*Hoarder victory dance!* I bought this curved cymbal stand arm several years ago, honestly not having a particular need for it, but enticed by the novelty, and it was on closeout—presumably not a big seller. Today I was trying to figure out how to mount a crash on the far side of my rack tom without adding a whole new stand, and a memory lightbulb lit up! It’s perfect.

As mentioned earlier, I sat behind a drum kit for the first time in my life today. Here is a short clip from 30 minutes into the lesson of me drumming along to “Free as a Bird”. I feel I’m off to a reasonably good start.
@buffyleigh Great tune, and such clean snare #drumming!
My first public gig as a musician was at David Bowie's Beckenham Arts Lab. From then on, my musical career was downhill all the way.

Tried Joysticks N' Sliders for a "Burnout" by Green Day drum animation. Epic Fail!
Not built for complex animation like that. Might use DUIK Bassel 2 or Cartoon Animator 5 instead.
Peep the WIP! More to come! Stay Posi, Keep Creating!
I was hired to play drums / percussion for a school production of Hadestown. Opening night yesterday. I hate musicals but this one is special….the kids are great in it.
A little bit of to get you through the week.

Well, Mastodonians, should I do it?

He wanted a more organic sound. Distorted, rough, but with a good ting-ting.
He used a radiator as a ride cymbal.
Drummers are built different and that's just great.
‘Bout to go in and see Antonio Sanchez playing his Birdman soundtrack improvised live. It’s at the Patricia Reser auditorium, which has an excellent recently done ventilation and filtration system. Mask too of course.

An upcoming idea, with open options, and not written down yet.
It seems to work well for #drumming, and worse for non-#drums.
It is about #patterns based on counting sequences. A simple example could be linear:
0 - hi-hat pedal
1 - snare
2 - ride
3 - kick
Your playing goes:
0000 0001 0002 0003 0010 0011
etc. to end on
3332 3333
And the point is to NEVER write it down in notation. ;p The #challenge is exactly in doing the counting while playing.
Let's hear it in a ridiculous tempo.

Rejoined Mastodon after a brief hiatus. Main interests lay on #Retrocomputing #Drumming ( #hardrock and #hairmetal ), and as least as possible? Politics
Retrocomputing wise I am a fan of the #TandyColorComputer and the #Z80 based #TRS80ModelI1and #TRS80Model3 but #Atari #Commodore #TexasInstruments and #Sinclair are always welcomed .
