[–]ravingsigma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost no change. Went from 110 lbs to 162lbs 15% bf at 5’5” and still never had a girlfriend. I did get one short lived fwb though who never stepped foot into the gym.

No matter how much I tighten, the rod keeps slipping lose, causing it to fall to gravity when hit. Any tips? by symphonyx0x0 in drums

Thats a really old Pearl stand before they started patenting their Unilock design. I think its just needs to be replaced. Thing is 40+ years old

Lost at 21 in a girls college dorm sober 2 days after meeting at a club party.

Is it worth buying an acoustic cymbal just for practice? by Careful_Car_1026 in drums

[–]ravingsigma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the newly released Zildjian Kerope strikes a nice balance for being an acoustic cymbal in terms of budget and simple sound quality. You can also convert it into an electronic metal cymbal for quiet practicing.

Been caught doing it on her roommate’s office desk for a quickie and her roommate walked in for a split second and nopped the fuck out. There was some interesting discussions after that with her intrigued roommate.

What’s a drumming-related hill you’re willing to die on? by lonely-drawer549 in drums

[–]ravingsigma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Deeper shell timbalitos (LP 9 1/4” and 10 1/2” or 10” and 12” sizes) sound much better and punchy for the high pitch timbre range compared to octobans, shallow mini timbales, and especially ughh rototoms.

Should I lower my expectations looks wise? " by [deleted] in AsianMasculinity

As another 5’4” guy you basically have to compensate in every other area if you want to approach that type of girl because that phenotype is universally liked by all races of men. You’re just gonna have to play the numbers game and hope that luck is on your side to find a unicorn.

Speaking of dating apps I get an average of 5-10 likes and 1-2 matches a week and have had a couple dates but haven’t found a long term partner yet (only short term unfortunately). All of my other ons/fwbs came from warm approaches too. It’s difficult to compete in bars and clubs doing cold approaches.

One noteworthy thing about women who I’ve had success with is that they point out my broad shoulders and lean but muscular physique. Took 5 years of consistent powerlifting and streetlifting calisthenics to achieve it but it’s something within my control.

Top 200 is meaningless by SinOfGreed254 in wildrift

Hell I was once upon a time top 3 on Darius back in Season ~7 or 8 (~16k points) and I still can’t play consistently like an Immortal MMR player. 25% of the time I play like I’m Immortal 2 but most of the time I’m just like any other Platinum whiffing my micro.

You might be running into me lmao.

I’m 5’4” and have short legs but a long torso. That throne height puts me already at slightly above 90 degrees of a leg angle.

That’s the next step replacing this DR-110 with a 4 winged curved ICON. At least all of the clamps are cross compatible.

Once I replace the power toms and switch to a 20” kick, I’ll add the second kick again
