TROPHY CASE

I am a black guy with a large penis that's attracted to fat white women. How many redditors are breathing stereotypes? by Dupenin AskReddit

[–]Hokusai_kun 1 point2 points ago

I turned eighteen in February. I'm almost done with college and I still have no fucking clue as to what I'm going to do beyond my twenty first year of life.

Challenge: Name a style of music you dislike and it's up to fans of said style to find artists that could change your opinion. by getjustinin Music

You should definitely give The Black Dahlia Murder a listen as well. All of their albums have beautiful melody and insanely good riffs, and their drummer is a human metronome of doom.

Yesterday, I scolded a stranger in a Subway. Have you ever had to publicly scold someone you didn't know? by grummlindsin AskReddit

[–]Hokusai_kun 0 points1 point ago

For a few months I worked as a sushi chef in a grocery store in Texas. I was walking through the store, about to clock in, when a little hispanic girl (about 7 years old I'd say) points at me and yells: "YOU LOOK LIKE CHING CHONG BING BONG LEE!". I subdued a huge grin, and then put on my best supr srs face and told her: "Don't say things like that... it's very rude and hurtful. Please..."

I've never seen someone go from shit eating grin to formidably depressed and sad looking so fast before.

Picking up my first new kit in ~6 years. If you had the opportunity to drop 1grand on a new set, what would you go for? by aGreenStreetHooliganin drums

[–]Hokusai_kun 1 point2 points ago

Tama Hyperdrive or a Catalina Maple. Both sets in my experience are amazing for the price.

I recently changed my set-up. How's it look? by dylanburnsredin drums

[–]Hokusai_kun 0 points1 point ago

I've played on a lot of paiste and meinl hi-hats and nothing has sounded as crisp and clean as my A-customs. I mostly play them open (metalhead) but when I play jazz, they sound way better than my drum teachers paiste's that he uses exclusively for jazz.

I started into heavy music with The Faceless and In Flames, stuff like that.

My love for the Death Metal theme lead me to fall in love with The Black Dahlia Murder, which lead me to fall in love with drums all over again.

Listening to Shannon Lucas has inspired me moreso than anything else in the world, and their lyrics are amazingly descriptive and intriguing.

I own like 12 of their shirts >_<

Just got my first band t-shirt in the mail!! What was your first one? by fawowowin Metal

[–]Hokusai_kun 0 points1 point ago

Dove headfirst into metal as soon as I turned 15 and bought a few Black Dahlia and BTBAM shirts.

All of them were amazingly nice and appreciative of my promise to buy their merch online (sold out of almost everything by the time they hit san antonio!)

I was a little bummed that it was my third time seeing TBDM and still not getting to meet them, but next time.

The ten inch is extremely difficult. It's such a sensitive kit.

How high/low do you tune your rack toms? I can't find a decent sweet spot with them anywhere.

Looking to buy a new kit by AsbestosBearin drums

[–]Hokusai_kun 1 point2 points ago

My Catalina has a hell of a time staying in tune also.

They were fine when I was playing with a country group but as soon as I got back to playing metal, they stopped being good and started being trash can sounds. >_<"

Tama Starclassic Hyperdrive or Catalina Maple are my favorite ~1k sets. I own the catalina, but I'm thinking about switching over to a Hyperdrive just cos I like the tom sizes on those way more. And the tom mounts that tama has are wayyyy better.

Best kit for a grand? by I_Have_Many_Namesin drums

[–]Hokusai_kun 0 points1 point ago

I have the 7 piece, 8-10-12-14-16 and 14 snare.

I sort of regret not getting a tama hyperdrive just because of the tom mounts that come with it. They're awesome.

As someone that has never owned a smart phone, I don't get it.

I could use some double-kick advice... by trigg73in drums

[–]Hokusai_kun 0 points1 point ago

I know some drummers use super high spring tension and some that use completely loose spring tension and they both play extremely fast and well.

That's completely up to you personally.

I try to just play a beat with 8th notes and then I'll throw in eight 16th's and go back to 8ths or four 16th's.
