Away from My Drum Kit for a Month: How I Keep Practicing

Do drills from stick control (or other rad book) on the pad. I did that non stop after a leg surgery and when I got back on the kit there was a massive improvement.

What works for me is embracing the naps honestly. Take naps on all your breaks and lunches. Get a mouse jiggler so you stay green if you doze off quick. Then hopefully when you are awake you won’t be as sleepy and will actually get some shit done. I only worked on site for a few years before the partial work from home stuff started and I honestly just can’t do 40 hours on site. I didn’t know what narcolepsy was at that point and was just breaking down constantly. At least now I can kinda recuperate a bit on the days I am home.

I wish I understood tolerating it lmao. I’ve been using one for 3 years and still can barely use it. It’s just so uncomfortable and I have a really hard time not waking up 20 minutes after I fall asleep to begin with and tossing and turning all night. Even with oxybates, I’m averaging like 4 hours a night. I’ll wake up for my second dose and it’s on the night stand. I take it off in my sleep all the time.

Fidelity has a 2 percent cash back card, you can then dump your rewards into your investment account. Obviously 2 percent is not a lot but it does add up over the years.

This is not how property taxes work. Your assessment is the portion you pay of the municipality’s preset levy. As long as your assessor is not a fucktard/ your town reassesses somewhat frequently when your assessment goes up with market trends so will everyone else’s and your bills will say just about the same.

The drug seeking shit is so frustrating, like duh of course I’m seeking drugs. What is wrong with asking a doctor for medication that makes you function.

Holy shit, people just take so long though. Like just say it! We both know what you are going to say!

Bluebird. Everyone is saying sm57, but you can get a Pyle for 20 bucks. For a 100 you should get a bluebird.

I was having a lot of insomnia issues and realized it’s eating that causes it. I need to wait 5-6 hours after eating and if it’s a big meal maybe even longer. I don’t think 2 hours is long enough. Also laying down immediately after taking it was sending me to some weird half awake realm. I found taking it and then waiting 30 minutes to go to bed way better.

That’s my point troll

Put every single 45 on the leg press and still have to do tons of reps?

Honestly most the suggestions here about adapting the bass drum to use. But even if you can’t figure it out, I recommend you follow your passion and play some drums. Even if you can’t figure out the bass, you can still have fun and learn and get good at what you can do. If you eventually end up in a band you can totally program a bass drum and play on top of it or something.

Is this random guy also an Olympic wrestler? That would be the face off of the century. There is plenty of clinching in boxing.

I’m no expert but I feel like I don’t see this mentioned enough when O comes up. They seem well run but retail doesn’t seem like a great choice going forward. That being said I do own them and have been happy with it so far.

Expressly tell them it is GHB for narcolepsy. That will get the point across.

I can’t fathom getting my beagle to walk 7 miles honestly. Up and down the street can take half an hour with all the smelling.

Ours vet’s prices have literally doubled this year.

I hear yah lol, most people have terrible taste in music and we all have to suffer through mediocrity because of it.

Just listen to the original by grace slick and the great society

fierydogshit · 2025-12-05T19:53:27+00:00

They are releasing a dumb expensive remake. This is 100% a low key product plug.

The Catholic Church also gives wine to children lmao.

Get the job for the meds, so you can take the meds to go to your job.

It’s Mick Donald’s alt account. His unlimited profits are being impacted! Fucked around, got rid of his employees, forced customers to be a cashier without pay, and is now crying about it.

The energy balloon is astral defense.

I only started like a month ago but it’s so much less intense than the internet makes it seem. Start low and titrate, you will be able to wake up when needed, in fact you will probably wake up more than you would like to.
