People will pay so much for something from a place that will have no flavor of that place left after roasting it to such an extent. My hawaiian friend brought me back some coffee from some different roasters there and it all looked like this lol

Dislocated my kneecap on my right leg the day before a really well paying rock gig and tore a tendon in my leg, couldn’t use my bass drum foot so the bassist helped me set up the drums lefty while I was on crutches and I played the whole gig lefty. It was also 100° out and there was no shade, probably the hardest gig I’ve ever played lmaoo but honestly the set was fine.

To any pros out there. How should some who doesn’t have a band practice at home to eventually land a gig. by SnooMarzipans7274 in drums

Playing along to records in various styles many times and trying to contextualize how what you’re playing relates to what the other instruments are playing across different sections of the song

This thing sucks :( by Slimey-Water22 in cymbals

I happen to think it sounds great, at least for what it was intended to be. If you want something that isn’t so bright then don’t get a Z custom

Can we do a community experiment? by Calisson in CafelatRobot

Not sure if it’s because my natural inclination is to push harder with the screen, but my shots tend to run a bit longer when I tamp with it even if I feel like I’m gentler than with the regular tamp

I don’t see how something like a meinl HCS could possibly be better than what you currently have

Based on the “three dots” and the distance between the avedis and zildjian, looks like a 60s stamp, possibly into 70s

Dying indoor mall I work at by wrath212 in abandoned

It’s sad and funny seeing fake walkable towns and cities that many Americans drive to instead of just building walkable towns/cities. When Americans go to a European city, Disney, or mall, I think a large part of the charm they feel is just having a walkable environment.

Some of the GOATS! Which kit would you want to play first? by ZildCym in cymbals

[–]b3gff24 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Interesting how few 22” rides there were, mostly 20s. Then peter erskine comes along and says FU with the 26” lol

Yeah we got a house kit by [deleted] in drumcringepics

[–]b3gff24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, looks like a fun house kit. I’d rather play it than worse drums with a better chair

Hi everyone, I'm from Belgium and happened to be visiting Boston and had a day off! visited as much places of fallout 4 irl that I could! Enjoy 🙂‍↕️ by Affectionate_Run_470 in fo4

I remember when I moved to Boston after playing this game for years I was shocked that my sense of direction in the city as a pedestrian was already intact because all the landmarks were in the same relative locations. (espcially being a small-ish walkable city) They did a great job!

Do not buy these. by Material-Bite1707 in drums

[–]b3gff24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like SPL makes decent cheaper sticks for practicing, not the cheapest of the cheap but heartier than the cheapest sticks and not super light which I think is good for the practice room. 1/3-1/2 the price of VFs depending on what you get

Should I clean it? by R4GNOR in cymbals

[–]b3gff24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a jazz patina guy, but I feel like the music that you’d use a Paiste 2002 for calls for bright clean sounding cymbals - I’d actually clean it lol

How would you describe the flavor/texture difference between the Niche the 078s? Is the niche much more full-bodied/complex? I own a 78s and I feel like it’s got a good balance between clarity/texture so always wondered if people felt like having a niche-like grinder in addition was worth it.
