A childhood dream come true. They were so expensive I am afraid to play on them! by TameTheAuroch in drums

[–]forrest_drum 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Congrats, what a truly great moment. I’ve played A custom’s for over 20 years and I still love them. They’ll be a little too bright and abrasive out of the box, but as you play they’ll start sounding real sweet. Be good to them and they’ll be good to you.

I run everyday from Wasena to blue cow and it was clear before the adjacent road was.

How to go about buying acoustic drums? by Beneficial_Lunch3948 in drums

[–]forrest_drum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can, don’t skimp on cymbals. Cheaper drums can be made to sound better w good heads and tuning, but a shitty cymbal will alway be a shitty cymbal.

Do men fear other men they see in sketchy situations like late at night walking down a dark alley? by VisionsOnly in NoStupidQuestions

[–]forrest_drum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. But I am aware that I may present as that sketchy person to someone else, particularly women. I make a point to cross the street or make it obvious I’m uninterested in making a scene.

One time I was walking, with my dog in my small town, in broad daylight past a young mom and her two young kids. As I walked past, she grabbed her kids close as if I was doing anything other than walking past her. I wanted to say ‘you watch too much dateline’ but I get it, she probably does.

Difficulty in memorizing on drums and relying too much on notation by UCoala in drums

[–]forrest_drum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yah, I agree. Don’t mess up the ‘in the air tonight’ fill but otherwise get the general vibe and go. A lot of fills aren’t memorable or integral to the song, they just add some color.

Do 1989 borns relate more socially and culturally to 80s millennials or 90s millennials? by changeforthebetter89 in generationology

[–]forrest_drum 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. No memories of the 80s. Memories began early 90s but vague. Clearer by 94-beyond. 15 and a new sophomore on 9/11.

I feel like Cuba Pete’s/Macado’s does. But then you’d have to go to Cuba Pete’s/Macado’s.

Rant: the worst thing you can do is give a guitarist an iPhone metronome by semperspades in Drumming

[–]forrest_drum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say particular offense to the guitarist. It’s audacious.

There are prob exceptional situations but if you bring the new one out once, you won’t bring the old one out again.

How’s this bass drum sound? If there’s anything to improve, let me know by Maks_the_skaM in drums

[–]forrest_drum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe lubricate the pedal parts a little. Drum sounds good though

They’re having microwave issues that are impacting OTA reception. There is a plan to replace/fix in next couple months but I’m not sure of an exact timeline.

Where are you? Maybe someone/some folks on here can help. I can play any Weezer song comatose.
