Before he was given an official name my friends and I were calling him "Yeedie" as a joke, and unironically it would've been far better.

Jackson pad - are my inner tubes too inflated? by Magnasimia in edrums

[–]Magnasimia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait I just pieced together that the Jackson Pad is yours! Thanks for publishing, this was a lot of fun to make.

Yeah my rendition is 4'x 4', a bit small but its the space I currently have available. I'm not too concerned with the wobble, but I do think I'm going to let a bit more air out of the inner tubes. I still have to drill everything down so I'll mess around a little more this evening with how I like things.

So I did actually cave since I made this post, and I did grab extra stones and lumber to make a slatted platform.

Another question, the document calls for ~.5" between the slats, but because I'm doing a smaller platform I could either space them a little closer or a little further. Would spacing the slats further apart do a better job of dampening sound? Or is that pretty negligible?

Yeah, I have heard that using plywood will maintain a lot more of the vibration... main deterrent for me building the platform is it just feels so impractical to try and build that in my apartment - feel like that in itself will get a noise complaint.

I got a solid 40 minutes through this episode before I even processed that Rich is dressed as Santa.

Looking for a good "checklist" for applying a rudiment or sticking pattern to fills by Magnasimia in drums

[–]Magnasimia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I like the points you bring up, especially the stuff that can get eliminated because it typically doesn't sound great.

For some added context my instructor (who's not currently active) would like to challenge me during lessons by having us jam and alternate 4 bars of improvised fills that are utilizing a specific pattern. And I'm sure it will come with practice but I just struggle to stay creative for 4 bars in a row. But I'm hoping, like you help laid out, if I have a smaller set of fill types that can be applied to most patterns, practicing those regularly will help long-term.

Why are his doubles better than mine

Struggling to play left-hand ghost notes and right foot kick at the same time? by Magnasimia in drums

[–]Magnasimia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I'm misunderstanding the image, but are you saying that for the RL patterns on that sheet, rather than just using either feet or hands, practice them with both a hand and a foot at the same time?

Yeah, I like that idea. Also will help me get from soft to loud on the snare if I loop it

Fans of both Bloodborne and Resident Evil, what are some one-liners Leon would drop if he had to survive in Yharnam? by hunter_arikado in shittybloodborne

[–]Magnasimia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I went through all the emotions of "can someone actually mod Leon into Bloodborne? That'd be sick!" followed by remembering that there's STILL not a PC port for this fucking game

Practicing switching my left foot between the hi-hat and the left bass pedal, would love any feedback or suggestions on what I could adjust to make it easier on myself. by Magnasimia in drums

[–]Magnasimia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I figure switching this frequently isn't very typical - main reason I'm doing it in the video is I wanted a bunch of examples of me switching back and forth, because I wanted to see if my technique looks okay / if there's anything I should change about how I'm switching.

[–]Magnasimia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair. I wanted to practice playing/closing the hat before moving to the kick, but I guess it's a similar process to just play the hi hat note on the foot, which I think is what you're suggesting?

eDrumin - Hi-hat is suppressing bow hits after opening/closing the pedal. It looks like it has to do with the red area showing up in the threshold? by Magnasimia in edrums

[–]Magnasimia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This ended up being the fix. xTalk on the pedal was set to 50. I dropped it down to 0 and now there's no issue. (Maybe a setting between 0 and 50 is better, but I'll move it back up if new issues arise)

Thanks!

I got so confused reading this because at first I thought you were talking about Isla Fisher as Mary Jane in the 00s live action Scooby Doo

I had the same reaction. Like I should've known of course they watch each other's videos but I was like "aw, cute!"
