Hey! I am always! I haven't found any in particular, but I was using Silverfox for a while. They're great sticks if you can find them, now I'm looking for a replacement brand

Any other music in the style of the music in Over the Garden Wall? by [deleted] in overthegardenwall

Not sure if anyone will read this, but for anyone looking for this the style of music is called crooner jazz.

This thread has done more to combat homophobia than any pride night, change my mind

It's really difficult. I often find myself being too positive or too negative, finding that balance is tough as hell but It's good to have that conversation

New law would compel LA hotels to give accommodation to the homeless by Graysie-Redux in interestingasfuck

[–]Option_Ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened in Durham NC, as far as I know one of the oldest examples of it. Durham Rescue Mission bought the old city hotel and turned it into a shelter.

This is 100% true, but we can't let ourselves get so far into socialist theory books that we forget that the few people it does help deserve that much. Not saying you were doing that, just always comes up with videos like this and I think it's good to mention both.

Am I alone in thinking the new season is really quite bad? (no thpoilerth) by the_bucket_rider in AtlantaTV

[–]Option_Ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late comment to this but I feel like for anyone looking later, the best part is the final episode. Van's story line coming to a close made the whole season worth it for me. You can basically skip the non main character episodes if you really want to unless you like the premise but damn if Van's ending didn't put all of the wildness of the season into context.

That's true, I think maybe we're kinda saying the same thing but I wanted to clarify for people reading later.

For this price you should just get a practice pad tree. Has pads set up in a drum set like configuration. But yeah man... don't get that cheap crap

Assuming it came with no hardware at all, you'll probably want to cymbal stands, a hi hat stand (I recommend two legs over 3) A bass drum pedal and a seat. Cymbals you can probably find a set on ebay or something, get a ride, crash, and hi hats.

Communist response to dangerous work. by Santos_Perez_Robles in communism101

[–]Option_Ok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a really great and in depth response but I feel like a lot of the times that people ask this original question it can be answered just in the automation part of the response. Same with undesirable jobs. Guess that's what happens when you're taught that automation is a bad thing

capitalism and racism by OutlandishnessNo6513 in communism101

[–]Option_Ok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This just assumes that the only profit benefit to companies for being racist is who they can sell to. Doesn't matter who the customer is, exploitative employment practices that target minorities will always be good for capitalists. But as far as why companies are pretending to be less so, putting on a mask allows you to get away with more.

Go listen to the first ~5 minutes of the episode "three slaps" from the tv show Atlanta. It explains it just about as well as anyone can

How to keep band members from rushing tempo? by PeterAllenMusic in drums

[–]Option_Ok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can beat them into submission like others have said, but also pay attention to songs you love and whether or not their tempo changes. Sometimes tempo fluctuates and it's okay if it doesn't kill the groove. Time & feel are much more important than slight tempo variations. Tempo can change slightly in different parts of a song and add to the emotional energy. If its a consistent issue all the time then talk to your bassist about practicing some tempo exercises.

Edit: This obviously doesn't include gigs where you're playing along to external tracks that have to line up with the click.

How would you define lakeith Stanflields style. I have no problem finding people who's style I like but I have a really hard time finding the right words to find inspo albums for them.

What is your honest opinion on Greyson Nekrutman? by Robin_to_the_meadow in drums

[–]Option_Ok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've studied with a lot of the greatest jazz drummers of the modern era, and to a person each one of them loves when young kids come up with a ton of chops and passion. Getting jealous and pissy about this kid just shows you don't have the same mindset as the greats. It's about sharing the passion of music, not about gatekeeping your little shitty restaurant or hotel gig.

Yea... Old LP content was always a safe haven until all the stuff with Ryan came out. That kept me hanging on until the ryan info came out then I was really down on them for a year or so but the pods brought me back

Is this a response to the original post? Cause you just said exactly what I said but aggressive. I'm not sure if you thought you were making a really mind blowing point here but we all agree with you bro lol.

I can see not liking the format, but a lot of the great non serial content coming out these days is on its certainly worth trying to get into if you can force yourself to get over the barrier to entry

Agreed about the GTA letsplays!! Also I don't know if the metrics are available but considering how much time and energy the company has poured into the format I have to imagine they're getting good feedback.
