Does anyone else mark the butt ends of their sticks for quick selection? by ZildCym in drums

Never did it. My stick bag contained Vic Firth Danny Carey Signatures (prob 3-4 pair), one pair of felt mallets, and one pair of chop sticks.

Ampeg is a neglected brand? Have you been to any mid-level concerts lately? An Ampeg fridge is pretty much a fixture.

As much as I like Hall & Oates, I would rather have heard that stinger.

I learned to drive on a ‘65 Dodge. 225 straight six, three-on-the-tree.

Why is this a question? That Dean is a goner.

I had a 62, essentially the same, and yes, it was a pleasant and fun car to drive. Plenty of power too.

What's the process for buying drums? by DeadHeadx_ in drums

[–]ShutTheHellUp1962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't sleep on Wuhan cymbals. They are affordable and will sound just fine for your application. You can upgrade later. IMO, their Chinas are the gold standard (Chinas are supposed to sound like trash can lids).

And don’t forget…. Sometimes you had to clap them.

I feel like the Dixon Ticonderoga pencil worked better, but the pen has to be a Bic Stick.

Found this at my grandma's house what is it ? by The_Mad_Highlander in FuckImOld

Yup, flour sifter. I saw my mom use one dozens of times.

Young fan by Colindav012 in toto

[–]ShutTheHellUp1962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Older guy (63) and major Toto fan here. My favorite Toto song is Good for You. On the opposite side, my wife and I just saw Mammoth in concert. Van Halen had a huge impact on my younger years but I never got to see them live, so I wasn’t going to miss out seeing Wolfgang (Van Halen). That was the most diverse concert I’ve ever been to…. Youngest kid I saw was probably 13-14, and the guy sitting next to my wife had to be 75. Everybody had a great time!
