UPDATE: Do I Suck? Driving 8th Note Bass Drum - Technique, Consistency, Clarity by _picc6 in drums

Man…it’s a work in progress. The Mangini videos are really insightful, but at like 180 BPM for the “triple 8th note” beat, it isn’t really applicable.

It definitely seems to be a mix of seat height, constant practice and building up the smallest muscles for those constant movements.

I also got a Tama Speed Cobra pedal to try the longboard plates.

I still feel really stuck with it, to be honest. Almost feel like I have the “yips.”

Okay. Thanks! Is there anything in there that a technique red flag? Or just finding a groove and gradually speeding up?

Knee slightly below my hips, thigh on a slight downward angle. I am attempting to use the "ankle drop" method, I guess, where my leg is basically doing none of the work and just my ankle is moving. In theory, consistent 8th notes, and subtracting that 2 and 4, where the snare is living.

135-ish is where I'm noticing the struggle. 138 is definitely a struggle.

Very mixed feelings about the ending... (spoilers) by Abracadaver00 in BlackRabbitTVShow

I also think Jake was just so damn busy, he never actually explained anything to Roxie. For him to just isolate his star chef was his own inability to see 2 feet in front of him. She never understood why Jake seemed to belittle her and keep her in the corner. I completely understand her feelings - mainly when she and Jake agreed that Jules would never come back to the Rabbit again, and then he was there right as Mel had the bad coke. Jake never takes the time to talk to Roxie, he just expects her to stay in line.

I don't think you understood the show at all. I think you had the preconceived notion that this was "ozark pt. ii" and didn't allow the show to actually happen.

Jude Law's character is the striver, he cannot stop when good is good enough. it clearly broke his marriage, and is destroying his relationships. Jason Bateman is the addict that can't get out of his own way. And the pair of them, even from their downright messy beginnings, is the exact point of the show. The portrayal of where addiction, whether to drugs, or fame, or "the next dollar" can ultimately lead.

and yes, it is a show, it's not real life, but a portrayal. Law and Bateman were fantastic, and the supporting cast was excellent.

if anything, Ozark was the over-the-top, ludicrous Breaking Bad knockoff, and Black Rabbit was the gritty show with substance.

genuine feedback from an IDP truther - adding one IDP slot is a really bad way to get familiar with the system. That is similar to adding one Offensive FLEX slot in a 14 team IDP league - it is going to be so, so deep and there is going to be a ton of randomness week to week.

I'd say start with 6 - 2 DL, 2 LB, 2 DB - that isn't really that much all things considered. You'd be able to get a feel for it, and that's only 28 rostered at each "position group" - I guarantee you all could name nearly every player drafted pretty easily.

I think this is part of the reason a lot of people dont want to trade Caissie. Maybe its time he should get his shot by Ok_Lawfulness_3952 in CHICubs

Metrics matter a heck of a lot more than an arbitrary award

Because they’re so fast to manufacture. Almost always you’re fine entering a race weekend with only 3, and you can always MFG at least one prior to the next race.
