I’M OVER ONE MILLION!!! AAGGGHHHHH!!!!
I reached the magic number on True Love Waits by Radiohead. The song technically doesn’t have a drum part… but I made one up. And it was fun. I’m sure Thom Yorke would glare disapprovingly.
EVIDENCE:
This weekend was spent entirely playing the drums, give or take a few bouts of Smash Bros Brawl. I got around to rearranging my room so that I could actually make it to the dresser in the morning without toe stubbing incidents. The drum set is now safely tucked into a corner, thusly:
The drums have a hit counter on them that tells you how many times the pads have been struck. I’m over 200,000 hits. It’s pretty scary how quickly it adds up… especially considering I was only 100,000 on Friday.
Favorite song so far to play on da drums: Jigsaw Falling Into Place by the Radioheads. For some reason that rhythm and I get a long really really well.
In non-drum related news, I stuck my camera in the sink and took some high shutter speed flash pictures. I really like how they turned out.
I ordered a shiny new electronic drum set about a couple of weeks ago, and after a series of misadventures thought that they were back ordered until March 31st. BUT — I got word they were shipping last week and they got here today! Wheeeeeee! Yamaha DTXplorer. An insane amount of fun, especially drumming around to music. Weird thing is I can only seem to do one or two beats when I’m not playing to anything, but with music I can pick up a ton of different rhythms fairly quickly.
Here’s the aftermath of the drum’s packaging. So… many… boxes… (full of goodness (It was a bit like Christmas morning (sorry about the over abundance of parenthesis (LISP, anyone?))))
BEHOLD:
