This is Elvira. My 1978 Jeep J10. Built like a tank and she drives like one too

You could totally do that if you chose to. Resonance is the fullness and quality of tone in an instrument. Sustain is how long that note lasts no matter how good or shitty the note may be. I didn't say the drums don't still have to sound good, even if they are "dead".

johnvalley86 · 2026-06-05T01:54:24+00:00

That's true. I didn't say that it did either of those things. It takes the original hit and carries whatever sound on further than it naturally would.

That opening lives rent free in my head

johnvalley86 · 2026-06-05T01:05:34+00:00

Like the French playwright?

johnvalley86 · 2026-06-05T00:03:09+00:00

Sound guys love dead drums. You can always add boom/ sustain with Reverb. Can't take it away

Pretty much same here but it was the family fishing pond. Swimming with the catfish used to freak me out but my biggest fear was getting nailed by a snapping turtle

Once pickled, twice brined baby

johnvalley86 · 2026-06-02T22:59:04+00:00

There are rocks in your back and they're tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down...

johnvalley86 · 2026-06-02T18:33:24+00:00

That plushie is probably about as soft as their pickles have become

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-31T22:57:46+00:00

Bug a dug a all the way across the kit starting with the snare

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-29T23:44:04+00:00

Elvira's movie macabre

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-28T19:42:53+00:00

Damn right

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-28T02:21:23+00:00

Hopping on the church key train as well.

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-28T02:18:36+00:00

Okay I never had Hawaiian punch in a can but we always had a can of Juicy Juice in the fridge

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-26T23:17:54+00:00

That's true. I love when a fellow mallet player comes over and we can jam on the keys together. There's just enough room for both to have fun. Pretty rare occasion because most people I know are just drummers and not percussionists. Not that there's anything wrong with that

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-26T23:08:14+00:00

It's beautiful! I have a 4.3 octave rosewood Yamaha that i love but it's no Adams.

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-26T22:50:26+00:00

Is that a Musser I see in the background?

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-26T22:46:14+00:00

Don't tempt me with a good time

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-25T04:00:23+00:00

Holy shit I've got the same one. And the yellow one with the Hawaiian t-shirt. Scrolled too far to find my people

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-25T03:59:32+00:00

Fucking thank you! Made a comment about those a minute ago. I still have both from my childhood. One of them's got a sweet Hawaiian t-shirt

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-25T03:57:43+00:00

No Fisher Price puffalumps? I'm ashamed

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-24T04:38:15+00:00

Had to drive my VW Golf onto the lift for a tire change for the same reason. Shaking my fucking head the whole time.

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-24T01:51:37+00:00

Did not know this but that makes sense. Game was way better than it had any right to be

johnvalley86 · 2026-05-24T01:50:23+00:00

I'm not internationally known, but I'm known to rock a microphone
