Hobby Sources

EDIT: to the people who think i actually think i’m pro or good at drums, i don’t think i’m anywhere near good at real drums, i’ve played probably less than 50 times in the past three years, never been taught by anyone, and i do it as a hobby. so those of you getting butthurt because “your toms are at weird angles” or “you play with bad grip”, i really could care less.
I did this video because people requested it, just like the majority of my videos. ggpo

========================

ok, so i actually did this video for someone: they enjoyed it so i flipped a coin and so thus the video is up here. save yourself boredom and fastforward to like 2 minutes where things actually get remotely decent.

basically this is just a freestyle type video, zero practice on this song at all and pretty much no warming up. thus my high dependence on the crash cymbal: if i planned this out, i’d be doing ride cymbal, splash, china, etc. movements.

I actually do a lot better with fast rhythms than with slow, so it’s pretty hard to keep rhythm on something like this.

eventually i’ll have videos up of me doing a real song on them, and the song in this video that i’m using as the rhythm to play along to is “Fuck You Lucy” by “Atmosphere”.

the headphones i have on are actually sound dampeners: i have another set of headphones on underneath them. the way my music room is setup, it echos extremely loud: without these on i’d probably go deaf or something, you can hear these drums all the way across the neighborhood.

also, the cymbals need to be loosened yes, however, the set was used when we bought it: the previous owners did not take care of it, and thus if you loosen it, sometimes the entire cymbal pops off. this is also why the drumset sounds like crap.

i’ve been playing drums 4+ years yes, but in the past 2 years i’ve probably played them under 30-40 times total: i only do drums as a fun hobby and do not intend to be super pro at them or anything, or even good.

finally, the ride is not broken, it’s just a trick of the light, and the china is broken because my idiot neighbor came over one day and beat the fuck out of it.

btw: shout out to reggie, regmo1216 in arizona, arkansas, or wherever the fuck you are, even though i didnt do this video for you or anything, yeah, people believing you don’t know me, you do, haha
