How to Survive A Mass Shooting
Know your exits whenever going someplace new
Practice situational awareness
If you believe an attack is imminent or under way, alert others around you
If a shooting occurs evacuating the area should be the priority
Fighting back or sheltering in place are distant second options but may be necessary
If you choose to fight back look for an opportunity where the attacker is distracted or reloading
If you decide to fight back, alert other bystanders if possible
If you choose to shelter in place find something solid (preferably concrete) that you can hide behind - if it can’t stop a bullet, it’s not protecting you
Interested in staying alive? Get off your phone and pay attention. This is not the time to film video or get on social media
Sure you’re safe or well-hidden? Call 911
* If you’re willing to accept the risk of being shot (especially if you’re a person of color) by a cop in addition to the risk of being shot by the bad guy, and are properly trained, you should take action against a mass shooter. If you’re unwilling to accept reality and irrationally expect perfection from people struggling to do the right thing in the worst situation they’ll probably ever face, keep your distance and only worry about yourself and your family.

6 Exercises For Improving Your Time on Drums
By: Steve Such
To a drummer, solid time is everything. It’s possibly the single most important role we have when playing behind the kit. But how can we develop our time BESIDES working with a metronome?
In this article, I’ll address six common problems that can cause drummers to play with bad time, and I’ll offer specific action steps that you can take in order to fix each of these problems.
PROBLEM #1 - ADRENALINE HAS GOTTEN THE BEST OF YOU.
During a performance, has it ever felt like all of the songs seem SUPER slow? It’s most likely because your adrenaline or nerves shift the way that you PERCEIVE tempo. This can cause all sorts of timing issues for drummers.
The good news is that you don’t have to just experience this phenomenon on the gig; it’s possible to practice playing with adrenaline away from the stage as well.
SOLUTION #1 - THE “DRUM AND RUN” EXERCISE
During your next practice session:
1) Play any groove you’d like, but play along with a metronome.
2) After 1-2 minutes, get up and run around your building 2-3 times. The idea is to increase your heartrate so that you’re almost out of breath.
3) Come back into the room and immediately play the same groove you played earlier, along with your metronome.
What do you notice in this moment? Does the groove feel slower now?
By practicing this way, you can prevent adrenaline from getting the best of you during the performance.
PROBLEM #2 - ONE OF YOUR LIMBS ARE INCONSISTENT.
Are your backbeats ALWAYS placed on the same part of the pulse, or are some backbeats slightly late? When you crash, does your bass drum foot line up exactly with your right hand or is it a little different each time?
It’s these types of subtle inconsistencies that can cause significant fluctuations in solid time-keeping.

First Look: The Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series
The new 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series from Porsche is the most powerful and unique 911 Turbo S ever. The Coupé provides 446 kW (607 hp) and is limited to 500 units worldwide. In addition to a power increase of 27 hp, the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series is distinct from the standard 911 Turbo S due to its unique design, higher-quality materials and luxurious details.
The sports car is being intricately finished by hand in the new Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur at the headquarters in Zuffenhausen. Previously known as “Porsche Exclusive”, the in-house workshop specializes in tailoring to customer wishes, as well as being responsible for limited-edition series. And for the first time ever, Porsche customers can have the matching chronograph from Porsche Design configured in the same design as their sports car.

#drumsetsunday #drumheadspod #Repost @graceplaysdrums ・・・ First day with the new kit! I’m now playing @nataldrumsofficial, stunning split lacquer maple kit and 14x5.5" brass snare. This kit sounds even better than it looks and I’ve genuinely never had a better tom sound on any kit, so there’ll be plenty of tom-heavy grooves coming soon! #drums #drummer #drumming #vf15 #drumheadspod #drumsoutlet #groovru #drummingco #nataldrums #zildjian
