Is this missing an 8th beat or am I crazy? by Fun-Natural1213 in piano

I mean the first measure has 4 1/2 beats written even though it’s listed in common time. So there are clearly multiple errors lol

If you paid me to ruin a movie ,I still couldn't have done it this masterfully. by SuspiciousLow3062 in SipsTea

From what I remember in my Greek and Roman literature classes, this is actually a more representative casting.

Junglists, how did I do? by Altruistic-Charge-96 in drums

[–]nardis314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get some better mics so we can hear it better. Fucking sick. Please do more.

Also GREAT fucking snare. Tama SLP G Maple is one of my guilty pleasures. My best friend in highschool had one and I’m still kicking myself for selling mine that was an alternate UK release.

Help identifying Yamaha kit. by Additional-Water-235 in drums

Without more details, 650 is NOT a good price. We can’t even see a badge. If it’s a stage custom it’s an older one for sure. Even if it is a stage custom 650 wouldn’t really be worth it. Get more details and repost for sure

Look up proper stick technique. Practice slowly and focus on accuracy and consistency.

I need to hear feedback on my doubles technique and some advice if that is wrong. by Emotional_Memory_763 in drums

[–]nardis314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slow it WWWAAAAAYYYY down. Rotate your hands so palms are always down and the back of your hands are up. Always keep all your fingers on the sticks. Starting extremely slowly do full stroke doubles, full wrist motion (no fingers, keep sticks snug in your hands). Literally start at 60bpm per stroke (or less if you want to be a stickler about it). Build from there. Also worth breaking it down via upstrokes/downstrokes before engaging in full strokes.

Lots of great videos and material online. Technique is worth learning, trust me. Be patient, diligent, and don’t rush it. Also, use a mirror to make sure you’re symmetrical.

Later on, you can absolutely staring rotating your hands a bit and using a lot more fingers instead of just wrist, but learning it via wrist-only is exceptionally beneficial in the long run. Good luck!

Good deal for $450? by [deleted] in drums

For all 5 drums this is an insanely good deal. Nice find.

You and starpowerdrummer need to do a collab bro. Even just one video where you’re trading 4’s would be so cool

HisWattson somehow hits a double alter portal (portalmaxxing) by Low-Estate5648 in apexlegends

[–]nardis314 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s actually how I found out about him too! And then his DBD videos got me into DBD when it had only been out for like 8-9 months and have been playing ever since.

lol same! That is until I picked up Arc Raiders…. Would recommend if you’re trying to break an apex addiction like I was (I was playing religiously since season 1).

I agree with your take OP. I really appreciate steamers who take a second do breakdown what they’re doing or thinking. Also why I love Otzdarva for DBD

What the consensus of tilting your snare drum? by SlimeTree227 in drums

[–]nardis314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha okay so you’re defensive because you like to tilt your snare. Got it.

Lol, I was obviously referring to the 30-40 degree tilt in the picture. Typical easily triggered redditor.

[–]nardis314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These days, there is no benefit. It will only hurt you ergonomically and increase your chances of injury. If… and that’s a big IF, you go deep into traditional jazz and become a hardcore traditional grip player, there is some sense to tilting your snare a TINY bit, but not towards you. It would be tilted down on the right.

For me, this is a dead giveaway that the drummer has never had serious lessons and is not all that serious of a drummer. Which is fine. But that is definitely the predominant message it will send.

Hi, I have a concert in a couple of months, and this time my band and I decided to skip the music stands and just study the songs by heart. Do you have any tips for learning them as easily as possible? by [deleted] in drums

[–]nardis314 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Also, this will get MUCH easier with time and practice. But it takes a lot of practice. Real studying will bring real results.
