I have played the drums since the third grade. For as long as I can remember, I've loved to bang on things - much to the annoyance of, well, basically anyone within a fifty foot radius of me. It was only natural that my parents get me a drum set to play on, and I've played the drums ever since. I really love rhythm. I love feeling like I'm creating the pulse of a song. Even though I sometimes wish the drums could express things better, be more emotional, I guess, I still love the rawness of them. And plus, drummers are always the coolest memebers of the band. ;) Oh, and I also play harmonica, but that's more of a for kicks thing.
Awesome! We need more drummers on Hubski. galen and jonaswildman play. We have the #hubskioriginalmusicclub in which one of us uploads a song we wrote and others download the mp3 and then overdub. It's definitely lo-fi, but it's created some kick ass songs. Here are some of my favorites: Here are a few favorites: Eye for an Eye I Was a Boy Someone To Hurt I Shouldn't Listen to the Radio Two Steps Away I Can't Swim Machine -GOD DAMN I LOVE THIS ONE Half Empty Foolish With Time IF ANY MUSICIANS WANT IN ON THIS, JUST LET US KNOW -It's a blast! To answer the question in the post, I have been playing guitar and writing songs since I was 12 years old. I'm in my mid 30's now. Yep, I'm old but I can still rawk.
Thank you Willchill, the lo-fi nature of the recording is something that we do as part of the challenge. We have had some collaborations where we send each other pro-tools sessions. For example, check out this one I wrote and that randomuser brilliantly remixed: I dig it!!
Sorry for the late reply, but yes, I would totally want in!
AWESOME! Go through the back catalog and pick one. Who is to say their "finished?" Go to town! Be sure to shout-out if you post something. Feel free to PM me with any questions. Have fun
I was unaware there was a tag for this. I WANT IN! I play a number of instruments, which I will detail in another post...
Hey, I posted a new tune to offer up. Check it out here: shout-out to coquelicot as well.
Cool, please do. What interment do you play Dr_Hix?
I play guitar, but lately I've been trying out a bit of production, so I have a lot of VST instruments (synths, pianos, cellos, clarinets, etc). Is that tag only for building upon a melody with other instruments, or is there a call for mixing help as well?
Ooo, I like the sound of that! I can't sing or write lyrics, but quite often write tracks which could conceivably have vocal lines on top. Exciting!
Almost forgot this amazing one written by ghostoffuffle:
I didn't realize that this was how I felt about the drums before but it definitely is. Thank you.I really love rhythm. I love feeling like I'm creating the pulse of a song.

Drummer here, too. Started playing at age 10, now in mid-30's. Still play in a band, though family obligations limit the time I can dedicate to it. I originally stated playing drums because a snare drum was cheaper than the saxophone I wanted. I don't think my mom really though that one through.
