    I heard some folks in my little, podunk town talking about a high school
    teacher that was supposedly once the drummer for Rush. Now, I know that Neil
    Peart was the big drummer man for a while, but I'm not as knowledgable about
    my Rush history as I am about my DT. Anyone happen to know if there could be
    any truth to this? All I know is that the kids call him Mr. Sanders. Ring
    any bells?

    The original drummer for Rush was named John Rutsey. Don't think there were
    any drummers before him. Hey, there's always the Witness Protection
    Program, right? :)

    Message-ID: <Pine.BSF.4.10.10001241535520.49824-100000@oz.plymouth.edu>

    Several of you have expressed interest in helping me out with my little
    ACoS project. Here is information on how you can record a MIDI file into
    a wav, encode it, and get it to me.

    First of all, you have to be able to record it. Anybody with a Sound
    Blaster Live, and perhaps some other models of SB, should have a utility
    called Creative Wave Editor or something like that, that came with your
    sound card's software. If you don't have it installed on your system,
    check the CD that came with your sound card.

    If you don't already have a decent sound recorder, you can find them on
    download.com, or you can check out www.waveflow.com (it's a shareware wave
    recorder/editor that I came across). The interface for it is kinda
    cheesy, but it'll record, and that's the important thing.

    (All these recording instructions are assuming that you're using WaveFlow,
    but any wave editor will have similar settings.) I suggest that in order
    to save recording space, you record at the following settings: a
    frequencey of 22050, in stereo, at 16 bit. All you have to do is click
    the record button (the red circle), tell the computer where you want to
    save it, and then click record. Then open the MIDI file and start it
    playing (it would be smart to already have the MIDI file open by
    double-clicking it, then just click stop - this will leave the window open
    for easy access so all you have to do is click the play button). When
    it's done playing, click the Stop button in WaveFlow, and it will open the
    wave file that it's recorded. Select the silence at the beginning and go
    to the Edit menu, then choose delete. Do the same for the silence at the
    end of the file. Save the file and you're done!

    Now, the second part: Encoding it into an MP3. Here's where it gets
    tricky. You have to find an MP3 encoder if you don't already have one.
    If you don't have one, a nice, free, small program you can download is
    Rightclick-MP3. You can download it from my server at
    http://cout.dhs.org/rightclick.exe - it's nice and compact. All you have
    to do once you've installed it is right-click the wav file you made and
    choose encode. It's pretty easy.

    Third step: Uploading. To upload this MP3 file to my server, open an FTP
    client and type in cout.dhs.org in the hostname. For username, use
    ytsejam, and for password, use your email address. If you don't have an
    FTP client, you can download one at www.cuteftp.com. You can just upload
    your file to the directory that it logs you into.

    If you don't want to bother downloading an FTP client, you can use your
    web browser, though it's a little more difficult that way: You have to
    type in the following into your web browser's address bar:

    ytsejam@cout.dhs.org/d/server/acos/">ftp://ytsejam@cout.dhs.org/d/server/acos/

    Then go to the File menu and choose Upload if using Netscape Navigator, or
    drag-and-drop your MP3 file if you're using Internet Explorer.

    That should be everything that you need to do this project. Thanks a lot,
    and if you have any questions or need more explanation on any of the
    steps, let me know.

    Whoops, looks like a spoke too soon. It looks like Internet Explorer
    doesn't let you upload files unless you have special settings set. Rather
    than try and figure them out, I'll just give you a different method, the
    text-based one.

    Go to Start->Run, and type in the following: "ftp cout.dhs.org". Then
    when it asks you for a username, type in 'ytsejam' and when it asks for a
    password, type in your email address. Then type in the following: "put
    <name of file>", where the <name of file> is the location and filename of
    the mp3 you saved. For example, if you saved it as c:\acos-andrew.mp3 (I
    don't suggest you just name it "acos.mp3" because that would pose some
    problems - save it as "acos-<your name>.mp3" so that we don't run into any
    files with the same name), then you would type "put c:\acos-andrew.mp3"
    and it will try and upload the file. When it's done, just type 'bye' and
    it will automatically quit for you.

    If the location where you saved it has a space in the folder name, such as
    "My Documents", then you need to put quotes around the filename, such as
    this: put "c:\my documents\acos-andrew.mp3"

    If you have any problems, let me know.

    Oh shit. I just realized that I'd typed in the wrong information here.
    If you're using Netscape and you type in the address above, it won't work.
    So what you type is this:

    ytsejam@cout.dhs.org/">ftp://ytsejam@cout.dhs.org/ <- none of that /d/server... stuff.

    Haha! I knew I could count on you to bring that up...

    I would have to modify that "Snoop Dog" quote and say
    that the only thing that Snoop Dog and DT have in
    common is that they're about the best of their style.
    I wouldn't say that Snoop Dog is as groundbreaking as
    DT.

    But Snoop has a cadence when he raps that is more
    complex than other rappers. I don't know enough about
    rhythm to know if he is doing something extraordinary,
    but it sounds more complex to me. Maybe a drummer out
    there who is familiar with rap can add something to
    that topic...

    Doggystyle was also good in that it had so much melody
    for rap (liberaly stolen from old-school funk/r&b).

    Good thing 'early rush' includes more than the first one :)

    In any event, I love 'em both and give credit where credit is due. Neil
    was good but I don't think he could/can make his foot go as spastic as
    Bonham did on 'Good Times, Bad Times' when Plant is singing "I know what
    it means to be alone. I sure do wish I was at HOME." That's ONE foot
    there, no double drumming shiz. Bonham was on lethal doses of speed.

    Just so I don't start/continue a debate I guess I better qualify the
    piss out of the above. I'm not saying one is better than the other. I'm
    not implying that having a faster foot is more important than how you
    write a song :).... I'm simply making an observation about the level of
    his foot :)

    Nick:

    I agree.

    I'm in that group of people that really digs Harrison's contributions
    more than John or Paul. Tunes like "Here Comes The Sun" and "If I Needed
    Someone" are classic. There's so much in their basic riffs upon which
    many rocks bands built more complex stuff. Gotta start somewhere though,
    right? A lot of what they were about was the (counter)culture of the
    time (i.e. Taxman) as much as it was the songwriting and music.

    I kinda wish they had taken that sound they had on tunes like "Paperback
    Writer" (and of course the flipside* "Rain") and 'ran with it' more. At
    the end of 'Rain' where they're playing tapes backwards, kinda the
    pre-cursor to things we hear digitally now (hmmm?????? say on the intro
    to TDoE?). It's a shame they broke up so early on into the 70's because
    that was the formative years of prog and it would have been interesting
    to see where they might have gone.

    Dude, those are really amazing discs. Needless to say, Ice Age made a superb
    first disc. I'm sooo anxious to hear their second.

    And Pos, they're one of my most favourite, eventhou' I haven't even heard
    'Entropia', which is said to be even better than OHbtCL...Can't wait to get that
    one!

    I'm going to second the 'pro-electronic drums' motion. I've owned a Roland TD-7 Stage kit since June, and I'm immensely happy. For home recording, they're a gift. With all the multiple kits, and the flexibility, I can make the kit sound like some old 80's thrash metal kit, or a tight kit, a la Mike's kit during last years xmas concerts. I don't think I'd use them for gigging, but for us home recording buffs, they're the greatest.

    You also gotta consider, however, that Bohnam was sloppy as all hell. The guy had GREAT feel, and yes, an incredibly spastik foot, but he has one of the dirtiest drum sounds I've ever heard. Then again, that may have been what he was all about. I like Bohnma but.... man when I hear the drum part on "Rock & Roll" I cringe.. especially that horrible solo at the end, ugh. (on the other hand "Ramble On" kicks ass!!!)

    And an ungrateful bitch at that. There are two shows within driving distance of me, and I'm not going to either of them.

    Got that beat. My former-tennis coach claimed to be in Rush at one point. Some people claimed him to be on their first album (which I cannot verify since I don't listen to Rush). Anyway, the man's name is Rick McCown. Does that ring any bells for anybody? He's kinda old, so I figured he might be telling the truth or just might be a big fan. Anyway, my brother went over to his house to help him move out (or maybe move in) and claims to have seen a lot of Rush memorabilia. Again, does Rick McCown ring any bells for anyone?

    I can't wait until I'm in your shoes. :) To rival the merits of some fantastical drummer with the abilities of some "old, dead guy." Hehehe. Bonham sucked. *ducks*

    Just think... in about 30 more years, Zep will be dead. No one will remember them. They'll be a T-shirt in the RnR hall of fame. I'll be 54 years old preaching about the merits of some old, dead guy (Neil Peart) to some young punks who denounce me claiming that the A.I. Quake XXIII drumming generator can run loops around Neil. hehehehe. Of course you'll be incarcerated to some "living center" ranting at the peeling wallpaper while my CNA children are lighting your hair on fire and using you for "biological experimentation." Funny how the cycle goes on and on an on and... Makes you kind of scared to get old, doesn't it? :)

    Anyway, I heard that Ainsley Dunbar could disconnect his foot at the ankle and drum faster with one drum pedal than most other people with two. Kinda weird...

    > And arguably, no Beatles = no Zep, = no Rush. Facts, not opinions.),

    No God = No Adam and Eve = No you. hehehehe. That's about how ambiguous that debate goes. I won't proceed any farther. You catch my drift. :)
