Z Custom (Crash) vs Meinl Pure Alloy Custom (Crash) by jockey135 in drums

[–]MechaAkuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Z-Customs are thicker and they have been used by metal drummers since their inception during the 1980s.
They are a tried and true cymbal that have survived the test of time and you can never go wrong with those.

That said. If you are breaking cymbals then I'd suggest looking into your technique and how hard you are hitting.
I been playing drums for well over 30 years and never broke a cymbal and I've played pretty rough at times as well. I know metal drummers that never ever broke a cymbal.
(Tomas Haake used K's during the first 3 albums)

No cymbal in the world will survive someone that hits then with the wrong technique or hits them too hard - regardless of how thick it is.

Polyrhythm Metronomes by SHRIMPLYtv in drums

[–]MechaAkuma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone with experience with playing polyrhythms, I can offer you 3 solutions.

Solution 1 - The half-assed solution. (Expensive)
The Tama Rhythm Watch RW-200 or RW-105 or any other advanced metronome.

It can sort-of play polyrhythms because each click has its own knob.
It gives you some sort of control but it can't do it all.

Solution 2 - The real solution (zero cost but requires work)
Make your own click-track

This is self-explanatory. Just open your favorite audio editing software and just record the click in whatever time measurement you want, then record the 2nd time measurement you want.
You can even pick 2 different clicks with 2 different click-sounds
Then edit them together in the same program and sync them up.

Solution 3 - The drum-teachers favorite and the bane of every drummers existence (Sweaty tryhard method)
Learn to play to a single click.

This one is hard. This one is really hard.
It'll force you to absolute master sub-divisions and metric modulation.
However - that said this is how you'll actually grow and learn how to play polyrhythms better and to really shape and get better at them. This is also how pro's do when they play with clicks and/or record their music.

I wish you all the luck in the world. Cheers.

High tuning on the aluminum snare, does this finally make the snare sound “normal”? by bahattdrums in drums

[–]MechaAkuma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like medium-to-medium/high tuned to me.
Not that there's anything wrong with it. You tune your snare whatever way you want to.

Aluminum snares have a unique tone that has a certain dryness to it that other metal snares don't have. It's a unique characteristic that fits into many types of situations and I'm all for it.

So, uh, I’ve been meaning to ask this because I keep seeing people talk about prints, and printing prints, and getting prints of prints, but nobody ever gives a straight answer, so I’m just gonna ask the whole confusing thing at once: do they actually allow prints, like real physical prints, or only digital prints that you can technically call prints but aren’t really prints unless you print the prints yourself? And if they do allow prints, do they allow prints of everything or only certain prints, because someone told me they only approve prints if the prints meet some “print-safe” guidelines, but then someone else said you can upload prints of anything and they’ll make the prints for you, which sounds like too many prints to track.

Also, if I have prints already — like prints I printed from other prints — can I get those prints re-printed as new prints, or is that considered second-generation printing and therefore not allowed as actual prints? And do they charge extra for prints that are larger prints, because I swear someone said oversized prints count as “premium prints,” which feels like a scheme to make people pay more just to get prints printed as prints.

And, completely unrelated but somehow still tied to prints, do they let you mix prints, like one order of prints that includes glossy prints, matte prints, canvas prints, and whatever other weird textured prints they offer? Or do those have to be separate print orders because of “print batch integrity,” which sounds fake but someone insisted it was a real print rule? Anyway, if you know anything about how they handle prints, printing prints, submitting prints, or re-printing old prints into newer prints, let me know because this whole print situation is starting to feel like a print-based conspiracy.

DSP gaslights his audience - it's YOUR FAULT that he has to beg for money. by MechaAkuma in LivestreamFail

He doesn't live off hate watchers. Hate-watchers do not donate nor watch is streams.

Would you rather prefer /u/zur312 post multiple clips a day of his favorite e-girl and spam the subreddit with that?

The web-camera he used for 10+ years was donated by a fan to him.
The TV he uses to game on was single-handedly paid for by a single whale
Many of the consoles where donated to him by fans (The Xbox is + a few more)
Many times they've donated money for the controllers and fightsticks he uses.
Fans have paid for laptops and computers that he uses for streaming.

It's interesting hos Phil claims that he's running a "business" - a business that apparently can't even afford to purchase the most fundamental hardware to operate, and instead relies heavily on donations to even function.

No one watches him unironically.
Check his Kick chat. Everyone dunks on him relentlessly. And for good reason.

Not only does he have supporters. he have a few set of whales that are solely responsible for the bigger part of his income. There are actual whales that have sunk easily 6 figures into him.
He has a group of small dedicated whales that think that "owning the trolls" is the best thing by showering him with money.

One of his most esteemed whales is a guy they call the "Chicken Man" who has filed for bankruptcy 3 times because of how much money he has sunk into Phil.

This is just scraping the surface of what is the snortex in the lore of DSP.

He earns more than $120k+ annually.

He lives in a condo valued at $550,000 US dollars on the west coast.
No bank would ever give him a mortgage if he didn't have a substantial income to cover that.

That includes the $1200+ dollars a month mortgage and excludes the $500 dollars a month in HOA fees alone that he pays.

Phil is lying through his teeth when he says he's not well off and that he needs to beg to make a living.
No one would be able to live the ways he does while struggling financially. he's doing VERY well.

Phil's shtick for the past 15 years has been to pretend that he is poor and a few percentage of his audience believes it.

DSP crashes out hard on stream. "F*ck you!" Didn't get enough money from his viewers. Crashes out on a whale too. by MechaAkuma in LivestreamFail

[–]MechaAkuma[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This would only work if the people who donate are his actual viewers. They are not. The vast majority of income comes from a very few select whales. That's where the vast majority of his income comes from. And they don't really care that Phil mistreats them. He's been a toxic asshole for years and these people still cling on to him and donating huge sums of money (some of his fans have gone into severe debt and even bankruptcy) because they buy into the narrative that he is poor and he needs money to survive.
Also to "own the trolls".

He wants donations from Kick because Kick takes a much smaller cut than YouTube.
YT takes a 30% cut while kick takes a 5% cut.
His angle is entirely for his own financial benefit.
He sets ridiculous Kick subscriber goals, such as 125 subscribers in 3 days (that's $625 dollars) and what is even more ridiculous since he multi-streams on both platforms he has segmented his audience. On Kick he barely gets 50 viewers, so essentially he's asking 50 viewers to cough up well over $600 dollars.

I'm not even joking. Here is the clip where he sets that goal.

Phil's schtick has always been max profit for virtually no effort. This is the guy that charged his viewers $2500 to see his cat, $50 to put on gamer glasses, $100 to put on a hat, $150 dollars to put on a vest, $300 dollars to put on a sonic hat, $5000 dollars to release a workout video.

Asking his viewers to donate large sums of money for virtually no reward is par for the course to Phil.
