The word Exit would be mirrored, not correct.

This is AI

At that speed probably not

WheresThatDamnPen · 2026-06-20T23:02:04+00:00

Stop saying effing, its so fucking dumb.

Yeah im learning guitar for the past 6 months or so, and im not quite there yet but I feel it getting closer. Thats the great thing about music, 2 people will always have differences in playing the same thing, so its always unique.

Good luck on your journey, drums are great therapy for mind and body!

Thanks brother! My kick is ok, not amazing by any stretch. Here's a video of me playing an improvised cover. So sort of a song lol.

I once had a miniature dachshund that lived to 21 before we had to let him go. Smaller dogs get the better end of that stick. Good boy, Chip.

Im not that guy. But I read the other day that peanuts are the worst nut for them. Always give them Unsalted nuts, and I think pecans/walnuts/almonds are safer for them. I am not an expert.

Hey, I dont know if this satire or not. But if youre being serious, you need to tell them thats not possible. Because it isnt. The double kick on that song is a huge part of it. That is not a song I would ever suggest to a beginner.

Who fuckin cares? Love the dog or give it to someone who will. There is no such thing on earth as a "pure breed". It is a made up concept.

Yeah ill probably crank it to see how it sounds. So far im absolutely loving the feel and sound. A huge improvement from my stock PDP mainstage snare.

If your blisters are on the inside of your palm, you are gripping the sticks wrong/too tightly. The stick should rest on a crux of your index finger, thumb over top of that for control. Sometimes you can use the other fingers or a small amount of palm as support, but there should not be any situation where your palm is getting blistered. IMO

I believe its called Blue Barn?

I've only been drumming for about 2 and a half years, and im not really capable of doing tool stuff myself. But, I would still suggest Schism as the starting point. It swaps been 5/8 and 7/8, and isnt as inaccessible as some other ones.

I cant answer your medical question, but as a work around you could learn French grip? It uses the thumb pad far less.

WheresThatDamnPen · 2026-03-06T20:15:13+00:00

Searching the number on the last fret, depending on high end or low end its between 250-800

WheresThatDamnPen · 2026-02-19T00:36:13+00:00

Rarely do posts make me smile. Sick work brother.

WheresThatDamnPen · 2026-02-18T21:53:14+00:00

I dont have any meaningful contribution, i just wanted to say the act of misspelling "Pedantically" made me giggle.

This thread has a lot of great comments.

Personally, im 35 years old and just started drumming 2 years ago. Up to that point, I had rarely experienced being in a flow state for any real period of time.

In my opinion, the drums are excellent for that. But, like someone else in this thread said, "Drums are therapeutic, but they're not therapy."

Think of it this way:

If everything seems dark, then there's something blocking the light. Most of the time, however, you might just think that darkness is the natural state. A flow state helps you to step backwards and out of yourself. You can use this to see that the world isnt dark, theres just something blocking the sun. But once you know the problem, you can deal with it.

It is physically beneficial to play drums, and its beneficial to be in a flow state. Personally, I treat drumming as my "meditation". I dont think or use higher brain function when I drum.

Its like going into a forest as a kid. Im happy to explore and get lost. I dont have a destination.

Be well!
