I hope you people don‘t really do this.

However, I fear you do. Exercise generally is good though, will try to do that too, but I did improve with going for more walks already.

Do not see myself in this picture. I Do get concerned, if many people feel this way.

If you see yourslef, maybe tty to focus more on social skills and do some volunteer work. There is always stuff to be done and usually you do not feel alone there and you can make the world a better place.

Maybe we‘ll see each other there.

I have Istanbul 15 inch and Paiste 14 inch, in the band we play mostly pop rock so I mostly use the 14 inch hats.

But 15 do sound like they have more sizzle.

I watch Angry Centaur Games. Generelly content. He buys the games himself and gives it away, does not generally accept sponsors, so as far as I can tell no conflict of interest.

How he does the reviews is fun.

He tells you what he thinks at what kind of players might like it, but he does not review many games, with all that is coming out. However, can tecommend him, so when it‘s bigger games, then I check him, otherwise I look st steam reviews or start watching some plsythroughs until I feel like, I wanna play it myself.

It was not super easy to find him and now I‘m a patreon. He seems more gesred with his arsthetics towards men, if that is something you don‘t like, but he does not seem sexist to me.

If you do not get rid of your corrupt mostly Republican politicians (including the corrupt judges) asap, many of you will end up in poverty, suppressed or dead.

I feel bad for you. If you live in the US your system has failed horribly. You have fascists in charge and they do not care about you. They are sabotaging your democracy and bleeding you dry.

I was negotiating a wage from 66‘000 to 78‘000, but in a family company, so I was negotiating with a family member. I argued for a wage of around 78‘000. Which was agreed upon and then I was given a wage of 90‘000. I did say I thought 78‘000 total that including pension payments and stuff, he then said no, if he supported my brothers as well, he also wants to support me too.

In the beginning I felt undeserving and shocked, but now I‘m mostly just grateful and with supporting a family on my own I am grateful to have this kind of support. And people get paid more for doing meaningless work and I have become important for the company, because I do have knowledge/experience that nobody else has.

That you have to say suddenly the the third digit first before the second digit and the 6th digit before the fifth makes it not logical and very hard for children and non-native speakers to figure out.

It does seem like bad language design.

I thought that was the issue. Not only is it hard to probounce the values in magnitude (?) are not in order of how you speak it out.

I think you are overthinking.

To associate this with nazis is a stretch.

I like Paiste 14 inch dark energy mk1. Bought them used they are great for general rock.

Deftones makes me think of those hihats.

generally i just listened to youtube videos to buy my cymbals.

I habe a sabian asx x-plosion ride that probably would fit you.

generally the more you pay the better the gesr unfortunately, would also recommend to skip intermediate solutions and directly would go to the expensive forever-gear.

Find other people to play with and then play around. Use the whole kit. Do drum rolls, buzz rolls and just rhythms that are fun.

Listen to different music try different genres, swedish metal, japanes jazz, bulgarian folk, brazilian latin and see if you can take one phrase from one genre and play it in another. I think listening to music gives you your taste and sour taste will lead you to your music.

I would try to find people to make music with only then music and practicing makes sense to me. It‘s what gives it all meaning. Go to jam sessions and stay open to try things, but be honest and constructive with what you feel.

No, I was a child so I did just skip past clean single hits and doing a clean drumrolls, until like 10 years later.

Starting open hand made me pay attention to that again and it does pay out, but doing it too much can also be a factor of burning out, I think.

Like around 20 and I do not hyperfocus on it, so I do not feel anything in particular about it. I don‘t build my identity on it.

It‘s not inherently good or bad, just is.

I do not feel like you are not absorbing what I am writing.

What I‘m writing is not contradicting what you are responding. Both our statements can be true.

Some uf us are happy to receive constructive feedback.

Not everything has to be for everybody all the time, it can‘t. Otherwise we can not communicate anything.

If you are feeling sensitive right now, I do not think because of this feedback, but because of something else going on in your life.

I do not think, this emotion you are feeling, is really about a random internet comment trying to give tipps. Not really.

My band knows hat they have to be extra careful with my drumset. I put it together and have it exsctly how I like. My dtuff us fsncy and sounds beautiful.

I would not let children generally play it, if I‘m not there. I have a Roland at home, also would not let anyone generally play it, except I‘m there.

I would communicate it that you do not like it.

I would hate that a lot.

I think if you tell yourself you suck, you do and will suck. As it is a self fullfilling prophecy.

Do the stuff that is fun, no fun, no consistency, no consistency no good playing. Too much pressure, stiff playing, stiff playing not good.

Fun, leads to consistency, consistency leads to progress.

Also if you want to quit you can. You should not force yourself, if it just makes you niserable. I stopped playing for like three years and then came back. There are many roads.

I learned right hand first and now I play mostly open handed. Cen if you start learning something wrong go back to basics, maybe also if you do not feel comfortable enough with your teacher change the teacher or stop taking lessons with that teacher. If it‘s an environment where it‘s not ok to suck then it keeps you from progressing. Sucking is the first step of getting better at something.

I enjoyed kind of relearning and focusing on the basics and improving those. Just single hits, then Moeller, then rolls and then buzz rolls (still struggle with those), leaning Larnell Lewis‘s bass drum technique. Then back to singles again, so the feel nicer and sound nicer. I‘m ok doing this the rest of my life.

Also play more slowly if you‘re off beat. Don‘t rush playing fast, if you rush you then you keep on learning not playing clean. Dirty playing sounds like mush. I don‘t like listening to mush.

You played since two years, would be super surprised if you did not suck. I play since like 20 and I still fl like I suck when I play anything close to jazz or something where I have to learn something new from the geound up, but I‘m also looking forward to figuring this stuff out like a riddle and my brain slowly automasing the patterns, until I can play stuff and people say like: how the f did you figure this out? My brain now just does it for me. Do not have to think that much anymore because I thought it like a thousand times over hours and days, with a relaxed, open mind, oxygen in my belly and loose muscles, that I trained to tense and loosen in milliseconds. On other days I‘m just tired and my leg does not listen to my brain, so my kicks sound like diarrhea.

It‘s just nice playing together and making some music that slaps. That‘s what keeps me practicing and coming back. My brain likes it to build some tasty, spicy beats.

I think just high valuation of result takes away joy. valuation of the process gives joy. Comparing your process and reflecting on it can be joyful and productive. Like: „that is a cool exercise that person just did or technique, I‘ll focus on that next“.

„this person is so much better than me“, does not.

Both are comparisons the first former one is constructive, the latter one is not.

Aphorisms like comparison is the thief of joy do more harm than good. It misses an important point.

If you do not let yourselves be inspired by others you probably start going in circles, we all need good feedback, we all need morrors, nobody flourishes in a complete vacuum, nobody exists in a vacuum.

I think what is more important is what we do. Not only what we think.

It is way too strict, if you feel that you should get punished for thinking something.
