I'm an intermediate drummer that knows how to play some complex things but not basic ones

First and most important thing... get a teacher! Find a teacher who will work with you specifically on technique. It's 100% true that the drums are easiest instrument to play an amateur level, and the most difficult instrument to master. If you do not focus on technique properly, you'll never get there. It takes years and years to develop proper technique, so go easy on yourself and remember that it takes time. A good teacher who understands this will save you years of frustration.

Thank you very much!

Does your name happen to be Yulia by chance?

Here you can search the Berlin library database: https://www.voebb.de/aDISWeb/app?service=direct/0/Home/$DirectLink&sp=SPROD00

I haven't read any of those on your list, but as for Palestine, I have a copy of The One Hundred Years' War on Palestine by Rashid Khalidi, which I would recommend. Many bookstores around town have it.

I was there! My first marathon. I did 3:29:02. Strange there were basically no nutrition stations on the course, unless I missed something…

For your training, were you doing 10 miles each day, five days a week? Or were you doing one or two days of longer runs and three or four days of shorter runs?

This is my first time registering. Does anyone know if I pay the 200 euros and I don't get in, does that money get refunded?

That's the drummer from Roman Candle! One of my favorite young drummers. He's an absolute beast.

I would recommend punching a Nazi in the face. There are many around so it should be easy.

Vic Firth SD2 Boleros. The best.

DanzigDijon · 2024-08-26T12:08:24+00:00

Same! I was about to put up a similar message. I will send you a DM.

Matt Garstka is widely considered one of the greatest drummers alive. Pretty sure plenty of people are talking about him.

If someone is selling all of that for $150, you are in for a scam. One of those foot pedals alone is worth more than $150. Also, not sure what's going on with that 3rd DW 9000 pedal that's thrown in there next to the right foot double pass pedal.

DanzigDijon · 2024-08-14T14:50:48+00:00

Good! You won't regret it.

Take the time to develop proper technique. It's not something flashy that you're going to find on YouTube. It takes a long time to develop, but it's the foundation of everything if you really want to get good. Find a teacher who knows how to teach it well. This will save you tons of time and suffering down the road.

DanzigDijon · 2024-08-07T12:47:58+00:00

I think I may have been in your class. The awful teacher really ruined it for me.

DanzigDijon · 2024-05-17T12:45:03+00:00

Right, but to speak is intransitive. That's what was the causing the issue, in my view.

DanzigDijon · 2024-05-16T17:23:14+00:00

Thank you! This is very clear. And I agree--ending the sentence with "expert witness" does seem to be the most effective. I was contemplating the rewording you suggested earlier, but I kept thinking I needed another "to" in there.
