For at least 3 decades I have been obsessed with #drums. I air drummed all over everything. I spent a good 8 years playing the crap out of Rock Band's Pro/Expert drum mode and destroying at least 3 of those fake plastic toys. But it DID teach me some fundamentals... Today, at 47 years old, I finally have the real thing. (Sure, they're digital drums, but you get my meaning.) This is my drum kit. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. (Yes, area rug is incoming...)

@killyourfm I have always admired how drummers play.It's something very dynamic and meditative or hypnotizing at the same time.Hope that some day I'll try to learn how to play drums on a basic level too.

@Zelfir I'm surprised at how little space it actually takes up. Something like 120cm x 80cm. And it's not too noisy! (the kick drum is the noisiest part but it shouldn't be heard by your neighbors.)

Between learning the fundamentals, I'm practicing my first song: Buddy Holly! Feels like a rite of passage or something 😂 On the third run, I hit 1000+ perfect notes out of a total of 1101. I think I can do this! 🥁 (Btw, this program is Melodics. Whoever recommended it here is a damn hero).

@killyourfm Well, I guess I am really just curious about a model number or similar. Maybe a store link. Don't go out of your way, though. I just like to look at gear - and think I may get a set for myself at some point.

@killyourfm I started near the end of October last year when I found a super cheap old Roland kit that needed some repairs. A month later I was researching which kit to upgrade to. 😆

@killyourfm On the off chance that you haven’t seen it, drumeo has 100 of their songs available for free (you do have to give them your email address though). They’re mostly classic tracks, and they have full notation, speed control, looping, drum removal, etc., same functionality as their paid version.I discovered it today while researching drumeo & considering if I should pay the extra $50 to get access to the songs on melodics. I recommend checking it out if you’re not allergic to standard notation: https://www.drumeo.com/100-songs

@imabuddha WHOA. I knew they had some freebies, but didn't realize it was 100 songs. Nor did I realize they had Melodics integration. That is REALLY tempting. Thank you for the heads-up!

@imabuddha Ahh, did I misunderstand you? You said "considering if I should pay the extra $50 to get access to the songs on melodics." Still, their interface is perfect and it may even help me learn drum notation.

@killyourfm I think what I wrote was a bit unclear. I was interested in upgrading to get the songs on melodics. However, they don’t have very many drum songs available and the quality is so so in my opinion. So I decided to check out drumeo’s offerings, and they’re great. They are quite a bit more expensive than melodics, however.
