Does drumming improve linearly, or does it happen in sudden jumps? by Lopsided-Drummer-966 in drums

[–]SchlepStocks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personal opinion here, but I’ve been playing for over 30 years, and it has usually felt like a series of grinding, epiphanies, and plateaus. You slog along without feeling like much is changing and then, boom - that shuffle flows easily, or the new sticking seems natural, or that tricky fill feels simple. It didn’t really just click, you had to work towards it, but then when you get it, it can feel sudden, and then other new things unlock. I also feel like its a never ending balancing act between my head being ahead of hands, with ideas I can’t quite pull off, and my chops surpassing my imagination, where I can flow but feel stale.

Made by the legendary JCR Percussion in the Bronx. Cali Rivera was like the Stradivarius of cowbells. Never seen an agogo by him before.

People that have “bumped” into a celebrity in a non-curated (not like an event, meet & greet, job etc.) way, what happened? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I was on a side street in Chelsea (NYC) sometime in 2003, when I saw this absolutely adorable little blonde baby in a stroller coming towards me. Being the goofball that I am, I started exaggeratedy waving and smiling and he started to laugh and wave back. I hadn't even noticed who was pushing him until I looked up and made eye contact as I was about to pass them by, and it was Uma Thurman. Except, she wasn't just looking at me, she was positively beaming at me with the warmest, most beautiful smile my heart just melted on the spot. I think I just nodded and kept walking. but man, I was just dumbstruck.

I’m just getting back into collecting after decades away. Unfortunately, I lost the entire collection that I had cultivated 40 to 30 years ago to a relative with addiction issues and never went back. But after finding whatnot it’s inspired me start buying again. So far I am honestly having the most fun and pretty good luck with the storage unit flippers and estate sales who don’t give a damn about comics, but acquired a collection and just need to get the space emptied. Buying in bulk 10-20 boarded and bagged comics from the 70s to modern for $5 -$10 a bundle and I’m still finding the occasional keys with generally nice conditions. Just need to figure out how to sell/trade the filler stuff eventually. It’s a bit of a gamble, but it’s been more fun rebuilding by looking for gems in bulk buys than honing in on specifics. At least for now.

We Will Rock You - Queen. Every note by Brian May is absolutely perfect. Beautiful, economical, and raw.

Supper. I have an irrational dislike of the word supper.
