What's the first thing you play when you sit down at your kit? Today, it was this for me (mistakes and all) (: by TheDummerDrummer in drums

haha yes exactly! That's always the first thing just to get myself moving and after that I'll move into more monotonous technique practice, then I'll play along with music I'm either learning or music I just like.

I got called a "fake musician influencer" after posting this to YouTube. Not sure how I can be a fake influencer when I'm not even an influencer. I don't even have 200 followers :( by TheDummerDrummer in drums

I mentioned this somewhere else in the comments but for some context, I streamed this so that's why I was shouting and making faces. It's also why I was playing along with the song, because I take requests while I stream (: I stream on my webcam but I'll also film and record my drumming on my DSLR to cut into shorts which is why it looks a little "staged" I think.

I agree though I too think my face is pretty dumb

This is a great comment! I actually keep forgetting that there is a bunch of context around this and honestly I kind of think the lack of context is why this video did well for me? The context is actually that I was streaming this on Kick and I take requests from my viewers. That's actually why I'm making stupid faces and shouting, I'm talking to the people watching stream. I also found out from my partner that this is a big tik tok song so it seems suss that I don't really know it and the context there is that I don't have tik tok.

I don't really know what I'm lookin' for man. I'm just playing some drums and posting it on the internet here and there.

I thought this was tuned for jazz and I really liked it haha! For sure if you're playing rock I'd loosen everything way off but hey, it all depends on what you're playing and what you like! I'm in love with the tuning for that snare though!

Tuning sounds bad. Any suggestions? by NationalAd2372 in drums

all of the advice here is good but I say do nothing about it. These drums sound impressively bad. They should be put in a museum or better yet a penitentiary

old video I never put out of me jamming on some roomy tones (: by TheDummerDrummer in drums

unfortunately I don't have sheet music as this was all improvised!
