dynamics, and start to explore other genre's.

Yes, this was legal. Un-band witnessed a formula drift car inside a very tight compound, we passed by flying cd-s and landed ourselves in a haunted hotel. The thought of it sent shivers down our spines. Yet we gritted our teeth and entered the spooky place to face our fears and say hi to a few of the scarier ghosts. Other than that, it was an enjoyable time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Personally, time was very tight for the duration leading up to funorama, but now I have some time to sit back and complete the other mountain of homework. Oh, I just received a brilliant book, bass for dummies! lol. So here an update on our extremely slack lives!

Thong also came down and really made a huge difference with superb bass skills! I'll let the others put in their feedback too but I just want to say a few things about today's session.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Firstly I'll talk bout the bandmates for today. Gaby is seriously good. Like whoa solos are amazing now and she plays faster than I can say bob. Rob I think has good potential and will make a good bassist, he learns real fast and pluck pretty fast too. Singing wise err...most of the time he sings in tune but for some stuff can't reach the notes but a considerable upgrade from GS' vocalist.  So I suppose we're still searching for a vocalist. Mentos. Hmm well he showed ability to learn, but yeah I suppose he lacks practice and experience and stuff. Like firstly he needs his own gear so that he can be familiar with tones and all, be it with an electric or acoustic guitar. So I think we'll continue "monitoring" him I suppose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a little jam with Thong later on and all I can say is it's one of the best grooves I've had. His own fills/punches are like somehow the same as what I like to play, and yeah it was really very nicely syncopated. He played digimon awesome, especially with Gaby on the electric. The tones were perfect. Absolutely perfect.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway some of the stuff we covered were: This Love (maroon5), she will be loved (maroon5), what i've done (linkinpark) and the digimon song;butterfly! Oh we also did the adventure by Angels and airwaves. Focus was this love and butterfly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Honestly speaking good job to everybody, it was the best jam I've had so far, although it was a little tiring. So hopefully we can do black parade for mentos the next time round, along with more songs! Suggestions please! MStick out.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7855978059648002546-6986831923568076311?l=un-band.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://un-band.blogspot.com/feeds/6986831923568076311/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7855978059648002546&amp;postID=6986831923568076311' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7855978059648002546/posts/default/6986831923568076311'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7855978059648002546/posts/default/6986831923568076311'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://un-band.blogspot.com/2008/03/first-meeting.html' title='The First Meeting'/><author><name>mac</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148232311176456522</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855978059648002546.post-8614743433355792084</id><published>2008-03-11T20:47:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-03-11T21:05:26.762+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Un-Jam (Now with 50% more dash-es)</title><content type='html'>So Un-band (with a dash) had their first ever jam with unofficial members and i thought it was pretty good jam. like, some of the best jam i have had in a while. hopefully it will get even better for the subsequent jams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kay, i'll leave the recount to you guys.

Our band, it seems is lacking in certain key areas of an ideal band, namely, a keyboardist and vocalistS. As of now, I'll be a singer!! =) So cool. Due to certain disruptions to our current jamming schedules, we are unable to organise a proper session. But we in un-band do not grow slack so easily.&lt;br /&gt;We have out-sourced an additional bassist in China who may indicate interest in joining our band. But of course, we still have vacancies for other instruments as well. Spread the word around.. un-band is the band to be in if you wanna chill, hang out and have a ball of a time.&lt;br /&gt;Tommorrow is founder's day, where all those from the AllCanSwim family gather and celebrate the founding of our gr8 sch00l.&lt;br /&gt;The band members are considering opening an email account to keep up with the times and to facilitate with the huge orders of interested fans =) So stick around for updates ^^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EDIT: &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;WE got an email! woohoo ok all you fans out there fret not... un-band is LIVE ON THE NET w00t.

Anyway any song requests or anything? Just throw out song names that are playable. I openly state that I do not have double bass skills whatsoever, despite my feeble attempts. Sadly, we may be parted from Gaby who has gone to further her studies in a monastery near Balestier but we shall still meet occasionally and have fun. One of these days we should just book a studio and like just whoever wants to come and mess around just come. So that we can maybe find hidden talent?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK i just read how super cool the yamaha clearance sale was...but anyway I'd have to queue up real long and all so oh well.

Their music paraphrases punk, glam, 80s heavy metal, and 1970s rock and roll, with notably disencumbered song structures characterized by a lyrical content mainly organized around "partying", "rocking" and related matters. The band is often associated in print with now ubiquitous misspellings such as "rawk" and "stoopid", as attempts are made to denote a perceived ironic, tongue-in-cheek foundation for the group's otherwise inexplicable attitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cited as a musical inspiration by numerous rock bands of more recent origins, in the course of a career spanning three decades, The Unband came to be regarded for gleefully self-destructive escapades and an unexclusive lack of subtlety as much as for its musical output.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ &lt;-- awavylinetocompartmentalizetextyay!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;zomg. i think like perhaps this is another unband? which is like really bad news guys cos there cant be two unbands. there are laws against it i think. i read it in a book. and like crap, i really thought the article was referring to us until i read this line:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;"their casually unapologetic stage show owed to &lt;strong&gt;alcohol&lt;/strong&gt;, sacks of &lt;strong&gt;"prop" drugs&lt;/strong&gt;, frontal &lt;strong&gt;nudity&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;LSD-fueled odessey&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;drinking feats, projectile vomiting&lt;/strong&gt; and other &lt;strong&gt;depraved improvisations&lt;/strong&gt;, as well as a tendency toward &lt;strong&gt;formal evening-wear&lt;/strong&gt;."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;because i really really do not like formal evening wear :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;do you boys know how uncomfortable it is wearing a corset???&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;anyways, like i think we should change our name or something. what about "un dash band"? then when we have our own roa-&lt;strong&gt;dies, &lt;/strong&gt;we can call them&lt;strong&gt; our undies&lt;/strong&gt; haha lol im so random. okthatsitforme bye!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Today's post was brought to you by the G7 Chord!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NOQ2GSUd-ME/R7gmnEt5hzI/AAAAAAAAAI0/G5zgswgqxD4/s1600-h/chord_g7_open.gif"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NOQ2GSUd-ME/R7gmnEt5hzI/AAAAAAAAAI0/G5zgswgqxD4/s320/chord_g7_open.gif" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167923025130653490" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;I contort your fingers to madness ^^&lt;/i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7855978059648002546-7585480132163354983?l=un-band.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://un-band.blogspot.com/feeds/7585480132163354983/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7855978059648002546&amp;postID=7585480132163354983' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7855978059648002546/posts/default/7585480132163354983'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7855978059648002546/posts/default/7585480132163354983'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://un-band.blogspot.com/2008/02/secondpostsiaz.html' title='secondpostsiaz'/><author><name>Gabriel</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11354836075565764364</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NOQ2GSUd-ME/R7gmnEt5hzI/AAAAAAAAAI0/G5zgswgqxD4/s72-c/chord_g7_open.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855978059648002546.post-662301701443734266</id><published>2008-02-16T20:55:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2008-02-16T21:17:20.290+08:00</updated><title type='text'>the freshmaker and the loner</title><content type='html'>Well thank you to the people who have been making un-band ever so popular by promoting it in your msn nick names, and telling all your friends about us. So I hear that m3nt0s is keen on joining the ever so cool un-band. Well we'll have to see how pro you are m3nT0s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the more musical note, today I'd like to introduce one of my favorite songs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Solitary Shell by Dream Theater&lt;br /&gt;Album: Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence&lt;br /&gt;Genre: Progressive (rock)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 0px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-08419361996285352 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/mKsvTTOTXDA&amp;amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a style="left: 0px ! important; top: 15px ! important;" title="Click here to block this object with Adblock Plus" class="abp-objtab-08419361996285352 visible ontop" href="http://www.youtube.com/v/mKsvTTOTXDA&amp;amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;object height="300" width="380"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mKsvTTOTXDA&amp;amp;rel=1"&gt;&lt;param name="wmode" value="transparent"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/mKsvTTOTXDA&amp;amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This live version is slightly different from the studio recording but nice nonetheless. Alright, as much as I love the technicality of dream theater, I sometimes find the songs get a little trancey as they drag on. This song to me, is a huge, much needed refreshment from their usual sound. It's just nice and light and oooo the instrumentals are wonderful, not to mention Portnoy's awesome clothes in the above video. If I'm not wrong the verse is in 7/8, but as usual the time signatures change throughout the song so it goes to 4/4 and all. The part that I'm completely clueless about (or haven't bothered looking up or really counting) is the instrumental where the drums syncopate with the keys. That starts at about 3:39 and also 5:20.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7855978059648002546-662301701443734266?l=un-band.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://un-band.blogspot.com/feeds/662301701443734266/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7855978059648002546&amp;postID=662301701443734266' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7855978059648002546/posts/default/662301701443734266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7855978059648002546/posts/default/662301701443734266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://un-band.blogspot.com/2008/02/freshmaker-and-loner.html' title='the freshmaker and the loner'/><author><name>mac</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18148232311176456522</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855978059648002546.post-4114105295387766302</id><published>2008-02-14T21:25:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2008-02-14T21:31:02.275+08:00</updated><title type='text'>The Abduction of Rift Raft</title><content type='html'>un-band welcomes future bassist, rift raft rob!

The first few times I heard &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;This Love&lt;/span&gt;, the stuff that stuck most in my head were the bass line and the rather humorous but nice sounding harmonizing vocals in the ending choruses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, for now I shall simply comment on what this song means to me, and I don't mean lyrically. I feel, that this song can be played in practically any style; from rock to jazz to afro-cuban. It just has so much room to operate with, and a very strong groove going from the bass line and guitar. It's really an awesome song for beginners to play, and get those creative juices flowing. What I like to do is add even more bass drum notes but accent the proper ones, and just take note of certain parts of the song where the original drum groove/fill is very suitable for transition etc. An example of this is from the bridge back to the chorus (Cos I know that's what you want me to do) - on the "to do" its just a 3 note phrase; 4 and  e on the snare and a on the tom. So go around doing crazy fills throughout the bridge then just like have a whole note on want or something then do the fill for "to do" heheh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any questions bout the song feel free to ask MStick by a) commenting b) asking Gaby to ask MStick by commenting c) email at surfzrup@gmail.com for now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a rush, hope this was ... at least a bit entertaining and somewhat educational.
