Maybe I should have typed 'gaslighting', and not 'Gas Lighting'..?

I tried that, but got flooded with quotes for outdoor lampposts ...

Thanks, especially for this^^, which brings sense to the use of the term. Do all that use the term know and understand from where it derives..?

I've read attempts at explanations, with examples, so it must be me, but I still don't really understand what 'gaslighting' is. One of the (many...) words and phrases in modern parlance that I look up, but fail to assimilate (others would be, for example 'woke', 'ghosting' or 'cheugy'; there are others...). English seems to be becoming a foreign language; maybe I should change my reading material.

Is white paint not an option..?

Rather odd that there is no mention of the salary that such a position justifies. One may 'call the shots' when one is signing large cheques.

Sue Ryder..?

It will certainly scare the birds alright..!

That's a small diaphragm..?

I'm fully satisfied with our Superlux HI10 mic (£30 or so from Thomann...), used as part of our drum mic set-up (for hi-hat, mostly...), but also for picking out detail from acoustic guitars. There are doubtless better ones for top-end studios or rich purists, but we find them to be excellent, despite their low cost. Worth a look..? Superlux HI10, Thomann...

Anecdote : It was a concert for the launch of the first Kiemsa CD. The local hall was packed; the whole evening went off splendidly. Come the final number, Our Eldest, on guitar, had imagined a novel way of playing his solo spot, at the end of the song. At high volume, his Laney amp screeching, he took a pair of wire cutters and proceeded to cut each guitar string in turn, to the stupefaction, and cheers, of all present. End of the last song (or so it had been planned...). The acclamation for an encore became too pressing, so they had to return to the stage, but Our Eldest had to remain silent, with a red face, whilst the others played out the occasion. One had to be there; it was a great evening.

Odd. I have that same system on one of my Pearl snares, and have not had any issues, once it's strung up and adjusted by turning the knob. Just lucky..? Probably. My Camco snare has a very basic trigger, which could be sensitive to throwing itself 'off' if not correctly tensioned. I don't use my metal Tama snares much, but they are all easy and reliable. But I digress; an e-kit solves this and many other issues..!

Most snare drums can be adjusted for snap-on/off tension, assuming they're in good condition to start with. Just sayin'; yours may be exceptions.

What if... what if... OK, stick to tee-shirts and hoodies, then.
