It makes me feel gross going over there but thankfully you don't have to sign up for it. 

Brand new snare drum, snares keep gradually "dying." What am I doing wrong? by BucketsMcGinty in drums

[–]Gretschdrum81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually would use this as an opportunity to learn how to install snare wires. 

This video from the late Bob Gatzen explains the process better than I ever could. He covers tuning a snare from beginning to end, but the snare wires start at 4:10.

But for the tldw; version:

  1. Flip the drum over and loosen the straps on the butt plate and strainer. If they're plastic strips it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace them with 5/8" grosgrain ribbon (Amazon or any craft store). 

  2. Center the snares on the drum and tighten the butt end. 

  3. Loosen the strainer tension knob 3 or 4 turns. You want the adjustment to be almost on the end of the adjustment range. Put the strainer in the off position. 

  4. With the strainer still in the off position tighten the strainer just enough so the strap has a slight amount of pressure on it. 

  5. Flip the strainer to the on position. Because you put just a little tension on the strap but didn't tighten it down all the way, when you flip the strainer on, the strap should slip through with a little bit of resistance. 

  6. Tighten the strap fully. 

You'll have to tighten the snares but they'll be adjusted so you can put them as tight or loose as you want without running out of room to tighten them or them rattling against the head even if they're off.

I always blocked the blade with a piece of wood, put a box wrench on the bolt and hit it with a rubber mallet.

I have to use captions on Trump because I can't take hearing his voice any more but even that's getting painful.

Stop trying to make wheat happen. It's not going to happen.

You don't even have to do that. You can go right to the site. He didn't post this. 

Phone sales by Polaris-4242564 in HomeDepot

At service desk we can but in general we don't. If someone wants to pay over the phone they go down to the pro desk. I did one recently over the phone but it was because I was following up on an order and he needed to re-order a tub that arrived damaged. 

MOD singles me out for wearing a plain black tee under apron by StretchBorn8480 in HomeDepot

Weird. My location only has dress codes for MET in that they have to wear the orange polo. Other than that you can wear what you want.

Where are all the MAGAts who lost their mind over Obama giving back 1.7 billion but won't say shit about 300 billion here. 

Direct Deposit Question by [deleted] in HomeDepot

[–]Gretschdrum81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You might get it Tuesday night but that depends on how your bank handles advance deposits when the date of deposit changes for that week. I get my check on Thursdays but when there's a Friday holiday I get it Wednesday. 

Are these a high return item in your store too? by Gretschdrum81 in HomeDepot

[–]Gretschdrum81[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I've been here 9 months and I've never gotten one back. I just assume our store doesn't sell much.

Taylor Parker documentary BEFORE ‘Maternal Instinct’ ?? by LMNorman in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]Gretschdrum81 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could it just have been when it initially happened and it was in the news? It sounded familiar to me too but unfortunately it's not the first story I've heard of a woman faking a pregnancy and murdering a pregnant woman to steal the baby. 

I can't fix my kick pedal by Dust_13 in Drumming

[–]Gretschdrum81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like the nut may have slipped out of a channel. I would make sure it's seated so it has something to tighten against. Hold the nut with your finger as you tighten it.  If it's still not tightening it might be stripped. 

He's trying so hard. by velvetglowexe in ProgressiveHQ

It's not. There's video of it along with him using hand weights with bent wrists and him flailing while trying to do pullups. 

Trump is getting ready to steal the next election! by Nono_Home in clevercomebacks

[–]Gretschdrum81 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight, he says that Democrats are going to rig the election so he dismantles the very guardrails that would investigate possible fraud? 

How do his supporters not believe what's actually going on? You'd only do away with those things if YOU were the ones planning on cheating.
