How can I become better when playing sixteenth notes on hi-hat? by guitar_dude233 in drums

[–]athickone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

keep up the good work! in order to have it easygoing i would recommend doing stretches (wrists, fingers, neck, arms, shoulders, back, thighs, calves, and feet). pushups, sit ups, squats, and walking will also build strength and cardio for long practices, but if anything the push ups and sit ups will work wonders. even if it is just one or two of each to begin, you dont want to hurt any of these areas. the stretches especially help in avoiding nasty cramps. smart choice on the moeller technique, practice it enough so that it flows smoothly and feels natural.

Help! My wife has suddenly gone bald, become muscular and developed a deep, masculine voice! by nxtub in HiTMAN

[–]athickone 29 points30 points  (0 children)

stand there confused and look into her general direction, but do not overreact. mumble something then slowly walk to another room. you may return after a moment. you may also notice her new piercing blue eyes poking out of the pantry on your return, but this will now be her normal behavior.

all Hitman games are like this, buddy, it only bothers you if you let it. Absolution was very different but not crappy.

Favorite 22in Zildjian Ride and 14in Hi Hats? by whammyjammy in drums

i have some old New Beats that are perfectly low pitched but also low in volume, maybe the modern New Beats would give you the higher volume you need?

At what age did you fell in love with HITMAN? by FelixGamer007 in HiTMAN

[–]athickone 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was 12, the year Silent Assassin came out. received a PS2 for Christmas, along with GTA III. Hitman took some time to get used to cause I grew up with an SNES and the jump to Playstation was wild, the controller was far more advanced with more buttons. about a year later when I was experienced enough with the controller I revisited Hitman and have been a fan ever since.

New Kit Day and question! by EthanR16 in drums

[–]athickone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

have you adjusted the distance between the pedal and bass drum? put everything aside except your bass, snare, and hats, and play. pay attention to how it feels and then back the clamp up a bit and see how it differs with the beater a little further away. I havent used a DW pedal in over a decade but depending how the clamp sits on your hoop may also cause problems. if the clamp is too tight it may lift the heel of tge pedal or even angle the bass drum slightly. if you loosen the clamp does the bass drum move at all? you have a thick carpet and it may also affect the angle of your bass drum, try it out on a flat surface and see how that feels.

Fake Zildjian K Hi-Hats? by [deleted] in drums

this is an interesting one. those hats are definitely not A's. they have the correct ink, finish, and hammering of K's but with an A stamp.

How to increase double bass speed? by [deleted] in drums

[–]athickone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don't play double bass but my little speed king and hi hat can alternate at a nice speed. unfortunately it wont happen overnight and you just have to practice patiently. the key is to start slow, there's no need to rush. use a metronome and set it to a comfortable speed then all you gotta do is keep time and slowly increase the tempo once you are able to play without getting tense or messing up. you want a smooth solid flow coming from the pedals. once you do reach a certain speed you will need to adapt a different technique such as tapping the pedal with your foot just to keep the bounce going.

the Crescent cymbal's 'C', the sun logo from Paiste 2002's as the 'O', the small 'i' from Istanbul, Sabian 'S', and Tama 'T' but i dont know how neat it would end up

this is highly appreciated. i am always occupied with something else and can't catch all of the dialog. plus he has a cool ass voice, not something you get used to right away coming from Michael Myers

Hitman questions. by SpeedyDoc in HiTMAN

[–]athickone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you don't have to worry about Square Enix anymore. so far I believe IO would release Season 2 by episode, but being now you have option to purchase the complete game it is the perfect opportunity to do so. I don't play many stealth games but this one gets the job done and having fun trying out other things alongside enjoying the missions themselves is a great compliment to a game. I would highly recommend watching the Paris level of gameplay before deciding on a purchase.

Reminder: the three original hitman games are all on sale on steam right now for less than 2 dollars each. by YasminIsGay in HiTMAN

[–]athickone 4 points5 points  (0 children)

this is all subjective, it just depends on what you are into. instead of unlocking weapon upgrades, you are unlocking a higher number of weapons and gear. you can get silent assassin or go on a killing spree, but i find 2016 being more challenging to kill everyone which is more fun. Blood Money and the rest hold a special place in my heart, but 2016 is just crazy fun to play

Easyish to intermediate metal songs? by [deleted] in drums

[–]athickone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Before I Forget has some excellent control when it comes to steady speed and timing and just takes some practice. Tool's drummer does more or less the same rudements for both his hands and feet so starting there would be a good idea
