I only post here. I've been participating in music discussion forums pretty much since Al Gore invented the internet. I joined a now-defunct forum called Jazz Central Station in the mid-90s. I still occasionally participate in a couple of other music-related forums but it's pretty rare. As for drumming, this is the only place I talk shop with drummers.
My biggest challenge here is tempering the content of what I say and the words I choose. The other forums I've been active on are less family-oriented and it's okay to cuss and act like a jackhole. I enjoy speaking frankly and the occasional hostility that goes along with it. That's more my comfort zone and it takes a lot for me to hold that back on this site sometimes. But there's no place close for drumming-related discussion and the contributions from world-class pro drummers is unmatched.
This is the place.
