The Guys On The Keys

-


LOL.  At one point in our lives as drummers, i am sure we've all come across this kind of keyboardist. The moment the singer comes up with the first song, they start looking for the right key, playing from f to c# to f# to d# to k# even to z# until they find the key that suit the singer and when the singer switch to a song they don't know, they start all over again looking for the right keys.

What are pros and cons of playing with this special set of keyboardist.

CONS
*They kinda kill the vibe: Lol bro i need you, so please speed up with the search.

*It weakens the guys on the drums: Looking for the right keys on every song, come on bro, i know you a beginner but come on.

*Its not a one man job: Lol bro we are in this together, looking for the keys while i keep the flow going all alone wasn't the plan man. Be fast about the search. Lol.

PROS
*Patience: Waiting for the guys to find the keys, waiting for the singer to start the songs after talking for 30 minutes, waiting for the engineers to fix the bad speakers etc. We all need patience.

*Victory: You know the smile on your face the moment you get what you'd always wanted after the struggle and hustle, yeah, that's how drummers feel when they guys on the keys finally get the keys

*Two heads better than one: Lol. We need each other. I'm sure you know that.

Today I am going to share with you my top 10 crazy drum stick ideas. And as we all know drum sticks are sticks specially made for drumming and without it there is no beat, no sound, no music, nothing. We are literally screwed without the drum sticks.

This ideas might be good or bad but Hey! Who cares? This is just me trying to bring out the potentials hidden inside the drum stick. Lol.

Lol 2) A drum stick screw: Just like the screw driver I should be able to use a specially made drum st...

Data Analyst On Weekdays. Drummer On Weekends

They say you’ve got to have multiple sources of income if you want to make it big or you want to survive in this our dear country Nigeria, coz one hustle equal to no hustle at all. They say if you’re not hustling, grinding and suffering then you are not ready for success. For me the goal has always been to play the drums and make money from playing alone. I have always believed in this quote “make your passion your profession and work will become play”. Beautiful quote by the way. Coz who says you can’t become a millionaire from playing the drums alone, who? I have seen others do it, so it is not impossible. But. I have come to realize that not everyone will have it that smooth. Not every drummer is gonna make so much money from playing the drums alone, in fact some won’t even make any at all. As sad as it sounds, that is the reality that we live in. So, what do we do? Or what did I do, coz I happen to be amongst the set of drummers that are making little to nothing from play...
