I'm 28 and have been playing on and off since I was 10 mostly Jazz, rock, and classical percussion. I've recently started playing metal and I'm looking for a teacher in the area who can help me with fast singles, blast beats, double bass etc. I'm mostly looking to focus on technique for now as I have a lot of music theory experience and don't need somebody to help me read music. I need somebody to help my muscles do the thing. I'm closer to the east side but would travel to the west side for a good enough teacher. Any suggestions appreciated thank you.
We can thank Bonham for that one
Im almost certain that is paiste... Somebodys hippie mom just blessed you
You're still on the Journey. I had such bad body dysmorphia and was so unsatisfied after losing 100 pounds that I gave up and gained it all back and was truly mortified to discover what I looked like 100 pounds heavier again. Trust the process keep going and don't give up like I did!! I'm back on the horse now and I sure wish I stayed on.
I did exactly this because I moved in with an ex partner who lived rural and it was a fucking nightmare. Fuck rural small town living it is NOT the dream i promise....
That genetics play the main role and if your genetics are bad you wont lose wieght. Biggest load of bullshit I've ever believed
Super under rated kit. I cant tell if this is a birch FS or a Maple CX but either way I love both of those kits and would smash any day. I got a tama rock stack tom holder for mine. It is significantly better than PDPs and not too expensive. I paid $200 for mine with no hardware. Id negotiate.
I learned this from atomic clock Gene Hoglan. Put ankle weights on. If you're comfortable playing with them do some playing with them. Then when you need to do your fastest work take them off. You'll fly. Gene would play the easier songs on stage with the weights on then take them off during the hard song. But over all they will help even if you're not taking them on and off on stage.
Meinl pulled off one of the single most genius marketing strategies I've ever seen and it changed how the world saw meinl. What they did is they spent a TON of money sponsoring up and coming drummers while also developing a bunch of new stuff. So when the new stuff was coming out, they had an army of people they sponsored to show case them to the world. The products where high quality and the world fell in love and the rest is history. If they didn't pull that move sponsoring everybody they would probably still be on the same plane as istanbul
Hard hitting drums is pretty consistent with Sepultura especially in the snare drum department and the way he's playing here def reminds me of that a lot. I think its a stylistic choice we will probably continue to see if I had to guess.
For a long time I'd drink smoke and binge eat all at once as a " reward " and I've scaled that down to smoking something really nice and enjoying a small treat that legitimately fits in my diet and ill watch a movie. I get a nice reward and I'm not doing anything harmful. I know a lot of people will smoke and just let loose from munchies but I really think that has a lot to do with your relationship with food. If you can give yourself something and stick to it there is no reason not enjoy some weed if you ask me. Get some quality and smoking it is a 0 calorie tasty treat
My mom takes her used egg shells and puts them back in the egg carton like a weird trophy of OCD. I avoided eggs at all cost my whole life because of it
If we are talking classic def Max roach and Art blakey. If we are talking newer school jazz fusion I really love Chad wackerman.
I blow glass for a living and drum as a hobby and glass def has all of that and more. Its just really expensive and doesn't always lead people down the best path so I have a hard time suggesting it to people, but sometimes its peoples calling despite the difficulties.
What model of snare is this and what heads do you have? In the past I've had a hard time getting time getting the top and bottom balanced to each other with no ringing overtones and a trick I was taught when you're really struggling with that is to tune it up like normal but then detune one lug like a ton. Might sound crazy but I have 2 snares that where giving me trouble and that worked some how.
Two points
I explained a personal event that happened to me. If what you took from that is that I'm suggesting people save money by skipping lunch you missed the entire point of me posting this by 1000 miles. I do not care what anybody else does and I'm not here to " present Ideas " so others can apply it to themselves. I'm here to express gratitude for a personal win and if you wanna poo poo it because you think I'm breaking the law I could give 2 shits what you have to say and id bet that most people in your life would say the same thing.
Rock enthusiast who also likes metal. One step away from a paiste gong and second bass drum
Have you considered the possibility that maybe I'm not working for a corporation for 40+ hours? I'm working part time at a family company, and I take more than the legally allowed amount of breaks. Not everybody is a corporate slave.. You people honestly amaze me lmfao
Jeep, volvo, BMW, Kia, Volkswagon, fiat, most dodges... I'm just kidding id take them all and sell it to somebody whos proud of their lemons.
I use to gate keep this place because its so good but I love these people and Id love to see them get as much business as possible.
Pho Mekha on sandy best pho in town hands town and I crave it constantly
Loosen the snare wires and bottom head. I like my bottom head pretty loose and my top head pulled tighter than joan rivers face
