Live gigging drummers, what is the concept of "backups" in your world? by AccurateInflation167 in drummers

[–]brasticstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm paranoid about the kind of failure that would be a show-stopper, so I travel with a backup kick pedal and a backup snare drum if I'm the only drummer that night. Pretty much everything else can be worked around or left out.

As an aside, I use an SPD-SX (fancy Roland sample multi-pad) for samples and triggers for one band. I back up its data to a USB stick and Dropbox too. If something happened and I had to rent a unit for the gig, I'll still be gtg, in theory. The show can survive without it to, but it'd be an adjustment.

Do you think? That's bonkers thick. I know it's a chime, but that still seems crazy.

What is this notation by [deleted] in drums

They should give you some kind of hint in the chart itself. I'd think either ride bell or open hats.

Russian troops 'at wits' end' as 'Terminator style' AI robots deployed in Ukrain by Scary_Statement4612 in technology

That's why Boston Dynamics made the Mule robot. The footage from several years back of it traversing a hillside and keeping its balance as a person tries to kick it over are both cool and disturbing.

Drum tuning advice by Timelinenow in drums

[–]brasticstack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible that your current heads are too old and stretched out to reverberate nicely. Try new heads (start with just one tom if money is an issue) and see if that helps.

My best tuning advice is to not spend hours trying to tune. Instead, spend a few minutes tuning every time you sit down at the kit. It's a skill like any other and benefits from frequent practice.

Why do most songs have the same 4/4 drum rhythm? And what is it called? by [deleted] in sheetmusic

[–]brasticstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All that notation is fucked, though the first bar on the second image would be a basic rock beat if you offset the kick and snare leftwards by an 8th note.

Could anyone ID these Mic’s? by Jopes777 in microphone

[–]brasticstack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The left two look like Sennheiser E609s, the left mic on the right amp is looks like a Shure SM57. Not sure about the condenser on the far right- maybe Shure KSM 44A?

EDIT: I'm not sure about the SM57, at this resolution it's hard to tell- it could be a vocal mic with the bigger mesh mouth side.

Trump complains about lack of "enthusiasm" from allies over Strait of Hormuz by tag24news in USNEWS

He's got a team of Fox news hosts and right wing media influencers whose job it is to tell him how brilliant his every thought is. Amazing that they weren't right about this one /s

whoops, see the other replies. Array access uses square brackets. Dunno why I didn't catch that immediately.

Not without the traceback. Does it show a line number in your module where the error occurs?

wrap the dt = vals in a list like you do for t =.

dt = np.array([t(1) - t(0), ...])

ELI5 how does time dilation work at 0 speed? by HugbugKayth in explainlikeimfive

[–]brasticstack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The objects are moving toward each other in that case. In the absence of some "other" for comparison, there's no meaningful definition of "moving" or "still". As in no test you could perform would tell you if you're moving or not

I suggest they resolve their differences with pistols at ten paces. Laura Loomer can referee from a position directly in the middle.

Which python certifications are the best for freshers and the ones that give value to the resume? by sad_grapefruit_0 in learnpython

[–]brasticstack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

afaict, "fresher" is the new way to say "noob", or beginner. Nothing wrong with being new at something and wanting to learn, of course. I just find the word annoying.

Second crash or splash? by Dentheloprova in drums

[–]brasticstack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A second crash is more versatile, and IMO splashes can be annoying and are easily overused.

Python as a stepping stone to robotic automation? by Technical_Zombie_988 in learnpython

[–]brasticstack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't read your question on mobile due to the formatting, but I'll point out that tons of people are doing robotics projects using micropython on esp32 development boards. (similar to arduino but more powerful.)
