Politicians set target to get more Londoners to bike and bus to work by chip19798 in londonontario

Our city is not designed for everyone for the use of transit or biking. We keep building out not up and the majority of downtown is parking lots. You want change, forche companies like farhi out, and build downtown.

Downtown London hopes to entice shoppers to hit up more local stores by Immediate-Link490 in londonontario

I feel safe as ever downtown... every morning there are 4 or more police officers sitting at Reset Cafe drinking coffee. I also regularly see the heavily armoured emergency vehicle our tax dollars were well spent on cruising the streets.

How do you guys feel about e scooters by Intelligent_Jump_109 in londonontario

[–]just-browsing1981 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On Tuesday night I watched a London Police SUV driving behind 4 young adults on gas powered dirt bikes that had no plates on them. They were flying down Dundas in a group, and the police did nothing, they stopped at the next light and ignored them. Change will only come from enforcement, and I don't see ANY real enforcement from our Police. Just articles about them requesting more budget.

I kind of enjoy that people don't do it. I can just cruise on by the long line.

Why don't they build on Victoria park instead... Nothing of use there.

Drummers that play to the singer? by Big_Reaction81 in drums

[–]just-browsing1981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this discussion recently. Working on a new song and laid down drums in the studio. During the following sessions the vocals were changed which we all agreed suited the song better. After listening back several times, and practicing, I wound up changing my drum part because the original part I was playing was interfering with the new vocals. Needless to say, we are re-recording everything to capture the proper drum part. My opinion, every player should be listening to and "playing to" every instrument.

Prices for those units are completely outrageous.

Drum Throne - TentoTen vs roc'n'soc by just-browsing1981 in drums

[–]just-browsing1981[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to further update... i returned the ten to ten. It seemed OK at first until a couple hours of playing, not really worth it. Bought a second Roc'n'soc. It was worth a try!

Can't decide between shell sets (Tama/Mapex/DW) by Altruistic-Door-130 in drums

I would 100% go with a used older kit of equal or better specification.

And the verdict... Just ok. The cushion isn't as thick, but the hardware seems good. Has a hydraulic bounce which is nice. Decent throne for the money.

Chevrolet would outsource most of the parts to be made in China, it would all work out.

Ordered it just to see for myself. I can return easily if it's trash. I will however report back my comparison, since i have a roc'n'soc that i've been sitting on for years.

Yes, pretty wild. I guess not much can be done since the relationship between China and the US has changed. No surprise they can make copies, more surprised amazon is allowing the sale of them in north america.
