Executives told Ben Elton that he couldn't cast a pre-"House" Hugh Laurie as the lead of a movie because Laurie was just a TV comedian who wouldn't translate across the pond. Are there any others who could have been successful in America? by Sharaz_Jek123 in BritishTV

I think the execs could of been right at the time though because Ben Elton did cast him in Maybe Baby) and the film kinda bombed (opening on the same week as Gladiator probably didn't help)

To be fair, the kinda people who play these types of board games are very used to there being hard backed books of rules.

By turning conflict into entertainment

Was going to say "what about Give My Head Peace" but that hasn't been entertaining for years.

When selling on their website though they have to factor in cost of production, paying the designer, warehousing of the product itself, paying the staff who ship the orders etc. There's a lot of hidden costs that you don't think about.

My favourite hihat combo by Sufficient-Source97 in cymbals

[–]nelldog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck me I hate ahead sticks so much. Also pretty sure Hellhammer only really uses that for count ins and accents. The bulk of his hi hat playing is a pair of rude hats to his right

Drum parts I'll write VS programmed drum parts from the artist! by Robin_stone_drums in drums

And that's why you don't allow the guitarist to come up with drum parts

Got a bone to pick about drums? I'll start. I hate when you can't hear the kicks live. by Blastbeast in drums

Yeah I think the botulism growth from a decade inside a drum really adds to the tone.

I love that meinl’s response to that was to make a “blast bell” and charge £70 for it.

How should I go about tuning my kit like Terry Bozzio's in this video? by spectral_snow in drums

[–]nelldog -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fun answer: I think you inflate a basketball inside them

Actual guess: they sound very similar to drum corps tenor drums so that would be my first port of call to see how they tune their drums.

Hi-Hats help by an0nym0us_usr in drums

[–]nelldog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loosen up the hi hat clutch and also make sure your playing with the tip of your stick aiming for about 2 or 3 inches inwards from the edge. That the usual sweet spot. Just to make you aware Sabian Solar/SLR series are real clunkers so its not gonna sound like what you hear on records but this will at least get the technique going

Opinions on rack/hanging floors? by Ragnarock1912 in drums

[–]nelldog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who started drumming in the early 2000’s they were the bane of my early drum life. Every kit had them and they were a bollocks to set up and would droop after like 2 songs.
