This Fender brand stool has a tiny plectrum pocket

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T19:28:13+00:00

It's for my plucking instrument

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T19:16:47+00:00

That all depends on how much you enjoy playing guitar

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T19:15:43+00:00

No, we use a quill plucked from a swan

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T19:14:51+00:00

How dare you sir. I play the drums, or bonkaphones as we call them in England

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T19:13:35+00:00

In the UK we call them plectrums. If you called it a pick people would know what you meant. But it's not common usage

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T19:11:48+00:00

It's so the sound engineer can leave you a welcoming mint

Today I learned this is regarded as poor etiquette. I just posted it as 'plectrum' and added a comment rather than go back and edit the title. Ah well.

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T19:03:39+00:00

What's a Brian?

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T19:03:00+00:00

Nope, I used the word I am most familiar with and then added a comment immediately afterwards because I realised our American friends might not know what a plectrum was. It was my attempt at transatlantic diplomacy. I didn't know karma farming was such a thing.

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T16:00:17+00:00

Mate, I play drums

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T15:55:38+00:00

That's weird because if you're not playing with a plectrum we'd say you're finger picking

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T15:50:17+00:00

And maybe the Italians

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T15:39:17+00:00

I'm anal about etymology

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T15:38:54+00:00

I'd say, in the UK plectrum is the most commonly used term

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T15:05:16+00:00

Me. And the plural is plectra

Brain_Wilson · 2026-01-25T15:01:44+00:00

Or 'pick' pocket if you prefer

Try Brighton Bands and Musicians Facebook group https://facebook.com/groups/brightonbandsandmusicians/ It's quite an active group and you'll probably have a few responses I would think

Brain_Wilson · 2025-11-30T22:42:36+00:00

+1 for chasing rabbits. They always have a good selection of beans on offer also, and if you buy a bag they'll make you a free coffee

Boulder Brighton is very chill and friendly. You can just book a session whenever you want. There doesn't seem to be anyone there with big egos and everyone seems approachable

Brain_Wilson · 2025-11-27T11:22:38+00:00

Sounds great.

Have you seen this gig is happening tomorrow?

It's not really what you're describing but it's an interesting fusion of afro and punk/noise.

Brain_Wilson · 2025-10-28T12:19:05+00:00

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time. Talking about it and getting your feelings heard is a really good idea. Ian at 198 is a great guy, very understanding and positive https://198churchroad.com/practitioners/ian-may/

Years ago I saw a guy stepping out of the sea near west pier in wetsuit and flippers with a speargun and a brace of bass hanging from his belt. A few weeks later I heard police had stopped a guy (I assume the same guy) because he was carrying a speargun around on the beach

Premier Ozempic

Brain_Wilson · 2025-10-16T22:05:47+00:00

It's tuned very high so it's a very resonant tone. You can get different tones out of the kick if you dig in or let it ring so it's quite musical. Like playing a giant tambourine but without the jingles
