[@chruh1903]

love how you've got the snare to sound more like an electronic snare, great stuff as always :)

[@karlfagerstrom]

Props for noticing! Mostly just tuned it fairly high and then killed the ring as best as possible (since I'm only using one mic on the whole kit - and it's pointed at the snare - I also scoop out a fair amount of the midrange and it tends to make the snare more electronic-ish)

Three years later and this is still a huge inspiration to me, I started playing percussion last year, and I was pretty good at it. Then I learned the drum set and I was really good at that too. The level of practice you have is amazing! I’d love to drum like you!

[@karlfagerstrom]

Glad to hear it. Drum set is *so* good for your body and soul, so I hope you keep at it! Regardless of how "good" you get; which is subjective, anyway - if you make some sonic art that *someone* connects with, and you feel good afterward physically, that's just an endless positive feedback loop.

​@@karlfagerstrom Failed to mention how impressive your drumming is, but at this point there's hundreds of people who've already pointed it out. I myself am a beginner drummer and this just feels completely unreachable, but I hope to one day be as good of a drummer as you are, as cheesy as it sounds. If you don't mind me asking, how long have you been playing drums?

[@karlfagerstrom]

I don't mind, but I don't like to needlessly discourage people. I've said this in a bunch of comments before, but in a more longwinded way, so I'll summarize as to not write an essay: I started as a little kid, but some of my favorite drummers started a lot later (like one of my obvious faves, Zach Hill). And I started piano as an even *tinier* kid, but I'm meh at that at best, because I didn't keep at it whatsoever. So I wouldn't read too much into *when* someone starts as much as how hard they go at it.
