#drumday

This has been a bit of a frustrating exercise. I just wanted to record a video, but the computer had other ideas. I use Ubuntu Studio (type of Linux) and have a program called guvcview that can record

WARNING! The drums come in a bit loud at the start, so mind your hearing. I was looking for something to play along with from the vast selection on Drumeo. I looked at a couple of songs, but they need

This may be my least interesting drumming video to most people. I am playing a 'rudiment' called the double stroke roll. You will see that guy can play them really quickly, but I am still developing my

Time for another drum cover. This is another from the Drumeo library from Coldplay. This is rated as pretty simple and it mostly is apart from a few 'ghost' notes. It does have some variety as there are

Happy monday! I am still trying to keep up fairly regular drumming videos as a log of my progress. On the Drumeo school they had this recent lesson where they showed five different levels of playing

On the Drumeo school they do a monthly collaboration video where students film themselves playing a song. This month is was Lovely Day by Bill Withers. I was dithering over joining in, but did send in

Happy Monday! It may mean the start of a work week, but for me it means some drumming. I did not play much last week as I was away, but I took my sticks for some practice. I just completed the 30 day single

I am still busy with the Drumeo courses. I mentioned last week that I was doing a 30 day challenge to improve my single stroke roll. I am two thirds of the way through and making good progress. I am still

Another fun week of drumming. I am enjoying the Drumeo lessons and have been watching other stuff on there such as their history of electronic drums. My own new drums may be here fairly soon. I just had

I recorded a track last week for the @radioliquorice show that my local musician friends put together. I had been thinking for a while of recording a version of Django Reinhardt's Minor Swing. I did it

I have @dickturpin to thank for the inspiration for this video. He tweeted a video of a performance of AC/DC's Thunderstruck by hundreds of drummers. So I had to have a go at that. On Youtube you can find

I have not done a #DrumDay video for a few weeks. With travel and COVID there has not been so much time for drumming, but I will get back into it. Billie Jean by Michael Jackson is often given as a prime

I have not been making so much music lately as I caught the dreaded COVID last week and and am still suffering a bit with it. Today I am back to some drumming and trying to expand on what I tried previously

I have not done a drum video, or any video really in a while. I need to get back into it as it forces me to practice. I was looking for some basic drumming exercises that could improve my technique. It

I wanted to record a song for @radioliquorice at the weekend, so I pulled up Ardour and plugged in my guitars via my Zoom G3X. I played Need Your Love So Bad by Fleetwood Mac at our last open mic and wanted

I have been doing more messing around on the drums lately, but needed to find something to actually learn for today. There are tons of drum lessons on Youtube and I found this one from Jeff Randall. I

I have been a little lax in keeping up these videos on Monday #DrumDay, but I have been playing a bit anyway. This time I am working from a nice lesson from the Drumeo school. It covers various beats Dave

I have been playing my drums some more over the last week, but I only attempted this Coldplay song today. I was looking at what was available on the Drumless channel and found this one, amongst the hundreds

For #Drumday this week I have a song I recorded last week for the @radioliquorice show that our local music community put together. I opted to cover the song Flume by Bon Iver. This is the first time I

This week I have been working on a piece composed by @giampaolo19 a while back. The text and video are in Italian, but I gather it is based on the style of Bruce Springsteen. It is challenging as the bass
