how long been playing: Officially about a month. I tried in 6th grade band...Fail.

make of drumkit: Ddrum beginner set
make of cymbal: stock cymbals till I gather some cash for some real ones ha
where do you practice: My spare room
are you in a band/s: Not technically though there are people waiting for me to learn haha

what style of music: I'd eventually like to play some simple '77 punk style drums as well as some crazy metal and possibly some sludged out doom stuff.

how did you start drumming: I've wanted to drum since I was a little kid. I joined the school band in sixth grade but I was super shy and the band teacher insisted on doing boys and against girls all the time and as the only girl drummer that made me feel to on the spot...so I dropped it. I'd been waiting till I had space for a drumset all this time since and finally got it, got my set a month ago, 11 or so years later, and now here I am...

My new blog about groove

I'm trying to start a blog and to continue to put up blog posts for students to check out, or to entice new students to sign up.

I made (what I feel is a pretty good first post about groove), although I could stew over it for days picking up bits and pieces (like I normally would), I feel the time spent making it better is just getting exponentially large for the reward.

Please check it out and let me know what you think from a drummers perspective, and educators, a business persons, and so on cheers.

Re: My new blog about groove

I like this, too. In which country are you? I would have said "what country are you in", but a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with.
 
Re: My new blog about groove

The site looks good, but the blog section at the bottom was displaying oddly. It left some artifacts when I scrolled, and I couldn't see any of the sidebar. I attached a screenshot of what it looked like to me.

Re: My new blog about groove

Yep I noticed that too at times. I couldn't replicate it this morning though. Now that I have a blog, and new content I'll be redesigning my website.

If any one wants, subscribe to my blog, and you will see any new content... For most people here I'm sure its similar stuff to that which you already know. I'll be putting a mix between beginner topics and advanced stuff (more specifcally based around what I know; blues, roots drumming).

Any comments on the content of the blog itself would be great, and any advice from people with suggestions on how to do this better is appreciated.
 
Re: My new blog about groove

Haha, "a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with." I'm sure you realize this and were making a joke, but "with" is a preposition :D

I guess it loses something if you have to explaine the jokes.
 
My introduction

Hi, I am Tony. I have been playing for about 5 - 6 years now, and I am 14. I don't think I'm that good but my friends think otherwise haha. Anyway, I will start recording some material here soon [once I get a camera, that is] and post it and you can give me some feedback! Glad to be here.
