I'm addicted to playing drums. Seriously. I know that sounds silly, but I absolutely could not stop even if I wanted to - and I don't. Since I started playing about a year and a half ago, I've spent probably 40% of my free time playing, watching lessons, reading lessons, reading about gear, listening to audio samples of gear, just learning everything I can about this beautiful, wonderful banging-thing. I know an inordinately large amount about what goes into the sound of a drum, different kinds of drum heads, how a cymbal makes the sound it does, what cymbals sound like what, how to describe sounds, rhythms from all over the world, anything. I love it. I listen to music for drums. I listen to drums for music. I own 7 instructional books, I read DRUM! Magazine and The Drummer's Journal, and over 37% of my reddit karma (imaginary Internet points, for the uninitiated) comes from /r/drums. Some of my favorite people are drummers. I feel an instantaneous bond with anyone else that I learn plays drums. I've been working at a fast food place for the past month, saving up to buy a new kit. I may have to reconsider what I want to be when I grow up. E: Oh, also Hubski. I left reddit almost completely after I found it and now Hubski is almost all I do online, except occasional romps through Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. And a couple drumming forums I frequent.
I assume you mean double bass, not double bass, right?
That is correct, though I can get down with the blast beats occasionally.
Please join my band, my last one turned into a fight for the song that brought out their instrument. No, electric bassist, nobody wants to hear you take the main stage with a four-note progression and no improv skills. disclaimer: My current band doesn't exist.
"Yeah I'm starting a groovy experimental project, we just take turns doing four-note solos.." "Um, okay.. do you have a name?" "But Egg Hat" "...why...?" "I don't know, but egg hat."
