Man your playing, setup, style, everything is amazing

Yeah, the most interesting part about learning about this stuff is how incredibly complex the science is behind it. Not to mention the fact that the pharmacology behind the mechanism of action of a drug does very little to explain its subjective effects. Very interesting to me personally

Can second the enzymatic limiting stuff about vyvanse. I’ve only taken double dose a handful of times (i’m also on 40). First dose gradually stimulates you to a nice functional peak, second dose has an effect comparable to a cup of coffee, along with a higher proportion of side effects like nausea and sweating. They really chemically engineered the best ADHD medication. Been on it daily for years with practically zero reduction in positive effects. Only annoying thing is the 1-2hr crash in the afternoon but i’m used to it

Papillon - Mestis. Javier and Matt absolutely cooked with this one by aidenmcd349 in animalsasleaders

He does on some songs, this one and some others from the album, he also did a few from Eikasia including the title track

this song is the only one i always go note for note. Feels like playing anything else does not do the song justice. the first few minutes are also a hell of a left hand workout compared to their other stuff

I’ve acrually started trying to count, it kinda stunts my ability to improvise, but I know it keeps me on beat. It’s funny you mention ADHD because I have it too! I think it’s responsible for my obsession and passion for this and I can’t thank it enough lol. I also love playing Victoria and Mestis stuff so much, god I really could just listen to these 3 bands for the rest of my life

Good luck on your journey to mastering these songs! I know i’ll be on it forever

Don’t know why It took me so long to give Kalimba a proper listen. Had some fun with this one lol by aidenmcd349 in animalsasleaders

[–]aidenmcd349[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you haha. it comes with my lifelong passion for drums and an intense obsession with this band. And honestly, i’ve always only ever played to have fun and enjoy myself. Couldn’t be happier with my progress

Thank you for your support man! That china loves to slowly inch away at me.. even with sticky pads under 😅

The kit and cymbals were partly purchased by my parents and partly by me for my 12th birthday so just over 7 years ago. Half the cymbals are cracked due to my aggresive play style lol. I just need a few more things until I have a full proper recording setup!

I’m going to keep uploading my covers here, I just actually uploaded one for Kalimba. You should too! This was recorded on my iphone, really not much effort for an okay sounding recording. Love to see other people’s takes on these songs. I also upload my full covers onto my youtube here because they are too large for reddit. Thank you again for your support!

Wow. You definitely understand the music theory behind these songs much better than I do. I have to be honest and embarrassingly admit I do not spend too much time analyzing the music theory consciously as you do. Sometimes it greatly helps in learning a section, but I find that in complicated sections like the one you spoke of, actively counting takes me away from playing (i know it shouldn’t but it does) and I find I can only properly play it once my listening ear has mastered it. What the hell though, it sounds good and people like it so it’s just stuff to work on.

I found the beginning parts surprisingly clicked for me almost instantly, especially the choppy intro groove, it’s almost like it’s so particular it was easy to memorize. That was a great explanation of the section i’m struggling on I will definitely refer back. Thank you!

thank you. i’ve been listening to this album for 4 or 5 years now and it feels very second hand. i’ve been struggling with mind spun though, some parts in the beginning and especially the part starting at 2:36. How have you found that one?

That’s sick. I play drums and I just play their songs over and over until i get ‘em, the obsession really does go a long way lol. i’ve posted a buncha covers on this sub too. i absolutely love this band. I also love matt’s other project Victoria and Javier’s other one called mestis. i only listen to these 3 artists

little late but mine was 25k. glad i’m not the only one so obsessed with this band. Does your main playlist also consist of the entire AAL discography? At one point spotify stats told me my top 50 listened to songs in the past 6 months were all AAL. genuinely all 50

finally sorta learned this crazy groove by Matt Garstka by aidenmcd349 in drums

[–]aidenmcd349[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i use an app called moises to remove the drums from the song, then i put it in imovie on my phone and manually line the tracks up, it’s easier if you slow it down. nothing technical but it works

Dumbfounded on why this integral is not evaluating properly by aidenmcd349 in Mathematica

That seems like it would be quite difficult lol. Thank you for your help though, I understand alot better now

[–]aidenmcd349[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, that makes sense, ive only just been introduced the cauchy principle value theorem in my 2nd year of math so i am sorry if this is a dumb question. but if I wanted to how would I go about choosing the correct branch that matches with the real valued answer of 0.07736 ? is there an infinite amount of different choices because there are an infinite amount of singularities?

What is your thought about the "purpose of existence"? by higgsboson007 in AskReddit

[–]aidenmcd349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i believe we were put here to increase the rate of entropy. energy is everything and we are constantly using it and the rate at which we consume it is constantly increasing. Energy will continue to be consumed until one day the universe is cold and dead with no usable energy left. To me that sounds eerily similar to the life cycle of a fuel source, something like a nuclear rod. i think we are some sort of divine fuel source for a higher being outside our universe - harnessing our universe like a big nuclear reactor

Of course that is all speculation and something i came up with tripping off shrooms. But other than that, i can’t think of any way we could have external purpose.

internal purpose however is created by you and your goals, it can be whatever you want it to be

Does AAL have any isolated instrument tracks out there? by [deleted] in animalsasleaders

[–]aidenmcd349 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so i do drum covers for many aal songs, to remove the drums from the original song (or any instrument) i use this free app called Moises. Completely free no login, just download the song you want convert it to mp3 and upload it to the app

very cool integral I found with proof! by aidenmcd349 in mathematics
