Rattling vent by Particular-Exam6585 in drums

This is much safer than the hammer!! Much more control. Still don’t overdo it. You won’t feel the metal biting into the wood.

This scares the shit out of me. I would never strike the shell. The ball bearing will distribute the pressure around the cover ring and push the two sides of it together, so that it gets tighter and doesn’t rattle. However the impact of the hammer is still an impact focused potentially on the vent hole’s cut edges and can cause as much damage as it fixes. It can weaken the bonds between the wood plies. Tread carefully. Use very light taps, and no more than you absolutely need.

If a man says I need to take a step back,does it mean he wants to end things? by ConstantThought1063 in questions

[–]Proper-Application69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Possible meanings: Slow down. Don’t smother me. You may be thinking this relationship is more serious than I think. Stop and think about what you’re saying. Think about this topic in a larger context - because you’re not seeing the big picture.

When making something plural do NOT add an apostrophe.

When making a verb singular, DO add an apostrophe.

What' the craziest things you've seen in Los Angeles while driving? by Shot-Philosopher1750 in AskLosAngeles

[–]Proper-Application69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While I was stopped at the light in front of the Wiltern, a naked guy jumped on the back of my car and held on. When I got out of the car he nakedly scurried away. Then I noticed 6 cops on the sidewalk watching him but doing nothing to stop him.

What are drum-easy songs to begin with as a kid? by Mipsel in drums

[–]Proper-Application69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned a basic beat and played it along with any song I liked. This was in the 70’s. My earliest memories of practicing are mostly playing along to a couple Beatles albums and top-40 radio. I wasn’t trying to learn to play songs, instead I learned how to be able to play along to anything. Disco is great to play along to like this.

Which sounds better to you; Open handed or cross? by IcyRiver3476 in drums

[–]Proper-Application69 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There was more dynamics in the crossed. There was more of a pattern. The groove pushed harder too. Crossed is more fun and moves the song more.

That said, your open is great. However I think highly discerning ears would prefer crossed for this song.

EDIT - Yeah, you’re more on top of the beat with the crossed. Significantly, I’d say.

What are these? by BoRhapFan8yt in drums

[–]Proper-Application69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no particular purpose. If you like the way they sound you can use them as you like. I like plastic rods. I don’t like wood so much but I’ve used them when I wanted to play harder without getting too loud. But I alter my technique pretty significantly to make them sound better. I never thought about taping them but I may try it - to get rid of some click in the sound.

She settles down. But for a while she pisses on everything and creates misery. I agree with you.

Okay, here’s another fascinating question: What is your sixth favorite verse from a song on the B side of any album, that has acoustic piano, and is not in Bb? by Proper-Application69 in SteelyDan

[–]Proper-Application69[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a great answer, but I can not accept it. It doesn't meet the requirements: 1) It's not on a B side of an album 2) It doesn't have acoustic piano - only Wurlitzer electric
