    The drum sounds really good even on the wings of a plane and in the middle of apocalypse.

    I'm just gonna say it, I'm happy I found your channel recently. I've been out of touch with my "musical performance" self for a decade but watching your videos and seeing your quirkiness and talent reminds me of that joy I used to have. I am/was a percussionist (vibraphone was my jam) but your content is always well worth watching. Even something like a snare drum review that I wouldn't expect to be engaged in, you still manage to keep it interesting and entertaining. Thanks! :)

    I'm incredibly blessed to have had my HS drumline instructor be someone who had multiple years of DCI experience and brought the tuning knowledge into our school!
    I've been watching these tuning tips videos and the information isn't necessarily new, for me, but I imagine it's going to change the way some groups handle their drums!
    You're doing an amazing service to the community :)

    At the end of the month, if you decide to keep the beard, just trim the neck beard up to just above your Adam’s apple, and make a line on both side of the hair on the top of your cheeks. that alone will make it look a lot better. Also to help with the itching and stuff, beard oil, beard butter and beard balm really helps with all that. I use all of those.
