so what are your hobbies
Really bored at the moment, worked approx 22 hours in the last 2 days, mostly gorping at screens all day.
But right now, im sat here and cant think of ANYTHING to do without staring at screens.
Any thoughts anyone? What do you get upto outside the world of Work / Gambling / Computing.........
I really need to try some new things..
As for now, completely knackered. Couple of Beers for me will provide a total Mike Tyson esque KO to 'slightly awake' state

boom
snooker and pool here to and,
When I get the time, I quite enjoy flying my model helicopter
This video isnt of my flying, but its the same 'copter ive got. The only thing is that when you crash it, it can cost a couple of hundred quid in parts to fix it, so mine spends quite a lot of time gathering dust.

Heh, nice one!
I like composing music, ten-pin bowling (winning the league for the 4th season in a row!) making my games (but that involves staring at screens!) Also like writing and reading - would love to finish a novel, or even a novella one day...

I'm a drummer, so love drumming and particularly getting together with my band or other musicians and practicing or jamming together.
I do lighting as well - I own a lighting rig that I hire out to bands and artists that are doing gigs in pubs, clubs etc. Means that my work involves sitting in a pub with a pint and listening to live music, and getting paid for the privelege!! If you go to http://www.arena-lighting.co.uk you can see my rig being used for a band I do a lot of work for.

Play league snooker and pool (managed to finish a very decent 6th in the pool rankings this season! http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andy.green ... s_div1.pdf)
Other than that, any other sports....tennis, cricket, football, golf. Still like the student life of going out weekdays and drinking the night away til 3am. Travelling about interests me too.
I'm also a drummer and like bashing me electric drum kit about when no-one else is home

Cool - but isnt the idea of an e-kit that you put headphonesin / turn it down and bash it when people ARE at home?!Mattb wrote:Play league snooker and pool (managed to finish a very decent 6th in the pool rankings this season! http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andy.green ... s_div1.pdf)

What kind of kit is it mate?
It's a Yamaha DD-55. Not anything special at all.....the hi hat and snare are the wrong way round. I guess its helped a bit, i've played a fair bit of left handed hi hat to improve my strength on that side. It's cack with headphones in, so i just try and play when i'm here on my own

If I can just nudge in here and post details of my music tech 'kit':
Roland JV1080
Korg X5D
Redsound Darkstar
EMU ESI2000 Sampler
Novation Supernova II (Silver Edition)
And tonnes of soft synths...
...And with all that, have I ever produced a mix that I'm 100% pleased with?
Have I fu......!
Although to be fair, I've produced a lot of stuff that other people really like! But if I'm not happy with it, it ends up in the bin...
