Practicing some 1 hand #300bpm stamina here. just a couple of bars at 8th notes then a few at 16ths. surprising it's getting easier faster than I expected. more of this please. #Drums #drumstagram #drumming #drummingcommunity #drumlife #drumminglife #practice #practicemakesperfect #practicepad #blastbeat #metaldrumming #metaldrummer #singlestrokes #musicianlife #stamina #training https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv6zjngFCWi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wj6gc3jirksm

Love this design. Was gifted this half empty bottle of the #fleshgodapocalypse signature wine based on their song #TheFool given how long it's been open inwoukdnt trust it to not taste entirely of vinegar but it'll be nice to cook with. one day I will track down an unopened bottle to drink :) #wine #alcohol #metal #metalband #italianwine #italianmetal #metalbands #signaturewine https://www.instagram.com/p/BvPIG69lZUo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1aiw62o050n8i

This game caught my attention on the first PS2 demo disk I received with the console back way when. It was only video but it drew me in. Time to dig out my PS2 I think and give a proper run through. #Dune #frankherbertsdune #ps2 #playstation #playstation2 #retro #retrogamer #games🎮 #gaming #gamerlife🎮 #games #gamingposts #gamestagram #gamingcommunity #retrogamingcommunity #scifi #fremen #benegesserit #harkonen #houseatreides #housecorrino #spacingguild #thespicemustflow https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu0uxPgFl9b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zrw9al03w7bs
