Thick blanket of clouds in front of the sun. As if it would happen any other way

 

[Striiker]

Gonna stare at the sun and gain superpowers.

It’s over for you dorks.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Whoa, this is creepy as f***. Still better than the glare, though.

 

[trostol]

People on TV coverage are going crazy over this

 

[DancingPanther]

It peeks through every few minutes. Super wild.

It's very easy to tell why stupid people alive today or people from the medieval times would believe in wild things around this. I mean the sun is just disappearing in front of our eyes

 

[trostol]

Of course when it's our time to get the full thing..it clouds up

 

[DancingPanther]

Just awesome shit

 

[FLYguy3911]

Was that it?

@DancingPanther A buddy was trying to explain some of the things Larnell Lewis does to me and I can't wrap my head around this shit at all. Heel up double strokes I get. But he taps the center of the pedal with his toes first and then uses his whole foot on the back end? People do that precisely enough?!

 

[Flybynite]

Hey lets go outside and check out the eclipse

The Clouds;

It was still cool but that part sucked.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Caught about 10 seconds at the tail end. Would have had no clue if I hadn't already been outside and the guy I was working with said something. The last one was a clear day, and I took some nice pictures.

worst eclipse ever!!!!

The technique there results in a baBUM type sound since the toe taps are just that much less aggressive. It's not obvious, but it's all it takes sometimes. It's so amazing how these truly generational drummers manipulate the instruments like this. Great drumming is all about feel and that's what these guys do that others don't

Through all walks of drumming most of the pioneers separate themselves with their kick/bass drum work. Look no further than bonzo.

 

[Kermit the Prog]

Worst. Eclipse. Ever.

worst eclipse ever!!!!

Dammit. Beat me to it.

 

[swami24]

worst eclipse ever!!!!

Hardly. At least this one you could see glimpses of. 1970 is just got dark, due to full cloud cover.

Well, The Beatles broke up. Maybe the Dave Matthews Band this time around?

 

[trostol]

oh sure now the clouds decide to break up a bit

 

[dragonoffrost]

snuck out of work and used phone camera to see it. So as to not look directly at it.... WINNER.

Of course I didn't hit the take picture button.... LOSER

 

[Embiid]

My thoughts on the eclipse..

 

[PALE PWNR]

They were dumping their shit on unsuspecting yachts around this time I think

oh sure now the clouds decide to break up a bit

Was literally only cloud cover while it was happening

 

[Striiker]

What the f***
