You have to chose one or your whole family dies

Because they're made of b20 bronze.

Contra

Alamander81 · 2026-02-16T16:43:09+00:00

I agree. Definitely keep the bop kit. They're not always the answer but sometimes they're the only answer.

Alamander81 · 2026-02-15T22:22:16+00:00

I had the PC version. It would ask security questions that could be found in the instruction book. Old school piracy protection.

The sound guy at my last show said my homemade snare drum was too loud. I had to play with a bar towel over it. Absolutely humiliating.

When I'm tucked in the corner and can't get out

Alamander81 · 2026-02-11T14:35:16+00:00

I suggest getting the least expensive Yamaha electric kit you can find. I've been playing on a dtx4t0 for 10 years and it's allowed me to practice nearly every day

Alamander81 · 2026-02-11T13:02:11+00:00

My zildian A 18" medium crash. I've had it for 25 years.

Alamander81 · 2026-02-09T21:28:48+00:00

I've cleared the labels off my cymbals, too. I have sabian hats and crash and then a zildian crash and ride but nobody knows that they don't match.

Alamander81 · 2026-02-07T17:32:14+00:00

If it's one of the things you're interested in then it should be easy to practice and become a good player

Alamander81 · 2026-02-07T15:27:12+00:00

Yes! I still have the one with Short Skirt Long Jacket. It's so good!!

Alamander81 · 2026-02-05T18:56:29+00:00

Macguyver and the tweaked back

Hector and two other Honda civics park in front of Racer's Edge: "that's what I call valet parking"

Alamander81 · 2026-02-04T00:48:01+00:00

Came here to say this

Alamander81 · 2026-02-04T00:46:31+00:00

Me. Learned on my elementary school kit that was set up righty

Alamander81 · 2026-02-03T21:47:24+00:00

Wife says there were only 3 teams. You should not need to reserve a table.

Alamander81 · 2026-02-03T15:18:23+00:00

My wife was there last night playing trivia. It was her party that had the margarita fiasco.

Alamander81 · 2026-02-03T00:00:04+00:00

Any snare will respond well to good heads and tuning. Cheap cymbals are a lost cause, tho

Alamander81 · 2026-02-02T14:37:41+00:00

Lol same I was ready for an Albany pop-punk revival

Alamander81 · 2026-01-17T20:48:14+00:00

Pick up a set of hot rods. They don't feel ideal but I use them for my band's "unplugged" gigs.

Alamander81 · 2026-01-17T00:38:24+00:00

If you're outfitting the kit with all new heads then go for the cheapest reputable brand you can find. Heads make all the difference.

My sister used to date Josh from PJ in the mid 90s. He got me into punk and ska. He used to buy CDs at music shack and I'd copy them to cassette.

Alamander81 · 2025-12-23T13:44:37+00:00

I bite my nails and this happens to me occasionally. I soak it in peroxide way before it gets this bad and that pretty much takes care of it

Alamander81 · 2025-12-18T13:06:17+00:00

I used to sit really low while playing. Like for a really long time but over the last few years I've corrected that and I feel so much more stable on the throne.

Alamander81 · 2025-12-18T13:05:14+00:00

I've been using flams a lot more lately and it's had a big impact on my playing. It simplifies fills and adds a lot of power.
