I never understood the #metalcore#bashing
Yes, I was and I am a metalcore guy so probably I'm biased. But statements like: metalcore is not #metal is simply bullshit. There are a lot of #bands out there with really high skills on their respective instruments.
Another one regarding #breakdown : I can tell you from first hand that it's more demanding on the #doublebass than a continuous passage in the same tempo.
It's okay if you don't like it, we're all different. 🤷🏻♂
Just got word that Sam Ash is closing in King of Prussia and they're having a liquidation sale. Now, I don't strictly need a double-bass drum pedal in my capacity as a church praise band drummer, but...I mean, c'mon.
Quiver buzzed when strings were full deflection +/- (B moves 3/4" or more :-P ) used foam rubber things as deadening standoffs, problem solved #SonicWeapons#DoubleBass
I’ve been ramping up the gigs for the past few years as I try to switch to music full time. Juggling six or so bands and 100+ gigs/year has been pretty challenging. I get a lot of questions about how I manage my time and my calendar. I feel like I have a pretty good system going now, so I wrote about it.
Have had five different careers - urban planning, management consulting, #environmental consulting, overseas development, and #economic development. Have lived in three continents. Apparently I got bored easily.
Was once conscripted in a civil #war. I survived by being deliberately useless at everything I was told to do. Learned firsthand how terrible and ridiculous war is.
