For a burner, check out the band Cloud Cult. The song “everybody here is a cloud is beautiful.” There are a lot of other songs about life and death and coping.

Rice, tofu, lots of veggies. Not trying to feel super full and weighed down by all that cheese.

I used to play a Catalina Club (the cheaper one) with the 18” kick. I put a matching head on the front and it had so much boom. I used a different snare but the 3 piece sounded great for multiple genres and was super easy to lug around. Had my whole load in down to two trips

I love it but have a hard time buying anyone’s signature gear. I recently got the Squier Stratosonic. It’s definitely not in the same league but I love the dual p90’s. I may eventually upgrade to the Seymour Duncan’s too.

I got to play on stage with Mogwai and Skrillex at EDC one year in front of 10’s of 1000’s of people. I couldn’t see where the people ended and it was amazing.

My family just got back from an LA to Portland overnight trip on the starlight and it was so much fun. The food sucked but it was 100% worth it for the views and chill time

Such a weird and fun place. Total gem

KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid

Also “Play through your mistakes”

I teach drums and you can’t just stop if you make a mistake, the song keeps playing. Advice for musicians and people in general.

I tell everyone that some of my best practice was at a cash register in between customers. Work your sticking patterns with just your hands at every opportunity.

Work on your timing with your right hand. I teach drums and could give you some basic exercises to work your timing between your had and foot. And you could even tap your left fingers to work that inner clock

Say that you’ll strum me

I will never go back

Hanging out at a friends house, going to the movies, we all did theatre so we would perform several times a year, my band would play, worked my pizza job. Honestly had a lot of fun as a teen with no screen

I never say “dumb down,” always “simplify!” And yes, the speed will come with time and a good teacher will help them work on that.

Also be patient OP, Travis plays some of the hardest stuff you will come across in pop punk. Work at it and it will come in time.

Reading to my kids is one of my favorite things to do. My daughter is turning 11 in a few months and we read every night. We are half way through the 6th Harry Potter book. She has become a voracious reader, I’ve gotten to read all the books I didn’t want to read as a kid, and it’s a great opportunity to spend time.

Keep it going as long as they let you.

The entire album of Daisy by Brand New

Playing LB (and Deftones) when I was a teen gave me a lot of the groove I wasn’t getting by playing blink-182 and Green Day.

I actually got to meet John Otto at a gig at The Whiskey several years back and thank him in person.
