I think I A'd DD5 one time, but I hardly ever play any of the DDs to begin with, just because they're all crap. I am getting super close to S'ing Children's Sketchbook though.

Also, how high are the stools at SF state? I discovered at BMF that I do much better on a lower seat.

Adjustable Drum stool. Make the the stool as high or as low as you want (down to the inch if need be) it's REALLY REALLY nice.

so I made it to SF, nice town

Might try and check out Riptide tomorrow night.

in the end I went down to Riptide on the 9th. Didn't see arctures, but I did meet a guy playing GF who was pretty good - I think he said his name was jerry or something, started with a j anyway. Really nice guy. We played session one time but then I had to leave to catch my ride back to van. If you guys know him, say hi from me

Machine's pretty nice condition, but you guys are right, the available chair selection sucks. I grabbed a trashcan, turned it upside down and played on that for a while (worked out that trick a while back at a local arcade with the same problem) - until some lady who works there came over and nearly threw me out (don't see why she went so nuts, it's only a damn trashcan). After that I had to put my bag on the tiny chair and sit on that. But other than that, decent place. Now you just gotta persuade them to upgrade it to V4

I had a good time in SF, it's a real nice town.

Yeah, I don't generally go there on fridays because I have other plans then. I'm usually there either on thursday or saturday, sometimes sunday.

Yeah I met J a week or so ago and we sessioned a bunch. And thank God I'm not the only one who considered turning the trash can upside down haha.

So I went down today, and it appears that the hi-hat doesn't work. At all.

Zerocide · 08-29-2007, 03:22 AM

Completly busted?

SF states machine isn't doing so well either, the snare is having MAJOR problems (sometimes it'll randomly trigger itself)

Arctures · 09-02-2007, 01:22 PM

Hi-hat is fixed, sorta. It still has some dead spots, but at least it works most of the time.

dj Z00M · 12-17-2007, 12:28 PM

So yeah.....visiting from so. cal. and I normally go to AI just thought I'd try some drummania and maybe some guitar freaks since its my first time up here....Today is Monday...thinking it will be a slow day, but at the same time a week before Christmas could mean people :-/, still should be fun. Love the city.

dragonheartman · 03-13-2008, 02:34 AM

I haven't been here since about September. Last I went ITG2 was turned off and Drummania's snare was torn up. Has anyone gone here recently by any chance?

Arctures · 03-14-2008, 01:57 AM

I've been down in Santa Barbara for school so I haven't been regularly at all. Spring break is next week so I'll try to hit it up sometime.

Tiger of PTS · 07-29-2008, 03:37 PM

This is the worst machine in California.

Zerocide · 08-01-2008, 04:09 AM

Even worst then the one at Santa Cruz?

Is_this_loli? · 08-04-2008, 10:43 PM

I'm heading down to SF this Wed, are the machines in good condition or are they down? (Other than the Drummania)

Zerocide · 08-06-2008, 04:24 PM

Went there the other day for a minute. Everytime I hit the high hat, the screen goes staticy. boooooooooooo
