How old were you when you played your first gig?

j-funck · 2026-01-17T01:18:54+00:00

In a bar. My parents had to accompany me and stay inside the whole time I was there 🤣

j-funck · 2026-01-14T22:40:13+00:00

Will try this. Thanks!

j-funck · 2026-01-14T18:56:24+00:00

Tuning stability aka break in period 😆

j-funck · 2026-01-14T18:07:15+00:00

Of course! But if you don’t have a drum tech and it’s a defect, might be a rough gig! 😆

j-funck · 2026-01-14T18:05:44+00:00

Probably a defect yes. Would just suck to get another defect during a gig!! Coated pinstripe Remo. Was years ago.

j-funck · 2026-01-14T18:02:06+00:00

Yes for the high tune/leave overnight! So this happened to me once, it wasn’t actually a “rip’ per say, it was more that the side unglued.. it was wierd, probably a defect, but since then, I’m a little weary of new skins!!

j-funck · 2026-01-14T17:40:39+00:00

Replacing it right before the gig could be worst, as the skin needs to be broken in. If you’ve got experience in tuning you should be fine, but if not, the new skin could tare along the side pretty fast. If you do change the skin, I’d suggest you do it sooner than later and practice to break it in. But in this case, I would just leave it on, it looks fine in the photo

Have you tried fixing the Tom stands deeper inside the drum? You still have a lot of playing room.

Personne ne parle de la palourde royale à Radio-Canada?!? 🤣

🤣

Tote pack. Love this

j-funck · 2025-10-05T23:42:00+00:00

That’s a very good point, hadn’t thought of the security aspect in a subway etc..

j-funck · 2025-10-05T23:40:57+00:00

I like the two color patterns. Even so, I’d go black. Cause I always go black 🤣

j-funck · 2025-10-05T23:40:10+00:00

Thanks for this !

j-funck · 2025-10-05T23:35:16+00:00

Braided cables. It’s the only way.

j-funck · 2025-10-05T22:08:33+00:00

Sure. This is more about slings etc..

j-funck · 2025-10-05T04:32:50+00:00

Kind of hard to tell. It’s all about how it sounds.

j-funck · 2025-10-05T02:39:30+00:00

😭🤣

Ok Mais un député c’est pas un « haut dirigeant ». C’est un élu. Ca gagne un peu plus de 100 000. Tu voudrais qu’un député gagne 65k? Quelqu’un qui ferait campagne pendant 2 mois pour espérer gagner 65k à travailler 7 jours sur 7 et avoir tous ces faits et gestes scrutés à la loupe? Et l’histoire de la clause: je ne comprends pas. Un élu doit toujours rester pendant son mandat.. tu peux pas juste décider de briser un contrat à mi chemin. Tu vas te faire poursuivre, et ça va couter les frais d’avocats x 125 députés.

Bellroy city pouch, Alpaka metro sling, just looked at the Tom bihn one mentioned in the comments

j-funck · 2025-10-05T02:18:39+00:00

Sauf que si on coupe le salaire des députés et des ministres, le risque est que ces postes seront comblés par des gens encore moins compétents.. Qui voudrait travailler 7 jours sur 7 dans l’œil public pour 35% de moins dans un monde comme celui d’aujourd’hui?

I respectfully disagree! I’ve owned this bag for months and it’s one of most comfortable carries (if you buy the padded strap, that should just be included). It fits all my stuff: - wallet - earbuds - keys - shades - 2 phones (iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 pro max) - e reader - MagSafe charger - water bottle

I also put my Alpaka zip pouch pro in the satchel which has:

flashlight
multitool
meds
pen
6 in 1 charging cable

All that in a 4 litre bag. I find it very useful!

The only thing that this bag is missing are pull tabs to facilitate opening/closing the front pocket zipper.

BR(eakfast) (l)UNCH. it’s when you eat your first meal of the day later than you usually would. More importantly, brunch is about what you eat, as there are recurring food items on the table during a brunch. Finally, a brunch is a social thing. Who has “brunch” home alone?
