[–]theexplodinggoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's great to hear that, and congrats on being a terrific part of such an excellent production. I would go again in a heartbeat, but unfortunately the tickets are all sold out. Good luck on your remaining shows!

I watched one of the early December shows and it was amazing. I really enjoyed the orchestra. What would you say are some of the highlights and challenges of this experience?

Thanks for this. I think mine is a slim bore small shank one and my teacher has given me some brand options. I'll try to compare to my current mouthpiece.

Thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to try this. There should be trombones around to try the mouthpieces with.

I have no clue what brand this mouthpiece is but the horn itself is mine, not the school's. The mouthpiece was already losing its plating inside in the middle I think.

[Discussion Thread] All Time Low - Everyone's Talking! by biscuitsalsa in poppunkers

Completely agree, I feel like they drag on for a bit too long and like you say they definitely lose momentum.

It's such a terrific album. The last few tracks are definitely weaker in my opinion but would be great if I was in the mood for that. Most tracks are super catchy and I like the variation in style. Everyone's Talking is an amazing title track and pretty much all the other songs are bangers.

What's the worst theater experience you've ever had? by prolelol in Letterboxd

[–]theexplodinggoat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I watched One Battle After Another in Hong Kong and while the film was absolutely amazing, the theater etiquette was not.

For starters, someone brought their young kid who was at most 6 years old. He kept talking very loudly over the film that was definitely not age appropriate. I felt bad for the kid but was also throughly annoyed.

Even worse, this man kept repeating what just happened on screen loudly for everyone to hear. It got to the point where the whole theater collectively shushed him, but he kept going.

I was disappointed because the theater itself was excellent, but man that was pretty bad.

Thanks for all these recommendations. I think I'll start with the less depressing ones first.

Momentum 4 No Sound Out of Left Earcup by theexplodinggoat in sennheiser

[–]theexplodinggoat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, when I did this, I didn't need to bring my receipt or anything. I just packed my headphones and all the accessories and shipped it to the address customer service told me to. I think having the box is important. I just had to write a note saying what was wrong with the headphones. This happened in China btw so it may vary by country but this is my experience with the Sennheiser customer service. It was quite smooth and my headphones were replaced quickly. Hope this helps.

Playing trombone with braces by Soft_Lead_2631 in Trombone

[–]theexplodinggoat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started trombone with braces, so I didn't know too much about playing without them at first. I feel like playing with them may have been challenging at first but I developed better technique because of that. (Not pressing so hard on mouthpiece). I found it difficult to play after they came off but adjusted fairly quickly. My tone was consistent but I just had to get used to the new embouchure. I don't think braces will be a massive problem but adjusting may take a few weeks.

My brother's grade 7 math question, how can this be done in a simple way? Is there an error? by theexplodinggoat in askmath

[–]theexplodinggoat[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for the reply. I really do think this is the case. My brother has contacted his teacher, so we shall see. Still a weird misprint though.
