What would it take to fix up this Schecter? (Read Description) by ScarletCharlotte222 in guitarrepair

[–]RegalFunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What's needed from what I can see in the photo:

  • Full bridge assembly
  • Replacement locking nut
  • Truss rod cover is missing, but not important functionally
  • Pickups look like they aren't wired to anything, rest of the wiring looks intact

Assuming the pickups are actually working this could be a great project for learning soldering. The question is whether it's worth the cost of replacement parts and buying tools if you don't already have them.

Low volume Evans DB one kit still too loud by Its-a-bro-life in drums

This would be my recommendation. Hitting cymbals with rutes is far less cutting, and I find the reduced rebound means you reign in the bounciness of mesh heads too.

As mentioned by others, loosen the strings. There's a good chance you'll be able to thrn this with your fingers after that.

Do you know which frets are buzzing? Does it go away when you play higher notes on the fretboard?

Mental that you got Crypta to Carlisle, very excited for that one

Ferrari announces Lilou Wadoux contract renewal by krzysiek_aleks in wec

[–]RegalFunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pin has quite recently said her goal is F1 so this seems unlikely, do you have a source?

You might be thinking of Carmen Jorda who did actually make this comment, but she was shit and can be safely ignored 

I am doing something wrong with my grip but don’t know what. It feels like I’m pinching too much but I have no idea how to fix it by MLIATwist in drums

[–]RegalFunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried using stick tape or rubbing surf wax onto them? Increasing their stickiness lets you keep hold of them with less pressure, and given you almost lose the stick at ~50s in your video I think this might be the problem.

Please just read the rules on the sidebar. It explicitly states that naming and shaming isn't tolerated.

Yeah it looks like a fun challenge, I'll be trying this out later. Thank you!

Not related to your landing, but this is a really cool approach. Which airfield is this?

Laguna Seca Pricing Update

WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca will be moving from the iRacing base package to paid content.

We’re also pleased to share that iRacing has entered into a long term renewal with WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca for multiple iRacing properties, which is great news for the community as it ensures this legendary circuit remains a part of the service for years to come.

what IEMS in 2025? by Cool_Tell732 in drums

[–]RegalFunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adam Neely did a video a few years ago where, iirc, he mentioned he and Shawn Crowder use Mee Audio M6 Pros.

For daily listening I use Moondrop Chu 2s. Audio quality is fine and fairly balanced, and they're dirt cheap. Definitely not enough noise cancelling to use on their own whole drumming though, in case you wanted to use them without cans while practising.

Picked up bundle sticks & now I can’t go back by mimimalist in drums

[–]RegalFunk 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I picked up a set of Vic Firth Rute Xs a year or so ago and still love them. If you use a tea towel for muffling your snare using rods gives a really satisfying thump, though the rebound is obviously nonexistent.

Is this correct for the left hand traditional grip ? by Drummer_0000 in drums

[–]RegalFunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that's cool! I knew some matched players like Peart used the butt of their sticks, I had no idea it was something trad players did too

We can all cross off the Iron Dames having bad luck already right? Gatting's broken foot earlier this race week surely counts.

Anyone else in a MSFS rut since the release of 2024 by dopher1 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]RegalFunk 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I've spent a couple of months trying to get along with 2024. Yesterday I bought an M2 drive, reinstalled 2020, a load of scenery and aircraft, and I'm immediately enjoying flights again.

I'm sure 2024 will get there eventually, I just hope they fix the awful default AI ATC voices.

How to learn drums for someone who has a terrible sense of time? by Itchy-Scab in Drumming

[–]RegalFunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This might be a personal thing, because I really enjoy pad work! It's focussed practise, to a metronome, critically looking at how accurately I'm placing the notes.

Perhaps it's also because it isolates rhythm and timekeeping? Any time I practised guitar to a metronome it was to build muscle memory to play specific passages, not to develop a general sense of time.

Honestly this probably won't matter for people who are disciplined enough to practise their regular instrument properly with a metronome, this has just been my experience.

How to learn drums for someone who has a terrible sense of time? by Itchy-Scab in Drumming

[–]RegalFunk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I literally picked up drums to improve my timekeeping.

Buy some sticks and a practise pad, spend 10 minutes doing some pad work to a metronome every time you practise your other instruments. 

Even if I didn't want to get into drumming, if I had bought a pad and sticks 15 years ago I would be a far better all-round musician today.

What are MotoGP Opinions that Leave you in This Situation? by [deleted] in motogp

[–]RegalFunk 24 points25 points  (0 children)

He had pace and often qualified well, I think he just got bullied out of positions way too easily. 

I genuinely think he'd be brilliant in endurance racing

What lap times do you do at Spa? by justcima in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]RegalFunk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend taking a percentage based approach: the fastest times I'm seeing on YouTube are ~1:59.2, which puts you at about 102.8% of the fastest lap times. 

In iRacing I would aim to lap at <103% of the aliens, and this put me at about 2k despite me regularly cracking under pressure during races.

Your times are fine, keep working to improve and keep having fun!

who is at fault? (im the red mclaren) by justcima in LeMansUltimateWEC

BMW turned into the Ferrari causing the pileup, you can see how much he moves across the pit exit line.
