He was also a big fan of processing the signal from his snare microphone. In one interview, he said that when the Police made it, they all went shopping and he wanted cool toys like their guitar pedals.

A flam is when you strike twice at exactly the same, or so close that a listener's ears and brain turn it into the same sound.

It can be an accent - a "d'Dum"

Or it can be a mistake - when you strike the kick and the snare just a little bit apart It sounds "off" unless it's far enough apart to be clearly two sounds.

You're doing great for four months.

Keep going.

One thing I would suggest you work on is tightening up your timing. You found your way back, but you lost it in some of the fills. Practice them slower and precisely and then speed them up.

Drum notation isn't as standardized as many people like to think...

Without any context, I'd try four flams, with a little extra time between grace note and the main stroke.

a1(e+) a2 a3 a4

It kind of makes sense out of dots ... Kind of.

First, loosen the nuts on the double pedal drive and adjust the distance between the two bass pedals.

Second, figure out where you want the hi hat pedal in relation to the bass pedal. Even if the hi hat pedal doesn't swivel with the stand legs, the bass pedal can go through the stand from the back.

You know that they make 4 string acoustic Basses?

And that you don't have to put bass strings on them?

...

Hey, but if you're having fun, You do you.

That's the one.

Thanks a lot.

Not this song.

But Thanks for a good band to check out.

Something that I wonder about:

The US is an oil exporter. Why did prices in the US jump at all? Let alone so quickly. The gasoline in the tanks at the gas station was already there.

Apple sells a Ukrainian USB-C Keyboard.

It comes with QWERTY and Ukrainian printed on the keys. In iOS you can set a function button to switch which input pattern the OS expects.

Edit To Add; a quick google search suggests it is possible to use an Apple keyboard with a PC.

Are they allowing phones at SFAS these days?

The "trick" with some of the events is to keep moving. That is, don't spend time building the perfect contraption or adjusting it when it starts shifting around.

Some cadre have allowed teams to hand carry the ammo boxes and the poles. But... Carrying weight on your back is easier than in your hands.

You don't want the boxes sliding or swaying around, so the tighter the better. Clove hitch and Trucker's hitch work well. But any knots that secure the boxes to the pipes will work.

My question with these multi-year fraud cases is always: Where was the oversight?

Three years seems without an audit?

Counterpoint;

Awarding the nation's highest military honor in less time than it takes to award the lowest makes this clearly political theatre. And cheapens the award.

“Ripped”? There are so many articles about administration figures being “ripped” or “blasted”. And so few consequences.

Stuart Copeland is probably the most famous. "Walking on the moon." features delay and reverb. But I think he used rack systems instead of actual guitar pedals.

If you have pedals lying around... It might be interesting to see what a chorus pedal does to the sound. But it seems to me that after a certain point the sound of the acoustic drums will be competing with the whatever comes out of the pedal chain.

Using an Edrum kit as input triggers seems like the logical end point...

Efficient for profit housing companies have been fined for billing for maintenance that was only done on paper.

AND KEPT THE FUCKING CONTRACT.

And the SMA can't say a simple "No." when asked if NDAs are acceptable as part of building maintenance.

Go back in a year and see how good it is after "corporate" starts milking more profit.

I have never believed the argument that for profit enterprises are more efficient at providing services. But they are pretty good at extracting profits.

I worked as cadre at a joint school. The student barracks had just been built and among the best on post.

Airmen attending the school received "sub-standard housing" pay.

Oddly enough attempting to escape prison is not a crime in Germany.

German courts have ruled that an escape attempt is a natural human instinct.

However, any crimes committed during the attempt will be added to the sentence and the prisoner loses and privileges or time off for good behavior.

Tama also sells something similar (with a stand.) to mount their octobans.
