RE: Learning some Dave Grohl beats for Drumday

in Drums4 years ago

Seeing this post made my day.
The crashing of VLC AND Linux is kind of puzzling though.

I'm a huge fan of Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Especially Nirvana as my mother played them regularly when I was a young kid. Pearl Jam was her favorite band, but all of the 90's grunge and alternative is the soundtrack to my childhood. Smells Like Teen Spirit is the first music video I can remember as a child.

That drum system is really cool, and sort of ideal because one of the biggest hinderances of drums is how loud they are. I have never been able to play the drums. I understand them, and in my mind it feels like I should be able to play, but I'm terrible at the hand-foot coordination for some reason. I've never thought of myself as an uncoordinated person until I go to play the drums. The audio is crystal clear though.
I'm trying to get back into playing the guitar a lot more myself. In a couple days I can pick up my new Fender Telecaster-Deluxe. I got a good deal on it used, and it looks like it's barely been played. It's a Tele with double humbuckers, selector at the top, and has the Stratocaster head-stock.

Oh and If you ever have any Kdenlive questions let me know I'd be glad to try to help.

Sort:  

It just seems that certain videos crash my system. I've not worked out what the conditions are for that.

I got into drumming about a year ago as it was something I wanted to try. The coordination is just something you have to keep working on. It's a very different skill to guitar, but both are fun. I have the drums plugged into my audio interface to get the best sound. My better half complains she can hear the click of the sticks on the pads, but it's not that loud really.

Have fun with your Tele. I had one made for me a few years ago and it's great. We have a #TeleTuesday theme if you want to do a post.

Kdenlive is pretty powerful and I would like to learn more about it as I think I need to improve my video skills. I have a project to convert some old cine films and I will need to edit those.
