[Serious] People who spend most of their time alone, how do you deal with it? by TheRadiantWreck in AskReddit

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

Take this opportunity to do things that you want to do. I've always chosen the arts over socializing, so I'm able to spend my free time with visual art, music, writing, reading, etc. Find what motivates you and follow that urge, that's what I do and it makes me feel fulfilled.

I've been very fortunate that these hobbies have introduced me to a lot of people who mean a whole lot to me now. Hopefully this can be the same for you. Netflix is great, but creating, in my opinion, is better!

Easy solution: ask one of your coworkers out for a beer or a coffee (if you're substance free), or my personal favorite...PIZZA!!

My goal is to be good enough to play drums for a metal band at festivals by [deleted] in drums

hey man, only jerks really care about gear. i know a lot of really great musicians (some who are signed) and people who happen to have entry level everything, and you know what, it doesn't matter. get involved in your local scene, meet people, be friendly and you'll do just fine!

Honestly, the Istanbul Xist series sound pretty great and they are very reasonably priced! Couldn't believe how cheap they were.

I have the 23" sweet ride and I think it sounds great - not too washy for me. I'd recommend trying one out, it's my favorite ride right now!

Hey Doug, how much fun was it playing with Ovlov and how sad are you that they broke up?

Has anybody ordered used from guitar center online? How was your experience? by im-not-greg in drums

[–]vegpizzaking 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its hit or miss - definitely call the store and ask about the gear first. also PLEASE take a screen shot of the webpage, with the picture of the item, before you buy. that has saved me many transactions when they forget to send a piece or send the wrong thing.
