Allow yourself some time to grief. These things aren't easy. And the age? Fuggetaboutit ;) Most of it's a mental game. Commit to being 69 'young' and you will be. Life is peaks and valleys. Sounds...

I hope he gets what's coming to him. Did you ever confront him later in life?

That's crazy! Wait, you mean Vinnie Colaiuta? You went to the same school as him?

Had to learn a few songs for a sub gig I'm doing. Worked on trying to make standard beats more creative.

(I just noticed this thread has over 2800 replies. It goes back to 2010. - Damn! )

I think Battle of the Bands are fun and they build community...as long as it doesn't get too aggressively competitive. It should bring musicians together in a brotherhood, not drive them apart.

I think that's the internal instinct that guides us almost supernaturally. It's what makes artists pick up a brush and writers pick up a pencil. That old saying, "I didn't choose it, it chose me"...

Wow, that's bad! I can't imagine having to grow up in that atmosphere. Sorry man... but at least it brought you to drums.

:loller4:

Wow!! That's exciting, good for you!

For me it was instinctual. I felt rhythm from a very young age. It wasn't any one song or seeing someone play live. I just knew that I wanted to play drums as if it was brought over from a previous...

These sticks were designed for The Waters senior living community in Minnesota. Besides bands, Drum Bum also provides custom sticks for companies and brands that wish to have them for a drumming...

You know, when I see your videos, I think of you as not just a drummer, but an artist. You have wonderful creativity and aren't afraid to step outside of the box to make your art. So cool!

So sorry Rick! ... I'm going to make my 2nd appt. tomorrow. This acted as a reminder so I appreciate it.

Great job and a cool tune that allows for some drum fills. That's always a plus!

I concur. It often just gets drowned in the mix. Also, it's more likely to happen with a wood drum than a metal one.

"Elbow Grease"... now there's a novel concept, lol.

Have you tried Magic Eraser? If you only have some marks, that might do the trick.

They were the revolutionary when they first came out. Amazing to look back and see how far everything has come. Think about it, that was before iPhones and Androids had come out.

I echo that welcome jasyr!

Looks sell products but aren't always a testament to their quality or sound quality. I listened to it online and it's too high end and ringy for my taste. Plus, you can...

Very creative. Welcome to Drum Chat!

Whoa! I need to get out more. :loller4:

Gosh, have that many years gone by? Seems like just yesterday I had a TD-7 Roland kit. Now they're up to 27! - Enjoy!

Sounds great. Out of curiosity, do you also play an acoustic kit?

I guess the most common that you hear is 'Sticks' or 'Stix'. I've also heard 'Bam Bam' and 'Animal' through the the years. Any of you guys have a drumming nickname? What about a band nickname? I was...
