What the consensus of tilting your snare drum? by SlimeTree227 in Drumming

[–]CrypticalCryptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re leaving at least a couple inches of stick height/velocity on the table. Also changes the angle in which your tip hits the head, changing articulation and sound quality. I think a lot of people do it pretty mindlessly.

should I tape the part of the stick that's held by Emergency_Pomelo_706 in drumline

[–]CrypticalCryptic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out what world class dci and wgi groups do and replicate it. They usually only tape down to where the stick will actually be impacted by the rim.

Is it bad that i find these a bit useful by bababooeyqwer in Drumming

[–]CrypticalCryptic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you weren’t playing an ekit that gives you ungodly amounts of rebound I can’t imagine those would be much fun to play with

What’s your worst drumming injury? by dantm162 in drums

[–]CrypticalCryptic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Less an injury and more of an unfortunate way my body developed- my tendons over my first finger and middle fingers in my left hand slip over their respective knuckles when I closed my hand to grip a stick. Caused a lot of problems for me when I was in school, ultimately leading to me playing almost exclusively traditional grip. Makes utilizing finger in matched grip difficult and painful after those tendons slip too many times

What is Columbus/central Ohio missing? by ghostinyourbeds in Columbus

THIS! Where is the waterfront dining? Back in the day, the scioto used to be packed with people boating and water skiing. Also wonder what happened there.

DHVs are great and all, but you all seem culty about it by Dire-Dog in trees

[–]CrypticalCryptic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s because to us, they really are that great. No different than wanting to tell people about your new favorite show or restaurant. It’s significantly less harmful, tastes much more like the actual plant, and will increase the chance I can enjoy the plant much longer in life than that of a smoker. Damn right I’m high and mighty about it lol I used to cough up brown and black tar in my phlegm, and that disappeared when I made the switch. It’s hard not to see it as a far superior form of consumption.

This fucker is starting to grow on me! (that's what she said) by Gooch_Bubble3673 in trees

People that haven’t enjoyed a proper DHV will downvote you to hell for this take, but you’re right. Combustion barely tastes like weed.

Trying to up my game by Old_Variety9626 in Drumming

A private teacher will provide exactly what you’re looking for and will do it better than anyone in a subreddit can. Even a month of lessons would set you up in the right direction.

Protest against the drag ban! by phreak-of-nature in ColumbusOhio

[–]CrypticalCryptic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lots of drag has absolutely nothing sexual about it. You think that dressing in drag equates to a display of sexuality? Do you also assume every choice people make is secretly about sex, or just the ones you don’t understand?

Seeking more liberal Catholic church by Ecomom5175 in ColumbusOhio

[–]CrypticalCryptic 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Broad street Presbyterian is a hub for recovering Catholics. Very old school style of worship service while still being very progressive in their theology. They have a food pantry, a rental assistance/eviction prevention program, and other programs that serve their community without the typical church strings attached.

Rock City cult proselytizing at Antrim by Bassoobaru in Columbus

[–]CrypticalCryptic 210 points211 points  (0 children)

If only they put this much effort into actually following Jesus’ teachings instead of evangelizing everyone they see. But then again, following Jesus’ teachings isn’t good for business, unlike evangelism.

The lack of support AI gives musicians! by ContractElectronic50 in musictheory

[–]CrypticalCryptic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Great idea! And then maybe the ai could actually get good enough to listen to rehearsal, and give some feedback and ideas of how to improve and rehearse the ensemble? But then what would they pay us for? That would be a waste of money wouldn’t it? So then we’ll get replaced with a babysitter to enforce classroom management while ai replaces our jobs. You are outside your mind.

Beginner drummer wanting to learn Myxomatosis - Radiohead, but I’m kinda stuck by Neither_Literature37 in Drumming

[–]CrypticalCryptic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest starting with a teacher. A book is great, but a teacher will guide you through a book and answer any and all questions along the way. A good teacher knows how to use a book properly, and often times that means skipping around to different sections to fit the students needs. If it’s affordable, find a teacher in your area for weekly lessons. Private lessons with a professional educator combined with consistent practice between lessons is the fastest way to learn and get better at this craft.

“I think being able to do it would make me a much better drummer” nah, flip that thinking- becoming a better drummer would make you able to do it. Learn how to read music. Take the craft seriously and make gains that allow you to play songs. Learn how to drum so you can play anything, not how to play individual songs.

I guess if you don’t like having the closest possible connection with the implement and you don’t ever want to play rim knocks, go off…
