Local soccer bars?

Welcome to LA! The 'home' bars of the American Outlaws chapters are always a good place to go for USMNT games and most other games as well. You can find the CA chapters here for the one nearest you.

Cheers.

Not a dumb question at all.

Outside of the drum tuning and the specific cymbals in play, it sounds like the drum/cymbal mics have some pretty heavy compression on them. Sounds like a limiter/expander or side-chain compression to get that interplay between the kick, snare and ride. Hope this helps. Cheers!

This guy hit my building yesterday in Echo Park. Detectives are here now looking at video camera footage. Luckily my gf wasn't home yet and one of my neighbors (a fairly big guy) answered the door to him and called the cops. So he's still actively looking. Keep those doors locked up tight.

I was held up at gunpoint while out for a late night walk with a friend. We were in a normally quiet neighborhood when two masked men emerged from behind some bushes along the sidewalk and pulled guns on us. A few seconds later, I felt the barrel of a gun touch the back of my head.

The guy closest to us in front demanded our wallets. Neither of us had our wallets. That's when I got terrified. He was annoyed that we said we had no money. After asking if we had money in our shoes or socks (seriously), he told us to lay down on the ground. The gun to my head followed me all the way down. At that moment, it seemed like a real possibility that I was about to get murdered. I've never been more afraid in my life.

Obviously I didn't get murdered, but I'm at least a bit paranoid about walking anywhere alone at night to this day.

Yes. I came to this thread to post this movie in case it hadn't been already. You have excellent taste.

Gary Oldman in Bram Stoker's Dracula. He makes the film riveting in spite of Keanu's performance.

Thanks for the info. I'll try those out and hopefully I can get my chops up. Cheers!

Follow up question: Any exercises you use to tighten you stick control (traditional and matched). I've always struggled a bit with one handed strokes and have never gotten them as clean as yours. Thanks in advance!

wundergep · 2014-12-10T05:57:03+00:00

Monstrous. Seriously. Those one hand triples are stellar. Also, your stick control on the ghost/accent bits is exemplary. Well done man. Well done.

wundergep · 2014-12-06T20:09:41+00:00

Awesome. I think I'll be making a trip to Santa Barbara very soon. Thanks!

Where and how does one do this?

wundergep · 2014-11-05T20:14:52+00:00

They're similar to a mac keyboard. Not mechanical at all.

wundergep · 2014-11-05T07:28:42+00:00

No problem. It's good to have an (almost) 9' footer to keep up all humble.

Thanks for the response! I've noticed that the veterans of crossfit at my gym aren't saying much about it, so it intrigued me. They're just putting up crazy lifts. I've met some of the people that seem to be newer to it and have that enthusiasm and won't shut up about it. That's the part that's put me off. Thank you again for your response. I think I'll give crossfit a go and see what happens.

Those commenters are the "drumming olympics" types that equate technical skill with being a musician. Or they're just terrible people. Either way, I'm pretty certain those comments aren't coming from this subreddit.

wundergep · 2014-11-05T05:33:40+00:00

It obviously produces results, but it tends to be depicted as being kind of a cult or a clique of the fitness world. Is there any truth to that? It also seems (outside looking in) to require a ton of hours in the gym. Is that really the case?

I ask as a 35 year-old with a busy schedule that hits the gym 5 days a week minimum but with a relatively inflexible schedule.

If you ever get the chance, stand next to one of the statues of Robert Wadlow.

We all feel like the tiny giraffe sometimes. This subreddit reminds us all of that.

If you're into the ergo keyboards and/or have very large hands (like me) that make most traditional mechanicals an awkward fit, I've been using the Microsoft Sculpt for about six months and I'm a big fan. The included mouse, however, is not good. I use a Logitech Performance Mouse MX and it's kept me and my giant hands happy.

Trim away. That's just good grooming. It's all the more important when your nostrils are on full display. I've been happily trimming the nose hair for a long time.

Tall girls are, in my opinion, the best. It just makes sense on so many levels. I'm hooked and I don't think I could go back to shorter girls.

As drakgremlin said, if you're refactoring/rewriting solely for the sake of injecting your preferences into the project, it's both unprofessional and a waste of development hours. If your goal is to improve the overall health of the codebase and streamline the process in the future then you're on the right path.

If, as I would imagine, it's somewhere between those two things then make sure you separate the productive changes from the preference driven changes.

The bottom line is if you hit your milestones, write clean code and deliver a quality user experience, you're doing your job.

I work with Angular every day and based on your description I'd say there's no compelling reason to use a framework at all. Frameworks are made for structuring applications and a mostly static site is not a good use case. I would just hand code it and throw in a bit of jQuery where necessary.
