Some in the drumming community are comical
Bare with me here as I rant a little, while laughing.
I'm a member if several drummer groups on social media, and it never ceases to amaze me at the guys who act like if you don't do things their way, you're doing it wrong. They literally act like their way is the only way, period.
I just laugh at it all. Most likely it's someone who may have had one too many drinks (I call it Posting While Intoxicated lol) or that are just trying to be a keyboard cowboy and act all tough behind a screen.
In regards to this, I posted my "pillow or no pillow" post in a few places. This is one of those questions where you can go to different drum sites and get 200 different answers. Let's not forget to mention the YouTube videos.
Some have mentioned tuning, and thats a valid thing to discuss. However, that is a whole other bag there as well.
Search "drum tuning" on YouTube and you'll find 15 different videos with 15 different ways to tune.
This is why I laugh when people act like their way is the right way that is set in stone. No, it's not. Different people like different things for different styles, and everyone does it different. Some tell you to use a drum dial. Some tell you to use a TuneBot. Some tell you to hand tighten then press down and tune until the wrinkles are out. John Good tells you to tap on the shell and tune to the note, lol.
Like I said, there's so many ways to do different things, and for someone to act like their way is the only way is comical to me. Maybe this is just me ranting a bit and maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but it is quite comical. It's also one of the big reasons this is my favorite drum site. People here are laid back and always willing to help.
