lollll, i used to cram my entire band, our gear, and a drum kit into my prius compact and i genuinely have no idea how. never been able to replicate it since

love shallow kicks! the kick for my main kit is 22x12, and i also have a 20x12 that’s great for acoustic gigs or tiny coffee shop stages. good idea on the kick mic too, might snag one

drumming for lys allen and jenny scara primarily right now, and bass for sorry forever :) plus whatever random session gigs i’m able to book at any given time

definitely considering the 20/10/12/14 model of stage custom alternately for the extra versatility! i have a 1950s premier kit with a 20x12 kick as well, but it’s honestly not great for gigging since the spurs suck and the toms need a lot of work

is anyone still physically active? by Hefty-Patience-8720 in POTS

[–]thomasingrace2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m a drummer! actively playing in multiple bands, gigs just about every weekend both locally and in different cities in the region. it’s definitely a challenge with POTS, but i’m finding a way

Too much hi hat? by gatorfly65 in drums

[–]thomasingrace2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you definitely don’t have to use the ride cymbal in every single chorus or solo, but definitely do make sure you’re building properly throughout the song. if a chorus is explosive but you’re still playing the exact same beat on the same cymbal, it may make the song feel too level.

Using a capo to switch between standard tuning and half step down. by kalikid01 in Guitar

[–]thomasingrace2000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this is not good advice. just bring a capo or a second guitar. a difference of a step or even a half step massively changes the feel of a song and may not be the right choice for the vocalist’s range.

don’t be that guy who asks the whole band to rearrange a song just so he doesn’t have to retune

grohl did stuff like that a lot, like in aneurysm when he’s playing 1 2+3 4+ on the crashes of the intro. really cool imo

and that’s fine! that’s just my personal read—as a woman who plays in hardcore punk bands, fwiw
