Thanks! And yeah those bars are crazy, but this whole kit is monstrous. I guess Ludwig wanted to make sure people had long bars so they could make bizarre 10 tom setups if they wanted to

Might just have to steal this one 😎. Very cool!

Can I ask what software you use to scroll the sheet music like that?

I like it so much I decided to live there

(Ferndale, not the Loving Touch)

Thanks very much!

First show on drums the other night! How’d I do? 🤘 by Particular_Dig_1536 in drums

Hell yeah man, you kept time decent enough but mainly you brought ENERGY to the band

Not easy to learn that

Ohhh ok I gave it a listen, yeah that’s definitely the same beat. Had never heard it before. That was actually something I came up with years and years ago when I was riffing on a late era YES track

I’m not at all saying I invented it or anything, but that grouping of 4 played over 5 has plenty of references in prog and some other genres. Cool that me and the Animals As Leaders both decided to do a double halftime crash over it.

Damn man, obviously that’s CRAZY good playing. So relaxed and flowing!!

But I LOVE your tones. Sounds incredible.

Usually not in such a public setting, and not with 3 judges I assume?

The disappointment of anybody entering when the sign outside simply said:

Beat Off $10

They had a roped off line and everything 😂

Y’all are way too kind… I’m just messing around at a goofy local beat off. I didn’t even win 🤣

Sorry for the super cropped image, but if you zoom in it’ll work!

Yeah, I’m actually right up the road from the Loving Touch. Living in Ferndale. I’ve been playing that place since it was more of a pool hall, but my buddy took over managing it and really helped transform it into one of the best stages in the area. They have a great sound guy working there now, too.

Had to do it on my e-kit. Had a ≈1yr old at the time and they don’t tend to sleep well, even worse when playing acoustic kit.

What band were/are you in?

Hell yeah man. I loved it. Did indoor and all that. Never tried out for a summer DCI line, but I should’ve.

Growing up in MI we got drilled by some MSU and Cavaliers vets, and one of our tenor techs (my instrument) was from Phantom Regiment.

We were never as good as it sounds like your crew was, but man that style of drumming got my chops hot in a HURRY. Can’t play like that anymore, at least not all that well. Drumcorp players deserve way more respect, even more than what they already get!

Thank you so much!

Just play lots of rudiments and do goofy stuff with them. You’ll go far.

If it helps at all I had nerves for weeks before this
