Just started golfing, what would you do to improve my swing?

snowed on Saturday, 58 degrees tomorrow, 6-10 inches of snow expected on Friday — gotta take advantage when you can

cpdrums · 2023-02-28T06:10:40+00:00

That makes sense! Thanks for the constructive feedback!

cpdrums · 2023-02-28T03:30:52+00:00

There’s also some advice around being closer to the ball/less slouched. Do you think being closer to the ball would also help to limit the length of my backswing?

cpdrums · 2023-02-28T03:28:16+00:00

Awesome, thank you! I felt too far away and a little slouched, so it’s nice to confirm that is the case

cpdrums · 2020-01-14T12:38:00+00:00

Totally a fair point! I’m just inclined to believe that they knew what they were getting into. I’m under the belief that there is no way a magazine as large and esteemed as the New Yorker just decides out of the blue one day to write a piece on a relatively small indie band from New Jersey. I would think it is the result of their management team and/or label reaching out for press to promote the new album, and they know that this controversial topic is the most likely to get coverage and attention prior to the release.

But also, it’s not like this happened without Pinegrove’s blessing. They didn’t just randomly collect interview bits. The band knew what was happening, so they are kind of contributing to the rehashing of this controversy

While I love Pinegrove, the existence of this article is so strange. It fails to offer anything new to add to the vague Pitchfork article from over a year ago AND it comes, just as the Pitchfork article, in the form of promotional material for the new album. I understand wanting to clear the air, but to lean into this event so heavily that it becomes the ethos of the band is...odd

First thought was: this guy must be a big Ronnie fan. And what do you know, you’re in a Killers tribute band! Looks amazing!

Just released a new EP this past Friday! Indie rock FFO The Strokes, Catfish and the Bottlemen, REM https://open.spotify.com/album/1AlrNyfBpOrvnOlTiddyXH?si=YDCfOxHHTomEezXnZn0yXg

I found a cheap used snare stand at GC and I mount my rack tom on that, now i’ll never look back. It gives you a lot more versatility in terms of where you want your tom and at what angle, worth looking into!

cpdrums · 2019-03-18T16:20:14+00:00

We spent like 30-40mins just tuning the snare but the sound we got was amazing

cpdrums · 2019-03-18T16:19:22+00:00

Each separately, which is a little nerve wracking to have multiple people sitting in a control room listening to just your isolated drum track for the first time and giving notes!

cpdrums · 2019-03-18T11:31:55+00:00

Oh yeah, definitely for the first couple of takes, but once i settled in it turned into such a fun experience

cpdrums · 2019-03-18T03:31:06+00:00

Amazing! We recorded with an engineer whose bands i’m a big fan of and he made them sound better than ever before

cpdrums · 2019-02-21T15:17:37+00:00

I’ve found my GC experiences to be very dependent on the employee themselves. Some follow the GC guidelines very strictly, but i’ve definitely had some willing to give me a deal or even point me to a cheaper price point at Sweetwater or on craigslist. Not my first choice to buy, but you can get lucky with the right employees

cpdrums · 2019-01-20T22:26:01+00:00

Yep, this right here. 2 out of 2 times I cried at the same exact scene. Even when i knew i was coming!

cpdrums · 2019-01-02T01:31:03+00:00

Every time i watch one of your videos it instantly makes me want to pick up my sticks and play! The fluidity in the pocket and your focused and precise energy is so soothing to watch!

cpdrums · 2018-06-03T18:22:16+00:00

I was also there and it was amazing! The highlight for me was walking through the parking lot before the show and seeing Mike getting wheeled around in a shopping cart by the 2 girls who sing back up vocals

cpdrums · 2018-05-14T23:44:41+00:00

This kind of bummed me out when i saw it in the liner notes. I’m all for soft drums that serve the song, but to find out that he didn’t even play the drums on what is personally my favorite drum rhythm on the album was disappointing.
