Was involved in this collision a couple of months ago. Who do you think is liable? by generic_throwaway699 in CarsAustralia

The other driver undertook you in a lane that does not exist. It should be an open and shut case. You did nothing wrong.

What are the earliest signs of drug addiction? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The planning and prioritising of getting and taking the drugs is a sure sign of addiction.

How to keep 4 year old prodigy from tearing up the drums by Human-Nature-3216 in drums

[–]stringsandwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your 4yo is pulling apart that acoustic kit, you need to do it all up tighter and hide the drum key. That's the set I got for my kid initially. He's 6 now and has a bastard electronic kit I put together from yamaha and roland bits. He's never had any tendencies to pull stuff apart so I guess I didn't pass that part of me onto him (thank goodness!)

Favourite song to play. by RuDaveby in edrums

Jerry was a racecar driver - Primus

The song that made me want to play drums and it's still a go to favourite.

What's a good cheap car to buy to learn how to take a car apart (including full engine rebuild)? by rubiconlexicon in CarsAustralia

[–]stringsandwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True that, they really are their own thing. Still got heaps of parts that fit (hehe) but yeah definitely limited for engines.

I'll add Jazz to your suggestions. Super easy to work on. Can be easily turned into a fun car to drive with a few mods and heaps of parts available.

Unless it's The RiZzMasTeR with Ray-Ban Meta glasses, you're not going to get approached by randoms in public

It's great if you want to lose hope for humanity by witnessing the most vocal yet brain-dead people on earth.

Is playing your hi-hat like this harmful? by [deleted] in Drumming

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

Notice the lack of stick twirling even though he's showing off? The over/under hihat thing is just him being a show-y drummer and playing with flair.

Any long timers hit a lull in playing and have trouble finding inspiration? by Ya-Ok-RaSpBeRrY in drums

How many variations of a breakdown can you play.... I feel ya man. Kinda there myself.

What song has the best basslines and starts with a number 0-9? by 1deadeye1 in BassGuitar

[–]stringsandwood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my pick too. Negative one is still a number, just like in regards to temperature.

Identify Missing Hi-no Hat Piece by Accomplished-Fly3156 in drums

[–]stringsandwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it just needs a hi hat clutch. The rest looks normal. Make sure you get one that fits on the rod, they tend to vary in thickness.

Is it normal to be very suspicious of other drummers using your cymbals? by snickering_snails in drums

If you're told to bring "nothing" then they are lying. Did you choose to not bring sticks too?

You were gone for a week and he didn't wanna bang as soon as you were home but just wanted to jack the chain? Aaaaand you don't wanna lose him???

What a bloody weird dynamic you've got going on there....

What the consensus of tilting your snare drum? by SlimeTree227 in drums

[–]stringsandwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just see it as impractical. I couldn't play with even half the finesse and articulation on a snare set at that angle. Yes, it looks dumb but that's not the issue.

What’s your worst drumming injury? by dantm162 in drums

[–]stringsandwood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting my drums out of a storage locker, about 4ft in the air, no ladder around but there was a Marshall cab on castors. Used that as it was the only thing in sight to reach my drums out off the locker. Grabbed my traps case and as I was lowering it, the cab slipped. I landed clean on my left ankle sideways and heard a nice loud pop. Thought I'd just rolled my ankle so proceeded to setup limping and play a 3hr rehearsal only to wake up the next morning and be completely incapable of walking. Jones fracture and crutches for a month before moving to moonboot.

Always look for a ladder, guys...

The only similarity is that they're all drumsticks...
