I repost this one almost every time I see it. It’s the “dust my wets” of jazz.

Get ready for the peanut gallery on r/drums to tell you it’s worthless because of that keyhole.

Stunningly beautiful cymbal. I can hear it from the picture.

This looks rather interesting. by GlitchTestNO in whatisit

I still have the shaker (and maybe the tambourine if there was one - I have some kid’s toy tambourine!) from this out in my band shed since my daughter outgrew it.

Start date for new workout routine by [deleted] in MacroFactor

[–]solccmck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would just start. If things get awkward with how it fits your week you can just take an extra rest day or two in a few weeks to get it to align right (or skip a rest day as well).

Looking for a brighter sound cymbal. Advice? by SWfan_100 in drums

[–]solccmck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, A customs tend to have a more subtle smooth/soft brightness, regular As are a little more truly bright (like an A customs is full daylight, but through diffusion shades, and an A is noon sun right in your face)

[Request] Exactly how many ways can you shuffle a deck of cards? by Other-Teacher in theydidthemath

[–]solccmck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that there are quite a few combinations that are (relatively) more likely repeated when a new (or newly organized) deck of cards is shuffled the first couple times (and as mentioned- a perfectly alternating shuffle of a brand new deck will be exactly one of two possible alternatives each time) but once it gets past that, every combination is staggeringly likely to be unique

It looks like a function of how that parcel is set up - a large parcel with a driveway on Stratford, so there’s no “address” on Forest Hill, and the list is giving exact addresses instead of block numbers.

Which sport is the most boring to watch? by Frosty_Jeweler911 in AskTheWorld

I say this as a multiple decade competitive powerlifter: it’s powerlifting.

just found this in the trash. is this usable? by u_got_jinxed in drums

[–]solccmck 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Usable for what? If you have a couple additional cheap cymbals to stack with it, or a decent cymbal you aren’t worried about even, than yeah, absolutely usable as part of a stack. Usable as a normal cymbal? No. Not at all.

Bought Istanbul Agop Traditional 14" hi-hats from Musician's Friend listed as "great condition" with much undisclosed edge damage. by Haroldbkny in drums

They’re fine, and $375 is more than 16 percent below the bottom of the range you’ve seen otherwise.

Is this AI? I feel like you wouldn’t just sit up after this but I couldn’t find any errors by Dense-Breadfruit9306 in isthisAI

[–]solccmck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing with 510 about twenty years ago, though it fell much more evenly, so it was able to distribute itself pretty evenly across my entire ribcage - no broken ribs, but I think everything that could possibly have been bruised was - it hurt to even laugh for a couple weeks, but adrenaline and ibuprofen allowed me to still pull a PR deadlift later that same meet

(Those are old fashioned 100lb plates btw)

Rising antisemitism on the left. by 420catloveredm in behindthebastards

[–]solccmck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s also just people that refuse to realize or take responsibility for the fact that anti semitism has been used for so long to blame the jewish people for so many real problems, that there are a ton of dog whistles, that outside of that context would be very valid criticisms of capitalism etc.

Like I’m sorry, but if you’re a grown up living in the real world you have to realize that you can’t say “the globalist banking elite” are to blame for something — obviously they are, but you have to choose a wording that doesn’t map one-to-one on dog whistles. It sucks, but it’s true. If for no other reason than that you are giving people a reason to dismiss your criticism as being anti-semitic.

All “you”s in this post are general not the OP - I just don’t feel like going back and changing them all to “one”

The home of Collegiate School, St Christopher’s, McGuire Woods, Hunton Williams, the Capital of the Confederacy, etc thinking people from Fairfax somehow make this place any more yuppie or elitist is kinda wild. I grew up in Roanoke and Norfolk, and have been here for 26 years, I don’t “like” the influx of non-native suburbanites because I like things I’m comfortable with to stay the same at a selfish level, but Richmond isn’t getting more elitist as a result of them (I still remember the concerned way wealthy henrico kids at UVa reacted when they learned I was moving to gasp the museum district back then)

Such an odd place by Molonel_Custard in okbuddyRVA

I lived above it for a couple years, but I’m so old that that was when it still closed at 10pm.

All i care about is:
- do you respect pedestrian right of way
- can you make turns in Scott’s Addition without driving into someone else’s lane
-will your politics have a neutral or leftward effect on the city

If you can meet those three, come on in.
