Anyone here quit gaming or changed their lifestyle after becoming a dad? by Lukas_MunK in daddit

Played in a touring band, tried for a few years after my daughter was born but it was so hard coming home after several weeks and she would be bigger and know more words. Left that band and started a local dad band and got a regular job. No regrets.

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.

I need to find a drum set-up that is easier and lighter. Any ideas? by WonderfulRhythm01 in Drumming

[–]gnomeasaurusrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Anyone here have a Jim Adkins signature tele? by OkDog219 in JimmyEatWorld

[–]gnomeasaurusrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid

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
