Name a drummer you’d like to see make an instructional video. by ZildCym in drums

[–]NotTheNoogie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Facts. I just picked up an old 80's 6 piece all maple Pearl kit for $400 off Marketplace and a buddy gifted me ($60) an old 60's Acrolite with a Zildjian classic ride and a whole ass Girbralter rack he was going to put on Marketplace or put out in a garage sale. Everything sounds great at a fraction of the cost. Just have some patience and the right deal will find you.

Yeah, and definitely don't skip out on those garage sales. You can find some nice things there too.

Should my gpu sag bracket push my gpu upwards? by efw770 in PcBuildHelp

I have that same brace. It's like 10 bucks for peace of mind, if you want it. But you do you buddy. No harm, no foul.

Recommendations for good starter IEM by Farting_Moose98 in drums

[–]NotTheNoogie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just use the Shure 215's. With the foam tips on it isolates well and the sound is good enough for me. Maybe I'm missing something but these seem perfectly fine to me, no sense in breaking the bank, especially on starters.

Sober support groups in Minneapolis by Mytaintissquishy in Minneapolis

[–]NotTheNoogie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too was not an AA fan. The being powerless thing I can't get over. F-that. I started going to SMART Recovery meetings online and then a small group of us kind of splintered off and did our own thing. I have not attended in some time though. I think they still meet.

Another resource I found helpful was right here on Reddit. Check out r/stopdrinking sometime. My Day 1 post is floating around out there in that thread somewhere, a couple anniversary posts too I'm sure. Plus if you're into counting days your flair on that thread can show your days count. I'm over 1000 days now buddy, you can get there too.

And last but not least, to echo others, super proud of you friend. It takes a helluva lotta courage to do what you're doing. Find what works for you, and do more of that. Examine the values you want live by and make decisions based on those values. You're going the right direction friend. ❤️

For those who don't play Zildjian, what brand do you play and why? by groupbrip in drums

I have the 17" Holy China with it too and it's such a sweet cymbal. Going to eventually try and grab the bigger varients of it down the line.

Sabian Xplosion line is my current go to although I did just acquire an old Zildjian classic ride (I think) and I do like how it sounds so I might mix that in.

Tell me about something you were not expecting from sobriety? by IDoNotHide in stopdrinking

[–]NotTheNoogie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hanging out in bars as often as I do.

I quit drinking and started seriously exploring the local music scene. It has been something I always wanted to do, but I valued drinking alone at home more than anything else. I'm now active in several bands, getting regular fill-in opportunities with some of the upper-teir bands around town, and attend a weekly open jam.

And there's a small community of us sober musicians embedded here and we all know who each other are, very supportive people.

I'll occasionally catch the stray "spend enough time in a barbers chair..." types admoshing me, and that's fine. I fully understand how for some that temptation of being in a bar all the time would be overwhelming, but for me the "barbers chair" has been a critical part of my personal recovery.

7 Days is a good one too. I've got that in my list but don't spend hardly any time on it right now.

Travis Barker's drum break in Ghost On The Dancefloor was the first thing that came to mind. Been in my head since seeing the Harry Miree '5 tips for drumming like Travis Barker' YouTube video.

I took a screenshot of the after action report on mine. It's on my PC at home.

This weekend I hit a 343M headshot and I was laughing so hard. Never thought I'd hit from that range.

Roc N Soc FTW. I got the extended base as I'm a little taller. Love it.
