I also got into metal because of Metallica. My parents always played rock/metal for me as a kid, but I vividly remember Metallica being the first metal album I listened to on repeat. It grew from there...

[@alexsunsin]

Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold and Lamb of God when I started listening in high school lol then All Time Low 💀

There really should be a community around cheap drumkits and triggers. Everybody hates on triggers and tell you to get an expensive drumkit instead

[@sqlb3rn]

alesis + getgooddrums = wish granted

[@lucagiraldo4423]

Yeah, the only problem i have is with drummers who have a high quality kit and trigger everything, i myself prefer triggered kicks, but why the hell get a 1-2k $ snare if your gonna use samples anyway

[@gcharocks]

The problem is if you play anything other than metal, a triggered set sounds like shit.

[@gsuberland]

With the shipping on the sticks, look into batched courier collection. Most couriers have a service where you can buy a batch of shipping labels at once, with addresses filled in all at the same time (and even from Excel sheets or whatever), all booked for a single collection day. They'll usually give you a single PDF with all the shipping labels, which you print and attach to each of the packages. Then the courier turns up at your door and collects the whole lot in one go. The only restriction you might run into is with international shipping, where some couriers require you to do separate batches per shipping region (e.g. EU/Schengen, UK, Middle-East, Russia, China, etc.) due to customs documentation requirements, but I've found that some couriers will let you do the whole lot in one go anyway and just give you a customs label to fill out manually on each. The label is easy - you just have to check a box, write "drum sticks", and initial it. Obviously not a problem if you're just doing domestic shipping. Worth looking into either way, to see how much of a faff it'd be. Depending on your location and the exact courier, the pickup option may only be a dollar or two more than regular shipping. It's still a bit of work, of course, but far less of a pain in the ass than manually buying separate shipping for each package and hauling the lot to the local post-office (not to mention waiting in line with pestilent weirdos that don't understand the concept of personal space). I recently sold a bunch of environmental sensor boards and did the shipping in weekly batches this way. Even with just 3-5 purchases per week it was a lot less hassle than doing everything separately and making the post office trip. I didn't even have to interact with the courier - I stuck the boxes in a plastic carrier bag, hid them behind a planter out front, and left a collection note. Job done.

I got to meet Corey Taylor on the very first stone sour tour . We showed up early to get a good spot since it was at a small club.He was just walking around talking with the few of us that showed up early. We all just found out what Corey Taylor looked like without the mask. Coolest concert moment I ever had.

[@groupb6538]

Friendly advice if you have the space forget the resiliante decoupling, its not a tape its some metal hanger kind of better use in tight space if no other option is available. A room in a room is what you need... Read a little on it its very important to plan this right, since redoing thing is a pita, you want say basement wall+ 1 inch polyfoam to the basement wall , then you start your new 2x6 wall at 24 inch distance say 1 to 2 inch away from foam. Then you put fiberglass between the 2x6 the pink stuff then a vapor barrier , then the rocksheet for mass , at least 2 x 5/8 with something call green glue between the sheet, you hang a new roof on top of the new wall so nothing touch the existing roof or original wall ( the new roof 2x6 could be in between the original roof 2x8 or 2x10 whatever it is, to save height space .You got mass ( plaster sheet), you got absorption from green glue, and decoupling because nothing touch the original wall or roof. All of them together will work the best. Check gearslutz forum there are some expert there and lot of good advice. Spend the time and research a little on this else you can regret later and this will be costly as hell to redo.

And noe they've got digital hh, bd aaand snare. Its simply unbeatable in the e-drum world. As long as u use vst, of course. Oh, did I mention: Sticks and cymbals last forever and you never have to change a head again....aaaand U can play as loud as u want, anytime, anywhere:)

[@OlliLappalainen]

8:50 Toe first heeltoe is the ... classic double stroke. Ankle stroke -> full leg -> ankle -> full leg. So while you lift your leg you'll do a ankle stroke and then full leg stroke. :))) that's the toe first that relies more to the ankle movement than to the rebound. :::::::::::::: )

[@willharvey3605]

I'll try it

[@THEJOEDAVISBAND]

the entertainment value is strong with this one.....

[@sqlb3rn]

there is a dude on youtube that does toe heel technique. he drops his tippy first to get the rebound and then the rest of his leg/heel. it's EXACTLY THE SAME as heel toe EXCEPT DIFFERENT. I forget what channel it was, but found it searching for heel toe vidz.

[@robcolone8546]

What are your thoughts on Travis Orbin? The original band that he was in was a punk band called transposed, I was a huge fan. He left that band and transposed was looking for another drummer and I tried out and got the gig. I was so nervous because even then, Travis Orbin was one of the best drummers I’ve ever heard and I, well I am not LOL. But it worked out and I played with them for seven years.

4:58 This is funny. Back in 2008 or thereabouts I saw As I Lay Dying live. It was a super small show, maybe 200-250 people (Small enough the "mosh pit" was like almost the entire venue lol) and my first actual concert ever and Tim Lambesis hung around after the show signing and chatting with folks. My friend and I were not going to talk to him but we hung around and hung around and we built up the courage to do it and were the last to talk with him. I was able to shake his hand and talk with him for a min or two and it made my life....then he tried to kill his wife and ended up in jail and ive felt weird about it ever since lol. To his credit, at least then, he was super nice and honestly made my day to the point i still think about it like 13 years later so I am thankful for his generosity of staying like 30 mins past the show literally squatting on the stage. Just given future events, idk, kind of weird to look back on with 20/20 vision.
