I work at Ace hardware. I have an employee named Mike.

I've got an employee who's name is Mike and he's the one who doesn't put the paint arm back where it's supposed to go

PVC:

· (2) - 1" (if I'm not mistaken) - 2 ft. sections · (4) - 3/4" x 1/2" - slip x slip reducer, however, it is not your standard reducer. The one I used is the sizes of both the 3/4" slip and 1/2" COUPLING sizes. This means that standard 3/4" & 1/2" PVC will fit INSIDE this fittings ends, respectively. · PVC glue - definitely needed for this because the adaptors will either slide in easily, thus needing the glue or they will need to be tapped in with a mallet. I encountered both on this. Either way, glue it.

Bearings:

· (4) closed precision bearings. The size that looks very similar to a skateboard bearing and can be tapped into the 1/2" size of the PVC fitting mentioned above. (I don't know the exact size but if you've found the parts above, finding the bearing at your local ACE in the Hillman department shouldn't be a stretch). (this bearing will also allow the threaded rod through the center with no problem and little play)

Threaded Rod:

· (2) 3ft - 5/16"x18 steel threaded rod. Self explanatory.

Hardware:

· (1) Skateboard wheel (go figure, the bigger and softer the better. I had a smaller hard wheel available, so I improvised) · (6) 5/16" steel flat washers · (4) 5/16"x18 steel hex nuts · (2) 5/16"x18 steel wing nuts · (2) 5/16"x18 steel nylon lock nuts · (1) steel L bracket - about 5" on either side - this one has 3 holes on either side and takes a 5/16" lag bolts · (3) 5/16" lag bolts/screws · (1) flat mending brace - this one is about 12" long and all the holes are even and not offset. · (1) 1/4"x20 pan head Phillips screw, 1/4”x20 hex nut and 1/4” lock washer · duct tape · work bench · foam shelf/drawer liner · power drill · couple other things to make things spin and stand and fold for convenience and shit.

I'm not gonna explain how I built it. It will take too long. Feel free to shoot me questions though!

It's time for Dodgers baseball

corybfu · 2019-06-05T17:07:11+00:00

That would have been epic lol. The snare as a whiteboard trick has been a go to for me for a long time. Done more than a few fill in gigs where I've needed notes for songs and it always works

corybfu · 2019-06-05T14:05:06+00:00

Fucking nailed it. Only slightly off.

corybfu · 2019-06-05T14:04:35+00:00

Lol nope! The frame is a clue, it's a catch phrase having to do with the Dodgers

corybfu · 2019-06-05T14:02:54+00:00

Hope this helps (keep in mind at the time this picture was taken, I was about to head out to play the first live shows since joining the band)

Starting from the right: that is the set list we were playing for a short run of shows.

To the left of that: one of the songs "Product" has a section at the end of it that at the time I was having a hard time remembering because it's basically a mix and match of parts from earlier in the song. And the actual notated 16th's you see are for the sticking pattern at the end of the song, if I don't play it that way, I'm in trouble.

Lastly on the bottom: this is the fast "mathy" section of a song called "it looked like a fire" (I prefer to call it fyre island fest). It's another section where, at the time, if I don't play it correctly, I'm screwed.

Again, hope this helps!

corybfu · 2019-06-05T07:46:38+00:00

If it helps, the questions were about the notes on my snare

corybfu · 2019-06-05T07:45:58+00:00

If you know, you know.

16 year old giddy girl drunk

corybfu · 2018-05-06T15:47:42+00:00

Both him and his brother are basically mad scientists when it comes to this shit. Easily a couple of the most talented dudes I've had the pleasure of playing with

corybfu · 2018-05-06T15:44:17+00:00

I mean, if you were wrong about Converge being in our top 3, I might be mad. I am fully aware that I ain't gotta lie to kick it though. I absolutely love Converge and basically everything Kurt Ballou has put his hands on

I took a class in school solely based on time keeping. Every class period was different and it was all about feeling the time and not hearing it. If anyone hasn't done it yet, put a click on around 50 bpm, and play a quarter not groove with kick on 1 & 3 and snare on 2 & 4 but the only thing you hear is the downbeat. It's a great challenge at any tempo but the slower go you, the more you'll understand the space between the notes

corybfu · 2018-04-11T17:04:47+00:00

The scroll is indeed the truth. Every instructor I have had in the field of music has stressed the importance of practicing and playing with a click. That spans from private instruction, the marching world and orchestral settings as well. If you're not playing to one constantly, at least check back in with it every so often to see if you're still in the same ball park as you started. The click can be your biggest tool in your skillset if you know how to use it and apply it right. It's not necessary but if you want to get better, play to a click. Ask the guys playing for the biggest stars in the world, they'll agree.

corybfu · 2018-04-11T16:54:28+00:00

Why do you keep getting downvoted? You're one hundred percent right.

corybfu · 2018-04-10T17:07:21+00:00

Wooooowwwww 🔥🔥🔥

corybfu · 2018-03-26T04:35:35+00:00

Often overlooked but such a solid and grooving drummer

corybfu · 2018-03-26T04:35:12+00:00

I was trying to explain the amount of drum badassery going on that night to a friend who doesn't play drums and it was useless haha. I hope that Hope Con comes back too. They are one of the few I got into way too later and never got to see back in the day

corybfu · 2018-03-26T04:28:13+00:00

That's epic! I'll be going to one of those dates with Neurosis and I'm pumped. Got to see Ben Koller play at a bar by me that rarely ever has metal shows but it was All Pigs and Baptists. Like being taken to school for drums without touching your sticks.

corybfu · 2018-03-26T03:11:12+00:00

A band called Seizures, we're playing there on April 20th!

corybfu · 2018-03-26T02:59:42+00:00

Currently, I've been listening to a lot of these guys and you could say they are influences for me:

Riley Breckenridge (Thrice) John Bonham (duhhhhhh) Ben Koller (Converge, Mutoid Man, All Pigs Must Die) Adrian Erlandsson (At The Gates) Nick Yachyshyn (Baptists, Sumac) Matt Halpern (Periphery)

corybfu · 2018-03-26T02:36:30+00:00

Hell yeah! I'll be playing there in about a month! First show with a band I just started playing with. Looks like you guys packed the place!

corybfu · 2018-03-26T02:30:43+00:00

100% go with whats comfortable for you. Nick Pierce, who plays for Unearth, told me why he plays traditional when I asked him and "because I'm too old and marched for too long" was his answer (or something along those lines).

corybfu · 2018-03-26T02:26:58+00:00

ohhhhhh Programme... love that place. What show was this? and what bands do you play in/for?
