I have not done a #DrumDay video for a few weeks. With travel and COVID there has not been so much time for drumming, but I will get back into it.
Billie Jean by Michael Jackson is often given as a prime example of the standard rock beat. I found this backing track without drums or vocal to play along with.
Watching it back I see I am still pulling back my left hand between hits. I need to keep it over the drum to get better timing. I may have slipped off the beat a bit, but it is hard when you normally rely on the drummer to keep you in time. I was listening to the bass instead. I need to route my headphone cable better as it was getting in the way, but I need those to hear everything clearly. I did pull my kit around to be face on to the camera this time. It is all on a bit of carpet, so I can just pull that to move it. I need the carpet as the bass drum has spikes and I do not want those directly on my wooden floor. It also reduces the external noise a little. You can get proper drumming mats, but I just use an old rug that is folded over. The flowery mat you can see is the protect the floor from the wheels of my office chair. I do have a basic drum 'throne', but tend not to use it.
Rock on!

Well done!
I'm practising looping at the moment and having timing issues too!
It takes perseverance for sure..
Carpets?
I don't know much about drumming, only that I loved Phil Collins solo at the time.. 😁
But when a drummer brought a mat before, I was wondering what that was all about..
Well, now I know! Thanks! 😀
I think the mats are partly to stop things sliding around and partly to protect the floor. I could bring my kit to a session some time.
!BEER
Yeah, go for it!

How fun! Yeah, that headphone cable needs to move :) I think it was causing you a lot of grief! This has me wanting to pick the sticks back up. I was never that great, but I think with practice I could be halfway decent again. Who knows.
This is nice and lovely with the efforts you put in practicing and thanks for sharing.
