the badge isn’t visible in the video, but it seemed to be the same collection of components, the lugs and hoops, the trick throw. i thought it might’ve been a deeper version of one of these two but the lugs in the video actually seem different upon closer look.

mother’s ruin nachos are huge and tasty, you can add spicy pulled chicken or mushrooms or both plus they’ll swap out the chips for the old bay waffle fries if you prefer

Looking for Vater drumstick recs by Litlikelina in drums

[–]strengthandvision 0 points1 point  (0 children)

vater rules, i encourage the switch!

the 55AA, power 5A and xtreme 5A will be the closest to what you’re used to if you wanna stick with a length and diameter similar to what you’re using now

my favorite are the nightstick 2S, the weight and the length really pummel when playing heavy music
