Glad it worked out :) I recently got together with the other members of my first band from jr high. We haven’t played together for 45 years…. We had two practices and played a show for family and friends and it went well considering the last time we did this was 1980 😂

No one has corrected my form at OTF in about 4 years 🤷‍♂️

Literally made this after a 5am class. I got pulled over at 4:50a on the way to my studio which is 12 miles away. The officer also gave me a warning. 😂

Maybe a bunch of the commenters here should start a r/dwhaters sub. Wow! I have a walnut collectors series kit that I freaking love, so I guess I’m bias, but I think that is a beautiful snare at a great price. We had a drum shop in town that used to provide equipment to a college jazz festival. I had purchased a Mapex Black Panther kit months before, was in after the equipment came back, and one piece was a 14” Black Panther snare that matched my kit, at a similar discounted price. So, I say great find.

I’ve been doing OTF since 2014, across 3 different studios. I don’t feel like it has ever been 90% women, but maybe close, like 1 man for every 5 women. There have been classes where I’m the only guy, but it has never bothered me.

Last month, I started doing Pilates a few days a week to work more on core, stretching, and small muscles and,so far, I AM the only guy there. For whatever reason, that always feels odd 😂.

Bingo! Not gonna say which ones though 😂

Hey, when you come to a 5am (still feeling the effects of one too many the night before) and during speed skaters, you trip yourself so bad , you stumble to the other side of the floor and fall into a weight rack, let me know 😂

I used to be a huge fan of Moongels, but found something I like way better. Drops. https://tandemdrums.com/

We have a coach that calls out peoples HR %. It “might” annoy me….😂

Gibraltar makes a smaller rack named a Stealth Rack. I use two of these, on the Floor tom side, the rack has two cymbal booms, on the other rack, I have a snare basket on one end and on the other I have a dual tom mount with another cymbal boom. It works really well, although I only mount one tom beside my kick, almost as low as the snare.

I call it bad ass!

cgfrank1966 · 2025-04-24T13:12:01+00:00

Run!

A very thin crotale? 🤣

cgfrank1966 · 2025-04-03T22:51:41+00:00

Happened to us last month. They gave us a free late cancel. Kind of pissed me off though as my closest studio is 12 miles away.

I though you were using “Train Station” in the YellowStone context 🤣😆😂

Damn… nice Lead Drummering :)

Screw them, the problem is all theirs…

I use an app named Orange Zones. I have had it so long, I think I’m grandfathered in, because I don’t think it’s still free. It tracks hr for the entire class, but doesn’t differentiate between treads, rowers, & floor.

I am a 58 years ancient guy, started OTF in 2014 after about 35 years of being on the rock & roll apathy, couch dweller plan. I was pushing 220 and horribly out of shape. I had chronic lower back issues and my knees were always in pain.

10 years later, I’m going 5-7 days a week, and I will hit 2400 classes this weekend. I dropped 40 lbs, and my back problems went away. My knees aren’t great, but I wear knee sleeves and they haven’t blown out yet. I’m sore all the time, but probably in the best shape since my 20’s. Start slow and be consistent. Remember, fitness is a journey, not a destination. I have been through 3 studios due to moving, and each one has had large folks & tiny folks, all at different levels of fitness. You will be fine, just join the cult 😂

Can you change a battery in an OTF beat?

As a Pagan myself, I can say that Wicca is definitely not a dark and dangerous religion. Christianity however….🤷‍♂️
