Hi All
This has now being held, was nice to catch up with Bob, Cynthia and John. I will post another Meeting in about 2 weeks and see if it's possible for Gant to add it to the calendar.
Maybe David could field submitted questions. And record it for replay. And figure out the one day that all of us can attend. We need to keep David busy. An idle mind...
Hey guys 🙂 hope this is where to drop your questions etc for the next hang out , I’m kinda getting ahead of myself lol as usual . My goals are to be in the band I’m currently playing with and STAY there ,, my issue is , yes practice times are being overrun by my lack of technical know how 😞 I find myself going from device to device in an attempt to function and wasting endless hours 😞 What I’d like is to use one device to do it all . I’m willing to drop some cash on something like a proper iPad or laptop , but I’d like to have my SDS there , my music for the band , songster etc . and I definitely will be learning to use garage band ala Tim’s tech talk tips ... any tips on an appropriate device would be fantastic . Yes I signed up for your practice pack Stephen cuz ,, I can’t lie ,,, I may just be your biggest student challenge to date hahaaha see you guys in a couple of days !
Of course, of course, I find out that I am working this Saturday 😒 I am off on Friday the 29th, however, and am open to a hangout with Shedheads available sometime that day.
No...at my day-job I normally work Wednesday and Thursday and occasionally a Friday. Outside of my day job, I'm a writer which is more flexible as long as I'm not on a deadline.
I think all of this is up for discussion in this meeting. Happy to do all the above though, I do expect payment in classic snare drums or warning points 🤣🤪
@Juan I am always willing to give things a try! Though I have played for a long time, I came from concert/marching band. I am new to playing a drum kit. My speed around the kit is slow :(
Hey everyone! Would love to know your thoughts on the new playalongs. They are unlike ANY of the play-along content SDS has done in the past. Better tracks (in my opinion), charts to show song form, drum demos to give you an idea of what parts you could start with, practice tracks, and chart talk downs to talk "big picture" ideas about creating drum parts for each track.
I had a TON of fun editing and mixing them. The tracks were made by a producer in town named Johnny Bertucci, I mixed and edited them, and then also tracked drums on the "drum demos" for them.
Check them out! Stephen, Grant, and I are SUPER pumped and proud of them. They are also a very useful tool not only for working on your ability to think up and work on drum parts of your own, but also using them as "musical metronomes" can be a great way to better learn whatever exercises you are working on in whatever lesson track you are spending time in right now.
