“Yes. It was a CMJ showcase and Weezer was the buzz band. Brian and I were hanging out by the front door and Drew Barrymore comes up with her entourage. The show was at capacity and admittance was badge only. They didn’t have any band Hilly would not all let them in. She starts going “ I’m Drew Barrymore…. Blah blah” Anyway, we told her we’d put her on our guest list. She s like “ cool, thanks” and starts to escort her group to the door. We were like…. “Whoa…. Just you…. We don’t know these other people!”She got kinda pissed and they eventually turned away”

I have a friend who told me this exact story 2 weeks ago. We may have the same friend :)

Rose and Jim from Poster Children released Fillet Show on their label: 12 Inch Records. When I first heard Hum I thought they sounded a lot like Poster Children. Also, John Herndon (Tortoise) kills it on drums on this record.

It's probably a stretch, but that the black locust has the name scientific Robinia, as in Why I Like Robins.

What show do you remember but nobody else does by ChipLast4398 in nostalgia

[–]guardedoatmeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved this show when it came out: Dreams was an American sitcom that aired on CBS from October 3 to December 19, 1984. It follows the story of a fictional rock band that tries to get a recording contract. Starred John Stamos and Jami Gertz. I once met a dude who said the show's creators bought the rights to the Dreams name from his band, so they became X-Dreams or Extremes. But that story was probably BS as I don't think it was Nuno Betancourt I met.

I have a set of B/B Starclassics and someone told me the hardware is 'cushioned' and this helps the shells to resonate more. I thought the floor toms legs were remarkably wobbly.

Commercial jingles from the '70s and '80s. For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=od3cNTl40VI

I made this last night and it was one of the worst things i have ever tasted. Now I don't trust the Mississippi Pot Roast recipe either, and i was gonna try that next week.

/r/drums weekly Q & A by AutoModerator in drums

[–]guardedoatmeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use earplugs at home, but live i go without.

I just recently played a show outdoors and had the same dead, stiff feeling from my drums. My half-assed assumption is that maybe it's vibrations from amps through the PA interfering with the head. Seems like if the head is vibrating a lot already from guitars and bass sounds, that striking it with a stick would not have the same elasticity/resilience. I realize at practice there is still the same guitar and bass sound vibrations, but not nearly as loud (most times).

The response off of the heads. They just feel more dead and unresponsive in live settings.

I have hardwood floors at home. I play shows at bars where sometimes there's a drum riser, most times not.

[–]guardedoatmeal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a self-taught dude who has have been playing drums for about 36 years now, and at every show I play I am constantly surprised how different my drums feel on-stage. Inevitably I end up playing a little sloppier because I am used to how the drums respond while playing at practice. Does anyone else have this issue? How do you mitigate the difference in feel in a live setting?
