My career aspirations

Hello, its Vince again, and I would like to take some time here to write about the purpose of my blog.
I hope to use this blog to showcase some of my skills in the near future in the art of music and maybe some art. I also hope that this site can help me find connections with people who share my interests in what i do and love, which is mostly music. I play the drums and have been playing them for about 6 years and am very passionate about it. I am currently learning a lot about music technology, mostly recording, and am looking into getting a new set of drums so I can record with better clarity. My dream someday is to have my own recording studio, but in the meantime I want to learn all I can about the industry, technology, and business of that field. Getting on the drum subject again, I really want to do covers of popular songs like this dude here,



When I saw this video i was astounded. I have seen lots of good drum covers, but this guy, Cobus Potgieter, was amazing to listen to and to watch. This was just one of his many videos, but the all contain the same amount of awesomeness and passion. Thats what I want to do!

Now about that drum set I want to get, I was thinking about going electronic on this one. I already have an acoustic set that I love dearly even though it's nothing special. My Sonar Force 1003 is the set I have been using for 6 years. Not being made of money, I have made very small attachment upgrades like a few Sabian cymbals and a double bass pedal, but thats about it. So I'm thinking that it is time for an upgrade.

   I still want to keep my old set but space is limited where I live so i might sell it after all. Well, thats all for this update! I will hopefully post more blog updates in the future so keep an eye out! Thanks for reading!
