KeepACoolin:
I agree.

Moist Cowboy:
I spent 7 months learning theory, independence, and rudiments

BUT

I sorta suck with playing with people!

Any effective ways to work on this, other than the obvious play with lots of people a lot?

I notice that oftentimes I can't get away with playing something different on my right hand and foot, so that when I hit the ride or hi-hats, say an extra time in the measure my right foot will follow along. It's just a tad bit annoying.

you know what? I'm just gonna go ahead and say it: rock band.

i'm not bullshitting you.



Alright here's something I've always wondered about: The Drummer's Poop.

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but since I incorporate a lot of double bass into my practice sessions, my lower body moves a lot. Has anyone experienced having to take a really wicked dump right after or during practice sessions often?

Scandanavian War Machine:
hmm no, can't say i have.


in other, drum related, news i finally went and picked up my drums from my parents' house last week and i am so stoked. i haven't really played them much in quite a long time but now they are in my living room, accessible at all times. it is great.

espescially because my buddy is bringing over his computer today and we are going to record so many goddamn songs! whoooo

Patrick:
Back when I was still an active drummer (fuck me, it's been 4 years) I had a lot of what you mentioned, Troll. Probably not to the same extent, because most of my left leg's movement was just me getting very active on a hi-hat.

So after not having played drums for several years, I'm thinking of getting back into it. I've never actually owned my own kit, but I know how to tune drums and all of that shit. I'm just wondering if I should save up and spring for a really amazing, high-end kit (like a Ludwig Vistalite, I plan on doing a lot of recording and maybe even gigging) or if I should just stop drooling over pretty gear, get something less expensive, and just upgrade as I keep going on with my music.

Also, everybody here should listen to some goddamn Caribou. I've only ever heard the one song "Twins" (thanks, Tommy) but holy SHIT I've never heard anything that amazing out of a single drummer.
