Zak Starkey Parts Ways with The Who Again

https://www.drummerworld.com/articles/news/zak-starkey-exits-the-who-drummer-lineup-change/

Any #drummers #drumming here who are #actuallyautistic?

I start drumming lessons soon and have been watching some beginner lessons on YouTube in preparation, using imaginary drums, and I can do 1+2+3+4 with highhat on my right hand and snare (left hand) on the 2 and 4, and I can do highhat with bass drum (left foot) on the 1 and 3, but as soon as I try and put it together I lose it completely

Is this a normal barrier I need to force my brain over or a sign I’ll never get it?

Chaperoning a 5th grade field trip to Old City, Philadelphia today, and because I'm a huge drum nerd, here's a snare drum that was at the Battles of Lexington and Concord, courtesy of the Museum of the American Revolution.

I guess it's time for my Mastodon. account. Hello world, my name is Maja, so called MayBeat. I play drums, handpan, synths and grooveboxes, I'm a sound technician and producer. You can find links to all of my other socials in my profile. Right now I'm beginning to post my own music online so feel free to share. You can also message me here if you'd like. Posts here will be mainly in English, we can talk in English or Polish though. #intro #musicProduction #electronicMusic #drumming #handpan

#introduction time. Hey, I'm Warden. I'm part of a #plural system, figuring out what cool shit I want to do. I'm interested in #drawing and #drumming, as well as enjoying #biking.

I'll probably do more of these when I figure more shit out, but that's what having this account is for. Toodles.

*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.

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.

my view on a Monday night

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!

#drumming #music #hadestown

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.

I didn’t end up buying that Brann Dailor (Mastodon) snare I posted about the other day, because I *did* pick this up instead: a 1920’s Ludwig Professional 5x15, single ply mahogany, NOB hardware. A hundred years of tone!
