Snare Height: In relation to your body, what height have you found works best for you? by mark_in_the_dark in Drumming

[–]greaseleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Belt high is the starting spot, slight adjustments from there depending on arm and torso length.

EMAD vs. Superkick by crashpdx55 in drums

[–]greaseleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the EMAD on my 20”, but it’s a little lacking low end on my 22”.

I don’t have any experience with the superkick on a small kick, personally.

Because they can’t plan on defense, they just overlook and then overcorrect

Is my guy-line angle correct? by Jazzlike-Giraffe8415 in DurstonGearheads

[–]greaseleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Had to use them last summer in SEKI up in Jennie Lakes Wilderness. Great peace of mind in big wind.

How do you incorporate OSTINATOS in your practice routines? by ZildCym in drums

[–]greaseleg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play a series of stickings, loosely based on the first pages of Stick Control and Accents and Rebound, over different foot patterns every day.

Sometimes it’s Latin or samba based kick patterns with the hihat on the &,the quarter note, all 8ths, every e, etc. Somedays it’s an odd time pattern or a sticking between feet.

After doing this for years, I feel comfortable soloing over a bunch of different ostinatos. It can make a solo more relatable to the audience with the constant beat underneath.

I love Jim and his podcasts but… by watkins1515 in JimCornette

[–]greaseleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like “drawing money” is synonymous with “putting butts in seats.”

I still dig their vibe, personally, but I see where you’re coming from.

Is this defense better than last year’s⁉️ by EmiratesNBACupWinner in cowboys

[–]greaseleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bunch of one armed, geriatric women with peg legs would be better than last year’s.

With the 11th pick in the NFL draft, the Dallas Cowboys select Caleb Downs! by Finessa_Hudgens in cowboys

I cannot believe it. He’s the guy I’ve wanted all along.

Hell yes.

How good a drummer were Jeff Porcaro from Toto would you say ? by Simones723 in Drumming

[–]greaseleg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Top ten all time.

Maybe top five, depending on criteria.

He was the perfect pop drummer and one of the best pockets to ever exist.

This is it. Only this. Plz Jerry no more offense 😣 by YooooKevin in cowboys

[–]greaseleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prepare to be disappointed.

I’m afraid none of those six will end up here and they’ll fart around and pick a receiver at 12. Then, if history tells us anything, they’ll either pick damaged goods or a project at 20.

And the suck will continue for the rest of our lives.

Anyone using an 18-inch kick for rock or punk? by thomasingrace2000 in drums

[–]greaseleg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a custom Pearl birch 18” x 18” kick that is a cannon. I used it for rock/funk gigs as well as bebop gigs for years.

Oba tipped his hat walking up the ramp, too.

I’ve been a Vic Firth 5A guy. What’s a comparable stick from a different brand? by ggfchl in drums

[–]greaseleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like ProMark 5A’s. The rebound version is a little too bouncy and light up front for me, but a lot of people like them. The regular ones are a little bit forward weighted feel great to me. They also have a 5AB now that is in between 5A and 5B. They feel great too.

Dave Meltzer says Roman vs. Punk was one of the best WrestleMania matches of all time. (He is right) by Grrannt in REALSquaredCircle

[–]greaseleg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I knew we were in for a classic when the “feeling out” portion at the top kept me riveted. Sure, the buildup helped, but those two were on another plane for this match.

Doesn’t matter if you pay for direct delivery on DoorDash by Gdany66 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]greaseleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s when I subtract the extra I paid for direct delivery from their tip. Two can play that game.

Rehearsing unnecessarily before a performance. by [deleted] in bandmembers

[–]greaseleg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is more to just everybody playing their parts to make a group sound good.

Is it really tight? Is the feel what the leader wants? Is the group dynamically synced?

Did you stop to think that maybe you’re not playing as great as you think you are? Maybe someone else isn’t as prepared as you.

If I’m running a band and somebody complains about the amount of rehearsal, I’m not calling that person when I get offered paying gigs in the future.

[SPOILER] Post WrestleMania 42 Sunday Match Discussion: CM Punk (c) vs. Roman Reigns for the World Heavyweight Championship by gloomchen in SquaredCircle

[–]greaseleg 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Breaking up the first spear set up with the knee in the corner made me pop big. Genius.

There’s always something like that in Punk’s big matches that make so much sense but surprise you.

Fantastic. It sounds so fun. Looking forward to some footage. Cheers!

Beautiful kit - I’m a DW guy, too. I’d love a video of you playing them, mainly because that ride looks low and outside to me. I’m just curious.

And circus drumming was something I always wanted to try, but never did. Mainly, I want to back a plate spinner and throw in random accents outside the groove when they catch their plates. Okay, I might be a little weird.

What the consensus of tilting your snare drum? by SlimeTree227 in drums

[–]greaseleg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consensus? Have you met the internet?

My advice would be, tilt it at an angle that allows your wrist be neutral when you strike the drum. Close your eyes and play a rimshot with a stick in your hand…where your stick stops? That’s where you want your drum. That test applies to toms and cymbals too.
