  1. Ah, so you don't HAVE to book an appointment? That's not the way it comes across on their promo / website etc. But good to know... I'll defo pop down, I need a few bits
  2. Hi, I too like the idea of this shop, but on a few occasions I've wanted to come along and then though 'oh, I haven't booked an appointment'. I've then gone elsewhere and bought various bits of kit. Is it possible to 'just turn up'? If so, I'd suggest dropping (or relaxing) the 'book an appointment' approach, as I'm sure most musicians don't have the time or organisation to book in advance. Just 'dropping in' is a large portion of sales / success to any music shop. Promoting such a one-to-one service is, to some, a good idea, but I think for the majority of people it's a little daunting. Especially if you'r enot sure what you want, or you just want to browse. To my mind, the LAST person you should ever consult when buying music kit is the salesmen. Picking a guitar, or amp, for example, should be about trying as many as you can (in your price range) (this price is personal to you, the buyer) then you pick whichever pieces of kit sounds the best to YOUR ears. Too many people buy into logo’s on headstocks and cabinets etc. You should always try as many things as you can (afford) and one will jump out at you as being ‘right’, even if you’re a newbie / novice. It's a simple process: do a little research (i.e. the spec of the kit), then try and test various kit that you're considering, then buy whichever performs best to your tastes. Trust your ears. Not a stranger. Or have I lost the plot? When was the last time a salesman suggested you try a cheaper model? Or steered you toward an item they don't stock? Sorry to wander off topic here, but I'm just the kind of person who likes to nip down the guitar shop, pick up some bits, or even splash out on something big. I would feel less inclined to do that with a 'personal service' store. For experienced musicians, it can be a bit patronising.
  3. Hi, yeah, still looking. Doesn't seem to be many original bands out there looking for a drummer at present. And yeah, sure, I'll check out your link later. What's your current band line-up? How long you been together etc. etc.?
  4. you got a semi from a text-based forum? ha ha... if you went round town Sat night, you'd probably spill your seed
  5. this was just intended as a joke post, taking the Michael out of the MANY drummer adverts you normally see littering this forum and Partysounds etc. But (thankfully) no, no response
  6. DRUMMER seeks band. I HATE original music, covers only. 150 yrs experience as a top pro, played in EVERY club in the western world, played on many number 1 hit records, my drum kit costs £63 million, I own a tour van. Looking to waltz into an established working band without having to rehearse EVER, then gig 19 times a month, except weekends. Bad sense of humour, hate laughing, allergic to alcohol. Don't bother replying. I hate you already
  7. No worries. I'm not on Facebook good luck with it. Sheffield needs some decent music out there.
