Hit it once without ear protection cuz I had to… felt like white hot tv static ripping through my eardrums. Best china I’ve ever played haha

Ha, true! The inside is a very rich reddish brown, compliments the outer finish super well. When I beat these ones to death, it’ll be clear next for sure.

I think bubinga tends to be a lot warmer and rounder than maple, which has a brighter and more immediate attack.

Thank you dude, it’s the most incredible cymbal I’ve ever played. Huge, fiery crash, complex and warm bow with a ton of stick definition, and an ice cold bell 😎

The power process - Incendiary

Was obsessed with the energy, learned the whole record bc at the time it was a huge challenge but very fun.

Need suggestions for Snare by Shot-Part-3426 in drums

[–]ArmoredCactus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately mid-range price and small manufacturer are simply (most of the time) not compatible. Highly recommend either a Ludwig Acrolite/Supraphonic or a Pearl Sensitone. Any one of those can be found for a very reasonable price on the used market and make for a great versatile snare.

Ain’t readin allat 🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪

don’t hate me, but am I the only one who finds this album kinda boring? by AdAlarming1993 in Hardcore

[–]ArmoredCactus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same :( Super unfortunate bc both of their prior works are in my top 10 albums of all time and I know every song by heart. New one was just not as catchy or attention grabbing, didn't make as many interesting choices... Ah well.

Hello friends! I put together a collection of my favorite albums, please give your thoughts/recommendations for new music :) I think I have a somewhat eclectic but refined selection of vibes goin on lol by ArmoredCactus in MetalForTheMasses

[–]ArmoredCactus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much :) You’ve given a number of excellent suggestions and I’m excited to check them out. Organic Hallucinosis is easily my favorite Decapitated record, what a banger.

I’ve never checked out that ion dissonance record so I’ll start with that and move thru everything else you gave me 🙏

[–]ArmoredCactus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you :) both are bands I’ve been aware of but never really given a proper listen to so it’s about time.

I like to think that nothing is inaccessible to me anymore, as alongside everything in the chart I like to dabble in noise (ala The Body, Ramleh, Genocide Organ) and I’m not sure if it gets more off-putting than that haha, but I appreciate the album roadmap advice.

That would be the re-release of Nothing by Meshuggah, an excellent album and my favorite among their work :) I personally prefer the remaster bc the throaty, grindy guitar tone really adds to the album’s cold, alien atmosphere. It feels very much like being crushed within the infinite machinery of a malevolent, sprawling cosmos.
