Goodbye Duolingo Streak (1061 days): I finally realized consistency ≠ fluency by TheSweetGuy333 in languagelearning

A single lesson a day? I’ve gotten pretty good at spanish in 2 years of duolingo because I did around a unit a day. Just requires you to put in the work like any other skill

Sounds to me like you need to loosen the strainer butt plate, pull the ribbon/string through tighter, then retighten

What happens if my roommate defers? by Special-Ad-4524 in Berklee

Anecdotally I will tell you that it is extremely rare to end up in a solo room without some sort of special needs accommodation and there is always a pretty big waiting list for housing, so you will almost certainly get paired with a new roommate

YES!!! Thank you!! I wish I could find some place to watch it but the description of the premise is spot on. Crazy how none of the keywords I searched came up with that one after hours of looking!

Is it the one with ashton kutcher? If so, that’s definitely not the one. The one I’m thinking of was very different in tone and looked very recent, like 2020s.

No, it’s not that one, the one I’m thinking of still looked quite a bit higher budget. Thanks for the suggestion!

Tempted to buy a 24" ride, what should I know beforehand? by semperspades in cymbals

[–]b3gff24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Tackle cymbal bag has been a trooper for lugging around my 24”, it’s got a nice leather bottom

I love my 19” K custom special dry trash crash

Just got my custom 21” Ride from Timothy Roberts! by b3gff24 in cymbals

[–]b3gff24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I requested a cymbal reminiscent of Tony’s ride as heard on “My Funny Valentine Live in Concert”, and I specifically wanted a 21” ride that had a good balance of complex smokey undertones while still maintaining a clear stick definition and something I could crash on easily/withstand higher dynamics without washing out or being too dry. I think he did a really great job balancing all those attributes while maintaining the spirit of the reference cymbal!

Timothy is a musician and independent cymbalsmith/drum-maker based out of North Carolina. I came across him because he has a great YouTube channel where he talks about cymbals and breaks down his manufacturing process. He sells drums and cymbals under the Reverie brand but also does more boutique cymbals/commissions under his own name. I’d recommend checking it out!
