For me its headphones unless I like what is playing in the shop (we have speakers in FAI connected to the shop speakers with our own volume control. I like hard rock/metal (Disturbed, Korn, Volbeat, Slipknot, ect...)
bfire85 I must look crazy at work. I can't stop listening to it, headbanging and all!
I've been looking for a certain type of song but I couldn't really describe what it was that I wanted. THIS IS IT!!! Some diehard Architects fans won't like it and I get it... But I love it!
This may be the song that gets me back to playing drums again.
A-machine-insp Dude! Get back into playing the drums! Don't let your music passions die. I am so happy I stuck to playing music. It is definitely a stress reliever and helps me clear my mind, especially when it's songs that mean something to me.
bfire85 I've played drum, guitar, and bass. I still have 2 guitars and a bass but I let my drums go years ago. I've been getting a really bad itch to get back into drums. There is an electronic kit I am interested in. I may go by the music store tonight to look at and try them... possibly to buy as well. God knows I could use the stress relief now especially since my racing season is over.
Matthew D. Hoedeman Yes, that does too.
Schlag Architects aren't new. They have just changed their sound...at least with this song. We'll see when they drop more music.
A-machine-insp I have 2 basses, 1 guitar, and a drum set. My son is learning to play and I can play basic rock/alternative beats. I was thinking of selling my acoustic kit and getting an electric kit. It would help keep the house quieter because my son practices a couple of times a day. lol.
bfire85 I'm sure it would help. I have a friend that is staying at my house now (long story) so being quiet is actually a thing for me now. I've played electric kits years ago and the only one that came close to reacting like an actual drum head was the expensive Roland kit. Alesis now makes a nice looking kit that is right in my price range and is 11 pieces, that's the one I'm going to look at tonight. I may have to get a recording setup going cause I have ideas but no way to record them.
A-machine-insp I think I was looking at the same kit. If you test it out, let me know. For recording, I bought a simple 2 input USB-C interface, iRig Duo I/O. It works pretty good. I think it was like $200 or $250 and comes with a bunch of software. I use Acoustica Mixcraft as my DAW.
bfire85 I didn't get a chance to go last night so I'm going to try to make it up there tonight. I'll let you know what I think. Hopefully they have one setup to demo.
I've been inspired lately by some of the new music I've heard and my current situation with the loss of my wife. Getting back into music is no longer a want for me, it is needed.
BTW, Check out the new Hollywood Undead song Heart Of A Champion. It has Papa Roach and Ice Nine Kills in it. Awesome song. Please pass on any other new song recommendations. I am listening to Architects and Imminence a lot these days so you have a preference reference.
