i've been playing buckets and trash for more than a year and a half now and have reached levels of drum skill I have long desired but never realized I could truly possess. sometimes i would draw crowds, or play something new and inventive, but was often self conscious and inhibited in drumming because of it. I went to burning man because WMW is a hero. while I was there i played the buckets on four hits of LSD in front of a lot of people at the 3 o clock commons. I found the most receptive audience I've ever encountered. I was not nervous or self-conscious, just feeling it. in all other regards I had an amazing time at the burn- it was the best party, best art show, best camping trip; an amazing emotional release on deeper than fun levels. I didn't play the buckets or smoke any pot or consume anything really after the man burned and I returned home. I applied for some jobs and made love to my beautiful girlfriend for a few days, and went out on Thursday to play for the first time since tripping. i warmed up and then smoked the first bowl i'd smoked in nearly a week. i played the tightest 32nd note quantized hyper drumnbass / hardcore gangster rap madness I'd ever played. i was hypnotized by my own polyrhythms. i played better than i had in my life. 5 people approached me after I finished a jam and thanked me profusely for the coolest thing they'd ever heard. i had crossed some kind of threshold and found a sound that i could have played for an audience of ten thousand people and entranced them all. as i started to get tired it was a hard comedown off a crazy dopamine high. i wanted to play like that more and get more of that attention and transcend into that magic bucket place MORE but like any cycle or high or oscillation or peak there was a trough. I had low hopes for tonight, figuring I'd been lucky at best. I went out tonight and played even better than I did last night, rocked it harder, and stopped more fucks hard in their socks. I am finding a sound that no on |
