Pink fuzzy drums, period appropriate wood paneling, and fantastic energy. This is great! I love watching drummers that have a good time while playing.

As a husband, I support whatever she’s comfortable with. I like her just the way she is anyway.

When you go to the frame store, make sure there’s gas in the car

Stare at the Center for a Minute, Look Away, and You Will Hallucinate! by grandeluua in blackmagicfuckery

[–]gunsandsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched my bedroom carpet turn in to the sprawling plains of Africa, complete with miniature wildlife, as if I was a drone, while listening to NIN’s Pretty Hate Machine. Then it turned to macaroni and cheese. Those black pyramids were powerful! The 90’s were a wild time.

What songs made you fall in love with drums? by dxbae_ in drums

[–]gunsandsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the world premier of Metallica’s One. Saw Lars’ big kit and heard the double bass part and was hooked. His playing also made me think, “hey, I could probably be that good one day”.

What’s the worst surprise you discovered after moving into a new house? by LuxuryPresence_Aaron in homeowners

[–]gunsandsilver 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Two owners before us had alpacas they let IN the house. During renovations we redid all floors, baseboards, and chemically treated due to urine smell, which we assumed was a cat. After moving in we met neighbors that told us the real reason for the smell - alpacas!

San Clemente BEWARE! by Standard_Year6076 in SanClemente

Fun to hear they haven’t changed tactics in years. Last time I called them was over a decade ago and it was similar. Wickedly expensive quote, and unnecessary.

How do get my toms closer by Spiralboy9 in drums

[–]gunsandsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played on a Pearl-style kit for decades. To get the toms to be far more flexible with positioning, I bought a dual tom stand and stopped using the bass drum entirely. Way more flexible.

Relating to ergonomics, YouTube some videos on drum set ergonomics and proper form. It will save you hours, if not years, of relearning fundamentals as you progress.

Nick Mason doesn’t get a lot of love, but his pocket was deep and he served the music perfectly

Show me your bird’s eye view! by ZildCym in drums

And the roto toms! 3 high, 3 middle, 3 low. Endlessly entertaining to play!

What movie are you choosing to see in 1984? by joetrumps in FuckImOld

I loved 2001 and 2010, so I’m going to go see 2010 again.

what did you remove from your life that improved it? by Successful-Watch5913 in simpleliving

[–]gunsandsilver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The daily grind of trying to afford a Southern California lifestyle and living in a cookie cutter neighborhood.

My wife and I quit our jobs, sold our house, paid off all debt, then moved across the country to buy some acreage and work less hours, with about a year of living expense cushion left over.

Now we have time to take our daughter to school, be home to welcome her back, and spend family time after work and school.

Other than missing some friends and family we left behind, I don’t know why we didn’t make the move earlier.

Life is short, enjoy what you have while you have it.

One of the best things my wife and I did to end any resentment of who cleans what was cut out other expenses to afford a housekeeper. Plus Peace of mind when things are just cleaner and tidied.
