I miss that form factor 🥲
Vanished before I ever really had the means to own one!

Yeah as much as I find the 3D printer useful *sometimes* I am loathe to use it where some other hack or existing thing will work 1000x better than any nonsense I could contrive.

The official drum mount bracket is really quite good, very solid, would probably accept a sawn-off selfie stick 🤔
But then the temptation to also try and badly CAD something in Blender that I could just print...

Right now I’m being a cheapskate, sitting the phone on the floor tom and just having good aim 🤣

38mm I think- can buy the rack clamps separately but they are £££££
If I’d bought two kits and split one up as spares I’d probably have paid for the other one 🤣

Curses! It’s west of me which logistically speaking means it might as well be in another country and geographically speaking it almost is!

Dunno if it’s the cold snap or the youngest constantly elbowing me, but it ain’t no fun.

Can’t you… like… debunk them? 🤣
Actually scratch that I really don’t want to imagine what a 3D visualisation of an AI turning out “content” might look like 🤢

On the plus side I can switch between open and cross hands while I’m in the groove and be equally mediocre at both. My foot refuses to keep a reliable bass drum pattern throughout though…

That’s to say I can keep time with my left (dominant) hand and drum off beats over the top without thinking about it, but it all falls to pieces if I try to swap roles.
Working on some exercises to try and fix this 😬
