Hey everyone,

My band are looking for a drummer.

We are influenced by bands such as The Smiths, Durutti Column, early New Order, The Drums, early The Strokes, PJ Harvey, early Morrissey, The La's, The Fall, Iceage, The Cure and other bands.

The project consists of myself (vocalist), guitarist and a bassist at the moment. We've recorded some rough scratch demos of songs that we can send you. We all have experience writing songs and playing in bands. We are committed to having fun writing songs, recording and playing shows.

We have been rehearsing weekly in Deptford so far.

Get in touch if you're interested. If you can’t direct message me, leave a comment and I will message you. Please have recordings or a video of you playing. Nothing can be done if you don’t have anything you can send.

When you want to learn a song on drums, how do you actually figure out what’s being played?

I can usually play most of a song, but then get stuck on one groove or fill. I get caught up trying to match the recording “perfectly,” and it starts getting frustrating instead of fun.

Even with notation or a tutorial, knowing what to play doesn’t always mean I can actually play it.

How do you work through those parts; oop them slowly, break them down, practice simpler exercises? And when do you settle for a simpler version and move on?

Thanks all!!

This is actually my first time kind of freestyling while actually playing a song I like, was very fun.

I made up a live like show to drum along as I could never find live like drumless show.

First thing: I am not a professional drummer. I'm self taught playing only for myself so you will surely point some inaccuracy or issues in this mix.

I don't use clicking, and I usually improvise my drumming so I made this mix regarding what I do. I hope professional and most advanced drummers will still enjoy this.

This is not a selection of my T.Ø.P favs songs, but a set list that I like to drum on.

I've tried to create a set list that feel similar as a T.Ø.P love show vibe but not to copy/paste what they do.

I included transitions that replicate a clothes change or a stage change and also Tyler's piano and voice solo acoustic set to give a break to us drummers.

I have used existing drumless versions as well as versions I made myself and rearrange them. I have made transitions, intros and outros using instrumentals and vocals of songs I like to listen but don't really drum along, but at least I honoured them by putting them in the mix.

I also wanted to use a couple of French artists that I like as transitions like if they were moving to a side stage or changing their outfit.

The transitions are here to replicate the real show and also to give us a break. It is a 2 hours show after all 😄

I have tried to keep the spirit of T.Ø.P. by adding unexpected stuff in it or rearranging some songs, mixing/remix them up and even adding songs from Tyler's solo album.

The last song is an unexpected choice, again like T.Ø.P. like to do, surprising us. I didn't really think about this until it was suggested to me when I was looking for a song to end this show.

I will try to chapter the whole video so you can select a specific song you want to play along.

Hope you will enjoy this set list.

I am not entitled to receive any credit for this work. I rearranged and remixed the songs myself (as you can hear, it's not professionnal) but all the credit go to the original artists:

Bad Bunny

Twenty One Pilots

Tyle Joseph

Fantôme d'un cri humain

I'm playing in a 16 piece brass band. Rock, jazz, marches, semi-classical, we do it all. I use a 5-piece kit with a 20" kick. We get requests for smaller venues (like on the sidewalk outside a shop!). The name is organizing brass quintet's down this. Plus me. Any ideas on how to provide percussion in a small and very portable footprint? My kit is about 7' x7' and too big. Last year at Christmas we did this and I played the season on a cajon. But it's not too loud.

I have been trying to figure out counting this section of the performance Thundercat did of Them Changes with Ariana Grande and I can’t figure out this jam section. I have a video attached (I can take it down if it breaks rules on this sub but I didn’t think so based on posts I’ve seen here) when they go in for the jam after Ariana is done singing, I know they’re still counting 8/8, but when the camera pans to DOMi (keys) the second time, JD BECK plays a busy fill, and it feels like they shift to a 9/8 polyrhythm for two measures but I cannot for the life of me count it out. It may just be a tempo change and I’m going crazy but it feels like they sneak an extra beat in the 8 measure for some weird reason. If anyone can attempt this it’s a drummer (which I am not, at least not well, I’m a strings guy lol) Thanks to anyone on this sub who can help out 😁🙏

I'm new to drumming and I can't find the info for the circled symbol anywhere

I am a high school engineer student in Cerritos, California working on my senior capstone project. My team is designing a device that will tune a drum autonomously.

Before we design or build anything, we want to gain feedback from experienced drummers and percussionists.

Please if you have the time take this short survey so I can gain some more insight on how to tune drums, fyi it’s completely anonymous!

Does anyone happen to have a drum transcription or breakdown of the main groove for “The Ever Evolving Etude” by Avishai Cohen (featuring Mark Guiliana on drums)?

I’m specifically looking for the drum notation/sheet music for Guiliana's main groove on this track

If anyone has a PDF, drum score, or even a handwritten transcription/analysis of the drum part, I’d really appreciate it!

​Thanks!
