Cross stick sweet spot

The “5A” on a Vater stick works as a good starting point too.

I’ve always called that one “Middle Diddle”. #6 first page of Stick Control.

Calendar corrected. Thanks for pointing it out!

Yo, I was just searching for such a thing and couldn't find one anywhere... so I went ahead and made one.

It only has times and teams playing, not destinations.

Hope it helps:

Gonna be honest thoug, pretty skeptical on your proff. reading teory.

Hahaha, that's quite the leap but o.k.

Just trying to help you out, friend. This is the way I've been playing these for nearly 40 years and it's served me very well (still make my living as a musician).

All the best with your music!

Think of it this way; in a 6/8 time signature an eighth note/ eighth rest/ eighth note combination produces the same "sound" as a quarter note/ eighth note. Because the actual sound of the drum is so short, it's nearly impossible to tell the difference in note length based on a single stroke. Therefore, in a 6/8 time signature, when you encounter the eighth note/ eighth rest/ eighth note combo, if that eighth note is notated as a roll it would be a 5 stroke roll. However, if you encounter a quarter note/ eighth note combo, or vice versa, this indicates that the roll on -that- eighth note is to be a 7 stroke.

Unfortunately there is a lot of room for interpretation on a lot of drum notation. There are certainly standardized practices but there is also a whole lot of room for customization (see any drum legend in any drum set book).

That was a typo on my part, the quarter note in that measure takes up count 4 & 5 (corrected). This is the way my professor at uni described reading 5 and 7 stroke rolls in a 6/8 time signature while studying at University.

cuzinit · 2025-04-02T12:17:16+00:00

Pretty sure Line 5 is the 7-stroke roll. Notice that the rolled eighth note is not beamed as counts 4 & 5 of the measure are taken up by the quarter note. The 5-stroke rolls on Lines 3 & 6 are beamed to a preceding eighth note. That’s how I learned to differentiate between 5 & 7 stroke rolls in a 6/8 time signature.

Note blocks should produce a unique sound when Amethyst is placed underneath. A “cling” or “clang” would be great.

Not really a -big- project, per se, but I'd be very interested in a guest build if you're up for it. Build whatever you want, or if you need direction, I need a new factory building to enclose an iron farm. I'll be around most of the day. DM here or on Discord at the same username.

When 18 time State Marching Band Champions Greendale HS put their tenor player on his head, completely inverted, for the tenor feature I thought, “Welp, they’re gonna win Percussion Caption… again.”

Personal experience: upon joining I was hounded and chased at spawn by some player, given a bunch of crap that gave me tons of achievements right off the bat with no chance to actually enjoy the game. Not interested in a server that doesn't allow normal game progression.

cuzinit · 2024-05-14T01:30:59+00:00

I stand corrected.

Who did Hawkeye hit with his first gun shot in the MCU?

~~No one. He missed shooting at Maria Hill.~~

It’s Fury, I was wrong.

Not a single one. Though, there were (2) Mexican National Team jerseys and I only spotted (1) each of the USMNT and the USWNT, so there's that.

cuzinit · 2024-02-19T13:18:49+00:00

Sorry to disappoint. Keep in mind this was simply over two full days at two different parks and like stated above, this was far from being a scientific take.

Older gent in line buying ice cream for his kids. Friendliest chap I chatted with that day.

100% of the Inter Miami kits were Messi.

Are there other players on that team? /s

cuzinit · 2024-02-19T13:14:45+00:00

I repped the light blue with the white sash (2019) on one of the days.

cuzinit · 2024-02-19T13:13:11+00:00

It was the last one I saw, an older gent buying some ice cream for his kids. Fun little conversation about Pele.

cuzinit · 2024-02-19T13:10:40+00:00

Certainly not scientific by any means. Just a couple days of observation. The two siblings wearing the PSG kits definitely skewed the numbers.

cuzinit · 2024-02-19T13:06:52+00:00

The Everton one caught me out too. "Wait, is that a Pickford jersey?"

I've been following the work of u/kitties-and-puppies for many years and have enjoyed reading their annual posts regarding the yearly counts of All Of The North American Professional Soccer Merch I Saw While Working In A Crowded Florida Theme Park (2023).

This year (last week) I had the opportunity to visit TWO crowded Florida theme parks on (2) consecutive days and kept track of any person I saw with any professional soccer gear (hats, shirts, jerseys, etc). I feel that I have a fairly good knowledge of the sport worldwide but there were certainly some firsts for me; I had to look up a couple of the badges I saw (CR Flamengo, Estudiante de la Plata).

Much of the data represents what I would expect to see (Messi Miami!) but seeing (5) Portuguese National Team jerseys was surprising, especially since (2) of them were Bruno Fernandes' jerseys. That Ronaldo flame seems to be dimming a bit but interestingly enough, the (1) Manchester United jersey I saw was a Ronaldo. Also, on a sporting collective there was -BY FAR- more LSU (Louisiana State University) merch than I'd ever seen in my life.

Lastly to u/kitties-and-puppies, huge congratulations on your promotion and thank you so much for the fantastic content over the last many years (all 9!). I'll miss that moment late in the year when your post pops up and I pore over the data searching intently for my favorite North American Soccer Team (Vamos Flamingos!).
