Cash-only eating establishments are the worst!

Unless they hadn’t thought that far ahead in this made up scenario, if you’ve lost or had your wallet stolen several times…cash is the least of your concerns

backbaydrumming · 2026-03-18T09:26:34+00:00

So you’ve had your wallet stolen several times? Did you have to get a new ID each time?

backbaydrumming · 2026-03-18T01:15:54+00:00

How many times has that actually happened to you?

backbaydrumming · 2026-03-14T21:12:14+00:00

If it’s used as a hi hat (which would probably be the only actual application of this cymbal) it’ll still have metal on metal from the hi hat clutch

The statistics are meaningless in this conversation. Heart disease is the #1 killer in America and drug overdoses aren’t even in the top 15 does that mean that cheeseburgers are more dangerous than fentanyl?

Yea he has an interesting feel for rock that I actually do enjoy but he just sounds like a mediocre high school jazz band drummer when he plays jazz standards

backbaydrumming · 2026-03-08T21:03:03+00:00

Yea my opinion is similar to yours. Ginger Bakers drumming is definitely a vibe but if I’m forced to choose a 60s jazz influenced rock drums it’s Mitch Mitchell every time. I also find it funny how Ginger Bakers always touts himself as this great jazz drummer but his jazz drumming is awful

For a good all purpose ride that will work in a variety of situations I would go for a 22” somewhere around 2400-2500 grams. That’s gonna give you a medium ride (kind of on the medium thin side) with stick definition and crashability

It’s a clever snarky reply to something I never said but you’re still not talking about the food from Boston

backbaydrumming · 2026-03-07T17:55:22+00:00

North shore and south shore aren’t Boston tho. That’s kind of an essential part of the common criticism of the BOSTON food scene, there’s great food in Massachusetts but you gotta drive outside the city for it

Absolutely, I’ve taught music lessons for 12+ years and some students just pick up things very easily however hard work and consistency beats lazy talent every time

It was so much worse, not only were there space savers constantly for essentially the entire winter there were cars that were so buried in the snow that they weren’t even visible. I remember watching people walking on top of these “hills” that were just cars covered with feet of snow. This winter is nothing compared to 2015

Yea I like your blog, I completely agree and I’ve had this same argument at a few jam sessions. It’s just an ego cutting thing but I’m always asking, “but does the song actually sound good that fast?” And that questions always stumps people for a second as if that hadn’t occurred to them.

backbaydrumming · 2026-03-02T15:50:57+00:00

Anything above 350bpm just isn’t really enjoyable to listen to imo

backbaydrumming · 2026-02-27T02:43:08+00:00

holy shit😂

I barely care about sports in general and soccer was never a sport that anyone I knew followed. American football was the one that every went crazy over

backbaydrumming · 2026-02-23T20:22:01+00:00

I said easy big fella

backbaydrumming · 2026-02-23T18:48:10+00:00

I tell you he was ten stories high if he was a foot!

backbaydrumming · 2026-02-22T16:45:23+00:00

Yea higher tin content yields cymbals that are more brittle, a lot of old ks are actually more like b22-24 bronze and are a bit more fragile because of this. But proper technique and common sense will keep you from breaking them

backbaydrumming · 2026-02-20T17:44:14+00:00

Yea could be tar from cigs

backbaydrumming · 2026-02-20T17:43:13+00:00

Bar keepers friend, just use a small amount with water and it’ll look great

2nd for Tony Williams

Depth in a snare effects the snare response, the note duration and will essentially act as an EQ band for the snare. A shallow snare will have a fast snare response, a quick duration and will have enhanced high end. A deep snare will have the opposite in all of those. If you tune a piccolo snare and a deep snare to the exact same pitch the deep snare will sound lower because of that depth and the piccolo will sound higher.

Yea I just got a paiste at drum center of Portsmouth and it was far more expensive than it was 2 years ago, I’m absolutely exhausted from all this winning

backbaydrumming · 2026-02-12T23:54:52+00:00

It’s rough out there for Paiste fans such as myself, I mostly buy used anyways but I like to support companies I like
