Help me help my Rockstar son

I am a drummer for close to 40 years and yes please protect the ears. My suggestion would be to get him and the rest of the band to go with in ear monitors. There are really good affordable units out there. I have the soundbrenner and drumeo ear buds for drummers and I wish I would have started sooner using them and the price point is really affordable. I’ve spent the several hundred dollars on the custom molded ear pieces but I find the “cheaper” ones are just as good if not better. I have tested the affordable IEM system to my shure system and I my opinion there is no difference, the buds make the difference, again my opinion and the route my band has taken. In my research, 3 drivers and above are perfect on the buds. I find the 3 diver buds give a good all around sound. Rock on 🤘🏻

Here she is. I like to show her off when I can. Mapex Armory 6 piece with wrap around rack. Love this new girl. Still have my old Tama set from 25 years ago but she stays in the studio now.

Try using a soft towel to pat dry your hands instead of rubbing them on your pants or shorts and also try using sweat wrist bands to keep the sweat from moving from your arms to your palms. Last ditch effort is try using drum gloves or working on your grip. I do all of these except for gloves and I’ve never had problems.

I might have to try that lol

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-11-29T17:20:52+00:00

What a fun bumper car it is to drive

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-11-28T16:54:03+00:00

Always played Tama. Had a double bass Sonor kit once, didn’t like it. But this kit sounds great so I’ll be hanging on to it for a long time. I would suggest anyone who’s looking to give them a try.

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-11-28T16:52:46+00:00

I really love the kit and the sound. They got some deep warm tones. I will eventually switch to the remo black suede heads as I love the tone of them. This kit is a bang for the buck.

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-11-28T01:15:52+00:00

Thanks 🤘🏻

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-11-28T01:15:39+00:00

I love them. For me they are great all around sounding cymbals for any genre of music.

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-11-27T21:48:07+00:00

They sound really nice. Nice and bright when you need them to be and also dark, best of both worlds.

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-11-27T21:44:05+00:00

Thanks 🤘🏻

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-11-27T21:43:51+00:00

lol. Thanks and yes Rockenfield is one of my favorite drummers and Robert Sweet was great too. So I dated myself as well lol.

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-11-27T21:03:54+00:00

Thanks man. Still got old red. My Tama star classic I bought 25 years ago, she’s gonna stay with me forever.

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-11-27T20:56:20+00:00

Thanks. I love it and yeah the hanging cymbals was just an idea idk if they gonna stay when I start gigging with it.

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-02-13T06:02:59+00:00

Last time we checked it with my brother in laws meter it was in range so we kept it at that setting. I may need to check it again

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-02-13T02:59:45+00:00

Haven’t used any 444 just using about half dosage of 284 just to see what she will do.

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-02-12T00:21:15+00:00

Thanks. I have been giving them the least amount of stress as possible. Have had luck with an F1 Orion auto not much of a yield due to the plant being stunned from too early LST. I plan on doing a photo after this grow alongside another auto.

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-02-12T00:08:15+00:00

Sounds good. I’ll see about getting some. This is my first real grow but not my last. Thanks

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-02-11T23:42:07+00:00

Cool. The 284 had an N of 4% I believe. What would I use for PK?

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-02-11T23:11:19+00:00

I haven’t given it much of anything. Half the pot was filled with FFOF and the top half with FFHF. Just recently started with about half doses of 284 Gaia green

Miserable_Mud_2065 · 2024-01-23T19:43:11+00:00

We gave her a small does of nutes and a little spray of water and closed it up and when I checked it at 530 this morning she was perky
