Unironically agree with this mostly

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Im so black pilled but not on this, i dont think youtube can force people onto its platform and eventually people will find something else

Like imagine if TikTok turned around and did a YT like service, thats all.it could have took

I feel comedy should be a haven for people with tough lives, i get frustrated seeing whitest people and people with no meaningful struggle going into comedy. It always results in bad comedy and i hate that they find audiences and i moreso hate that they show up on my feed not being funny

Its insane how bad YouTube is now, theyre going to run themselves out of business

Rude

Im at the point as a straight (hisss booo) that i wish gay propaganda did work the way chuds say it does.

Anything to get me farther away from fucking hot dog people chuds but thats not reality I just dont feel that way. Its kind of a shame.

Remember that submarine that blew up and killed some rich people that was pretty funmy

Hmmm i dont know if i can do 2 lbs in reality

Also I want to lose five pounds before my vacation in two months. I want to lose ten but I don’t think that’s realistic.

What’d you play? What do you need to work on?

I had a gig yesterday, it went well except for Gloria’s Step. Gloria’s Step is a Bill Evans tune that is 20 bars and is one of those circular tunes that don’t have a big turnaround chord at the end of the form. It’s very hard, the pianist didnt play at all so we were lost the entire time.

I felt like my time was really good, focusing on the quarter note is really a game changer time wise I realized. I now realized I hate when I hear someone play the swing beat for 10 minutes straight, it’s not musical also the time can drift because of the subdivision not being consistent. There’s some heavy discipline to be able to play the traditional swing beat masterfully.

I’m getting some tendonitis in my heel and I’m sure it’s from all the bass drum comping exercises I’ve been doing.

Practice

Technique:

[ ] Left Foot Ankle 120-115BPM 10m. It’s amazing how it just clicks! My goal is to get the ankle technique down to 100BPM and then not do anymore footwork for awhile.

Brush Technique:

[ ] Quincy Davis Sheet 200BPM 10-20m. I have a comping sheet from the educator Quincy Davis that I’m working up to 220. I feel almost done with this. My big issue is that I can’t practice on a real snare drum, because one particularly whiny pro-israel neighbors and landlord, and I’m noticing that what I’m working on isn’t transferring 100% to a real snare drum. Very frustrating.

[ ] Ballad Permutations, big circles. 10 m 50BPM. Play big circle in left hand, play all rhythmic one note permutations in right hand.

[ ] Figure 8 Ballad Pattern into Big Circle Comping (The thing I’m doing above) . 10m 50BPM. Very challenging to get back into the pattern cleanly regardless of where you are in the beat.

Microtiming Studies:

[ ] Click on middle. (Comfortable ride pattern first) 110m First two triplets in hand, I get spun around as I go faster.

Playing in Three

[ ] Play in three. 80BPM. 10m. All permutations from sheet.

Rudiments between bass drum and left hand

[ ] KKLKLLKL 80BPM. 10m Start the pattern off the upbeat.

Transcription:

[ ] Transcribe more Roy Haynes.

Listening:

[ ] Gloria’s Step

[ ] Miles Davis - Milestones

Creative:

[ ] Play phrases on 4 and + of 4.

Deep Tune Learning:

[ ] Blue in Green

Just gonna make one big post with lil topics:

1. I am really good at sniping on Hell Let Loose, I must be so fucking annoying to play against. I miss 1/5 shots at running targets 200M away. (I need to stop playing this fucking game)

2. Twitch streamers are not your friends.

3. I miss my partner, they went away for a little bit.

4. Has anyone ever travelled to Japan?

5. Samosas are just vegan pizza rolls

6. I need to take care of myself, I’m in the danger zone of falling back into depression.

YEah fuck that

I feel like I always resisted the path put out for you because I knew my family was dysfunctional and I liked the arts, so being a normie was always off the table, but I also hated being poor. I feel like I stride a pretty fine line in my adult life. I am becoming a pretty good drummer and I have a decent job.

Somehow I think I got it to work, we’ll see. I try not to let myself frame my life as stuck at any point. I’ve seen many times where I thought my life was over but it wasn’t and it got better. It definitely takes some effort though. It also takes doing things you dont want to do and a degree of faith which I think many people have a hard time applying in their life.

The more i get what i want out of life (least amount of work for the most money, more play, more arts, more free time) the more liberated I feel. The world sucks and is wrong, why would I entertain anything it explicitly wants me to do.
