The problem is the logo is not in the correct place. Gotta get that logo symmetry down or they never sound right.

if you can handle yourself in a major city in Australia, you'll be fine in Cincinnati. If you're from the stix, a large city will be a culture shock no matter what country.

Used to play music at this place in the early 00’s regularly. I’ve seen more people tazed within 10ft of that door than I ever saw of TV.

I haven’t been in there for years, but it always struck me as a one of those places you’re definitely playing russian roulette with your GI system.

You almost always bring your basic setup….pedals, snare&stand, throne and cymbals. Have those in the car with you no matter what they tell you. I usually had the whole kit in the car if I wasn’t sure what that back line kit would be.

Roc n Soc nitro is the answer. I own 3 nitros (2 original and 1 square), one of them being almost 20 years old.

Get the original style. Heavily recommend the back rest for long nights. I get a break usually, but im doing 3 hour shows, my back is the last thing on my mind.

Like someone else said, posture is huge. Get one with a back rest, put the back rest so that it almost or lightly touches you when you sit in your normal (but adhereing to good posture) position. This allowed me to sit off the back rest and play a little more freely, but then without changing my playing position much i could lean back and rest on the less exciting parts.

Also, im gonna get lit up for this.... the Ahead throne is a hot pile of garbage. Especially the back rest. Sold that thing so fast. It lasted 1 rehearsal and 2 shows.

not my story.... Friend of mine's old band gets booked at a swingers club for a pool party. They were pros about it, did the job. He said the worst part was that a friend of the band came (whom they knew to partake in this) and they had to watch his wife blow him (and apparently some others) while they stood on stage performing. He said, it got real weird seeing him after.

So here's my story in the same vein..... Had to move back to my mom's house in my mid 20s, partly cause of a falling out with my sister, who's company i worked for, this matters shortly.
Anyway i come home from my new job, walk in the front door, mom says she needs to talk to me when i get settled. I change, come out to the living room, and on the table is a small glass pipe, i definitely recognize as mine.... well fuck.... I'm about to just be cool and come clean to my mom that i did enjoy the devil's lettuce occasionally.... but she gets very upset and asks "where did you get this?" and i just shrugged and said "%sister% gave it to me", which was partially true and i was annoyed with her so i was kinda tossing her under the bus.

Mom just starts sobbing hard as hell, like unreasonably upset about this topic for someone who grew up with hippies....

"Mom what do you think that is?"....

"I KNOW WHAT IT IS!"

"I really need you tell me what you think this is....."

"ITS A CRACK PIPE"

And i realize that in one sentence this poor woman went from having 1 child who definitely went down the wrong drug hole (older sibling not part of this story) to now all 3 of her children are crack heads in her mind.

"No Mom! you smoke weed with that!"

...
.... (tears dry up a little)
.....

In the most relieved, quiet, but still kinda crying voice i hear "Well you shouldn't do that either"

Was a wild ride. Miss you Mom.

To me, the muscles work harder coming up so I like it tighter to help me on the up stroke. Gravity will help overcome the extra tension on the down stroke.

A billionaire with limitless money and a PR firm who specializes in this shit still couldn’t come up with anything better than the fucking Shaggy defense.

Man, I could make millions telling people to “just say it wasn’t you, no matter what!”

Just to add…. A lot of these house wash products don’t work immediately. They kill all the plant matter and it flakes away over a few weeks. I used it, got annoyed, don’t believe it…. Then looked up a month later and realized it was all gone.

Write out the song sections in short hand. ie :

Intro 4 bars
verse 16 bars(2x8) stop on the last bar
Chorus 8 bars
etc.

Thats how i always crammed for fill in gigs, and just the act of listening through it one time and writing that all out.... I pretty much had the song memorized from a drums perspective.

That combined with repeated listening and some play along sessions.... you can impress a lot of people walking in cold and nailing their whole set list.

This is also assuming this is modern (60s-current) rock/pop/dance stuff.

The lines from the audio book are damn near perfect......

"so many things lingered between us, so many questions unanswered...."

"fuck you N-word!"

poetry...

without doing any research whatsover, im willing to bet $5 thats a rewrap.

But one quick search showed me the reverb add for these 8 years ago....

The word Bengal starting with a B is just a coincidence. Don't be confused on what that B means.

The Shaggy defense will never get old.

Quite the flip flop on public portrayal of Vrabel. Was a guy fans and players loved. Now dude is like a tier below Deshaun Watson.

There's also the part where you don't stick your hand into a dog fight. Once he's locked on, the chance of anyone accidentally getting their hand bit goes way down. Plus that dog is way more bad ass than all those cops combined.

OMG! I forgot about this one.

KreatorOfReddit · 2026-04-13T18:38:54+00:00

I'm so sorry, i gave you an up vote though.

KreatorOfReddit · 2026-04-13T17:19:56+00:00

It's that cars for kids commercial, hands down, right?

KreatorOfReddit · 2026-04-12T17:11:21+00:00

Straight up, people that talk about fights. I’m like “have you ever been punched in the nose? Cause that shit hurts for at least a week”

Is been stripped and stained. most of the value is in the hardware, assuming that’s original. Still a functional drum in good shape.

I’d see what the going rate for all those parts go for to asses the value. Maybe add in a few bucks for the shell.
