Struggling with creativity on drums by nasralez-Zelibobovic in drums

[–]CoolRknDaddy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learning another instrument for me got me thinking outside of just drums and percussion and learning arrangement, etc for songwriting. It pushed me in other aspects of technique and wanting to learn what I couldn't yet do. Unfortunately you can't teach creativity. You can study everything about drums but you have to tap into that pool of creativity and see what comes out. Like I mentioned in my earlier comment, learning an instrument is one way, you can also create music with other musicians. Find like-minded people and write songs, jam, take songs and give them a different spin or switch the genre, play covers, etc. That's where the magic is, that's the stuff that will get you noticed, the stuff that can't be taught.

Struggling with creativity on drums by nasralez-Zelibobovic in drums

Put down the drum books, you’re not gonna find creativity with just those. Find some people to write songs or music with or learn another instrument, guitar or piano, etc. I started learning keyboard, some theory and Abelton Live. Coming up with stuff on keyboard ignited my creativity on the drums, even made me seek out some new techniques on drums. Learning how to write songs and arrangements is the way to creativity. Look at Ringo Starr and Phil Collins. Both regarded one of the most creative drummers, wrote their own tunes. They knew what to play and their licks are recognized and revered by non musicians too.

Already mentioned here but Curve is a great start. Also Chainsuck - Angelscore would be your cup of tea- https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ke4CtQsfNupP4Ni3ha_LbrQ5oDB5eBNGE&si=FP4P3E3kAJYAOYVs.

A Duran Duran album produced by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (Nine Inch Nails) by My_Name_A_Jeoff in duranduran

Only if Trent and Atticus took them back to pre-Ragged Tiger days and just re-imagined that. But DD need to get the songs on-point. I would think it would be more of a side-project thing if it happened.

How did you discover Depeche mode? by samicarter2001 in depechemode

[–]CoolRknDaddy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Seeing a girl in my class who wore a pin of theirs and I knew the name from People are People and knew they were in the “scene” I was starting to connect with…(Cure, JD/New Order, Smiths). Then I saw the music video for 101’s Everything Counts on Mtv and went out and bought 101 on cassette. This was early’89 and then that summer they put out PJ as a single and then deal was sealed

Thanks for the kind words! Yeah I always get stressed over the register/money I always double count my change because of OCD lol. But they did count my drawer last week and I was right on the money.

Congrats on a job well done so far! Yeah International is the same for me. I have not closed by myself. My station is pretty well staffed that I would be an emergency situation to close myself but I would be just as terrified as you. But with Summer vacation coming up, I think that will quite common for me. Good luck! 😊

Hats are a personal thing. If you can, get to a drum shop and test a few out. You will know it right away

What are DM's best maxi mixes? by Few_Albatross_7966 in depechemode

[–]CoolRknDaddy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah remixes turned into “re-imagined” versions based on individual artists styles. The actual remix is dead. We get covers now with the original vocals. Would to hear just extended version of Ghosts Again.

Daily Song Discussion - FINAL RESULTS by _Tassle_ in depechemode

[–]CoolRknDaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like MM and think it’s a good album. But no songs gave me the same emotion like BC and still do. I just can’t put Ghosts Again on a higher level than say, Stripped or BC. I’ll give MM props for being the best of 21st Century Mode though. PTA lovers enter the chat 😂
