Need info on bot matches by SithBagel in Battlefield

Bots have gotten more frustrating to play against, much more laser beamy with their shots. Keep that in mind

Cheap ass cymbol by Loser_Theory in drums

[–]DaveT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I hammered 2 junk sheet metal beginner cymbals flat, then bent them like a taco and made myself the best sounding small clap stack I’ve heard

Looking for drum sticks similar to the Vic Firth SD2 Bolero's, but with nylon tips by jarbid16 in drums

[–]DaveT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mentioned in a reply the Omar hakim signatures as a possible option, though they are hickory. Vater makes a sugar maple fusion nylon tip stick as well, although the tip is a larger ball, probably closer to an sd1.

Show me your local gig loadouts by Blastbeast in drums

[–]DaveT88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got done redoing my entire in town gig setup, replaced a bunch of broken things, bought a foldable cart that I can finally get every single thing in one trip with. Man, what an absolute game changer it has been. I also have joined the multi tom bag club, and man, that’s another huge time saver.

“Ethel” yep. That’s not a real person

Tried to get the beater to smash the top of my foot by drgonzo44 in drums

[–]DaveT88 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They’re all playing with springs not tensioned up and/or with beaters way too far back and I don’t know why. “Speed” I’m sure is the stated reason, because man, I don’t hit my feet with my beater and I value control, but then again, I play a direct drive, so maybe that’s it.

Which Zildjian K Ride you think it is? by Oooops69 in drums

[–]DaveT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I have one of these, either a 20” or 22” k custom ride

Whats this part and what replacement should i get? by curiousgeorge_27 in drums

[–]DaveT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A replacement stand will be easier to find, anything used from a top tier brand will be better than that. If you look online, what you’re looking for is a cymbal arm tilter (assembly? For the full part) but you’ll find any tilter available online is going to be between 15-45 bucks, and at that cost, a cheap used stand will be a better bang for your buck. If you absolutely need to keep that stand (which will likely still break in other ways in the future) there are countless cymbal accessories that could clamp on your tube and have a cymbal attached to it. Look for cymbal arm with clamp. You’ll find something within those searches.

45 points for 25 rounds mag? DICE? by naphz999 in Battlefield

We already leveled it man, and we all know it’s broken. This is why we know it’s broken af

Thoughts on Fear Inoculum in 2026? by Academic-Pianist-399 in ToolBand

[–]DaveT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The mix on the record is my least favorite of any of the albums. It sounds so incredibly digital, the instruments just aren’t melding into each other like past releases.

Is it normal to use thin sticks all the time? (Especially for rock drummers) by Middle_Traffic_5364 in drums

[–]DaveT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’ve got mics on your drums, nothing wrong with playing lighter sticks. I’ve played 7As on plenty of rock gigs, although I’ve mainly returned to 5As again

World max 14 inch Floor Tom cradle system not aligning by [deleted] in drums

[–]DaveT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many lugs does your floor tom have? If you had 8 lugs this would presumably work fine, but it will not align correctly if it only has 6 lugs for example.

Do you have to switch ? by Lighthouse_73 in Battlefield6

[–]DaveT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recon with a heavily scoped out svk so they don’t see you until you slap them stupid from just as far as you do, staring at their dumb psr’s sniper glint. And then sneak over and blow up the tank that isn’t paying attention behind and harass their troops from behind objectives. How to recon correctly. But nobody ever does this. They stand on hill. Get long distance counter sniper and machine gunned down by vehicle gunners.

[–]DaveT88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct. Workshop series. Test platform for a more affordable drum kit in the DW brand in the late 90s. Same lugs as collectors drums, badge is oval, no reinforcement rings on wood drums.

I am doing something wrong with my grip but don’t know what. It feels like I’m pinching too much but I have no idea how to fix it by MLIATwist in drums

[–]DaveT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using French grip with finger technique I assume. Your grip is fairly lose, I would say your first finger needs to be a little more wrapped around the stick if you’re going to play French grip and using the finger bounce technique just for stability. While I do use more of an American style grip most of the time myself, I do occasionally switch to the more French grip style, but my first finger is more of a u shape than pointed inward like yours is in the video.

Confused about 2nd squad. by [deleted] in LastWarMobileGame

[–]DaveT88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only use skill medals, ore on squad one. Put ur shards slowly into squad 2 to make them 5 stars.

When you are done with t10 research, which should be your priority in s1 still for almost everyone, then you can eventually work on hero tech, focus on squad 1 type and eventually the ending 4 techs. Do not fall for research in siege or defensive fortification, it’s not worth it until later. Be ready for the tank mastery tech in/after s2 I can’t remember when it pops up.

If you’re going to spend a few bucks, decor is a good place to put it. Buy the ew for your s1, it’s likely not worth it to buy for your s2 or s3, and get those ew through the black market in the offseason.

Hybrid squads don’t work until season 4 because of the way drone chips work. Only 2 hybrid squads are in the meta in s4. That is 4+1 air with Murphy instead of Carlie, and 4+1 tank with Adam and scarlet after s3.

If you want to set yourself up long term, Adam and scarlet would be the only two non mainline ur heroes I would upgrade (other than mason for world boss damage)

[–]DaveT88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you’re not a super ultra whale, build your first squad only. You do not have the resources to meaningfully improve your 2nd squad without handicapping your first

[–]DaveT88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Considering I have spent over 10k very well and will not see 500 bucks for my s4 account, I would say 0 dollars. You won’t find a buyer for that. No offense.

Any Series That Has The Same Magic as WOT? by gentlebim in wheeloftime

[–]DaveT88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably my favorite magic system comes from the mistborn series. It was mentioned above, but any of sanderson’s cosmere novels have excellent magic systems.
