Hmm. The last time I cut my hair was like a year-ish ago and I think I cut it to my shoulder blades or something. Yeah, probably the bottom of my shoulder blades.
Thank GOD it grows back. I cut me some bangs the other day and they look odd. But I can't figure out why. But when I go to have the rest of my hair cut, I'll get them to fix it for me.

It's difficult to say anything cause you will always end up sounding like a creep. But people who post them should be expecting pervy comments anyway.
Thanks! Yeah, my hair needs a cut soon. But nothing drastic.
Tom-toms are called "shime"[sHI-meh] ("meh" like the "me" in "merry"). We switch around. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses but most of us can play all parts (but we have been playing for around 15-16 years). You should definitely try if you can! It's a bit tricky in the beginning but it's fun. Rhythms come much easier if you have western drumming experience. You'd probably be excellent on a shime.

Thanks. It was from a group of a few pics I took for the post your hair thread but I was feeling rather ...adventurous so I took the nekkid one too.
I didn't watch the whole thing but it look like everything is set rhythms whereas we might have a set introduction and ending but then have a solo/improvisation section where we solo but nothing is set and a soloist just plays whatever while the others keep the beat (and sometimes play off of the soloist). Tom-toms I never thought of them that way. You're right, they're usually the ones that hold the basic beat cause when you're playing the other drums, the high pitch makes it easy to hear the beat. It's quite fun.

:LOL: It's okay. We're all a bunch of pervs on here anyway.
On noooo. My profile? I haven't looked at that thing in a while. I think I need to update bits of it.
That is quite traditional but I guess it's typical for a traditional style. My group is more contemporary. There is a director but I think that's more because most of us started playing when we were like 5 or 6. Now, most of us just sort things our amongst ourselves in terms of artistic direction for the songs we write.
