I have to get back to immersing myself in music.

For a while, all I was, was music.

When I was in high school, I would lose sleep over writing music with my band mates. I was connected with drum corps all over the country just because of who I knew. If you would walk into my room after high school, you would still see sheet music laying around the room next to guitars and a computer. There was a time when I would walk into a club and I would already know who was the person in charge for the night.

I'm taking baby steps to get back to a full stride again, and I feel like some of the momentum is starting to hold. From lessons, to services, to new projects in the future, i'm planting seeds to keep myself busy in the future. But as of right now, i'm trying to find more monetary situations to be a part of.

I've been scouring Craig's List, and I just got on to a site call Hourville.com. I think just about anything you can charge for is gonna be on that site... But it's still in Beta stages, and I just threw up a thing on there for people that wanna get some DCI chops. You can check out the post here.

Keep your ears open for anything drumming for me! I wanna be a part of it.

Good day.

Today, I cruised with my buddy Mike to his buddy's place so I could tune up his drums and make a few bucks. I started getting Cheeched on the way there, originally cuz I forgot Mike's gotta wait till January. BIG OL' fuckin' set! Like a custom 12 piece from some now-closed drum shop, which he also bought from some crackhead on the Hollywood strip for $300. I couldn't believe the shit, lol! But we basically hung out playing with drums and rocking out to metal. And then I played for a little while, after I got it tuned and set up with 3 rack toms across the front. There's still a pile of toms in the corner though...

Finished result:


I got some free shit too:


After I picked up my guitar and some Jack in the Box breakfast, I cruised over to play some guitar with Andrew. I learned some shit he wrote, and he learned part of one my songs. Once he got some of it down I got on the drums and played with him, and it sounded pretty cool to hear a real guitar with non sequenced guitars. Maybe if i'm lucky we'll write some stuff together eventually.

I also looked around on Craiglist and ended up putting a post to network with other musicians. I'm probably hitting a show Tuesday to see some guy's progressive project. Only $5 bucks at the Rhythm Room.
