I'm only on one other forum, but it's gotten very slow in the last year or so.
This one is the most balanced out of all I've seen, and people are nice, so I post here.
I'm just here to talk drums and gear, and share some experiences.
I don't post playing vids, or stuff like that.
I'm not in it for "promotion" either, just fun.
Sometimes I'll reach out to people via PM that are in a reasonable distance if I'm playing a cool gig & they might want to come out on a guest list.
It's nice to meet up, and hang with fellow forum members.
You mean there are other drum forums?
I get everything I could ever need or want here. The regulars here are in my thoughts throughout the day, for real, even though I've never actually met any of you. So many great humans here on DW. Like if I don't hear from Anthony for a few days on the forums for instance, I imagine he's busy teaching or traveling to gig. I wonder about all you guys. The regulars are the real attraction for me, guys like Steve B, Anon, Bo, Philippe, Brent, Andy, Mary, Abe, Vince, Bon, the Ians...and so many others....and the new members who become regulars, like Mikey and others. It's all about the people here.
Mostly stuff like, "What would Polly think if I sat in on one of her lounge gigs and played like Steve Moore"?
"We're going to do our Blues set next. Get your act together, what if Larry was watching"?
