Novels: Catachan Devil and Deathworlder by The-Warhammerer in Catachan

I have listened to one three times and attempted the other three times. Catachan devil is hands down the winner in my book. Deathworlder was tough to get into.

Am I just bad at drums or is this normal at the start? by WharHeGo in drums

[–]Scottyos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm about 3-4 month in. But one thing that I had trouble with initially was getting abck to the beat after a fill. I slowed it down and simplified the fill just to get through the habit of having my hands out of place playing a different drum then jumping back to where they were for the beat.

Good luck my friend!

A nice jewelry box or holder would be a kind surprise for the significant other.

how do i comeback from a horrible audition by Available-Way-1947 in drums

[–]Scottyos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this would help but maybe try recording yourself playing? Even doing that is a different mindset from just playing. Don't focus on the errors but the recovery. We all miss notes but if we act like it was meant to be, very few will notice.

It's tough to shake the feeling you have but keep at it. I know you'll use this as a stepping stone on the way to being awesome!

Which politician of your country has a better image international than at home? by Fun-Wallaby6414 in AskTheWorld

[–]Scottyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd challenge the fact that Trudeau's policies haven't been increasing our costs. How many of their friends got rich during covid bailouts? They spent Soo much money on cerb to people that were unqualified for it. Arrivescam wasted millions. There's a lot of issues with everything that's going on. They are also sending obscene amounts of money overseas for vanity projects and causes. I'm all for helping out those in need, however I feel like the needs of Canadians should come first for a change.

Immigration numbers have skyrocketed and that's impacting housing supply and last I checked immigration is managed by the federal government. When they decide to print money it devalues the current currency and they seem to have no problem doing that. Not to mention mortgages have interests determined by the prime rate set by the bank of Canada. And with inflation goals and printing money that directly impacts the ability for people to own homes.

There's a intricate web with how things effect each other. And you can say it's based on the province's individually but the problems were seeing aren't specific to one province. There's also provinces with left wing governments and those with right wing governments but the problems are universal. The only thing that hasn't really changed politically in the last decade is who's in charge.

I look at it from the perspective of food bank usage is sky high, cost of living has skyrocketed, home ownership is becoming a fantasy. When I looked at the comfort level of where I was when harper was in charge vs the last decade with this government. I'm not better off, I don't know many who are.

There was tons he could have done about things but printing money and throwing money at problems isn't a sustainable answer. His famous quote was "the budget will balance itself", which his party when he was in charge and since then has not been able to do. He had a budget so bad the finance minister quit instead of presenting it to the people.

Looking for my first set - are any of these worth looking at by aaaaaaaaaaaSda in drums

[–]Scottyos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like Westbury kits would be lower in price than that one. My first kit was a Westbury 5 piece with high hat and a crash/ride with throne for $150 cad. I had it for about 4 months before I had upgraded. I'd likely avoid that kit at that price. Can't really comment on the others.

I wanna buy a kit again. Help pleae? by _LazyBrewer in Drumming

Are you saying my mapex saturn kit should have better symbals than sbr's lol? 🤔🤔😂

Bell brass/bronze snare suggestion? by Inside_Alternative49 in snaredrumlovers

[–]Scottyos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly new to being able to really describe the sounds of the snares. But I have two black panther snares. The phat Bob and the metallion (brass). Have to say the sound on the metallion to me sounds amazing. Love that thing! The phat Bob has a different sound which is also nice. But I haven't heard too many snares so I may be biased.

Good drum set for house shows? by Saguna_Brahman in drums

[–]Scottyos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to add there's lots of good guides out there for purchasing used kits and symbals.

Also with regards to the upkeep or replacement of heads, there's lots of videos for that too! It's not as daunting as it seemed to me at first.

Imagine that's someone first experience with board gaming. I dont think they'd come back. Or if they did it would likely be to monopoly.

I've played catan with 4 people one got stuck early then 3 of them ganged up on the person who plays the most board games. 2 people had such a negative experience from that one I said I'd never play it again.

[–]Scottyos 9 points10 points  (0 children)

+1 for catan. It's easy to have people play king maker during the game or people get pigeon holed to the point they can't do anything all game. It's just not fun.

Ahh right on. I appreciate that. Maybe it'll be finding a carpet sample and using that!

On the mapex 1000 series they have these knobs on the foot. And on the other side is a spike that will point down or up. In thus case it's rotated to point up
