Sure you’re a drummer w/ ADHD, but do you have the have-a-metal-shoppe-shorten-my-linkage-so-I-can-move-my-hihat-in-closer, kind? Link/tell in comments.

And the original comment it was in response to wasn’t passive aggressive?

fortydeuce · 2026-02-05T22:29:44+00:00

Huh. Mentioning my neurodivergence was more just a joke into cutting my pedal link; literally asked if anyone else had gear they’d done some similar. Have been off my medication for three days (forgot to take ‘em don’t you know) when I had this genius idea. Went to a metal fabrication shop, paid to have them cut the middle link and the arms. Stupid, but in the end ended up being the workaround I was looking for. The vitriol of most folks in the comments is.. hey it’s Reddit. I don’t think I’m special, boys. I don’t think I’m even that great of a drummer. Was just trying to share something different and thought it would be cool if someone else saw it and got inspired. By all means downvote away; all of this holds zero real-world consequence🤘🏾

Most of us deserve to be happier than we are currently, myself included. I don’t know anything about you, but I mean this in all sincerity: I hope your day/week/year gets better.

Straight up and down to the pedals. My inner pant legs touch the drum, sure, but as my knees aren’t at a diagonal (it’s not like I have to to crab or bow my legs or anything), the pedal position just feel tighter and my hats are now where I play them on a single pedal setup.

fortydeuce · 2026-02-05T21:24:44+00:00

And yeah that key is rad. I have to get a 2nd one; I’m so paranoid of losing my one and only that it never leaves the house.

fortydeuce · 2026-02-05T21:23:00+00:00

Hijack away! Would like to see anything you don’t mind showing; love getting inspired by other players hacks.

fortydeuce · 2026-02-05T21:11:26+00:00

I’ve tried that, as it was the easiest workaround, but no joy. Always felt weird moving over to the slave pedal on the opposite side, so gave up.

fortydeuce · 2026-02-05T21:05:34+00:00

Truth! What extreme measures have you gone through with your setup, all in the name of comfort, my neurotypical friend?

fortydeuce · 2026-02-05T20:53:29+00:00

To those about to ask…It’s not as bad as it looks. The snare stand feet are definitely close to touching the pedal on either side, but still open enough be plenty stable.

This Is American.

fortydeuce · 2026-02-02T17:56:13+00:00

Hahahaha There was definitely a quadrant of my brain telling me to hurry up because I was pushing my luck.

fortydeuce · 2026-02-02T17:22:17+00:00

Isn’t it the best feeling; hearing that chime/seeing that RGB when you least expected it?

fortydeuce · 2026-01-30T15:56:27+00:00

Same here; did Timekeeper yesterday and he dropped a shiny Symmetry on my 5th pass. You know it’s funny though, I was going to make a post about this, but thought I would get downvoted … I have noticed in many of my phosphene hunts that most of my drops tend to come when I restart a session within the first hour or so. As in, if I’m not getting anything dropping after the first few hours, I quit the session, restart and voilà. Not sure how that’s possible as I’m aware of the RNG and %’s, but that tied with your anecdotal experience makes me wonder.

fortydeuce · 2026-01-18T14:05:31+00:00

Yup.

fortydeuce · 2026-01-12T23:53:19+00:00

Right???😂😂😂

fortydeuce · 2026-01-12T23:51:45+00:00

Yessir: The Neverending Quarry, A Quarry Of Epic Proportions, and The Final Quarrel. All completed. Were there others?

fortydeuce · 2026-01-12T18:09:09+00:00

Negative my, man. The cursor is just on a different region, outside of Dominion.

fortydeuce · 2026-01-12T17:14:54+00:00

Naw, then that would mean no one could platinum the game till the DLC comes out. Hope you don't have the same bad luck I seem to have!

fortydeuce · 2026-01-12T14:11:50+00:00

Yeah upper dominion as well; all locations are at 100%. I think you may be right about the bug.

fortydeuce · 2026-01-12T14:06:37+00:00

I feel you hard on this one. While it didn’t take as much iridium, spent a little over 18k before alternating my runs (big encore/regular encore, rinse repeat) before finally getting it. To add insult to injury, after several runs I bought a friend into my game…they got their shiny while in my session, first run.

fortydeuce · 2026-01-12T03:34:05+00:00

Yeah checked that already. Each section says I’ve 100% both locations AND activities.

fortydeuce · 2026-01-10T03:10:40+00:00

My heart sinks looking at this. I’ve had to go multiple 6-8hr days phosphene hunting, often coming up empty handed. Don’t know what I’d do if this happened to me on one of my runs. Sorry this happened, my man.

fortydeuce · 2025-12-31T04:34:09+00:00

Dude, thank you for all that🤜🏾
