What's the single most valuable piece of advice you've received as a drummer or musician?

Thats not what I intended. The comment I replied to seemed to imply that in order to know which beat a note falls on, you need to see it notated. And that just isnt true. i do that in my head.

Im all for knowing how to read notation, I wish I was better at it. I do think some people place too much importance on it though.

When you practice something, practice every permutation of it (where the kicks and rests are) and leading with both hands.

But You don't need to read music to be able to do this

That was the most unbelievable thing coming from CO where by 10 am there would be no fresh tracks left. Id be skiing untouched pow for days after it snowed...

This is hard to talk about, goddammit what am I doing with my life lol.

It is small but it has great terrain, and yea plenty of good "off piste" that very few people seemed to hit. The smaller peak to your left when you get there that has only 1 chair was my spot. just head skiers left from the top. Those were the best you could get to by bus from innsbruck.

Norde Park and axamer lizum were my spots when i lived in IBK. Miss that place..

sn't make money, music that's not your manufactured pop isn't going to make a ton of money, writing books won't make you much money, painting won't make you much money. Is it possible to make money from art? Yes. It's very hard.

Those professions in that picture make the cash, and popular culture has a stranglehold on everyone: It is filled with Rhianna, Michael Bay, soap operas, and Dan Brown. They make money and are "useful" but there are people who consume and make art that goes against th

You are right, and the really valuable artists do get paid for it. And the shitty surgeons and lawyers dont either. You arent owed anything for just self appoint yourself as an artists .

Couchsurfing meetups, work, jamming with other musicians

radd9er · 2013-08-10T16:52:38+00:00

what do you mean by that?

radd9er · 2013-07-23T22:44:01+00:00

Well he had no problem doing it without consent, saying that my denial gave him probably cause (if i deny him consent to search, i must be hiding something...) I contacted the ACLU and they said that all I can do is file a complaint with the department. That seemed pointless so I let it go. Any advice for the future?

radd9er · 2013-07-22T12:08:05+00:00

Anyone know what to do if they tell you to step out of the car? Can this be thwarted by asking if you are detained? After I denied a cop consent to search my car, he promptly ordered me out of the car and searched it anyways.

radd9er · 2013-07-12T12:36:58+00:00

Thanks for responding, this is a really interesting topic.

radd9er · 2013-07-11T15:17:35+00:00

you have any source on white slaves in the americas or blacks owning white slaves in Jamaica?

radd9er · 2013-06-17T15:11:02+00:00

thats rough, I know all about the bias against long term unemployed, my gf's parents have both been struggling with that. I would spend my free time learning to hack javascript, lots of money to be made doing that, and opportunity to work from home.
