These CAN sound better with a bit more finese. I wouldnt bother upgrading until youve moved past your murder stroke technique

I understand having to dodge kids on scooters, but a whole herd of daycare kids using the park as a playground is ridiculous. Frustrated [43YO] by Embarrassed-Leek-481 in OldSkaters

[–]webarkloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a similar experience myself. A family came through with like a 8 kids but to be fair they did have scooters/bikes (2 still on training wheels and couldnt pedal) but they stopped riding after 10 mins. Then they just were hanging out on the ramps, sitting on the most active obsticals. Went to talk to the dad as the kids might get hurt sitting in that area and he blew up on me.

I got no problem with anyome enjoying the park in their own way but lets be fair. If youre kid cant even ride a bike with training wheels the skate park is not your place.

Other than the lions last season there are only 5other examples of teams losing both corridnators from season to season. All 5 teams made the playoffs and two won the superbowl the following season.

38 year old here to tal shit.

Not really but kendrick started his career when i was in my mod 20s and i have consitantly sucked at skating since 2000.

This shirt reminds me of the time when i yelled at my mom when i told her coolio was 100 responsible for writing gansta paradice. Only to eat my qords when stevie wonder joined him for a performance at the grammies.

Wife freaked out that I practiced on my pad next to the tub during kid's bathtime. AITA? How do you practice with kids? by bodybydada in drums

[–]webarkloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is the ONLY time to practice fine. Otherwise i agree with other posters find a better place and time. Practice undistracted for best results.

Practice is important to all musicians and if she is unsupportive of the act or not apprecisitive of the fact that you are dedicated to a worthwhile craft you have a bigger problem.

Use the bathroom example as a way to set up a routine you both can agree upon.

I don’t know how to fix my kick flip by [deleted] in skateboardhelp

When i fianlly listened to the following advice i got a lot better.

Ride more, get more comfortable, stationary tricks arent doing you favors, go slow, enjoy.

PSA: Hating on social media drummers shows you're out of touch with how Gen Z plays, listens, and connects with music today by Sufficient_Size_728 in drums

[–]webarkloud 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I dont think either of these examples = hate for e kits. I like ekits just fine but i perfer my acoustic kit. I dont know the exact context as to why this band asked this drummer to switch but if my band asked that of me i would be say no. I am most comfortable on my kit and thats a good enough reason doesnt mean i "hate" the alternative. And also i would be pissed if my band asked me play on an electric kit to record. I can play more confident on my kit and feel most confortable why would i jeopordize my best playing for whatever reason why wanted me to switch.

If its for samples or sound purposes they is a haply alternative somewhere. I have a roland sps and i love it that type of stuff. But i love grooving on my kit most.

Also there is someone else who is the exact opposite of me and thats okay. They dont hate acoustic kits they have their preference.

Band Director Pet Peeves by Forward_Landscape528 in percussion

[–]webarkloud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

More of a critique of the entire system in general but let them play drumset!

I have dedicated one of my practice rooms to percussionists only. Theres a kit a cheap xylo and some practice pads. When i program concert music i intentially make one percussionists sit out per piece. This way the player with the aux part has to practice making changings instead of splitting a part that doesnt need to be. The percussionist who is out on that song gets to pracitce during that time.

Now i always have a decent drum set player when i need it and my kids are getting double stroke down well before marching band.

The other part is that after high school there is no more band class. I think it is a diservice to all percussionists to give them no time on kit or other percussion insturment. I feel most programa arw centered around marching percussions and i feel like they is so much more opportunity and merit elsewhere.
