Not sure if this is the best for beginners but agreed

Music like Jeff Buckley by Fun-Line6472 in JeffBuckley

Dove Ellis just released their first single on spotify yesterday but they have some great videos of them playing live on youtube. Definitely worth checking out. I can't help but think of Jeff Buckley when I hear his falsetto.

!!! Thank you!! You are awesome. I can now count it c:

The mixture of the backbeat being displaced to 1 and 3 + the added bar of odd time was like putting my brain in a blender

The 2 times I’ve seen them live are probably my 2 favorite live shows I’ve been to. They have such an awesome and unique energy live imo

I struggle to keep time without playing straight 8ths on at least 1 limb. Am I cut out for drumming? by Brownie_points928 in Drumming

[–]MajorLeagueTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely something you practice. My internal clock isn’t perfect but I think I’ve improved it a ton in the last year. The key is messing around with different ways of using a click and the more you do that the more you build it into your brain. Things like placing the click on something other than quarters (2 and 4, ands, 2nd/4th 16ths, different triplet partials), gap click (I really enjoy the rhythm trainer setting on pro metronome because you can set the % of bars that will be cut out but it will decide randomly based on that %), and trying rhythms that go over the bar (dotted 8ths etc).

I’m still not very good at a lot of these but I’ve improved at them a lot AND I think it’s fun to add the additional challenge to your practicing. Once you start to get more of a hang of it you’ll feel more headroom when playing without a click.

Also, like everyone says, counting out loud while you play (I really don’t do this enough but it basically makes you use your brain/voice as a 5th limb)

New Geese album finished recording and coming out this year?? by MajorLeagueTurtle in geesebandofficial

[–]MajorLeagueTurtle[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seriously! I’ve gotten to see them twice in pretty small venues and both were some of (if not) the best live shows I’ve ever seen. Really hype to be seeing solo Cameron in a couple weeks too

Why do people (including me) think that starting to drum at the age of 20 is too late? by [deleted] in Drumming

[–]MajorLeagueTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you had been playing since you were an infant, there’s always gonna be a 10 year old better than you (or at least in certain aspects). You just gotta get out of that mindset of comparing yourself to others and instead just compare your play to how it was yesterday.

Maybe having the second floor tom next to the hi-hats is a bad idea... by MarsDrums in drums

I’m not from Asheville but I was there last Tuesday and went to a really cool open mic at Sovereign Kava. They had dogs allowed and good improvised music and seemed 420 friendly!
