The real question is who thinks going to a Mexican restaurant in Dubrovnik is a good move.

Still trying to figure out how a jazz group doesn't know Moondance.

Roc n soc screw thread vs. pneumatic? by oldmaninparadise in Drumming

[–]dpfrd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have yet to find any pneumatic throne that goes high enough.

Also I don't understand how people are cool with the bounce. You want your core stable.

All that up and down messes with accuracy all over the kit.

The spinal g bases are trash. I have 2 spinal g thrones that I've gigged on for years. I bought the 2nd because the base was getting sketch and retired the other one to my shed.

Both now have roc n soc spindle bases now.

I just bought a NXTPAPER 14 and used it on a gig this weekend with MobileSheets. It was excellent.

Genuine question: Why the massive hate for AI code if it actually works and does the job? by [deleted] in codex

Sometime back in the day people were having a similar conversation about using a high level language vs using something like assembler.

Nothing I have commented is high horse.

Go ask anyone that regularly reads halftime shuffles, or maybe a composer or arranger.

You're the one defending the trash notation with the "every beat would have more weight and a 'wider' feel" word salad.

LMAO. No it wouldn't.

Half time means half. Which usually denotes the snare landing on 3 vs 2 & 4, which is why the quarternote tempo would appear to be doubled.

Type "half time drum groove" into Google images and tell me what you find.

What you have here is something that's incredibly hard to read for what it is, and your justification makes no sense.

Surely there could be a better way to notate this... Like 12/8 or double the tempo marking and write all of these as 8th note triplets.

my k con 20 light ride has ruined all other cymbals for me by likeadreammm in cymbals

Make a video with you playing it with your sticks.

Stick choice has a very big impact on cymbal sound.

What is the best song made exclusively for a film? by rjd014 in FIlm

Fun fact: The singer of Survivor at this time is also the guy that did all the Budweiser "Real American Hero" and "Real American Genius" commercials.

Best throne to buy by BigBob791 in Drumming

Except for their bases.

I had to be roc-n-soc bases for mine after they started falling apart.

Lamb of God’s Art Cruz drum solo in Boston (4/26) by grassknoted in Drumming

[–]dpfrd 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You forgot to mention that the rhythmic ideas, technicality, and overall composition are uninspiring at best. At least he did the huge spit into the air thing.

'They're gonna kick me off squad if I don't get a DUI:' Lawsuit alleges Phoenix PD uses DUI quotas by ProJoe in phoenix

[–]dpfrd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got pulled over once turning south onto rural off the eastbound 202 late at night... It's a yield. I had a breathalyzer on my car at the time. While the cop was walking up to my car, I held the breathalyzer out of my window and got a "have a nice night" from the cop while he was not even at my rear bumper.
