@JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof but I had no idea what the hell even the tune was! lol

@TomGrant91 @FreakyFwoof here is the one that Andre did that I just felt I wanted to try to play along with. this wasn't edited in any way, meaning I wasn't trying to be something good. I just let the music guide me, and I just played live. I was just winging it.

@JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof That's exactly what I do on my keyboard and/or DD-35 with the radio on. Unedited, just jamming along.

@TomGrant91 @FreakyFwoof I actually have fun doing things like that. I used to do that all the time in highschool in one of the drum rooms we had. I would either play along with songs I had on a cassette, or I wouold just turn on the radio, pick a station, and just play along with songs that were playing on the air. sadly it is getting harder to use my drum kit with the arthritis in my fingers now, but I still do try it from time to time.

@JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof snap! I would tune to a station, hear a tune like wigfeeld saturday night, find some drums on a keyboard, play along, then find the piano, then jam along with the chords.

@TomGrant91 @JamminJerry Aah, found this one. Track I wrote called 'Exploding Fish.' https://youtu.be/zH0EJynf5VQ

@FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 see now I can't get that fancy on drums. you are just really good. just wow! I still have fun with what I can do, and in my personal opinion that is all that matters.

@JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 take it from someone who's been a drummer for 36 years period sometimes, it's not about getting fancy. It's about having fun and doing what you love and letting your passion show through.

@darren_duff @FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 says the person that can drum circles around me! smile. I got to pick on you a bit there you know. both you and andre are just extremely awesome, but hey, I do what I can even with good old arther in my fingers, and I also suspect a bit of carpal tunnal as well.

@JamminJerry @FreakyFwoof @TomGrant91 but that came from years and years of practice. I would almost rather see someone who can't play that good, but has a lot of passion and care for what they do. There are way too many flashy drummers out there who can't just keep a basic groove.

@darren_duff @JamminJerry @TomGrant91 Pocket is one of the most important things you can be. In a band, it's not always about how much you do, it's more about what you bring to the table.

@FreakyFwoof @darren_duff @JamminJerry @TomGrant91 Darren and Andre speak the truth here. Pocket is far more important than flash. It doesn't matter how flashy you are. IF you can't hold a groove down and let it speak for itself, there's a problem.
