  1. Being a drummer who does have a tendency to play hard, I've really looked into hearing protection, though I've not taken as many precautions as I should-at a price-almost constant ringing and losing the ability to hear low frequency sounds....

     

    Essentially, earplugs should be worn whenever you're exposed to noise that is louder than every day levels(playing musical instruments, going to concerts, etc.). Though I do understand the idea of losing clarity and such when wearing them. I've found that if worn for a few minutes before rehearsal/the concert begins, your ears "adjust" and you begin to hear things almost as normal. And yes, you can spend a lot of money on really good earplugs, but there are a lot of store-bought, less expensive alternatives. My favorite brand, Hearos, offers a variety of shapes(intended for different uses). The foam ones are the worst when it comes to maintaining clarity, but they do make a few different rubber types that are great for reducing volume at all frequency levels, therefore, improving clarity.

     

    No doubt, you've already done some damage, even if it's not apparent now. Repetitive exposure to high decibel levels is awful and I can't stress the importance of taking the initiative to protect your ears.

     

    (Sorry if I sounded like anyone's mother just then.)

  2. El Famous- I could only get 8 songs off your mix...

    Croach-I could only get 3 songs off of part 2.

     

    Don't know that anyone else has had these problems, and I'm not sure they're all that important, given the time of year and all, but just thought I'd mention it.

  3. As I was begin shut out of tickets overthe last few days i really enjoyes some of the ticketmaster capture words that I had to endure: among them ordeal and ashes... one guy previously posted that he received "failure" as his... any other good ones out there

    trying to get tickets to one of the individual residency shows, I got "tupelo." :monkey
