Members 1001gear Posted July 11, 2021 Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 I was a chronic head downer on bedroom drums. Not so much on stage - you need to be alert. Anyway it's become a drill not to lapse into a trance and free associate. Just curious about the psychology with head downers. Bad childhood?

Members gardo Posted July 11, 2021 Members Share Posted July 11, 2021 I’m a head downer coming off the stage to make sure I don’t fall down the steps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mikeo Posted July 12, 2021 Members Share Posted July 12, 2021 I had a great childhood, and often thing about calling it everyday. Only in my 50's did I seek any help. It's ok to not be ok. I'm not such a head downer, but I like to watch where I am walking. On stage you need to be confident. I tend to buy nice shoes and why not look at them.

Members 1001gear Posted July 12, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 12, 2021 So depends. I wanna get deep into it and seems like I gotta disable vision and neck support or I can't get there. Strangest technical issue I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 1001gear Posted July 16, 2021 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2021 According to this it thing. https://delicious-audio.com/best-ambient-shoegaze-reverb-pedals/ not only that: Quote And, in case you are wondering, the word shoegaze is a misnomer: it should have been “pedalgaze,” since the guitarists in these bands are so busy stomping on effects they have to constantly stare at them – hence the genre’s name. Not that I was wondering. I now keep my pedals at arms length. Easier to tweak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
