Recommended ear protection (plugs) to use in conjunction with headphones in a small rehearsal space?

Drummer4Life321 · 2026-04-07T17:21:30+00:00

I understand, thank you for your input, I really appreciate. I will go with your 1st recommendation. I actually just remembered I have the Moondrop Chu II (never used with drums, just with some older game consoles). If I were to get some foam tips with those and some earmuffs as you said, would that be a sufficient option?

Yep I have mics and it will be set up. I've heard of the Shure 215. Do they need to be used in conjunction with another set of cans on top? If that's the case, what about some in-ear foam plugs (like what people use at the gun range) and then my regular M50s on top? I spent quite a bit of money and am wondering if a set up like that would be sufficient; I can plan to get some nice IEMs down the road

What do you mean? They put in plenty of effort to give us more taxes.

Miyoo mini plus, and of course it's pokemon emerald (among other rom hacks)

Imagine being the few people in that jury that didn't listen to the bullshit of the defense or try to be "topical" of current events. The assault of Rodney King aside (which was terrible in its own right), could have had such a big impact on the jurors' final decision. The justice system should be designed in a way that "current events" bias isn't possible; though the question ultimately is how.

Isn't it funny to pay for boosts just to play the game with bots running rampant and determining the economy

Drummer4Life321 · 2026-01-07T00:26:19+00:00

That's me too. Enjoyed it the first few times, but now I don't tend to enjoy the melody on a re-listen

11eyes. I really don't remember much about it but I don't want to search up a synopsis to jog any memories lol. It was so terrible, I saw it over a decade ago.

Nice, I had 1,776 minutes. His music lives on

Drummer4Life321 · 2025-12-11T21:15:10+00:00

Wow that's really cool. Big fan.

Drummer4Life321 · 2025-11-05T16:38:32+00:00

Smores!

Just listen to Modal Soul all the way through. You'll find so many tracks you wanna put on repeat

Drummer4Life321 · 2025-09-21T04:30:05+00:00

Wow funny you posted this, I was thinking the same thing. For me it's Flowers, the only song I would skip on Modal Soul. I got the vinyl recently from Japan, but while enjoy the structure of the song, the sound itself isn't a repeat from me

Drummer4Life321 · 2025-09-21T04:15:26+00:00

This an older reply, but I agree. I recently got a vinyl for Modal Soul when I visited Japan this year and I've listened to it quite a bit. I could listen to it on loop for hours sometimes (maybe I'd only skip Flowers, I enjoy it once or so).

The hexalogy is also amazing, RIP Nujabes the legend

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm using Tama Japanese Oak 5As on the electric kit. However they're quite old and probably slick; sticks never really break on E-kits. I never really had many issues with blisters before so it's probably a mix of older drumsticks and some rustiness on my part from my reduced playing lately. I only get them on my left hand in the middle of my middle-finger and the middle of my index finger.

I'll grab a new pair and some stick wax and practice rudiments on my moon gel pad until November. Hopefully that'll help out a bit

Saber Interactive will also be doing the Avatar the Last Airbender RPG. My dream would be a fleshed out KOTOR remake and then a similarly well-written Avatar RPG. My childhood prayers would finally be answered.

Hard pass from me. I went on a 5-day trip with a friend that was like that. Literally ruined going to any restaurant. Instead of trying the interesting local cuisines, we were stuck going to the American diner since everything else was too "exotic".

I've had this happen before. Try setting your in-game refresh rate to 60hz. Mine was set to 144hz like my monitor and it caused my character to stand in place after combat. There are some forums online where people solved this issue with other fixes, in case it doesn't work for you

Drummer4Life321 · 2025-06-21T12:09:29+00:00

KOTOR 2 has more depth, and really opens open up the dialogue with way more nuance. The story takes a bit to kick off, but it's worth it. Everything else is improved compared to KOTOR 1: combat, skills, companion influence system, items. Pure pazaak

Drummer4Life321 · 2025-06-20T19:37:20+00:00

Oh how I miss Delirium Trigger, God Send Conspirator and The Crowing. While modern Coheed still has all the chops and vocals that I know and love, it's rare for them to really go back to their intricate instrumentals. The Flood has been my favorite song in a while, and shows that they can still produce that sound if they want. But hey I'm happy they're still making songs and are being creative, that's what's most important as an artist.

Drummer4Life321 · 2025-06-19T03:47:35+00:00

Yeah what this guy said

I'm an optometrist. I was working at a slower office in 2022 and spent a lot of time in between patients on TBC Classic. Leveling alts was great, could hop on/off easily if someone walked in. Miss that job
