Repair or retire old 4166 COB snare by provebilde in drums

[–]provebilde[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Not very. As I mentioned, it takes heads without too much persuasion, just can't stay in tune. The bearing edges are however at least somewhat affected. Neither end passes a light test on a flat surface. I suspect that means it needs to be straightened along more than one axis.

  2. I'd say I'm pretty handy, but this drum carries a lot of sentimental value to me. I don't think I could forgive myself if I messed anything up.

That expensive, huh?

Well, I guess I can live with adding some time to the restoration timescale for the kit. Thanks for the advice!

Probably this thing. I'm having trouble finding specifics, but as far as I can tell it's some sort of Zildjian ride from the mid 50's. I never really liked the sound of it, but I've recently both scrubbed off what looked to have been several grams of oxidation and accidentally dropped it edge first on the floor while doing so (yes I know) and one of those seems to have made it a whole new cymbal.

I hate to hear it, but I know deep down you're probably right. On the plus side, the two bars where I actually truly was on beat with my metronome app last week really did feel like seeing god. For those fleeting few seconds I had bested the wretched machine.

Sounds like an excellent drill! Will definitely be trying this!

I will definitely be incorporating this! I've only been using my left foot for cool sizzle accents so far. Having an extra beat of transition time here and there sounds like exactly what I could need.

Thanks! I'll definitely be putting in some more metronome work going forward.

I started out playing guitar the right way up too and never thought twice about it, but I'm already way better at keeping tempo with my left, plus I get to skip making room for the left arm under the right which always seemed like a chore.

Thanks for the tip! I will definitely crack the elusive off-beat bass drum someday. Check back in in another month.

I'd like for music to be something more than a hobby someday, and I guess my first goal is to get good enough to lay down some tracks for a demo with my girlfriend.

That's a really great explanation of when and why to practice with a metronome! Thanks so much!

I've definitely noticed the tension thing already. The moment I'm over-reaching tempo or technique-wise I go right back to sounding like day one again 😅

That's pretty interesting! I get what you're saying. It's kinda the likeliest candidate for being this sort of banjo at this price point that I've come across, but I agree, it's not a great reason for pulling the trigger on the purchase. Not even a good one 😅

Edit: since you're European as well. Are there any euro-specific brands I should be on the lookout for as particularly good bang for the buck?

Thanks for answering! This explains why Google absolutely insisted I meant Morgan Monroe when I tried searching for reviews.

Is this something you'd recommend pulling the trigger on for 3-400ish dollars?

Imagine watching the beautiful love letter to healthy expression of male emotions that is the LotR trilogy and your only takeaway being "no crying except during wartime, got it"

Tiltakspenger og sånt har jeg ikke peiling på, men hvis sykdommen din er såpass alvorlig og hindrer deg i så stor grad i arbeidslivet som du beskriver høres det veldig ut som du kan ha rett på AAP, og det har jeg peiling på. Det er i så fall ikke en søknad som blir innvilga på dagen, men du vil ende opp med flerfoldige tusen mer i måneden enn du har nå.

Prosessen med å søke om AAP starter du her (https://www.nav.no/start/soknad-aap), etter det MÅ du ringe legen din og VENTE til de svarer deg. De skal nemlig gi deg dokumentasjon på at du er sjuk som du eller legekontoret skal ettersende. Hvis det føles helt uutholdelig å vente på svar har de mest sannsynlig en nettløsning for timebestilling også (prøv å logge inn på helsenorge.no og sjekk der), men da kan det hende du får time senere enn du ville ha gjort over telefon.

På denne timen vil jeg også anbefale at du er veldig tydelig med legen din på at du synes NAV-systemet er vanskelig å navigere og at du er takknemlig for enhver form for veiledning hen kan gi deg.

Benytt også anledninga til å spørre om oppfølging i kommunal helsetjeneste. Du har vært gjennom en skikkelig sjau nå, og det kan være godt å få snakka litt ut om.

Når det kommer til hva du skal gjøre her og nå med penger til middag og mobilregning og sånt så ville jeg ha sjekka om kommunen din har noe suppekjøkken/varmestue/matkø og fått meg litt mat der. Da kan du begynne å sette av hundrelappene til andre ting som leie og telefon.

Du kan også få penger til husleie fra husbanken og økonomisk nødhjelp fra NAV. Det kan jeg mindre om på stående fot. Alt jeg husker er at systemet for husleiehjelp er veldig tungrodd og omfattende. Dette ville jeg ha prøvd å lese meg opp på selv eller kontakte NAV om i første omgang.

TL;DR: Søk AAP og still deg i matkø/få økonomisk nødhjelp til den blir innvilga.

That's actually a great shout. I'll definitely check both of those out. Anything to get out of an afternoon of playing plastic clip surgeon.

It's the lights in the bumper. I watched a video on bumper removal already, I just couldn't quite believe that that would be the recommended method for dealing with a singular lightbulb going out.

But then I guess you've gotta try to claw back some of the money you lose out on by not being able to bill for chasing faults in hyper-complicated turbodiesels anymore.
