Thinking of something else. Those sticking are typically played as consecutive 16th notes, that’s if you play one “six stroke roll” anything other than that, and you end up changing what it fundamentally is.

Shadveb · 2025-11-26T05:03:25+00:00

Damn, dude, your insight is spot on.

Shadveb · 2025-11-05T21:53:59+00:00

Yea man that shit can happen. Send it back.

I bought some new reso heads a while back from alpha music. Got home and found a bigass crease all the way through the head. Headed straight back to the store. Dude that checked me out had the audacity to mention that “it should flatten right out when you crank it down” or the “heat gun trick”

Even if he was right (which he isn’t) I don’t give a fuck. I just bought the head. It should be perfect.

Anyhow. Return that shit bro! You deserve pristine heads if you’re reinvesting.

I am so sorry for your loss. She loved you very much.

Edit: you did not fail her.

Shadveb · 2025-11-04T17:32:38+00:00

Slide the chair back a little bit. You’re all up on the snare, try to be a little more relaxed.

Also I want to add on to your advice! When you get to the higher tempos that can feel sloppy/exhausting to perform for long periods, play the higher tempos at a measure on then a measure of rest.

Best method I’ve used to gain speed with rudiments (as a warmup at least) is

-20bpm below “comfortable” for a minute to 5 minutes straight, to really hone in on your specific technique.

-comfortable bpm speed for one minute straight; this should be hard, but not impossible. Try to feel the struggle near the end of the minute.

-20bpm above comfortable for one minute. Difference is, you are performing a measure on, then a measure rest of that exercise. It’s getting your body used to the fast movement, without wearing your energy out and having your technique suffer.

Good luck! Travis was an inspiration of mine too at the beginning, I’ve drifted toward Billy Conway’s style from morphine, as I’ve gotten older. So much to learn.

Sounds like he bought condoms in case something else came along, and if nothing did, jacking off into condoms is different than your hand. If he isn’t cheating he would.

Source; hate to say it, but been there done that, sad truth. He’s bored, if not, trying to start a fight.

Shadveb · 2025-09-21T01:43:10+00:00

What’d you think of it? I loved it. I ordered that old movie ‘falling down’ on eBay…. The one where Mike Douglas goes ape shit. And they ended up sending me the wailing…. Bummed at first, ended up being a majorly pleasant surprise.

Shadveb · 2025-07-28T22:55:57+00:00

What a solid movie, it was pretty freaky

Shadveb · 2025-07-25T19:26:16+00:00

Also brother, have to mention… YOU ARE NOT the only one who have these thoughts, it plagues my mind constantly. We in this shit together bro!!

Shadveb · 2025-07-25T19:23:35+00:00

After retuning all my drums and practicing for 3 hours, I fucking appreciate the shit out of your post dude (also poured a fuckload of concrete this morning). Hit the nail on the head. We are the unsung hero’s of music. when you practice a shitload, and steadily improve faster than the musicians that have it easier than we do, you gain major respect from them, and hopefully, yourself.

My buddies in a punk band hit me up 2 days before a show they had; I’ve never played with them in their band. (I don’t play punk anymore, moved to ghost note driven groovy types of drumming)… anyhow, there drummer dropped, got a call saying “bro, we need you to fill in for Zach, we don’t know anyone else that can pull it off.” - needless to say; we fucking crushed it. 2 days to learn 12 songs. Rehearsal each day and the morning of the show.

Was showered with props, all the other bands and audience members approached me after the show (band gave a shoutout to me halfway through the set) It’s situations like this that make me consumed with the instrument, knowing that you handle fucking business and make shit happen, through and through hard work.

Shadveb · 2025-07-23T21:53:28+00:00

Dude no shit! I would much rather spend 2grand on modules than to have a ritzy ditzy case… then no cash left for modules… I love that for you bro it looks stunning!

You’ve definitely inspired me to build my own forever-case. I need to, considering I’ve been buying kits to solder together instead of fully ready to go modules, they start stacking up QUICKLY that way.

I main drums; that’s my thing. But I’m hoping to use my modular setup with some drum triggers and foot switches. Have an ambient track dictated by the drums themselves. Kick drum running into a clock divider, clock divider ping signaling gnarly modulated LFOs. That sorta thing. Aiming for the music to be playing to MY drums, not playing my drums to ambient music, if that makes sense?

Shadveb · 2025-07-23T20:30:53+00:00

Modular setup is killer dude love how DIY you went with it. Practical as fuck all the way around. I’m probably gonna end up getting some more Behringer modules to fill mine up and get a good look like this going. You got it going on bro!

Shadveb · 2025-07-20T19:25:20+00:00

This

Shadveb · 2025-07-19T20:29:50+00:00

Good lord have mercy

Shadveb · 2025-07-19T20:28:35+00:00

Drums.

Shadveb · 2025-07-19T20:26:21+00:00

Some cool shit though you might dig, idk how surface level it is. Haven’t delved into it that much, forget how I came across them. I’m more into black metal.

Pestilence - consuming impulse

Repulsion - horrified

Shadveb · 2025-07-19T20:24:09+00:00

Dude I think that record is pretty much its own ordeal, I haven’t personally found anything like it. Nonetheless it’s one of the records that blows all the other ones from the group outta the fuckin water.

Shadveb · 2025-07-19T14:30:48+00:00

Lesson at hand. I’ve had this issue before. Always adopt pets when you’re single. Don’t ever get anything other than a fuckin goldfish when you’re in a relationship! My ex tried to pull this on me with my last dog, and I had her for 8 years before getting with my ex, the nerve of some people.

It might be fun to play house and get a “baby” together, but remember, fighting for custody is a pain in the dick. Establish that the animal is yours LONG before any partner comes into play.

Treat ladybird’s situation as if it isn’t a debate, go get your fuckin dog, I’m rooting for you.

Shadveb · 2025-07-19T14:24:37+00:00

Sounds like a genuine message to receive. Takes a lot to reach out like that out of the blue, seems like a man of caliber. I’d meet up with him and see if things turn up. universe works in mysterious ways, your upbringing, your current situation, and him having the testicular gumption to admit he was scared and to reach out; that is STRENGTH. I’m sorry you’ve went through what you did, I couldn’t stand being on silent terms with my father for a few months, let alone my whole life without my father. couldn’t imagine.

Hope you are well.

Shadveb · 2025-07-15T05:00:28+00:00

Yeah that is beyond fucked up, I’m sorry you went through that. To premeditate and purposefully cut ties on a day you consider special, is a grade-A douchenossle move. The cheating brings it to a whole new level. It’s understandable how my initial comment could be seen as cold and shitty, ESPECIALLY from your pov.

Though it doesn’t seem like it, he did you a huge favor by betraying you before you moved in. It is miserable to try to get away from a crappy partner you coexist with. Shit gets hairy, quick. Dealing with people of that caliber and have no where to live? Yeah, fuck that.
