@lucia @drumming I listen to them too. Saw Mike do some sessions at the UK Drum Show. I've not actually watched his videos, but he was good.

@lucia @drumming That looked like fun. That's what it should be and the audience probably don't even notice the mistakes if you keep going.

@kawunngg @drumming hi, I’ve been writing electronic music as a hobby since early college but had always been very rhythm-focused. I got started with drums via plastic guitar gaming. I got hooked on Rock Band playing at a friend’s house and, having never owned a console, I finally got a PS3 in 2010 with my partner requesting two conditions “to approve the purchase”: that I got The Doors pack for RB3 and The Beatles Rock Band. #TwistMyArm
Got an ION kit but mainly played in the game when friends were over.
In 2015 I sold and gave away everything because we moved overseas. But every once in a while I’d make a comment about wanting to get a real e-kit to learn to play. In the meantime, I had started to rebuild a home studio and ended up with a Push 2 after earning a little money from producing some tracks. I started to practice on it using Melodics, but the “I want to get a drum kit” thoughts only got worse when I noticed Melodics had a drum mode.
Finally my wife had enough and gave me some money for my birthday to help buy one 😍 and I found a used TD17-KV which I upgraded with a VH-10 and a ride.

Still practicing with Melodics (trying 20-40 mins / day) but really should find a teacher to help with small details.

Hi, I'm a drummer and vocalist from Germany. I took up drumming in 2023, encouraged by my band's guitarist, who is also a drummer. We've played some shows so far and are looking forward to releasing some songs in 2026.

Hi !
I'm also a beginner, started in October.
My first instrument was a guitar and I'd like to try to learn maybe (yeah, I'm very self confident) to record my own songs.
See you !

@drumming I started drums a few years ago after decades of playing guitar for fun. I've been using mostly Drumeo lessons, but have a local teacher too. I've played with a pop/folk group and recent swing jazz. Done a few local gigs. Still lots of learn.
I have a Roland TD-07 and a Tama Club Jam kit.

I'm a beginner drummer from Germany. I started drumming a few years ago but not enough time due to life and other hobbies and the occasional injury have so far prevented me from doing any big steps. 😅
But I'm still at it and still having fun!
