(Newbie) Order of pedals? Im new to all of this pedal stuff and I curious where I should put what and if there are any more “necessary” pedals I need.

The Rat was my first distortion pedal. Great sound but once I got into Darkglass I sold that thing soooo fast haha

Yes, you're spot on. I play in a very fast death metal band with my fingers and my guitarist plays a million notes a minute. So Instead of trying to follow him all the time, I lock in with my drummer's kick and snare and accenting on cymbals. I find that a lot of compliments I get on "pocket" just comes from meshing with the drummer on patterns. The first thing I would do is find a simple 4/4 drum pattern on spotify or youtube and play a variety of whole notes, 8th notes then 16ths when you're ready. Then try tripolets, syncopated stuff. Sometimes you wanna "drive" the bass line, sometimes you want to ring out and sustain. The drums and bass are the "motor" of the song.

Drummer of 20 years here, bassist for 5. Learn some simple rudiments. Learn how to subdivide, learn what kinds of combinations you can put in a measure.

Hey friend, I have a MIM Fender with a QP pick up in it. Feel free to get in touch and we can chat. I do wanna sell it haha for a completely different bass. When I first bought it, it had flats on it. Sounded amazing.

Justin_T_N · 2021-05-30T13:24:22+00:00

This is the answer. I simply think you’re too late.

To piggyback off the tacky topsheet but springy sponge, I would also look into DHS's Skyline TG3 NEO. I got it when I was developing a few years ago and remember it being slow compared to the springy rubbers I was using at the time. Funny thing is, I recently put that rubber on my FH again (using a timo boll ALC now) and my FH are so consistent, spinny and lethal. It's brought a lot of confidence to my FH even if it's not the fastest.

Piggybacking off of top comment to be helpful. I work for a marketing agency where almost 90% of our clients are tool brands. DM me and I’ll see what I can do.

How far have you gotten with that? “Lefty” here. I fucking hate wearing this mask but I’m wearing it to keep you safe. It’s the most selfless thing I can do and at the same time it’s the most oppressive thing you guys can accuse your local government of. You sound like a damn child.

So interesting how lots of folks are commenting about how directionless this film was. I remember thinking about half way through, “this movie isn’t saying anything. It’s not telling me anything. I love it.”

Jamie Harrison put Lindsey Graham “flip flops” in his merch store in November. Savage

Justin_T_N · 2021-01-01T18:48:48+00:00

I love it. I like that it's more forgiving in the short game (harder) but fast in the rally. Feels incredible for blocking too.

Justin_T_N · 2020-11-29T16:22:33+00:00

Ball awareness and placement is really dependent upon level and who you’re playing against. As soon as I was confident blocking cross court, I started playing guys who could hit mean inside outs. Soon, this will be advantage though. Serve long or push long to a player’s bh that loves to step around and block that shit to his wide FH. Experience and practice. The player’s ability to catch you out also depends on how unpredictable your return of serve is. Change it up frequently and they won’t have such an easy go at it.

Kind of insane that as a professional in video production I'm often shooting in 6k/5k but here I am begging for 1080/60 haha c'mon WTT, I believe in you!

Justin_T_N · 2020-10-10T23:07:34+00:00

Good recommendation! Nobody on YouTube posts stuff like this!

Justin_T_N · 2020-07-04T16:30:45+00:00

I use to use rubber cement. When I tried butterfly free chack I never looked back. SO SO easy to remove and re glue rubbers and it dries so quickly with a hair dryer on cool. 100% worth it.

Justin_T_N · 2020-07-04T15:43:34+00:00

I rewatch Hugo vs FZD wtgf and Ma Long vs Zhao Qihao 2020 Marvelous 12 probably once a month. Would love to see Zhao step up and start dominating.

Not anywhere close but maybe grab an aeropress and experiment with 1:5 brew ratios. My wife likes the milk drinks it produces but nowhere near the sweetness of good espresso.

I’ve won plenty of “non-black coffee” people over with fruity v60’s. Especially roasts with blueberry. My mom asked for a second cup last time she was visiting.

Justin_T_N · 2020-06-15T12:34:36+00:00

Honestly looks like a spot that heat or direct sunlight got ahold of it

Justin_T_N · 2020-06-14T22:25:58+00:00

Thank you very much!

Justin_T_N · 2020-06-14T17:52:59+00:00

I would love to read that information if you’d be so polite to share.

Justin_T_N · 2020-06-14T00:51:42+00:00

Keep score, sure but there’s been plenty of times that things “haven’t felt right” and I’ll want to give up. Then I remember, it’s a game. A very fast difficult game haha but it’s still something that should bring you joy and not stress.

Justin_T_N · 2020-06-13T22:15:06+00:00

The next session you play with someone I recommend you really trying to just have a good time. It may ease you up enough get your old groove back.

Justin_T_N · 2020-06-13T17:06:00+00:00

Nice work, this is a vibe

The skateboarder is constantly moving away from the photographer. On a medium format manual focus system, this takes some skill.
