Let's see how many we've actually got on here

Ok so i've been learning since May on a very cheap electronic kit. i don't have a lot of space to work with and not enough money and I figure when I'm better at playing down the road I can blow money on a real nice kit, you know, 3 crashes, 4/5 toms, that kind of poo.

My influences are Steven Adler, Matt Sorum, Tommy Lee, and Dave Grohl. Right now, my favorite song to play is Rocket Queen by GNR, partly because it's easy enough for me, and also because it's got a very loose and groovy rhythm (I know that it's true that was what they were going for as well because the band said somewhere in an interview they were going for a Cameo-type funk rock beat)

Kind of weird, but I also like playing to hip hop and electronic beats and give them a more acoustic, less-produced drum track. Most of them are very easy so in a way they're simple timing exercises but the side effect to it is it's fun to play to.

if any of you out there also play the drums feel free to chat, share your influences and what you like to play to as well.

Steve Gadd, Neil Pert and Carter Beauford are some of my favorite drummers.

I played set for a few years, a couple years with a jazz ensemble and did 3 years of Marching Band in high school, so I love drum corps as well.

Most of my friends are much better at the drumset than I ever will be, though. But none of them can touch me on a marching snare.

I've been playing for 12 years now and consider myself to be a decent drummer. I've always played in bands and never really got much enjoyment out of practicing alone, not sure why. I need to work on chops and rudiments more. My band members are always happy with my work so I must be doing something right.

My big influences are Gene Krupa, Danny Carey, Brann Dailor, Lars Ulrich, and Igor Cavalera.

My style has always been metal/blues, if that makes any sense. I love fast aggressive music with double bass, but at the same time I can pour my heart and soul into a slow blues tune like Texas Flood or Houston.

Great to see so many drummers on here, we always need more drummers to offset the thousands of Guitar heros out there.

Playing drums alone is no fun. Gotta have a jam session. I had my own Pearl Export Seris for a bit and was decent(snare, 3 toms, 2 crash, 1 splash, 1 ride, bass and high hat). Always had a hellva time trying to transition between toms and snare.

I hear ya on the metal/blues combo. Both probably the best to just go for it.

My son is captain or something on the drum line (1st bass). He doesn't suck. :P

I was bottom bass. I was really tall and uncoordinated, neither of which has changed much.

I love to drums, but have relegated myself to listening and sparing people eardrums by playing.

I love all things drums, floor sets, DCI, high school drum lines, all of it.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
