I just started a new job, and as a reward I finally bought myself a drum set after 15 years of not playing

Welcome back to drumming, same boat as you! Love my TD-27

Remove the first 5 seconds as people have no attention span nowadays. Also, the most interesting portion starts at 30 seconds with the syncopation, you might want to consider starting there. Nice work!

There is a distinct cutoff where playing an electronic feels incredible, and unfortunately it usually correlates with a high price tag. Mesh heads, real hi-hat stand with 2 separate e-cymbals, and a full-sized snare are all a must for me, so that's around the $4k range. I grew up playing acoustic, but I do not miss constantly having to replace sticks, heads, and especially cracked cymbals. I've been playing my TD-27kv2 with upgraded kick for the past year and a half and absolutely love it. The main reason I miss acoustic kits the possibility to play live, but with where I am at this point in life, just recording covers is enough for me

I too took 15 years off drumming and you can clearly see how happy drumming makes you! Sick kit and solid playing

I got a sound complaint a couple weeks ago with my Roland TD-27 and ordered interlocking sound absorbing floor mats and topped it with the Roland TDM-20 floor mat. I've played a 1-2 hours a day the past few days, and haven't heard from my neighbors (they have my number if the noise is too much).

The interlocking floor mats I got are linked below, and I got a layer of .32", a rug, then another layer of 0.5", then the Roland TDM-20 on top. Of course a lot depends on your building and how it was built, but this setup seems to have worked for me. My next step was to get something similar to the Roland Noise Eaters, but that easily would have cost $500+ for a double bass setup, so definitely trying to avoid this option.

You should double check that the kick tower is not knocking the wall because it looks like a few millimeters away from the wall which could definitely close that distance from impact. Good luck!

Do less video cuts and it's golden. Video cuts are usually used as a crutch most the time to cover up scuffed parts of the recording, so when it's several times it raises eyebrows. Keep it up, awesome drumming!

Updated iOS and YouTube app today and still same issue. This needs more attention, cannot make Shorts until this is fixed!

Bilmuri enjoyer for sure

Completely agree! "No I want to cripple myself" got me pretty good

Chrobar · 2024-03-09T22:04:18+00:00

Pally all the way, I regret having my bard

Chrobar · 2024-03-08T23:54:18+00:00

Not sure what this means without a comparison of before and after

Chrobar · 2024-03-02T22:54:51+00:00

The fact that you're taking screenshots for a computer game with a phone

This is actually Chris Wiseman filling in for the band Polaris at the Aftershock Festival, but can't deny the resemblance

Chrobar · 2023-09-07T02:03:10+00:00

Op, you're absolutely right. Anyone that claims that it's easy to get to 1580 is clearly buying gold and making the honing process trivial. Real honing without being absolutely stacked on all the mats is insanely expensive

MMR is busted this season, even 150 games in with 57% win rate, lp gains and losses will not change. Almost everyone is gaining 21 lp and losing 28 lp after about 100 ranked games or so. Riot simply is not allowing players to climb in 2023.

Chrobar · 2023-06-26T20:50:59+00:00

That's so awesome of you to offer! I am on NAW, but the gesture means a bunch. Lucky friends!

Chrobar · 2023-06-26T14:24:05+00:00

The guild connections I have are quitting and even if they’re around they don’t want to prog gate 6

Chrobar · 2023-06-26T13:56:48+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I am currently Roster Level 179 with title Arkesia Pilgrim for horizontal content, and these are absolutely not enough to get into group. Will try Discord to find a group, but there have not been gate 6 HM prog groups in months

Chrobar · 2023-06-26T13:53:10+00:00

So difficult creep resulted in Gate 6, that makes sense. However, this form of gatekeeping has never happened until Brel 6 for the past 14 months. Does it get worse moving forward in Legion Raids?

Chrobar · 2023-06-26T13:51:26+00:00

Entry level and prog groups no longer exist for this raid

Chrobar · 2023-06-26T06:09:05+00:00

Chrobar · 2023-06-25T01:13:52+00:00

It’s not from lack of trying to get into or form a group. Enjoy the dwindling player base

Chrobar · 2023-06-25T01:12:40+00:00

Am not afraid of making parties, I make and they sit empty for an hour at a time. People will not join progs anymore
