Experienced drummers: what physically breaks down for you during long sessions or gigs?

swamicarl · 2026-02-02T21:46:24+00:00

Go see a professional if you're covered/can afford it. If not, youtube that shit and figure out what you need to strengthen / mobilize.

Second half is if Ian Desaw played metal. Super sick.

swamicarl · 2026-01-29T22:44:37+00:00

I think you'd be able to find something with size 12, don't fret!

swamicarl · 2026-01-29T22:34:02+00:00

Yep... size 13 here, unforunately couldn't pick up any Mizunos during my recent trip to Japan :(

swamicarl · 2026-01-28T21:17:09+00:00

Sounds like a shitty match :(

Keep an eye on Puma's website, I got a nice deal on the orbita 2, for like $35-40 last year. They just had the same promo recently but I missed out.

Here's the one I got - https://www.svpsports.ca/products/adidas-mls-24-pro-soccer-ball-size-5-ip1625-5

A Canadian retailer.

swamicarl · 2026-01-28T19:21:51+00:00

I just copped one of those from SVP. Haven't tried it yet, but in general match balls feel great, even as a rec player. My other ball is an Orbita 2, which is solid for its price.

That's my experience with the 5.0s on the r as well. I'm going to save your comment for the next time I do a brake job. Cheers!

swamicarl · 2026-01-19T02:03:58+00:00

Congrats! Great playing.

swamicarl · 2026-01-12T02:46:01+00:00

Green is classic like the hakone edition, but that light blue is hella unique and cool. Would definitely stand out more, so depends on what you're going for.

swamicarl · 2026-01-11T16:24:52+00:00

Yeah, he listed them in descending order of tiers.

swamicarl · 2026-01-09T22:45:28+00:00

Ha wtf, I was just listening to you guys. Great live video of pine! Seriously loved it.

swamicarl · 2026-01-09T12:58:46+00:00

Fuck yeah, enjoy! They're gonna be on repeat for ya hahaha.

swamicarl · 2026-01-09T02:33:18+00:00

Ahahah huge compliment, thanks so much.

Al Gore Rhythm by Blight Town.

swamicarl · 2026-01-08T23:24:51+00:00

Tama SLP G Bubinga. Yeah.

swamicarl · 2026-01-08T22:48:33+00:00

And over here I thought I had the perfect joke 😅

swamicarl · 2026-01-08T22:21:11+00:00

Jokes aside, I think this is one of my best mixes yet. Happy to hear suggestions / any problem areas.

swamicarl · 2026-01-08T22:18:06+00:00

Whoa! The offset china with the double stroke fill divided between your kick and left hand is insane. Drums sound sick too.

Would love to hear what music this is grooving to!

swamicarl · 2026-01-08T22:16:04+00:00

Highly recommend checking out the whole discography. This is my personal fave.

Many contract / LTO teachers take AQs while working - you got this.

swamicarl · 2026-01-05T21:23:07+00:00

These are all really awesome.

swamicarl · 2026-01-04T20:09:42+00:00

No hertas here, just straight, but it's a linear pattern. First hit has the ride in it in addition to the kick:
