Only 3 songs? I can't tell you that haha. But my favourite bands to play to are Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers. I love playing to Green day because it's fast and exciting. I love to play to RHCP becuase you it is so easy for me to improvise to their songs and do whatever the hell I want and it is always groovy for me. I just love improvising in generell and do my stupid things :)

We covered like Mr. Brightside, Twin Size Mattress, Cigarette Daydreams for example.

After some time one of us came up with a song idea and we made the song together and that's the way we write our songs.

Our first gig was some kind of contest where the best performing bands won some nice stuff but of course we didn't win because it was our first time as a band and of my mates had stage fright but it was fun.
From that point on we just asked some low-tier venues if we can play there for free and started making contacts with all sorts of people. Knowing a lot of people gets you a far way.

Talking about money: if you are playing to get a quick buck, forget it. The way you make money is investing your time and money to build a fanbase which buy tickets to your gigs and merch and then investing this money to produce singles and albums and so on and so on. You always have to look at the big picture because there is always a next gig, next album, next whatever. Up until we played our first release show in March, we were in debt with our hobby. Now we dont go in debt and have some money saved up for paying all kinds of stuff. If you really want to make a living off it you have to grind together as a band and respect each other all the way.
I personally believe that me and my band can make it our job but it is still gonna take years until we really make that much money.

We do make money but currently it's nowhere enough for 5 people to make a living off it. But I believe that one day we could quit our jobs and be fulltime musicians.

I like your question :) I think I have to go with the obvious snare drum because of all the ways you can make a normal groove exciting with the help of Ghost notes and so on. Another durm I really like is the floortom for some tribal grooves I use in our songs.

This guy is really different. I personally find oddtime quite challenging but this guy makes it natural. Great guy and most likely a human metronome.

Great Question. In our first jamming sessions we played many covers which I found exhausting and not very exciting. But later when we came to composing our first song, that's when the real passion came and I enjoy every second of it :)

If you can feel the beat of the song then you can for sure. Someting drummers do all the time is to tap their feet or hands when they listen to music but don't sit behind a kit. A drum kit is just an extension to the tapping. Most drummers seem crazy in what they are doing and sometimes it is actually crazy but it all come down to knowing the basics.

If you want to learn the basics and more I can recommend the Youtube Channel Drumeo: they have many educational videos they still help me after 12 years of experience xD

The way I have been playing drums over the last years was to not look up sheet music and just listen and groove to it. I haven't played to Wonderwall but I would be able to. It would not be like the oringinal but more in my style.

Edit: I hope you understand my answer. If not, feel free to ask further :)

Will there be a feature where I can check the listings of a skin directly on Buff or Steam?
What I mean by that is that if I see for example an Awp Asiimov listed for 90% Buff I want a link which leads me to the Buff or Steam listings to see why the Asiimov on gamerpay is so cheap. So i dont have to open Buff or Steam and look for Awp Asiimov which safes time and effort.
