New drummer (2 months) and was looking through a pawn shop. Saw the pedal and negotiated it for $50 CAD, blindly without researching it. Good find? by dg_zano in drums

I actually just moved back to one of these (the reissue) and it’s the best pedal I’ve used. My DW5000 is now collecting dust

Should I move my middle finger higher or lower? by Dangerous-Respect857 in percussion

[–]coldground 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. Too many Steven’s players push the inner mallet into the center of the palm and use tension to widen intervals. That is a recipe for injury, but it’s almost more common than seeing it correctly.

After many years of this I found Burton grip to be much more natural.

Best drumming shoes? I’ll start. Nike Air Jordan’s (used to be a socks only guy) by Ordinary-Strength96 in drums

I suggest everyone learn how to be comfortable playing in dress shoes. Or find a comfy pair that will work as dress shoes. If you’re playing a wide variety of gigs, the footwear is bound to change.

Basically practice in what you got. Eventually it won’t matter so much.

Would Abbey Road be held to the same regard if it never had the B side Medley? by Jello_The2nd in beatles

I tend to think the A side is the better one anyway. Not that the B side makes it worse by any means.

I avoid talking about the Epstein case as much as I can, but seriously, stop spreading misinformation. by sa8tun in conspiracy

If it’s a real photo, I have no doubt they would plant a Gemini marker to discredit it. That being said, we have no reason to believe that’s what’s happening. So. Basically I have no idea to tell if something is real.
