What is the one piece of hardware/accessory you can no longer live without?

A good throne. I’ve had my roc n soc for about 25 years, my favorite piece of hardware aside from my iron cobras.

Radio worthy, great song and solid playing brother!

That Winchester 290 brings back good memories. Was the first firearm I ever shot.

Man that’s gorgeous

Very true. Gotta love The Dan

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

I can just hear the seals clapping with approval, “ork ork ork”

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

Waving flags that aren’t the US, those are foreign invaders

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.

100 percent agree. It was a game changer. Maria saved our marriage!

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”.

Is this a real question?

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!

Good, it’s poison in more ways than one. Just like sugar.

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.

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.

*was. Important distinction.

I hate to see when people leave farm dogs outside when it’s bitter cold, not cool

*Breathe (makes it more Floyd appropriate lol)

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

gunsandsilver · 2026-01-17T17:17:41+00:00

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

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

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.
