Well it’s #CymbalSaturday although I think not enough instances are federated with #drumstodon for many people to see our hashtags. Anyway I found a long-sought hard-to-find treasure, a Sabian Jack DeJohnette signature Encore 22” mini bell ride. How’s that for a mouthful? Basically its a thin light ride with a heavy patina coating, and tons of dense hand hammering, including on the shallow small bell. It sounds essentially halfway between a traditional and a flat ride. I love it! #drummer #drums

Drumstodon news: our server just reached over 30 millions of finished tasks, which is ... nice to see, I guess...
The active users count went down from about ~500 back in February to the current number of 160. A lot of people signed up in January and February, but never really came back to use their accounts. Anyway, maybe someone will return.

Thanks to anyone who is still :lucias_drumsticks: sticking :drumsticks: around here! This instance is here to stay.

It was an honor to play #dhol at a Lohri tonight. A privilege to play for this #punjabi family gathering.

I've spun up a quick website and future blog at https://info.drumstodon.net

The intention is to publish some information regarding the instance there and mainly as a backup space for you to check out in case of service outage here on drumstodon.net

You can also check out status.drumstodon.net to get the current status overview about the service.

#Drumstodon #DrumstodonBackstage

Just as heads-up - I have updated the local "Terms of use" text and added two new server rules. Please check it out to prevent any misunderstandings in the future...

I think this could be quite a fun to try out in the #PracticeRoom after I finish it. #PracticeBot will soon be able to generate some random (or randomise predefined) #rudiments for us to play... 🎵 🤖

I've just left my practice room. According to our #PracticeBot @pb ... I've already logged 9 hours of #practice time in total of 7 sessions. The #rudiments and #HandTechnique can surely feel that! :drumsticks: 👍

Had the honor of playing a baraat with these killer Marathi dholis. We connected through shared rhythms - I’m from the US playing a Punjabi dhol and we immediately found common ground. So grateful to so many who’ve opened this door into India for me.

So many new and interesting people here and not even single #DrumkitMonday post so far? :drumset: #drums #Drumstodon

It isn't even 24 hours since my #Drumstodon instance got listed on #joinmastodon and I've already seen Sidekiq to go over 1000 tasks per second in a peak ... :) this was usually around 20 - 150 ... Nice times ahead, I guess! #mastoadmin

@DrumHead Fantastic! Hello to all you drummers 🥁 You'd love our drummer Jack, youngest member of our band at only 17 but he is fabulous and has the most wonderful broad Barnsley accent (known here as "Baaaansley"). We'll try and include some drumming content 👍 #Drumstodon #DrumkitMonday

It's #DrumkitMonday, so why not share your drumkit today... 🥁

This is the kit I played last saturday with my band Five Dollar Shake in the Mezz, Breda concerthall, supporting Southern Avenue.

It is a 70's #Slingerland in gold sparkle wrap. Sizes 24*14 / 12*8 / 15*12

+ 14*5 Ludwig Black Beauty snare.

Let the good times roll!

@mohab Welcome to #Drumstodon! Thanks for joining us. Here is your free pair of #DrumSticks :drumsticks: ... 😀

More of the wedding and drum scene from Maharashtra. Nashik dhol players at a mandav.

I'm back home from my travels! This was my #drumming companion for the last two weeks. Not much practice done, but better then nothing. Today I will finally be able to get back behind my #drumkit :drumset:. #drums #Drumstodon

Dear citizens of #Drumstodon, I've procured creation of a thumbnail for our instance. And today I received it from the illustrator from Ukraine.

Here it is - what do you think? Can we use it to represent us? (I personally love it. It surely has nice #drums and looks quite happy and skilled.)
