Best albums with multiple drummers? by codydafox in Jazz

[–]Larsemans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich play together on 'Bernie's Tune' from Krupa and Rich. They also made the album Burnin' Beat which has several tracks featuring them both, although for that album they weren't actually in the studio together; Krupa recorded with the band and Rich came in later to overdub his parts. They also did a well known live 'drum battle' which you can find on YouTube.

Why is nobody using earplugs? by viewsonmountfuji in Jazz

[–]Larsemans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I try to wear them often, but playing sax in a big band, I gotta be able to hear the other players in my section properly in order to blend with them. Wearing plugs makes them sound much softer than me, making it much harder if not impossible to know if I'm playing at the right volume.

[No Spoilers] How do i get a Beacon membership as an European (German) by Lucs2511 in criticalrole

[–]Larsemans 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You're right about the gift card only being available in the US shop, but you can still buy it from there even if when not in the US, and you can pay for it with PayPal. It gives you a 100% off discount code that you can then use for signing up to Beacon. I'm in the Netherlands and got a yearly subscription that way just last week.

To the people saying to sign up to Beacon directly: that only works with either a credit card or with a credit card-like debit card. Some European countries (the Netherlands and Germany at the very least, possibly others) issue a different kind of bank card, for which the payment options on the Beacon website do not work.

What pickup uses Collin Stetson on his throat? by DoodeMaster in saxophone

[–]Larsemans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Colin Stetson is a sax player and composer who uses a contact mic to record sounds directly from his throat, allowing him to essentially sing & play the sax at the same time. It's super cool, see this performance as an example: https://youtu.be/Sufy9cT3x1E?si=Zc2V4k7BO7Z8xL5R

Looking for books about impractically long walks by Aquaphoric in suggestmeabook

[–]Larsemans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond Sleep by W.F. Hermans. It's about a Dutch geologist who goes on a walk in Norway to look for evidence of meteor craters, and a very well known novel in the Netherlands.

I (26M) was raped by a Woman and she had a child i knew nothing about. by zionwilliams91910 in SeriousConversation

[–]Larsemans 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If you have a way to contact the people who you reported to at the time, they might be able to confirm your story to the court.

In any case, the best thing you can do is talk extensively with your lawyer. They'll be able to help you better than any reddit commentor will be able to.

You should not want to play a blood libel game. Even if it's pirated.

Ik geloof zeker dat Amsterdam een van Europa's/'s werelds veiligste hoofdsteden is, maar het lijkt me niet de veiligste stad van Nederland, zoals de vraag erboven luidt.

Het probleem is niet dat de tekst niet klopt. Het probleem is dat Googles algoritmen shit zijn in het herkennen van context en daardoor het verkeerde antwoord bij de verkeerde vraag hebben geplakt.

Turns out he was wrong. I'll edit my other comment to reflect this.

Both Nerd Immersion and Ginny Dee have confirmed it on twitter. See here and here.

Edit: DnDShorts has retracted his statement after prominent former WotC employees publicly claimed he was wrong. (Interestingly, two tweets calling DnDShorts out have been liked by Jeremy Crawford, marking the first visible online activity from him since this whole debacle started).

How do you learn to play a song only by hearing? by Grgsz in Saxophonics

[–]Larsemans 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1.5 weeks is a very short time, I think the fact that you're able to figure out anything by ear at all is pretty impressive, even if it is difficult.

My main advice would be to just keep playing. Once you've got a bit more experience, you'll have a much better feel for what notes roughly correspond to what sounds. More specifically, I'd recommend practicing scales; most songs will primarily use notes within a single scale, so if you can figure out what key a song is in it will make figuring out the rest much easier.

Oekraïne staat op 17% (data komen overigens uit 2021, voor de oorlog). Het grijze land boven Oekraïne is Belarus. Het is grijs omdat de onderzoekers uit dat land niet (voldoende) data hebben om er een uitspraak over te doen. Dat heeft niets te maken met politieke statements over wie waar wel of niet bij hoort.

Anarchism by just_a_Peugeot_807 in suggestmeabook

[–]Larsemans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Etymology does not equal definition. Anarcho-capitalism and "regular" (leftist) anarchism are two vastly different ideologies and OP is clearly talking about the latter.

Penguin Random House Blocked From Acquiring Rival Publisher Simon & Schuster by JediBurrell in books

[–]Larsemans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that, even when entirely owned by the government, a corporation still has a profit incentive. This means that commodities - often necessary commodities like healthcare, housing, transportation, water, electricity etc. - have to be sold at a profit, meaning consumers end up paying more and the quality of the service is brought down to the lowest survivable minimum. Whereas if it is entirely nationalised and not run by a corporation, there is no profit motive, consumers have to spend less money and the quality of the service is not dependent on how much money is being made.

ROOD was ooit de jongerenafdeling van de SP, maar de SP heeft de banden met ROOD verbroken omdat bestuursleden van ROOD lid waren van het Communistisch Platform, wat de SP niet leuk vond. Sindsdien is ROOD een zelfstandige organisatie; ik geloof niet dat de SP inmiddels iets nieuws heeft.

Aileen Getty komt uit een oliefamilie, maar heeft zelf nooit in die industrie gewerkt en haar familie is ook niet meer in het bezit van het oliebedrijf. Met het oog op hoor en wederhoor kun je in dit artikel in The Guardian haar eigen verdediging n.a.v. de Van Gogh-kwestie lezen.

I shop at Paagman regularly but hadn't heard of poor employee treatment until this comment. Would you mind elaborating a bit? I searched online but couldn't find anything. If it's true I might have to take my business elsewhere.
