it spent 5 days in a truck in sub-freezing temperatures and was *still in tune* when i opened the case

also hello it's 7am and i've been at it for three hours already. today's gonna be fun

just a few centimeters and i just unstuck myself from the 130 bpm plateau i was stuck at for the past 5 days.
can't overstate just how much i live for this stuff

like, i just realized that if I scoot a few cm backwards on my seat, my left leg ends up at an angle where I can move my ankle independently with less effort.
It also unlocks my left elbow which 1/ helps with tendinitis prevention, and 2/ helps me hit rimshots more consistently.

accurate 16th note double pedal runs at 180bpm just require something of a zen state. kinda feels the same as practicing FraKctured on guitar back in the day.
just an intimate mindfulness of your posture and every muscle group you're mobilizing at once.
I LOVE THIS SHIT

the drums on this song are nothing special, compared to other Band-Maid bangers, no weird subdividing of 4/4 or anything, it's just... heavy. and violent. and precise. and so goddamn freaking *fast* my brain has trouble processing it.

and now that I think about it a voice-trained transfem beatboxer would absolutely rule the world.

access to all the lower, fat resonance *plus* a killer raised-larynx upper register? holy shit that'd rule so hard

if there's one of you out there you're absolutely godlike and i love you

the human voicebox really is *the* perfect instrument

also god Yela's vocals are just so incredibly smooth, the mix is wild (panning automation for *days* on the hats omg) and also WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE BASSES i need like three synth pedals and a monster EQ work to get even close to that on a 5 string

my brain yearns for the first polyrhythmic beatbox project of this caliber. i fear I wouldn't ever recover from that but idc

wearing all black while living with a black cat is a constant "ohgod you scared me - wait no this is my coat" experience

hot 170bpm singles in YOUR area!!!
