A.K.A. The drummer's bane
Out of every instrument that I have played, drums are definitely the most fun. However, they're definitely the most annoying instrument to cart around. I am lucky enough to have somewhere to play them, but they have to be stored away for the rest of the time. This is the process I have to go through before every band practice (and in reverse after the practice!).
Fortunately for you, I've sped the video up by about 16 times!
... apart from the end where I play, that's normal speed...
... or maybe double ;)

In reality, I moan about having to set it up, but I'm such a control freak that I don't actually want anyone else to do it for me!
I have a couple of good friends who are also drummers, and I don't mind them helping (when they're around). But setting up a drum kit is like adjusting your car seat before you drive - only you know where it all should be so that you can reach everything right.

In the words of Charlie Steadman "Vimeo is an exhibition, not a competition"!
[how's that for chickening out haha ;) ]
i'm not gonna lie.
I'm impressed at this.
and you.
Thanks for your kind words - I'm impressed with you too :)
Are you referring to the music or my drums?
The music was taken from a really old program I used to use to make computer games with, called 'klik and play'. They have a library of different midi files, and I found this in amongst them. It seemed to fit quite well, but still has that funny old computer game feel to it.
I guess I don't have any chimes because I'm not going for a 70's sound haha. My kit here sounds different to normal because it's sped up - usually it sounds a bit meatier (deeper and stronger) which works well for the kind of music our band plays.
