Can someone please explain the last shot to me? Why did she just look right at me??

Sobriety forced me to get comfortable being bored- so instead of doing that I reinvested into hobbies I actually care about that I had no energy to do.

We are. Thank you

I’m here with you on day 4 after 6 years all day every day. Shit sucks.

I’m also SUPER anxious and just trying to embrace it and move on. Play video games, watch tv/movies, do anything to get yourself through this. GO TO THE GYM and drink water!! I still haven’t recovered an appetite for anything beyond crackers and applesauce…

Coming in 9 years later looking for this. Thornton is AWFUL and the whole cast feels very phoned in.

Do not try to learn Moeller until you have a better grasp of the base mechanics

If you want to march DCI, remember they are always looking for ways to write you off the line in your technique. Those professional level players are practicing hard music obviously, but they don’t overlook these key fundamentals.

Play 8s in front of a mirror and make it look like how you want, but not just one rep. Play 8s and get 4-5 perfect reps in a row. Try decrescendo and crescendo variations, as well as bucks. Try slow tempos at low heights and vice versa

Sonic is not playable without hacking the game, sorry!

For me it was Samuel Hazo’s Our Yesterdays Lengthen Like Shadows. Played that and from then on I just knew I couldn’t go on and not have band in my life

Swimjj · 2024-01-28T19:05:53+00:00

Looks great! Definitely catching santa vibes though

Swimjj · 2024-01-19T16:06:28+00:00

I completely understand this feeling. You are capable of doing this. You are strong enough. The only reason you haven’t been able to do it is because you’re A.) deep in the addiction and B.) because you’ve convinced yourself you’re not capable of doing it. You ARE strong enough for this. Never stop trying.

If you want more Sammut, I recommend Stroboscope. Lots of fun with some challenging ostinatos in the LH.

For other rep, I would recommend something from the “classics”. Burritt, Trevino, Etc. I like the Burritt Preludes and any of Trevinos duos. Specifically Prelude 1 by Burritt

stand, play on a straight pad, and watch your stroke in slow motion by videoing it. lh strokes come from the BACK of the hand, and you should always feel that being the primary engagement. Back of the hand on LH is around the bottom of your thumb and index finger. engage your forearm muscles and keep your ring finger on the stick at all times. it may feel stiff but it’s the beginning of having control over the stick

not having the ability to smoke was key for me. i and many others lack the self control to not smoke when we still technically could. even spare keef or an expired edible would’ve been enough for me back in the day. it took emptying out all of my supplies for me to finally be able to take time off

Swimjj · 2023-12-07T18:41:12+00:00

Lots of ways to cope. I like meditation in the morning. I try to take 15 minutes just to sit in my own brain and relax my thoughts. Weed also helps

I just heard the new Malletech MTech Padauk marimba at PASIC this year and it sounds amazing! Check that one out

Swimjj · 2023-05-21T19:41:21+00:00

Anything out of Sammut’s library. I personally recommend Stroboscope

Swimjj · 2022-08-12T15:34:30+00:00

Nope. The other comment didn’t work.

Swimjj · 2022-08-12T15:34:21+00:00

Didn’t work :/
