YouTube basic info:
I'm a late-50s amateur drummer in Aotearoa New Zealand. Hey, I know my drumming isn't up to the very high standard of most YouTube drum content. These DrumFuckery clips are just my diary of ideas, progress, and new (old) gear I acquire. I hope folk get this and don't think I'm trying to put myself up there with the many fantastic players we all enjoy viewing online and drawing inspiration from.
After decades of cruising I'm once again trying to improve my drumming, and to recapture my love of cymbals and drums from my youth in the mid 70s-mid 80s. With encouragement and emotional support from a couple of very good and like-minded friends in another NZ city, I've been accumulating drum gear madly since Covid-19 hit (funded from my Mental Health Budget : - ) I'm self-employed, and the pressure of running a small business these days requires a bolt-hole of some kind.
One day I may get brave enough to put up a drum cover.
Thank you for watching.
Cheers, James
[There are various clips of my punk/post-punk band Condenser - CondenserNZ on Facebook - playing live and in the practice room. If you keep scrolling down there are various clips from my paranormal interest group Strange Occurrences.]
