drum rug

It doesn't end in just buying a drum set. There are other stuff you need to consider buying as well. My friend who just recently bought one is now looking at those excellent meinl drumrug at guitar center. He has been reading reviews on drum rugs and he's read a couple of good ones on this one. They say that it's of good quality and just about the right size for a drum set. How about you, what drum rug do you use?

TC Helicon

Do you buy TC Helicon products? What have you tried out? They have pitch correctors, vocal harmonizers, etc. For sure these equipments are very helpful for those who are into music recording. My friend who's putting up his own home recording studio is considering on investing in these kinds of equipment. What would you suggest that he prioritizes in buying? It would be a great help reading more inputs about these kinds of things so that his money won't be wasted.

tascam dr-40

Are you in the recording business? My friend is just starting his recording business. He certainly would appreciate any tips on equipment to invest on. He recently purchased an exceptional tascam dr-40. He still has a couple of other recording equipment that he needs to purchase that's why he has been doing his research over the internet so that he can make sure that each investment is worth it. He will be making use of hard earned money so he has to be wise with each purchase. I wish him the best that his new business will prosper.

sterling audio st69

I'm looking at condenser microphones. Maybe it's time to invest in a sterling audio st69, what do you think? I have read a lot of reviews comparing this to other microphones they have tested and so far they like this compared to others. They say it has better sound quality than others. I guess it would be better if I try it out and test it myself so I can hear how good it really sounds before I finally decide to purchase it. It's great that it comes with its own power supply, cable, and case.

amp

Have you tried using the amplifi? They say it's the amplifier reinvented. It is a high performance amp, bluetooth stereo speaker system, and has ios application control and cloud connection. I really find it cool that you can access bluetooth streaming audio which works with Android, iOS, Mac, and PC. It's easy to wirelessly control every detail of your guitar rig and you can automatically match tone. You can instantly jam with your music library. My friend recommends getting one.

ev microphones

My friend is also considering getting those great electro-voice microphones at musicians friend for his recording business. It's really essential to get quality equipment for his business so that he can make sure that his recordings are of good quality. These equipment don't come cheap so he has to make sure that each purchase is well thought of. It's just really great that there are a lot of reviews online to guide him with each purchase. But of course he prefers to still try them out in actual before he purchases them.

cymbals

My friend is thinking of upgrading his cymbals. He has been researching over the net which one he could buy. He has read several reviews on the exceptional paiste alpha rock china and is starting to like it as well. He's trying to look for an actual one so he can try it himself if he likes the sound before he finally decides to buy it. Do you have any recommendations on what cymbals to get? Have you tried the paiste alpha rock china yourself? He would certainly appreciate personal feedback

zt amp

My friend is looking for a new amp since the one he has conked out on him. He was pretty disappointed since he has only been using it for over a year. He's looking at the zt amp as one of his options. Have you tried it out? Do you have other good amps that you can recommend, one that you have used already and can vouch for its performance? There's a lot of brands and models to choose from so I can understand my friend's dilemma. I hope he gets to choose the right one for him, one which is of good quality and fits his budget.

American Standard Jazz Bass Fretless

Have you tried playing the classic fender american standard jazz bass fretless? My friend loves it so much. He loves the design and playability of it as compared to the other brands that he has tried out. I think he's saving up for one already. He's hoping he could buy one as a birthday gift to himself. He feels it's value for money and doesn't mind investing on it.

Thursday, June 19, 2014

pioneer mixers

What can you say about pioneer mixers? My friend is also venturing into sound systems and is considering in investing in pioneer mixers. There's a lot of models to choose from so he's taking his time in doing his research so that he can make sure that he would be investing in the right one. He's aiming at buying the Pioneer DJM-5000 - Professional Standard Mobile DJ Mixer but is still open for other suggestions. I'm excited for him with this new venture. I wish him well. I hope this new business of him becomes a success and that he gets to profit soon, considering the amount he has invested already in his equipment.

keyboard

I remember having choir practices back in college for our organization. It has often been a challenge finding who has a keyboard which we can use to learn the contest piece. Maybe it would be nice if the organization has its own keyboard. Now that we're alumni already, maybe it's time to give back and probably raise funds to donate a keyboard to them. I saw a cool yamaha portable keyboard at Musicians Friend. That would be sufficient enough for choir practices. Maybe I can contact other fellow alumni and make this our project. It would be a big help to the organization

avid

Have you tried using the Avid keystudio keyboard? My cousin is considering buying one since he has read reviews which rave with its velocity-sensitive and wide range feature. He's looking for an actual one which he can try out before buying. He loves making music and is on the look out for a nice tool to aid him in his new found hobby. He really has an ear for good music. He can spend hours and hours making music. I'm sure he would have fun exploring the numerous effects he can make with this new toy. I look forward to hearing his latest creations.

amps

I remember when we were forming a band for our organization back in college, we would always have a hard time finding an amp. It's great that we have generous org mates who let us borrow theirs. Now that we have graduated already, maybe it would be nice to donate one of those hiwatt amps to the organization so that they would not have the same problems that we had in borrowing amps.

audio gear

Are you looking for a pro audio recording gear? Maybe you may want to check out apogee quartet. There are lots of models to choose from and if you are very particular with the specifications it would be nice to try out the units and see which one would fit your needs. I know some friends who are very musically inclined and very passionate with how they handle their music. They really invest in gears like this to make sure that they have good quality of music.

drums

I have always been amused with the drums. It plays a big role in the overall musicality of a song. The beat really has a lot of influence to a song. I have always been curious on playing the drums. I'm looking at some tama drums and thinking of getting a set. Oh if only we have a big place and soundproof walls! I think it would be such a great stress reliever beating those drums! Maybe I can start taking drums lessons soon.

pedals

Do you know where to get Boss Pedals for a cheap price? My friend is looking for one. He is very particular with the brand since it's his trusted brand. I know he's looking for this for quite some time already but couldn't quite decide yet what model to buy. I guess musician can really be very particular with the accessories that they use. You can't blame them for being so passionate with their craft. I'm looking forward to hearing their band play again.

music

We're double checking everything for the upcoming wedding. We have to make sure the every detail is taken cared of. One of the essential elements is the music for the reception. We're checking in with the band to make sure they have the correct playlist and that their instruments and Hiwatt amplifiers are all ready. I'm sure they are going to make amazing music on the day. I hope everything goes according to plan

traumeel

I think there's something wrong with my brother's dog's leg. It's a bit inflamed and sometimes the dog would wince in pain. Maybe my brother should get traumeel tablets here in order to alleviate the pain and soothe the inflammation. Poor dog! It would be great if he would be taken to the vet and get a recommendation on how to treat his condition. I hope it's nothing serious and that he would get well soon. We love our dogs so much. We treat them like family!

headphones

I'm looking for a nice head phones. I love watching downloaded series during my free time. I make sure to keep myself updated so as not to miss any new episode. I saw a sennheiser hd201 on sale and is very much tempted to order one. Do you have other suggestions on other models that I can consider buying? It would be good if it's cheaper but have a good sound quality. I hope I can buy one soon since the one I'm using is starting to conk out on me.

digital musician

You can easily tell if someone if ready for the big time by the tools a person uses for his or her trade. If you're a professional digital musician, you need to seriously consider getting a state of the art music controller. Your DJ experience using a computer is taken to a different level. You can check out pioneer ddj sx here if you're looking for one. They also have others you can choose from which would suit your requirements.

instruments

What kind of instrument do you know how to play? I can play the guitar and piano and recorder. I'm not saying that I'm good at playing them. Haha! I wish I can learn more instruments like the violin and the flute. It would be nice to learn to play a lot of instruments. It's really relaxing playing instruments. It takes away the stress and just enjoy the music that you play. Maybe Dagny can take some lessons when she grows up. It's up to her which instrument she wants to pursue to play.

guitar

I remember back in college when I was part of our org's band. We would usually perform at events. Sometimes I would play the rhythm sometimes the bass. It was nice to play my orgmate's squier electric bass. I miss playing in a band and jamming with my friends. I hope we can get together and play together. I better brush up on playing the guitar. I'm sure it would be fun to play again. I better tune my guitar again and get some new piece to practice on.

guitar strap

I think the key in finding a nice gift for someone is thinking about what his likes are and what things are related to that. Like if you have a friend who loves to play the guitar, you might want to check out the guitar strap at musicians friend or something related to playing the guitar. I'm sure your friend would appreciate the thought you gave into buying his gift. And for sure he would enjoy using it and would remind you of him whenever he does.

Are you looking for monster cable to connect your audio and video components? You can easily buy these online. They also offer several accessories besides cables, like headphones, speakers, and remotes. Just search online and you can easily see what you're looking for. They certainly have good quality products that you may want to try out, especially if you are very particular with your gears.

sounds

We're looking for a supplier for sound systems with exceptional mackie mixers for my friend's wedding. We want to have a good sound system supplier who can provide quality music since that would be a very important element in their wedding reception. They have prepared a playlist already so they just need a supplier to play it for them. A good mixer and quality speakers are highly needed. Hopefully their wedding reception would be just like they want it to be.

Wednesday, March 12, 2014

guitar

I'm looking at some g&l guitars online. Maybe I can get myself a guitar again. I can't remember when the last time I was able to play the guitar. Maybe it's time to go back and learn how to play the guitar better. I wonder what guitar I can get. Hopefully I would be able to learn new songs again. Playing the guitar can be therapeutic and relaxing.

baby gifts

Babies are God's blessings! I'll be organizing another friend's baby shower! The husband wants it as a surprise to his wife and I'll be one of the accomplice. We'll just be coordinating with her friends that's it's going to be a surprise. Hopefully nobody would slip her tongue and give away the surprise! We'll bringing in gifts which I'm sure would be very useful for baby care! I've found a store which serves personalized baby gifts. This makes the gift giving extra special. I hope we manage to pull this through. Good thing everybody is into the idea and we'll all just help each other out with the logistics, such as where to hold the event, what food to prepare, what games to play, etc. We want her to enjoy this special day and welcome her into motherhood!

golfing

I remember my past boss and his passion for golf. His eyes really lights up when golf is the topic. You really can tell how much he is into the sports. He would usually tell stories about some of his games or some anecdotes from Tiger Woods. The other bosses says that whenever he plays golf, he would really be so into it that he would be wearing those matching golf clothes and shoes. I don’t know if it is to attract those in golf apparel ladies or he just really wants to be in his moment and have that golfing aura.

cell

My hubby's cell has conked out on him already. The LCD is busted and you can't see anything from the screen. You can only hear when there is an incoming text but you wouldn't be able to read it. Anyway, he's had it for several years already and has served him well. I guess it was just really a matter of time before it gets replaced. He initially bought a temporary phone since he's waiting for their company phone. He still doesn't know what model he'll get. His company is taking advantage of those mobile phone deals. Well, my hubby isn't really picky when it comes to phones. As long as it can be used for texting and calling, it's already good to go.

tattoos

A lot find tattoos unappealing since they look at little dirty on your body. But there are those who are just so into it and finds it sexy. Others are repelled by those who are into it and prefer those who are clean looking and without tattoos and piercing. But I know some who prefer the bad boy look who usually have rugged outfit with matching tattoos. These tattoo personals indeed have character and not afraid to flaunt it. I guess we just really have to accept each and everyone’s uniqueness. I remember watching one of the Ripley’s episodes which featured one who has his body covered with tattoo. You really got to admire him for all the pain that he had to endure before that body art was finished.

drop shipping

There are really a lot of opportunities on how you can make money online. You can do traditional business by selling products or services online. Some go into paid blogging. Well, you can also actually make money on ebay drop shipping. Doba is one of those drop shipping companies who can provide you 1,000,000+ name brand products at wholesale prices. Visit their site to know more about them and read their Top Drop Shipping Review. It’s easy to use and navigate. You can even compare the styles and prices across brands which really helps customers find a great deal in their purchases. It is an eBay certified service provider and they ship directly to your customers.

biking

One of my hubby's favorite sports is biking. Well, he doesn't bike anymore as much as he used to during his teens, especially with his hectic schedule lately. He'd rather just sleep and rest during his free time rather than bike around. Although lately he's considering going back into the sports since he lacks physical activity and wants to shed some pounds himself. He actually bought a new mountain bike last month but looks like he has no enough will yet to have a regular biking routine. Anyway, I'm just really amazed at some who are really into the sport and makes it a point to go biking regularly. Sometimes you just got to admire those biker personals like Lance Armstrong.

money issues

Need extra money? I think we all do. Even the rich would love to get hold of more money. Are we now more living in a material world? Probably. Lucky are those who have enough, but unfortunate for those who can’t even seem to stretch their pay checks to pay the bills and feed three times a day. What more if an emergency strikes and someone gets sick or gets into an accident? They can’t even live their normal lives comfortably with the money that their making, how can they even cope up with this circumstances when they need even more money? Good thing if you can get a cash advance. This is one of the usual options taken in order to get hold of that emergency cash. It’s great that there are opportunities like these. It somehow gives you hope that you can survive certain emergency crisis. But then again, you’re still in debt and you still have to pay for it. Well, I think you’d prefer being in debt rather than losing a loved one who’s sick in the hospital, right?

helmet

My cousin's birthday is coming up. I wonder what gift I would be giving to him. I was thinking that since he is into riding motorcycles it would be nice to get him one of those hjc helmets. Me and my family are always worried whenever he rides his motorcycle specially with all the accident news being reported involving motorcycles. At the very least I hope that he always wears a helmet and that he rides very carefully unlike other obnoxious motorcycle drivers who ride like they're the king of the road.

Sunday, February 2, 2014

nice places

There are a lot of nice places all over the world. My sweetie and I enjoy imagining the different places tat would be nice to visit. If only we have the money, we would certainly travel the world and visit those nice places. There are places which are not so popular yet very much worthy to be visited. A European trip would certainly be awesome for sure! I hope we travel again soon! We have a new travel buddy, our baby!

band saw

I'm looking for band saws for sale for my dad. I know he has been wanting to have one for ages. He's good at wood work and all those craftsmanship. He has made our dining table and sofa at our vacation house in our province. I know he can do lots more if he gets his hand on a band saw. Maybe it would be an awesome gift for him on his 65th birthday. We still got time to save up for it. I just hope we get a good deal so it's worth every penny. I hope he likes it!

getting old

When one gets old I think companionship really matters. You’ve probably lived your life, hopefully, to the fullest and somehow just taking it easy and just enjoying what’s left of it. Others may have a hard time understanding you and somehow you just feel that you want somebody who can relate to you. It would be great if you still have a partner you can share the joys of life with. I guess more than the physical thing, one would probably look for someone you could talk to and share ideas with when you get older. This may not be easy for some. Lucky for those who have that kind of partner.

gift baskets

Don’t you just love receiving gifts? I’m actually looking forward to getting our gift baskets for the chinese new year? Getting this kind of basket is usually extra special for those working in companies with consumable products. Gift baskets are really cool especially seeing all the assorted goodies inside. I have mixed emotions with getting consumable gifts, it would be nice to have gifts which you can have for a longer period of time. But if it’s really some yummy food, I think I wouldn’t mind! Gifts are still gifts which one should be thankful for, regardless of what’s inside. As what they always say, it’s the thought that counts, right?

Music

Just the other day, I was with a friend and she asked me if I was familiar with this certain song. I didn’t have any idea what it was. Then it dawned on me that I haven’t listened to the radio for the longest time. I don’t even watch MTV anymore. I guess the only time I get to listen to music is when I’m riding in a taxi and the radio is on. I haven’t listened to any of my mp3s for the longest time as well. And I asked myself why and I just didn’t have any answer. Too lazy to even open my media player? I dunno.

insurance

Have you thought about your future? Have you considered getting an insurance? Have you tried getting your life insurance quotes? Times like these, you have to be responsible enough to be prepared for what the future can bring. I think my parents got for us already but I’m thinking of getting another one. I hope I get a nice all in one insurance wherein I’ll be able to optimize their benefits.

Saturday, January 25, 2014

giveaways

My friend just started a small company and is asking for advice of what promotional products she can come up with. Well, there are really a lot of options to choose from. Usually companies pick objects that one usually uses regularly and put their logo and/or company name on it. That’s what they usually give away. Since people use it often, they would always be reminded of that particular company.

canada drug store

My friend works in one of the canadian drug stores. She says that there really are a lot of medicine which are cheaper in canada as compared to the united states. It's great that there are a lot of online pharmacies already which efficiently delivers the medicines to your home with no hassle. This is essentially very important especially when you are so sick and don't have the energy to go our or have someone to buy for you. There are a lot of service friendly agents to aid you in your orders. That's really awesome, isn't it?

dog collar

Have you tried using an innotek bark collar? We're looking for some reviews online so we could determine how good they are and if they are worth buying. I know it can be quite annoying when a dog barks too often, especially when you are sleeping. Incessant barking can annoy neighbors too! I guess bark collars are a great invention, if used in the right way. I wonder really how effective they are. I would appreciate your feedback on this product.

Wednesday, January 22, 2014

a good run

I would really love to join a marathon, not necessarily a full but probably a 3K run for starters. I was supposed to join one but I found out a day before that I was pregnant! Anyway, I still went with my hubby who ran a 10K but I just stood by the sideline to take his pictures. There were a lot of people and a lot of sponsors who were giving away customized products. Anyway, I hope I can go for a quick run soon. It would be nice to go jogging with my daughter when she grows up.

pumps

Dad has been building a vacation house in our province in batangas. He's been doing it little by little and doing lots of DIY stuff. The place is already liveable but there's still quite a few stuff that he wants to fix and add up. He's looking at WeGotPumps.com water pump so he could have one installed there as well. It's nice to have a vacation place that you could rest at during weekends. Maybe we could plant some fruit bearing trees as well as other herbs there which would be nice to harvest once in awhile.

Monday, January 20, 2014

long holiday

It’s starting to become colder during nights already. It would be nice to snuggle up to an electric blanket to keep you warm. It’s a bit hard to get up on mornings and would love to get that extra snooze. I just love the Christmas holidays. It’s a good thing that everybody would have a long Christmas vacation. I’m sure a lot of people are happy with the declared long duration of the non working holidays.

Wednesday, January 15, 2014

headphones

My headphones got busted again. It's time to get a replacement so that I can watch my downloaded movies through my tablet without disturbing my husband sleeping beside me. Maybe I'll get shure headphones. This time I would not look for the cheapest one, but look for good quality headphones which would sounds good and would last for a long time. I have tried a lot of cheap headphones and they rarely last long.

Sunday, January 12, 2014

popped the question

I'm so happy that my friend finally popped the question to her girl friend! Their relationship might not be that long yet, probably just a year, but I've seen them so happy together. They are so compatible! I'm so happy for them. I wish them the best! They're planning their wedding already and I'm sure it would be an awesome one! Cheers to love!

guitar

I'm looking at eMedia Guitars at Musicians friend. They have starter packs for kids which I'm thinking of giving to a friend's son who's into music and playing the guitar lately. He has been urging his mom to get him his own guitar already. It would really be great to be supportive so he can hone his talents further more. Maybe he would be a great guitarist someday.

Sunday, January 5, 2014

handy man

It's amazing how much tools my dad has accumulated over the years. He was able to build most of our furniture in our province using his tools. Lately he has been looking for these. I guess he was able to use up all his stock already. He still needs some for his other home projects. He really is a handy man. He certainly has saved lots of money by making home projects by himself instead of buying from the store and having other people do it.

Thursday, January 2, 2014

musician

Maybe if I pursued playing the piano and guitar I would probably be part of a band playing professionally right now. That's one of my wild dreams. That would have been awesome to be part of a playing band. I would probably be browsing for yamaha mg32 14fx right now and looking for other music related stuff to improve our craft. I do miss playing the piano and the guitar.
