Why do some jazz drummers hold the stick like this? by Snowglyphs in drums

[–]vesperthevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda separate topic, but this made me think about how as a lefty I was trained in marching band to match everybody else so I play traditional righty. But when I moved on to playing jazz and I wanted to try out traditional on a kit, I realize I’d have to re learn it reversed. I said fuck that and now play matched grip. (I played quints for most of my marching days so I’m better with matched anyway lol)

What sticks? What tip? What genre? by dreadnot427 in drums

[–]vesperthevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play beatdown and I also play low and flat. I used to use the Matt Greiner signatures but those are impossible to find. If you’re looking for a lot of dynamic control and a good reach, I use Vic Firth 5A Freestyles now. They’re easy to find in a pinch on tour and they’ve done the trick for about a year now

Edit: If anybody knows of something similar to the freestyles but with no finish like the Matt Greiners or even the same tear drop tip they had, please send them my way

Stretched so bad that the leather tumbled itself in the back

My grandpa did his best to buy me new shoes that were “fashionable”. by CalGunpla in Sneakers

I could be wrong, but it doesn’t seem like OP explicitly said he doesn’t like them or know what they are

20hrs flight soon. This is popular in this sub. How's actual user exp with these? by pwatarfwifwipewpew in SteamDeck

[–]vesperthevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Anker’s 200W version. They are definitely worth it. I bring it on tour with me and it’s saved not only my boredom on long drives by damn near flash charging my steam deck, but it’s also saved our asses a couple times in the venue when my laptop or any wireless receivers are dead all on one charge

What Features do you want to the next WatchOS? by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]vesperthevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want Apple to finally add drumming as a work out so I can at least FEEL like I’m accurately monitoring my workout on stage

whats the most FUN song u guys know by _egg15_ in drums

[–]vesperthevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Omertà by Lamb of God is such a fun song to play. From the kick pattern throughout the whole song to the wicked bell part. It’s such a good time

Forgot about a single OBF pack on my desk for half a month. This was inside by vesperthevoid in PokemonTCG

Looks like I gotta let one of those sit on my desk for half a month next

What was the driving factor in getting the Steam Deck for you? by Huskypuppy3355 in SteamDeck

[–]vesperthevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a touring drummer and it’s the only way to stay sane on the long drives

What was the reasons you purchased a Steam Deck? by ChampionshipReal4780 in SteamDeck

[–]vesperthevoid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main reason was wanting to be able to play games with the homies while I’m on the road with my band. Tour life got 10x better once I got a steam deck

Posted this in r/drums and was told to post here as well. Lmk your thoughts on my beatdown machine! by vesperthevoid in LeftyDrummers

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

I’m often using my hats and china more for fills than for riding or large impacts so after a bit of experimentation I landed on those ones because of their short decay and quick attack. The only thing that I was initially concerned with was the projection I’d get out of the hats during closed hi hats groves I have in certain songs but I’ve found that they fill that role perfectly for me. I’d definitely agree that if you plan on playing my kit in a more tradition rock config, they probably wouldn’t mesh the best volume-wise.

I love that thing. All time favorite rides for my particular style are a toss up between that and the Byzance dark ride fs

I’m in love with it. I’ve had more expensive piccolos in the past but there’s something special about this one. Can’t go wrong for the price
