| Comments: | New Rolling Stone has Merch Article about bands not making
money off cd's or even ticket sales(after venue & managers take their cuts). Depending on popularity of the band the possibility on the high end is $15,000. in sales at a 2,000 seat sold out concert theatre. There's something to think about. Hope that cube van is nicely decorated- Get a camcorder & make a video for America's Funniest Video's -could win $10,000.! That's better than a contract with Bardic Records where you win $0. Peace! |

Patiently waiting for the fans to post some reviews of this past weekend-so far they haven't recovered. I found a website snity.com.au in Australia that is selling BNS t-shirts with the pig on front for $36.50 each-How's that for merchandising??? These folks know how to make extra $$$$. Keep up the great work on the road. Great things will happen because you guys are taking your careers into your own hands. You will realize great things and find potential future bookings because of the 2004 F B'k Tour. Love to the entire band! |

| Comments: | This post is for those who missed it at Brand New Sin's
Website which is CENSORED!!!! A little background will let you understand my original post was in light of the fact that this band has been without money to pay their bills for 1 1/2 years or longer for some band members while they tour and work on new material for their next cd. I was so excited just being able to hear a sample of their fine demo that they submitted to their label that I posted the following on their website. I have been writing for probably longer than most of you have been alive and I am a true supporter of Brand New Sin. Their music is from the heart, it is heavy,it's got great southern rock, metal,blues, soul and rock influences. They are great performers,dedicated musicians and they don't sing pop, cutesy music!!!! True fans know this. They were also extras in the highly successful movie "School of Rock" which we are all glad they earned some money from Paramount studios for being on that production. Now...if you have any sense you will understand my post is not bashing anyone but taking a past accomplishment and relating it to a current work ethic that is producing some great lyrics and incredible music.....this post is an analogy....it compares how a student achieves good grades in school to how BNS has created a new cd for their fans...... Title: The Agony of Waiting I realize that many of us are agonizing over the sophomore release of a BNS cd(If you check Bardirecords website you'll see upcoming releases are nice, sweet,soft,mellow,radio friendly pop which ain't what we at this forum are looking for!!). How about some in your face,loud, wailing guitars with all that '80's metal, southern rock influence plus more(almost forgot the great drumming!) that kicks ass??? Yes, that's whst these fans crave!!!! Now, that I've got you saying "YEAH!! THAT'S RIGHT!!!!" let's look at the process.. The next time these guys take the stage you are gonna see "School of Rock" graduating to "College of Rock"-these guys are studying their craft, they are doing their homework,they are completing extra credit projects. They are not just handing in basic book reports-BNS is rewriting the whole damn book-boldly handing it back and saying "Now here's your lame ass book rewritten and better than when we got it!!" This transition is taking time but the process is so worth it. BNS will NEVER(originally I wrote not -it's NEVER) let their fans down. They are working hard because you the fans will be grading the final exams and they expect straight A's. It will never matter what the music critics,newspapers or magazines say since they know what you want to hear. Lastly,many of you may belong to cd clubs and have seen the following 'Sales Restriction': 'This cd is not discounted or offered as a free selection at this time do to the large demand' -I want that restriction next to the new BNS cd when it is released!!!(and Worldwide ditribution for our international fans on the BNS forum.)...Peace. That was the post....if you want to bash me...Mr Dean said you're free to speak here.... |

http://brandnewsin.com/shows_frameset.htm What have I learned? ......I don't practice enough! *It seems that the more you know, the more you need to know. *There is always someone better. You can quit or you can practice and try to keep up. *KEEP GOOD TIME! Good timing (feel/groove) is more important than good fills! *Have fun at the drum set; the crowd feeds off that energy and it reciprocates back to you (adrenaline rules). *The most important thing I've learned is regardless of your skill level you should get out there and PLAY! Don't sit idle and don't talk yourself out of performing live. Get off your ass and hit those drums! Now do yourself a favor and go to my drum links page and learn! I suggest Drum Bum, Drum Dogs, Modern Drummer, and Drum Forum. (http://www.geocities.com/imjammindude/links.html) Revised quote for musicians: "Practice makes perfect...only if you pracrtice perfectly." What does that mean? If it doesn't groove in time you are playing it too fast! Get it right before you work on speed. Practice relaxed enough to keep any beat or exercise continuously for a long period of time without making mistakes and without pain or muscle fatigue. I'm done now. PLAY THE DRUMS EVERY DAY! NO EXCUSES! Also, request Brand New Sin on the radio! Mr. Dean |

| Comments: | Yo, What's up? Hey, I'm looking for someone good to play with. I don't have alot of time, but I'm damn good at dividing it, filling it, and keeping it. My family is my #1 priority and anybody I play with will have to respect that. I need at least $55000.00 per year to devote more than a couple hours a week to any band. I've been serious about playing the drums for the past 23 years. I spent 8 hours a day, 7 days a week, in sickness and in health, doing what it took to become a professional. I have a family now. I have to support them. I don't believe in following social trends. I prefer to set them. Letting the state or some other man support or bring up my family is not an option for me. I'm a creative and outstanding musician. I'm not looking for wishy washy people to play with. I'm drug and alcohol free.I'm looking for talented, creative and patient musicians with standards no less than mine. I can learn anything easily. A tape is sufficient for audition material. I don't have an easy schedule to work around but can find the time when nessesary. My future goal is to do what I love and be around the people I love and be able to support them at the same time. I know this is a tall order, but if you don't think big, you won't become big. What good is it all if you can't share it? If you know anyone;e-mail me. God Bless You.-Bill P.S. I want to do stuff that's is real heavy with lots of groove. I'm open to suggestions though.-Later |

| Comments: | Hey there,
First, I'd like to voice my appreciation to Kevin for putting together this site, it's cool to have a website for CNY drummers... Secondly... I used to drum in a Syracuse band called Blind Adonis... Now, I'm singing in a new project with one of my B.A. boys and some others... we're looking for a drummer... so I thought I'd go right to the source... If you're an experienced drummer looking to join a pro- attitude rock band, drop me a line at jdnelson@syr.edu. We plan on gigging all over central new york and beyond... If you're looking to rock, we'd love to hear from you... peace, jeff |

| Comments: | It's funny because I personally play with alot less desire to show off these days. I just want the song to make sense and to play with great feel.
However, when I see a drummer tearing it up and blazing a trail of fire being the kit it adrenalizes me and I feel like I need to practice and work out some badass fills. Then I just go back to my simplicity and just groove anyway. So, even though I'm layed back as a drummer, I still love it when a drummer scares me (Carter Beauford, Dave Weckl, Terry Bozzio, you know the rest...) |

| Comments: | Hey man!This is a great site!Ya'll know me as the front man and guitarist for"Thunderosa",but my main gig is drums.I won't go into who I've played with cuz we'd be hear for days.Just want to say that as a drummer i find that "less is more".Staying in the pocket and relinqushing the wanking to the guitarists.It's up to you to carry the band.Setting up the changes.Letting the dynamics be controlled by you.You can be out front without being out front.Bun E.Carlos,Phil Rudd,Jon Bonham.These are guys that are the pure rock and roll drummers.I mean there's more,but obvious reasons,these guys are it.If you like the Rev.Horton Heat,check out the first three albums featuring Taz Bentley on drums.He is an animal.As far as my drum gig,I've got something going on with Mellisa who used to play bass in the Pale green stars.We got a hella guitar player and it promises to ROCK.Thanx again for a great site!
