My drumming days

[johnnywaffles123]

So i was talking about this in game and I shared a link to a video of a show my old band played live, and someone told me to post it on the forums. So here we go.

This first one is from 2ish years ago, and I butchered the performance. It's pretty bad but oh well.

The next one is an actual professional recording (Oh wow), but it has suggestive themes so please be at least 13 to click on this one <3

And finally, this is from a whole 4ish years ago D: This is like the physical embodiment of horrible music playing but this is for fun so hey! Watch me back in my 7th-8th grade drumming days xD

Also, I know the singer is bad. And I also know that I'm bad. And I also know this is mostly trash xD But yeah, enjoy.

Also, I'm not in the band anymore, for reasons :O

Anyway, hi.

That's awesome Johnny. I love to get to know the other players in game, it makes it more personal and makes me feel like I'm part of the family (I'm a goober I know [13] lol)

I play drums as well but don't have any videos and I don't play as cool as johnny with sticks and a fancy schmancy set (I always wanted one but my parents vetoed that idea because they disliked the idea of loud awesome sounds so they made me learn flute instead [38] ). But of course I had to rebel and used to play african djembe & bougarabou as well as middle eastern doumbek & tabla. I used to play for a bellydance group and got to learn from Babatunde Olatunji before he passed away https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babatunde_Olatunji but due to health reasons haven't been able to play for the past few years so while I can't share any snazzy videos of myself I will share another...

So without further ado.. here's Mr Bean playing drums.

Oooh, That's super cool that you got to not only play with, but learn from Babatunde.
Hand based drums are cooler sounding than real sets, I love them.

My brothers father plays in a local Pittsburgh band that tours around other countries and stuff. They play all the local events as well. Pretty fun group that's all snare/tom/hand drum based. Like 30ish people that synergize well together.
It's called "Timbeleza" if anyone would like to check them out :^
Here's a video of them that has a few of their members: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgActPv3fDs
