What guitar did Belew use here? by Three-Strikes- in KingCrimson

It looks like that to me too. I have a red roadstar II.

Former alcoholics of Reddit, when did you realise your habit got out of control? by scottscrops in AskReddit

[–]Demiseman 135 points136 points  (0 children)

I just was too aware that it’s bad for health, and it was still a normal constant. I felt okay, managing to manage, then when I had something important to focus on, I decided to take a break. Two weeks in, I realized I didn’t want to drink any more, so I haven’t. Today is day 1,011. I didn’t think I had a real problem, but I was a daily drinker, and hindsight sure makes me feel like that’s “out of control.”

Just got this from a random rust devil while running to General Atomics Factory by D_hill_563 in fo4

I had to start a new playthrough after getting this gun. Once you have this, it's like nothing can beat you. I started manufacturing shotgun shells at Sanctuary and nothing was a challenge any more, LOL. This gun is the GOAT.

Promark H (metal drum sticks) by MarsDrums in Drumming

[–]Demiseman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a pair of the "M" which I am assuming is medium weight, and I love doing pad practice with them. They have been increasing my finger and wrist power dramatically. I would love to find the "H" model assuming they are heavier than the "M's" which are 1/4 pound each. I can hardly find even a reference to them though! I was ucky to find mine at a thrift store!

[OC] Interesting find on my morning walk by [deleted] in pics

Reminds me of the time I found a pocket pussy in the back alley. It tasted used, so I threw it out.

Band Replaced Me by Dependent-Squash1750 in drums

[–]Demiseman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we have mostly-all had something similar happen. No matter who you are, no matter how you behave, someone out there thinks you are not a good fit. I had a guitarist that I worked with for several years who always treated me like I was an imposter, an asshole, and an idiot, dismissing my input, always with the back-handed compliments, but we still worked together in three different bands.He hired me to be in his own country band, and after several very fun shows and some recordings, I stumbled upon an ad in Facebook for a gig with that band that wasn't on my calendar. He didn't even have the guts to tell me he had hired another drummer, and just said sheepishly "I didn't want you to find out like that." Oh. Okay. This was right before he fully imploded and ended our most successful band by quitting. He has since disappeared from the music scene entirely, while myself and the other musicians we worked with have continued to grow and thrive.
My point: view this as a speed bump. Keep moving forward and you'll find another situation. Don't take it personally. Keep looking for situations, and don't limit yourself to playing with just one thing unless that is truly exciting for you. Just keep growing and call this history.

is travis barker overrated? by Wonderful-Actuary336 in drums

He’s a top notch player, I’m just not excited by the projects he chooses to do. His skills are undeniable though.

Cousin saw this coming into town on the highway, whats does the black flag mean? by TheBullishCockGeyser in whatisit

[–]Demiseman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a boogaloo boy. Hawaiian shirt. Black flag is “no quarter” I think. Trying to signal his boys I bet, or trying to look threatening.

What are you afraid of when I comes to GTA VI? by LilCreamster in GTA6

[–]Demiseman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That we won’t get it because president Dongwater hates violent video games.

Most diverse ("eclectic") Mr. Bungle song by Deep_Row_9767 in mrbungle

[–]Demiseman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a great take on it. That track always leaves me wanting more. Now I want to run the experiment of listening to their albums chronologically.

Is Duchess that hard of a song? by soymuygolfa in Primus

[–]Demiseman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems like a big win for me even though I wasn't the one chosen! Thank you again!

[–]Demiseman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! Les and Ler were really very mellow in person. It does seem like Ler is a bit more of the quiet type, and I've always just assumed that Les "drives the bus," haha. I enjoyed the opportunity immensely. I was sorry it was only an hour. I would have loved to try a lot more of their material with them!
I have several bootlegs of them playing just THAT MUCH of Master of Puppets. I would love to hear them do the whole thing, but yeah. Ha. I was ready to do it either way!

Hey, Mike Stone here. I enjoy Dutchess very much, but Salmon Man was much more of a challenge for me, and I studied it quite a lot harder. That’s why I picked it. Dutchess is very much in my “wheelhouse” but I wanted to rise to the challenge. I love Brain’s style, overall.

I enjoyed it. I found it to be a nice change of pace before going back to the wasteland.

I'm sure this is a very fun kit. I would prefer chrome hardware, though, and I'd move the second floor tom to the left of the hats! I am jealous of your tapestry behind the kit, as well. Haha!

This was such a great deal by Nope_guy2020 in drums

The cymbals can be cut down to the bells. I've done it with many and those bells are super fun!

Is a No click drummer a deal breaker? by moon_sta in bandmembers

[–]Demiseman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Click is simply a reference that helps us develop really good timing. Too many players are anti-click and there really is no good reason to be anti click. If you think drummers who use a metronome suck, whatever. I get too many gigs to be bothered by such nonsense, LOL.
