I played drums from middle school through sophmore year of high school. I would really like to play again, it's too expensive though. I enjoy percussion even more now taht rap/hip-hop has come into its own.

No more expensive than PC gaming.....actually less. A good drumset is always a good drumset. 8)
I picked up a nice Mapex Pro M maple set that can be recorded and gigged for $830. Semi pro, and very nice sound. Cymbals will vary of course. You don't have to be Terry Bozzio.

Hell, pick up a $500 Mapex M series (maple) on ebay or whatever, get some nice cymbals for $400, and you're good to go.

I think I'm stuck because I just don't know what direction I want to take anymore.

The way I see it, I don't care anymore - I just make whatever music I feel like. I have a huge range of influences and use whatever comes into my head at the time - I've long given up trying to fit tracks into any genre or sub-genre. Whilst it does make your music inconsistant, I think it also makes it more interesting (both to listen to and to make)

Damn it, this thread and helping a neighbor load up all his band equipment into his mini-van has got me pricing electric cellos.... :?

John Petrucci is my hero, normally speed doesn't impress me, but he's insane!

I don't like John Petrucci personally. Sure he can play fast, but so can a lot of guitarists if they put in the practice. I find he doesn't make any musical statements.

If you're interested in hearing musical statements from Petrucci, you should try listening to "Lost without you" PM me if you're interested in it, it's not "easy" to get it.

It's actually pretty nice, and it's only a Live version...
