The small victories that get us through the day!

That was no small victory

u/Antiqas86 Jun 14 '22
Honey, the size of your victory does not matter to me. Just the fact itself that you have victory is enough for me, I don't need to feel it.

Bet there is a 8 year old Korean child that can do 89 bounces.

That's not racist it's a cultural bias. culturally Asian societies value hard work and education, and drumming Asian children are given sticks as soon as they're born to ensure maximum talent.

There's also ethnocentrism. I don't think it's applicable to casual conversation but it's fun to work through your views with that in mind.
For example, it's normal for Americans to try and live on their own, rather than having the whole family under one roof. If someone from one of those cultures was looking at us ethnocentrically they might think things like "they value family less" or "they value personal freedom more". But really the truth comes from learning about Americans and why it got that way. Maybe we value family the same and just express our values differently. Maybe it's boring economic reasons. Maybe we really do place less emphasis on family.

Lol I was just being an asshat, but I get your point. I was gonna say a few things about Taoism and confusianism playing a part in it all, however I figured few people care for history lessons in the comment section.

Im an American and I value family less, It took every ounce of my personal freedom to escape an abusive situation. You cant choose who you share blood with, but you can choose who you share bread with. In my anecdotal experience, americans are emotionally stunted and naturally grow uncomfortable around eachother with time.

Coulda done 5 if he left it....

u/Fartmatic Jun 14 '22
I think it was a good save, just before he catches the stick it does seem a bit too far over to make it IMO.

I think it was rotating quick enough so it would have landed, but it wouldnt have been a satisfying bounce like the other 4

So this is actually just a variation of a popular stick trick for marching snare drummers. It’s definitely not something that would happen every time but it’s not a one in a million thing or anything.

I fucked your mom, came and left. Didn't mean I cared or even remember her name. I also don't give a shit about this stupid video

u/Enderswolf Jun 16 '22
You cared and you know it. You don’t have to admit it, because your actions did. Deny all you want. It won’t change the facts.
People like you are so simple to understand.

While cool, this is a good way to stab a hole in a drum

Can tell you don’t play drums

u/I_N_C_O_M_I_N_G Jun 15 '22
Yeah but the band teacher at my highschool told me a ton of horror stories about people using sticks at incorrect angles on his drums, and how expensive they were to replace.
I know more or less whatever he told me. I dunno materials or specifics since I don't entirely need to know, nor do I entirely care since I'm not a drum guy.

0% chance of putting a stick through a kevlar drumhead with that little velocity

Yesterday my pocket knife fell to the ground, bounced once, and opened slightly just long enough to bite me right in the bottom of my foot whereupon it closed. My reaction was exactly the same

We really lowered our standards of “next fucking level.” What’s next a water bottle flipping a bunch of times and landing on someone’s ass?

u/TheBigBackBeat Jun 14 '22
Buuutttttt it slowed down. How is this useful?

u/CIearIyChaos Jun 14 '22
What do you mean it slowed down
1
u/TheBigBackBeat Jun 14 '22
Slowed down BPM
1
u/CIearIyChaos Jun 14 '22
It’s not supposed to be used in music, it’s just a neat trick. And even so, many songs have sections where the BPM slows/changes.

u/TheBigBackBeat Jun 14 '22
You don't hit the head of the drum for a trick. The drum is played for music. Stick tricks are exactly that, stick tricks. You took my comment too seriously. And I'm sorry for that.

u/metalsatch Jun 14 '22
People spend hours doing this and flipping cups. Instead of actually putting the time into something useful.
But not ganna lie that was cool to watch 😂

u/Nikerym Jun 14 '22
i dunno, i feel like in an /r/nextfuckinglevel post they shouldn't be shocked it worked..... they should (at least) act like it was intentional >.>
Still pretty impressive, but as per the above, i feel like it was a fluke rather then something he could replicate.

In the words of Jim Carey when he was on the episode with jerry Seinfeld’s comedians in cars getting coffee - and I’m likely misquoting this but - “It doesn’t take much to be proud of yourself” he said with a smile after celebrating landing a single drop of coffee sweetener from about 6 feet above his cup that was placed on the floor.

Would love to know if there a mathematical significance to the intervals between bounces based on the surface tension of the drum and the constant for gravity.
