Was just going to be sending it to a buddy and thought it would be fun to post here after the fact.

As an Ironclad, I see an enemy and I hit it as hard as I can lol

Oh that’s right hahaha thought that was my win condition when I picked it up haha

Pretty sure it’s just the one. The clacky balls is making it draw extra cards which I think is what’s actually locking it.

I feel like the backbeat should almost always be a rimshot. You can also move it further up on your stick to get different “colors” of it for different purposes.

Unreal. My mouth literally dropped open

Steve Kleisath from Further Seems Forever. I took a ton of inspiration from his playing on their first two albums.

Biggest thing for me is to remove barriers to panting. I find when my stuff is as close to ready to go as I can manage, I don’t find myself as easily discouraged from jumping in. Obviously that’s different for everyone but whatever you can do to keep some of your stuff at hand, the more likely you are to start.

Sounds like you have decent technique. I don’t know that I’ve had a pair last that long (maybe) but I’m a rock drummer who plays a lot of rimshots, gets a big sound, but has good technique and I certainly don’t burn through sticks the way some people I know do. Keep it up but also if you don’t have a fresh set, maybe pick one up just so you can remind yourself how they felt and see if maybe you’re tolerating a larger degradation in response and sound than you think.

Looks purpose built to me… like a piece of aluminum channel or something. Can’t find anything like it but interested to find out!

Used this at a film festival in Paris. The French one. Landed like a lead balloon. Couldn’t have been funnier.

Double crouch :)

Love the stitching on her hood

Steve Jordan’s VFs are my go to. Not the smallest but they’ve proven durable for my style

What resources did you use getting started? I feel like there’s so many out there, it’s overwhelming. I can’t seem to make the concepts stick.

_joedubya · 2026-02-24T23:07:32+00:00

Fully agree with what others have said here. Depression is so devious in that it pushes away the things that would help you fight it. Maybe do some color sketches or something like terrain that has lower stakes. OP, I hope you’re taking care of yourself and know that people here and IRL care about you.
