Grooving on 3/4

I've been able to naturally play drims since I was five and I couldn't read a note of music to save my life, or tell you what 3/4 4/4 time is and I dont care.

Hum a few bars.... follow me and try to keep up is what I would say on auditions.


I've played with musicians like that. It's a left brain/right brain thing how musicians learn to play/read/count, I think.

It's natural ability to hear the music. I swear I can sit in and play songs I have never heard before....I can anticipate breaks and changes.

My calling was to be a pro drummer.

I still have my first set of drums upstairs. They are 38 years old.

I spray trees for a living. ha.

That's impressive. I learned to play as a kid on brass and wind instruments. Formal training, learning to read music, etc. etc. I sucked then, I still suck. I love to play, regardless. My medium became much less nerdy in my late 20s when I took up electric guitar and started playing with some cool girls.

My drumset is 8 years old, and I've only changed the heads twice. We're very low tech. I don't change the heads until I bust through them. heh.

I used to use tampons with duct tape as mufflers on the bottom of my heads. lol

My favorite girl drummer was a girl who played drums for a band called Slamm Suzanne. Way back in the day, a Seattle band from the early 90s. I can't remember her name, it's been too long. She rocked, though. She hand painted her drum sticks, just like I do.


And, yes, I'm a chick. You couldn't tell from the girly ass Luscious Jackson tunes? Heh.

You definitely are muffling with pads, not tampons (see, I am a girl).

Painted drum sticks? lol Mine never lasted very long and I used big 2Bs. I wear gloves when I play too. Tackified Football Receiver gloves. They have a sticky surface.

Never heard of that band. I googled....can't find out much but I think they still play.

I like Luscious Jackson. I have a few cassette tapes...lol
 
I actually never realized just how dirty the name of that chain was until I saw it juxtaposed with "2-for-1 tacos."

You're on porter, I'm on wine.

What kind of wine? I'm about to open an Anchor porter. I like me a beer milkshake.
 

lol....you must BE a 12 year old girl....gettin all jealous I'm chatting in this gals thread.

I won't cock block you any more, lady.

jesus christ what a pussy....
 
Whatever was red and 5.99 at Trader Joe's. I like porter too. Stouts are too much work, and lagers are too...easy.

Lagers are zero work. I like a beer that requires pondering and lament.

And I'm more of a three buck chuck girl at heart. ha. I like beer better than wine, anyway. It pairs better with good food.

Ahhh...THREE-buck Chuck. So you don't know the financial and alcoholic pleasures of TWO-buck Chuck (that's what it is here in CA).

I used to drink a lot of beer. My vanity got the best of me, and I switched.

I'm in Washington state. The state liquor control board adds a dollar to everything, and also takes your first born.

I'm fine drinking beer. In Seattle, that's what we cool kids do.
