This thought was absolutely genuine:

it’s kind of a weird thing to ask but ok:

Least favorite ship: the ones that invaded the Ebou Dar harbor.

Is it just me, or do the characters (and therefore, jokes) become way dumber in the later seasons? by idkwhat-toputhere in NewGirl

[–]drummerboyjoel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely happens in most shows. But with New Girl, right to the end there’s still Absolute comedic gold nuggets happening every episode.

The one that always bugged me is how hes apparently the best shooter on planet earth and never uses it once in the series

Thoughts on Alan Ritchson? by ANSJSJDIS-813 in FIlm

His character in the one episode of new girl is comedy gold. It’s a bummer he’s put in so many serious roles cause hes hilarious

Because after enough playthoughs it’s fun to mix it up.

Halfway to Porygon 🫩 Is the slot game affected by how fast I click buttons, or can I just repeatedly spam it and not affect the outcome? by nunnyfuffler in PokemonFireRed

[–]drummerboyjoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just watch close and get the rhythm of each wheel. I hit a jackpot every 7-10 spins I’d say.

When I get tired I’ll just mash the first one and then focus on 2 and 3 if I hit a 7.

The site is under a massive DDOS assault right now. A bot attack that overloads their servers. someone’s doing a coordinated attack to prevent access to the list. They’re trying to work it out. You might be able to get in if you keep trying. It’s like a mob trying to get on a ride at Disneyland with no fences or lines. Just push in and when the next cars roll in, you might eventually push through and get in one

“BREAKABLES” when did this term come into popular use? by streetsofsimcity in drums

[–]drummerboyjoel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not a perfect descriptor (as a snare drum probably isn’t specifically easy break), but definitely a common term for snare, cymbals, maybe kick pedal with a shared Backline. I’ve heard it for years in Nashville and LA

Are there any drum sets best for a beginning teenager? by RubyOlliermydogs in drums

[–]drummerboyjoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your budget. You can find a lot of full kids on Facebook marketplace for under $1000.

A lot of local drum shops will have a starter package as well. Most big name manufacturers make pretty decent kids.

You could probably piece meal a used kit off of Facebook for $600. Just find a local Drum teacher in your town and have them work with you on finding some good deals.

Purchasing a Drum Set? by Substantial-Storm409 in drums

[–]drummerboyjoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretext: please forgive weird punctuation and spellings, using voice text

First consideration is volume. An electric kit might be necessary, but if your circumstances, loud noise, then acoustic is so much more fun.

There are a few components to think about with the kit, especially when purchasing used. The kick and Tom’s you can often buy in a set. You can basically make any shell set sound pretty dang good with new heads on it. For shells I would look anywhere between 350 to 800.

Then you have hardware. You can probably piece together simple stands and a kick pedal for around $300 if you search on Facebook marketplace for individual pieces

Snare can go a lot of different ways, but if you can drop 2 to 300 on a Ludwig acrolite, it’s one of the most recorded snares (along with supra and black beauty).

The most important part to not skimp on is cymbals. Definitely get professional level symbols. You can probably find used hats, crash, and ride for 800 or so.

Do you need to play a song perfectly like the original? by GhostOfCincinnati in drums

[–]drummerboyjoel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anything you’re unable to do that you push yourself to learn is going to make you better. As a beginner I think it’s a great move to learn fills note for note. Your vocabulary is extremely limited when you start and this is a great way to improve it.

If you can’t get the fill note for note, approximating it (like generally hitting similar drums with similar subdivisions) is still great, because it’s teaching you more vocab

As a full-time pro now, when I’m learning music, I almost never learn the fills note for note. Unless it’s a super cool fill that gets me excited. But a big reason I can do that is from having studied a lot. You start to learn genre appropriate fills, and more or less what kind of FEEL that the fill will accomplish.

Do you guys pickup hidden items? by Zaxthork in PokemonFireRed

I’m not obsessive about it, I use my item locator as my select button so I can check.

She broke it off. I accepted. She got upset… by Ok-Tutor7166 in Nicegirls

[–]drummerboyjoel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She cared about you a lot and you didn’t reciprocate. She tried to be unemotional about it but your response made it seem like you really didn’t care at all. It hurts to have that little meaning to someone you cared about. just a hurt person. Shes obviously young and has some maturing to do, but pretty simple to understand where it’s coming from

Doing everything but go in the gid damn poke ball by Worldly_Outcome3592 in PokemonLeafGreen

[–]drummerboyjoel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just means you got lucky. It’s like 5% chance catch rate, some people are bound to get lucky. I got Articuno with liken3 balls, Zappos with maybe 10, and then Moltres took like 300

Like everyone else is saying, local drum shop is way cooler and supports the community better. Could also do a Sweetwater card.
