If this thread is going to live on infamy, I may as well repost the video in the OP

[Jim Soloway]

Jim, if you would indulge me I would very much like it if you would start a thread with some of your videos.

Sure. Probably my favorite is the Lenny Breau meets Carla Bley. It's old so you'd have to dig for it.

 

[Chocol8]

Wow, 5 pages and still growing. Have fun.

Have you seen the drum thread? This is nothing, don't let a couple ignorant dicks chase you away.

 

[Mikael Dez]

I think it's embarrassing that people are being called assholes, knobs, dicks and ignorant on this thread for things that I really don't see warranting the reaction. Nobody should be faulted for not knowing who "X person from Y forum" is, and any reception to the same type of OP would have been applauded here any other day because 98% of the time it IS some dude trying to shill their content. It was a misunderstanding that could have been resolved on page 1 if communication was a little better on both sides.

That’s some freaky shit going down in that thread.

I had that OP blocked so as to avoid that nightmare fuel. I just unignored and realized immediately my original choice was the correct one

Which thread? I've clearly missed it.

It takes 10-15 seconds or less to check before accusing someone of being a spammer. I am all for calling people out, but there is no need for a hair trigger all the time.

Thread 'E-drums: could they be a common thing for small bands gigs?'

Jul 7, 2025

Coming from this 4-page thread derail: https://thegearforum.com/threads/kemper-profiler-mk-2.8888/post-386669

Summary: just like some guitarists are moving to digital modelers/profilers instead of carrying an amp, would it make sense that drummers make a similar move, at least for convenience? Do we reject it just because we are not used to it yet or do they really sound that bad?

I mean, if I watched a concert that used these drums, I don't think I'd say it was bad:

Yeah I get that, that's where one party could have done better, and the other party maybe could have not freaked out and got bent out of shape, then dig deeper when it was basically explained that we have that trouble sometimes.

You might as well have written "please ignore"

Oh, I KNOW you are going to have to check it out, but I feel like my disclaimer absolves me of all responsibility for any harm you might do to yourself before you make it to page 40!

The scorched earth response was due to many of here having an established respect for Jim, and a desire to have him stay active here.

 

[SillyOctpuss]

Shit. Forty fucking pages. I'm going to wait until my kids in bed and then I'm gonna need snacks.

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

I apologise, full of shame, for being an ignorant dick and entitled asshole. I will now punish myself and listen to 60 minutes of Crazytown.

The amount of ass kissing going on here is insufferable.

Oops, 60 more minutes of Crazytown.

That’s just plain fucking disturbing.

You are going to want medicated snacks, and I would suggest having someone restrain you so you can't burn out your eyes with a hot poker or any other form of self mutilation in an attempt to make it stop.

I better leave now through the revolving door.
