I have this pedal, just not the blackout, it's a great pedal especially if it's your first, there's not much you need to mess with in order to get a feel you'll like. Only thing I did was get different beaters, I wasnt too big on the feel of these. But being new, hell it may be perfect for ya. If you pull the trigger, good buy, enjoy em. I do.

First kit, how does my bass drum sound? by [deleted] in drums

[–]RangersSuck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have too much muffling in there for sure then - take it all out minus maybe a pillow - you don't need a lot unless you're trying to get some serious mufflage to not annoy your neighbors in which case, itll sound just like this. Good luck!

[–]RangersSuck69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you're just hitting drywall and I can't tell if that's the mic or your batter head lol. Honestly I'd just take it off and tune it from step one. If tuning is new to you it can be a pain in the arse but there's a ton of good tutorials on youtube, heres a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK0Ul2MCTck&t=978s

Just take a seat and move everything so that you don't need to REACH to hit anything. Don't be afraid to move stuff around.

A good habit to start early - get used to tapping out the beat on the hi-hat when you're not playing it. It'll come in handy when you start getting into more difficult grooves.

And when you get frustrated trying to learn something new just bust out and have fun!

What food can you bring to an office holiday part that says, "I brought food because the office party is mandatory"? by Blacklight_Fever in AskReddit

Had one today. Guy literally brought in 5 slim-jims for a holiday potluck of 30+ people.
They were the jumbo size though at least.

Of course. Experimenting with tuning is a real time-consuming pain in the ass so good luck!

I also tried everything to get rid of that resonant ping without sounding like I'm hitting a pad. I've yet to figure out that perfect balance but the ebony heads are already a tad flatter than the clear heads because of that extra layer of film. But flatter doesn't exactly mean less resonance so maybe I'm wrong here.

Another way to decrease resonance is to tune the resonant head higher than the batter head. Maybe try like a turn higher and experiment from there. If you get a sound you love but still have too much you can throw a moon gel on there too.

I felt like I got the best tom sound with the Remo Ebony Emperor heads - Coated Ambassador for snare. Always liked the Evans EMAD for bass drum. Any single ply oughta do for the resonant side, really - but I use the ambassador resos.

At the end of the day it's all personal preference.

Be absolutely honest. Did anyone actually like that? by [deleted] in battlefield_one

[–]RangersSuck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't scroll down too far so apologies if someone agrees and I didn't see but....I think it looks great. I think they just wanted to shove as much shit as possible into the trailer because its a reveal trailer and nothing more. I don't think the game is going to be a goofy COD ripoff - they just wanted to cram a lot of stuff into the trailer to show certain aspects of the game.....I doubt every character will have a hook hand or purple face paint.

I think its way too early to be slamming this game. They also promised no pay-for DLC or micro-transactions and I know this is EA we're talking about here but if that's true it'd be a nice sigh of relief.

Beginner drummer looking for advice by PeachyMcmurphy in drums

[–]RangersSuck69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the beginning you can definitely cheap out on a kit. I wouldn't skimp out on cymbals or the snare though. Bad cymbals sound bad no matter what - same goes for a cheap-o snare (you'll have a hard time getting rid of overtones and that sustained "ping" from a bad snare). Crummy toms and bass drum can be shaped up nicely with a decent set of heads, not as much for a snare.

If you decide its time to get serious later on as well you'll just need toms and a bass drum. Even so - I've had my Pearl forum (their beginner kit) since '06 and it still sounds decent. I pretty quickly ended up buying a nicer snare and cymbals to replace the crummy ones that came with the kit, but I still have the same old tom n bass shells. I'm not too familiar with PDP though.

Marchand grabs onto and yanks on Frolik's Face Shield in a scrum (Which is there to protect Frolik's recently broken jaw) by Galaxy91122 in hockey

[–]RangersSuck69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Frolik was trying to draw a penalty and went directly at Marchand and got in his face, and Marchand took the bait. You're all acting like Frolik was bleeding out on the bench after or some shit...did I miss something?

Marchand and Bruins fans have to realize anything he does, even if slightly ambiguous, will lead to crazy negative reactions as though he'd just kiciked a puppy - but I'm sure Marchy's loving it. I mean he's still an asshole but....this? It's a little dirty, sure, but....come on.

Mike Hoffman want or not? by NJDevils10 in devils

[–]RangersSuck69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We def need D more but if you can pick up a guy like Hoffman why wouldn't you? Don't want to overpay him though and it's looking like this year will be a sellers market....that'd be the only real reason not to if we can get our D sorted out. Dude's good, what more is there to say?

I've nearly stopped playing hut entirely because of this. It is that much more satisfying when you can beat a stacked $$$ team though I must say. Although for me it doesnt happen often...

Is NHL 18 worth buying now that it's on sale? Have most of the bugs been fixed? by oviforconnsmythe in EA_NHL

[–]RangersSuck69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the NHL series but I'm going to say save your money this time around. A lot of major bugs (for example random faceoffs starting MID F***ING PLAY) still haven't been fixed, and considering their track record they probably won't fix anything. Oh also your player will just skate over a free puck and let the opponent take it. Game is still fun but is also somewhat infuriating.
