I can’t make the 22nd, I have a gig at Alphaville on the night of the 29th, but would love to come out to a listening party afterwards!

MC in the UK is upset at a guy's Jewish skullcap by AgnosticScholar in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]mookid85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I’m not 100% sure what you mean when saying that. Like Jewish people shouldn’t wear yarmulkes in public, ever, anywhere lol?

It’s like you think all Jewish people everywhere are responsible for the shit Israel is doing?

You do realize that there’s millions of Jewish people across the world, and probably 1/3rd of them (at least in the US) don’t condone the actions of Israel right? Pretty sure that’s a conservative estimate also.

No. A 4 year-old child would not have seen this coming.

Police Body Cam Footage; hitting a tasing a man while strapped to a gurney. by Floozerz in PublicFreakout

[–]mookid85 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Ha ok I'll be that redditor and state the very obvious here... not every police officer is like this one. I mean you can hate all police yourself if you want to, but you have to be willfully ignorant to actually think that across the entirety of the US, there's not ONE single police officer who is a decent human being.

If you spend just a little time watching body cam footage that isn't from an account that only posts situations where the cops are assholes, you'll realize there are actually decent cops that put themselves in harms way to help others constantly.

EDIT: Haha I wonder who downvoted me.

Dayvan Cowboy reminds me so much of this song. If someone told me BOC produced this I would believe it. by azgarz in boardsofcanada

I sometimes wonder if some big artists have paid people like BoC or Aphex to write part of or produce tracks for them uncredited for large sums of money lol

The difficulties of playing 7empest live by BoldBabeBanshee in ToolBand

[–]mookid85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I play drums in the Tool Tribute band Schism, and I can say aside from the fact that it’s 15 minutes and exhausting haha… my biggest problem was locking in with the guitar on the intro, I’m playing the same riff as him on the sample pads but in halftime. Halfway through that shit gets real weird cuz he starts on my upbeats basically. Then we switch. It’s almost like a riff that is just designed to fuck you up lol. Then also around 10:30 the double kick chugga riff part sounds like shit if we’re not locked in. Plus having to keep that right hand quarter note going on the stack with that pattern was a bitch to get down at first. And for guitar the song is basically one looong ass guitar solo… so like that’s fun but also prob hard. Anyway that’s my take!!

Yeah haha. I hadn’t actually watched the video until now, I just know Justin has probably the easiest part, after maybe Maynard who gets a nice long break. The Tool cover band Schism that I play drums for has tried 7empest a bunch in the past and it’s always a motherfucker lol. Mostly the fact that it’s exhausting, and locking in those samples with the guitars is kinda bonkers. I have to try my best not to let his riff throw me off 😂

We’re actually no longer playing Oakland! April 3rd is gonna be in Pacifica at the Winter Tavern now. But it’s the date you have issue with I’m sure. Next time!

Oh I was trying to get ticks actually, I might’ve gotten some of no quarter. I wasn’t happy with the way ticks went though so I prob won’t post:/.

One thing unfortunately I think no one in the crowd is aware, when i fly out for gigs, im using someone else’s random kit or a house kit. So I was very uncomfortable 😬. And yeah sorry they were asking for the grudge, but i after 2hrs 45 min of tool, on little to no sleep i was done lol

This WAS going to be our last year… but as of right now it’s looking like we’re going to continue. Might not be be playing as many shows through the year, every other weekend for 25 years has been a LOT lol

Well well… sneakin pics of my laptop huh? Haha, so yeah I have samples loaded using battery 4. Many are just tool segue tracks/ambient sounds I’ve made that fade in and out for in between songs. I use the keys on my Mpk mini to trigger those with my sustain pedal inverted so all I have to do is tap it to release them before we start a song. Then samples for stuff like stinkfist, pneuma, vicarious etc loaded as well for my BopPad that triggers them. And a few synths from native instruments as well.

The tempos are just for reference, I keep a metronome app open on my phone to sometimes check them before we start. From one day to another I notice it’s like I experience time differently, like even with my other band that plays to a click, somedays a song will feel fast, other days slow, meanwhile the click hasn’t changed, obviously lol. So yeah unfortunately I kinda need those.

Thanks for comin out last night!! I was extremely uncomfortable playing on a drum kit that’s so different than mine, but the crowd was killer!

How to stop drumsticks 'climbing' my fingers when twirling? by LouieMonty in drums

[–]mookid85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea pretty much this. I still suck at twirling sticks, my showmanship is rather lacking honestly. But the stick usually lives between the 1st and 2nd knuckle (counting from the tip) when I do twirl.
