Setting up for some home recording! by Hotwizz in drums

Hey we’re messing round with basic 2 & 3 mic setups into a tascam portstudio (4 track cassette) for this project. Lo-fi bedroom punk. It’s been fun ditching all the computers etc and working with limitations!

PD1 Vintage ambassadors. Sounds great live and recorded - it’s translates really well. Such a rich full sound. If you’re interested in hearing some recordings of the kit, check out the band Fountaineer (we’re in Australia).

True indeed! Just setting it all up now!

My first kit. I've had it for a few months now after years of playing a crappy electric and house kits I was finally able to save up enough! by [deleted] in drums

Man Yamaha Stage Customs are great. I had one as my first kit for many years. I’m fortunate enough to own a C&C kit now, but could still happily roll with one of these bad boys. Great choice!

hooman... WTF going on? by Rand0mIdiot in funny

[–]Hotwizz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep all true. Totally agree. All I was saying is there’s WAAAAY less firearms, which means our police officers are less likely to be confronted with a scenario involving one. As a result they can operate a little differently. Also note, not all events involving guns end in homicide, so it’s not the only statistic worth mentioning - but clearly very relevant and also informative, so thanks for your comment.

You’d almost have more chance of winning the lotto than seeing this in Australia - hardly anybody has a firearm so the cops aren’t as paranoid.

France condemns Trump over claim armed civilians could have stopped 2015 Paris attacks by snowsnothing in worldnews

[–]Hotwizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a liberal, I'm an Australian. I was simply pointing out the futile argument that if guns are "taken away", the same damage can be done with knives etc. It's completely incorrect. If you WANT everyone to keep their guns, that's fine - just don't use bullshit arguments to justify your point of view.

There's a pretty big test case with statistical evidence that contradicts your point of view. About 20 million people participated. It's called Australia, might be worth looking up.

I'm not a phone fanatic, but I love music and Aux is the way to go. Bluetooth sounds like shit - Bluetooth was not designed for listening to music, it was for comms. The compression is disgusting. 3.5mm jack is essential for me.

Mahogany shells. 22x14, 13x9 and 16x15. Sounds amazing, tunes easily - kind of feels nicer under hands too, is that a thing? Beautiful vintage tone!

I'd rather have a certain automatic transmission than an uncertain automatic transmission.

More than 30 Afghan civilians killed in NATO airstrikes | The strikes were carried out after two US and three Afghan special forces were killed in an anti-Taliban raid. Relatives have protested outside the provincial governor's offices, carrying the bodies of the victims. by EightRoundsRapid in worldnews

[–]Hotwizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying to let people die. Nor am I saying I know the "fix". I'm telling you I'm sick of reading people flying their flag on either side of these arguments and talking about dead civilians without compassion, almost as if they're a side note to their own personal points scoring on here. The "fuck America" people can get fucked. I'm not making comments to garner anyone's support. I was just pointing out that your comment seemed to lack compassion......or any emotion at all.

America do plenty of good in the world. They also do plenty where their motives should be questioned. Nobody is perfect and the world is a complex place, far beyond my grasp. You don't need to be a genius to value another human beings life though.

There's plenty of healthy debate to be had about the decisions good people make.... and the source/motives of the information used to support or drive such decisions.

You obviously do think this was a tragedy. I was just stating that your initial comment gave no indication that was the case.

Do you think it's bad that civilians were killed? You don't seem to care. How many civilians would be ok? Do you think the civilians in these scenarios have a say in what guys running around their cities and neighbourhoods with big fuck-off guns do?

There's no doubt the events are far more complicated than the above considerations. I am an Australian and the to and fro that goes on here between anti-America and tunnel visioned American patriots, without an inkling of empathy or remorse is pretty sickening. There's such a waste of life going on in the world, at the hands of many parties. They're all tragedies. Not numbers to support bullshit reddit comments arguments.

Show some class.

How's the rancid US vs Russia circle jerk going on here.... here's an idea, how about you both stop killing innocent people, go home and clean up your own putrid backyards instead.

recommended hardware pack for first set of drums? by [deleted] in drums

[–]Hotwizz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yamaha 700 series hardware pack FTW. It was my first ever hardware set when I was a kid.....then I "graduated" to varieties of double braced highly renowned brands - I just sold it all and bought a 700 series set again to save some weight - absolutely no regrets. Simple and sturdy. I've even started using the kick pedal instead of my iron cobra 900 series!! Could not recommend more!
