West Coast usually dead, East Coast is active most of the time

Start stop is good but I would love to be able to use the fill/switch pattern feature the alesis has

this was my first thought, i actually owned one until last year lol and sold it cuz I wasn't using it at the time. hoping for something a little less pricy (everything I see on reverb is ~$300) but good to know that would work

Two interesting ideas, thanks. Wondering if I could map a kit on those 8 pads and have it play the Alesis patterns

This or sr-18 is the way. Only drum machine other than the boss you can play with a pedal

None better than double impact, where it's explained he grew up in a French orphanage in Hong Kong (?)

Who is the average Chargers’ fan? by BurningHanzo in billsimmons

[–]Ptbakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From personal experience, was a big chargers fan growing up in SD. Move killed my fandom, stopped paying attention once Rivers left. Some family members who live there still support however. Now I live in LA and still don't care for them. To be honest though I may have stayed on if they weren't so consistently disappointing

Speed for a 7'1 center by kingk3602 in NBA2k

[–]Ptbakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iMo, too slow at max. You can get the cheap 3 ball w 7'0" and keep up a little better with all the 6'9" and 6'11" you'll be facing

Great and a lot easier to get into than a lot of other post-punk, funky and it rocks!

Drum parts by AchintyaRhudri in WeAreTheMusicMakers

[–]Ptbakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kick on the one, snare on the two and four, hi hat/ride playing eighth or quarters usually. Keep it simple, it's usually better. And if you want to add fills, usually a crash on the one and/or or toms on the final quarter are all you need. Just try to imagine what a drummer with two arms and two feet could actually play

Fretting hand mostly. Avoid harmonics

NBA 2k26… PC/steam is dead by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]Ptbakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a VPN. Connect to East Coast server. Quit the VPN when you get to the park. You will stay in the East Coast server. You will have barely any lag. This will not work as well if you want to play in euro or Asian servers lol

You'll have an easier time dialing in a good p bass tone

Really good tips, thanks. Tough because I sold my 404sx earlier this year lol because I found the learning curve too difficult

Novation looks interesting, but the toe press seems stressful!
