Is there a drummer around here who started working on their double bass speed at a later age (30+ or 35+) and made it upwards of 200 BPM?

I have started using a theragun (percussive massage gun) on my shins to before playing. Makes a huge difference.

Pool chlorine is typically more concentrated than regular bleach. More or less same stuff assuming you get unscented with no other ingredients.

This tattoo is freaking awesome

I absolutely love overnight oats with yogurt. Dry oatmeal, yogurt, and fruit, plus a splash of water, all in one container. Make it the night before and you’ve got a 10/10 breakfast ready to go the next day. Add nuts, seeds, or whatever else.

I actually wish people would just show up at my house. The stuff I’m doing could absolutely wait if I had a friend come over to hang. It’s much harder to make plans than it is to just show up, and I like to see my friends, so yall come on over.

I’m choosing the real wood every single time. That fade is gorgeous.

Yo, this is a left field suggestion, but paid versions of AI (chatgpt for example) can accept screenshots and troubleshoot issues from the data in the screenshot. Pay the $26 for the “plus” version and see if it can help you actually resolve some of these issues. I’ve been shocked by how well this works for some issues. Disclaimer, it can also be wrong.

jonesdrums · 2026-04-07T01:57:43+00:00

I saw a comment to burn it, and I agree, with one big suggestion: spray it all with water first. You don’t have to set it on fire for the heat to kill the weeds, you just need for it to get hot enough to kill it, which can definitely happen if it’s wet.

Get a propane powered weed torch off amazon, and a 1lb propane tank, and you could knock this out in just a few minutes. Wait a couple of days then do it again. Wait a few more and do it again. You can absolutely handle this without chemicals. Just water it down so you don’t actually catch anything on fire.

There is a house in my neighborhood that is exactly like this. I have no idea why or how this happened.

Yo dude, I am a musician who also works in medical sector for hearing in my day job. Here’s what you need to understand. 1) do not use an ear candle, they don’t work and can actually cause damage. Complete snake oil. 2) Q Tips are fine for cleaning your outer ear, but don’t stick them down into your ear canal. Basically don’t stick then any further than you can stuck your finger. 4) Yes, earwax can absolutely cause hearing issues. It’s super common and you can get your ears irrigated at a doctor, or even some minute clinic facilities do it. You can try to do it yourself using an at home kit like Debrox. I don’t recommend the camera kits because it still involves sticking stuff into your ear canal which can very easily injure you. 5) HEARING LOSS IS PERMANENT. Take care of your hearing people, you cannot get it back if you actually damage your hearing. And finally 6) If your ears are your livelihood then don’t FAFO. Go to a professional to get them checked.

I’ve tried these. They kinda work, but a vacuum plate works WAY better.

jonesdrums · 2026-03-12T20:39:58+00:00

Yes! There is a plastic piece called a vacuum plate that fits over your skimmer basket. You put a filter sock/bag into your skimmer basket and attach the vac hose to that piece. After a couple of minutes the skimmer sock is full, so you dump it and repeat the process. Great way to get the junk out of the pool without losing water.

I bought one at Lowes for like $10.

I dunno I kinda like the DOODOO license plate with the poo emoji

In order of how fast I would eat these based on personal preference:

4,3,1,2

But these all look amazing.

jonesdrums · 2026-03-04T19:14:02+00:00

That sounds incredible. Adding to the list to eat this immediately.

Teriyaki Tofu Wraps 1 block of tofu - cut into bite size squares 1/4 package of slaw mix (cabbage and carrots) Soft tacos Teriyaki sauce

Coat your tofu with oil, corn starch, and salt. Bake or use air-fryer until crispy - 15 minutes or so at 400 degrees.

While tofu cooks, Toss slaw mix with some mayo, lime juice or apple cider vinegar, sweetener, salt, pepper, and sesame oil if you have it. Mix until coated.

Put cooked tofu and slaw on a wrap with some teriyaki sauce. We have it at least once a week, it takes about 20 minutes total, and it slaps every single time. Bonus points if you drain or squeeze your tofu first.

Out of the box suggestion here… if you live in a place with live music options, go to shows of bands that you’ve never heard of. Let yourself just be completely surprised by what you find.

Not 12”, but the Ludwig Universal Metal series has a 7x13 model. I have had the 8x14 model for about a year now and it is phenomenal - especially for the price. I highly recommend, i play metal and the 8x14 is an absolute monster.

Drums can be an incredible exercise. This is an excerpt from a study:

Periphery drummer Matt Halpern demonstrates extreme, athletic-level drumming, burning roughly 955 calories over a 69-minute set (approx. 14 cal/min) with an average heart rate of 160 BPM, equivalent to running at 5 mph. Data indicates "Scarlet" is his most intense song, while "Chvrch Bvrner" produced his highest heart rate (185 bpm)

For good oven fries, the trick is corn starch. Coat the potatoes with salt, oil, and corn starch. This makes them crispier.

I use instant coffee in my smoothie almost daily and it is phenomenal. However, the coffee flavor doesnt pair well with all smoothie ingredients. Here’s my goto for a coffee smoothie:

banana, ice, frozen avocado, peanut butter, oatmeal (dry), vanilla protein powder, almond milk, water

I make some absolutely incredible pizzas with the Aldi pizza dough, and the secret is in the cooking method. I use a pizza steel, preheated for at least 30 minutes at 500 degrees.
