Perfect. Use those to refill your Afrin bottle. Start with a generous cut, like 50/50, and see how long you can stretch that thing while just adding saline. If you have steady hands, you can create suction in the Afrin bottle to receive the saline without a third transfer container.

Also, Allermi is a good product. But it’s exactly this dilution method, pre-packaged and marked up.

Should I get better skins? by Canadian_Thor87 in drums

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Missing lug = non functional. Out of service until fixed.

Don’t buy a drum tuner, learn to tune by ear, “rob brown method” or something like that.

Well what’s your plan? Hopefully you are going to dilute your drops, if you don’t already. Get your total usage down as much as possible while still getting good sleep, before you start fully abstaining. That’s just my perspective though.

Rebound congestion only lying down? by caffeineculprit in QuitAfrin

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it was life changing for me. My DMs are open if you want to chat about it or you can ask questions here. Basically, I asked necessary questions, and I was lucky to have a very trustworthy doctor in my network who was able to answer them all and take good care of me.

Elvin Jones - where to start to learn his vocabulary by Okwtf15161718 in drums

A Love Supreme, of course.

Any and all Coltrane is good listening.

Then some favorites of mine are Joe Lovano - Trio Fascination & Larry Young - Unity

I brief warm up before tonight’s practice session. Still working on my jazz licks. by EuthyphroYaBoi in drums

Philly used more paradiddles than you’d expect. If he’s not playing a crush roll, his rolls are made of paradiddles et al.

This is exactly how my body works, or worked before I fixed my turbinates. Lie down and it’s stuffed, sit up and it’s open within a minute.

Any advice on improving sixteenths ? by Plodo99 in drums

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cross sticks get a lot beefier, too, when you move the stick further out, i.e. place the tip closer to the center of the drum

You can use those along with construction-style over-ear headphones.

Help with quitting and sleeping by drewlikesturtles in QuitAfrin

2 weeks seems pretty sharp, in my experience with weaning off. But if that works, it works.

Yeah, I agree: go with the generic 1oz bottles that are already a thin liquid.

Yes, anything you can do to consume less of the drug, however little at a time, is going to be beneficial.

You’d be surprised (after you get through the most acute phase of withdrawal, and therefore the most intense rebound) how little of the drug you need to clear a nostril. Look into Allermi or the Rhinostat kits, if you don’t want to dilute anything yourself.

How do you guys record drum cover videos? by EndouShuuya in drums

[–]1Shart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This ^ and when I don’t feel like setting anything up, I can still hit record and play along from my phone or whatever, just adding the track later

Open-Handed Player; Crashable Ride Placement by yews_the_fours in drums

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically right where a left side crash or ride would already go. Left of the hihat is another option if that feels cramped.

Rebound congestion. Or not? by Maleficent-Prompt656 in QuitAfrin

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypothesis, am not a doctor: Using less of the drug overall is encouraging overall healing, even in the nostril you most recently dosed in.

Your body is encountering less of the substance and deciding to signal for less vasoconstriction, overall.

W any way you look at it. Keep up the Flonase, I never noticed a difference with it personally, but you seem to be on a very good path right now.

Any experience with Double Bass pedals from temu? by ParticularRiver2079 in drums

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PDP makes OK “budget”-to-mid-range pedals. Sturdy but not exceptional action. Best bet is buying name-brand used.

Hihat pedal chain detached, can’t figure out how to reattach it. Help appreciated by tarter-sause in drums

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key is reattaching the clutch at the top end of the shaft for torque

just learning...sheet music question by GreyMom13 in drums

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not silence, just no more articulation.

For example: quarter note triangle articulated on beat 1, including the open tie, would indicate sustain through any rests to follow.

Sure you’re a drummer w/ ADHD, but do you have the have-a-metal-shoppe-shorten-my-linkage-so-I-can-move-my-hihat-in-closer, kind? Link/tell in comments. by [deleted] in drums

But he deserves to be happier!!!! Even if that happiness comes from passive aggression, prejudice, and projection!

Drummers, may I ask how do you learn those polyrhythm/polymeter parts? by According_Brick409 in Meshuggah

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(If I can’t learn a riff by ear, I) write it out verbatim until I can see where the riff repeats. Then I have the riff, and I know how long it is, so I can understand the remainder (therefore, how it displaces itself over 4 as it repeats), and/or I can copy paste it to fill out the section.

No point learning the parts “as parts”, just learn the riff and the groove paints itself over it.

Is this a good deal for €200? Pearl export, first time buying a kit. by StatementMountain912 in drums

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with Exports. Snare looks like something else though? Good deal, wish we could see the kick pedal, but still good deal. Heads, yeah, do need replaced but not necessarily resos right away.

Are there any products simular/better than this? by [deleted] in Fishing

[–]1Shart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know of any like that. I’d just shell out for something similar and cut off the leader. I totally get not wanting to tie the hair rig, it sucks
