Finger Cymbals Puns

Hello everyone,

I'm going to be playing a finger cymbals part in percussion ensemble and it calls for mounting two finger cymbals and playing them with two other finger cymbals. How would one correctly mount them?

Thanks

I have seen this guy at two other events besides Desert Daze. He stays all day, dancing and finger cymbal-ing. Is he protecting us? How did he survive all three days of not just Desert Daze, but Coachella and the US Open of Surfing too? Who is he? Where is he from? Earth, or somewhere else? Can other people see him too, or just me? I want answers.

Bamboo zill - free! Bamboozle free!

Hi all!

I own a pair of finger cymbals (Zills), that I bought in the cheap. Got what I paid for. They are clearly cast brass, and sound awful. I'd like to see if I could tune them a bit. I thought if I was able to hammer them thinner and adjust the shape a bit, there might be a chance at improvement. I've got nothing to lose at this point.

I've worked with metals before, but it's been a long time and I had access to a fully equipped shop. Now I've got nothing. I'm a renter without access to a garage or any large space. I've also never worked with brass.

Any ideas about a small scale temporary anvil, type of hammer and any special treatment I need to give to brass? Is working it cold an option? Anyone think this will work?

Merci!

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I cracked one of my cymbals for the first time 10 months ago and I got it repaired. After playing it consistently, I've cracked it again. The crack is very similar to the first one, just a small edge crack. It's not too far away from where the original crack was.

I've never cracked any of my other cymbals. I don't hit through them. I have them angled quite a bit so I'm not striking the edge. Am I unlucky with a one-off crack or is this a technique issue?

All timestamps refer to this version that should be watched with captions on.

BLACK HOLE is not on that same Spotify playlist Sayonakidori also isn’t, so I heard it for the first time at the end of my run through Unseen World. And so did mostly everyone else who got to experience it, I believe. Which is a good thing, because this song needs the context.

In its most available version, Unseen World starts with a very modern read of a Purcell-like chamber music piece, with a very haunting interplay of three different melodies by plucked and bowed violins, and a glockenspiel, woven into each other and punctuated by timpani and distant cymbal crashes, all of which very loosely support a tension-building tuba that’s constantly descending in pitch to the point where the song seems to start just because the tuba can’t get any lower. Some sort of unnatural noise fades in from nowhere then takes over...

That is the opening of this absolute contemporary masterpiece of an album. An album that is hopeful and positive but also filled with all the anger and frustration of a tightly knitted group of people who used to be with each other 300 out the 365 days of the year. And BLACK HOLE is its the closing argument. When I talked about Sayonakidori I said it was “the romantic love poem ballad 2021 deserves”. Well, BLACK HOLE is this year’s theme song!

It almost got called “CHAOS” and it is often described by fans as “controlled chaos”, but to me this tune is more akin to turbulence - chaos in motion. Kanami, taking hints from Dadaism and Futurism, wrote an impossible song that feels almost like a Force of Nature. All its interacting moving parts feel uncontrollably powerful and unpredictable, almost unquantifiable. And yet, there’s a point to it. It is chaotic, for sure, but it also flows very deliberately in a certain direction.

A black hole is a real thing. It is an infinitesimal point in space with infinite density (i.e. super small, super heavy), which makes it a hard thing to describe or measure and an impossible thing to escape from ([Hawking radiation](ht

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Okay so I play synth in my schools band. When marching onto the field I usually crash cymbals with the battery cadence. I play a wind instrument in concert and was woefully unprepared to do anything with percussion when the season started. I have been made fun of many times by my section because I apparently look like a baby deer crashing, to be fair they aren’t wrong the only reason I’m in pit is because they really needed a keyboard. I really like doing synth but I want to improve a bit on my cymbal technique and learning some visuals so I can look a little less constipated next year, especially during parades. Any ideas or recommendations?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni
