I'm Mario, a 30-something (35?) year old engineer and drummer living in Austin, Texas. I've enjoyed Twitch for a while so decided to give myself a challenge and start streaming my drum practices. So if you wanna come, hang out, watch some drummage, or just listen to some music while I jam, welcome.
I taught myself how to play by ear many many moons ago, so that is primarily what my practices consist of. I put on some music that I've been listening to lately (mostly various Metal bands), and play along, following the structures, sometimes very closely, but usually adding a fair amount of improvisation as I adapt the stuff to my own playing style. I've found it's a fun way to try and expand my own ability and style and learn as I go.
I don't really take requests per-say at the moment, but I'll compile a list of a some Bands and Albums I'm familiar with and I can work in any suggestions viewers may have. In the meantime, feel free to float ideas and I'll see what I can do.
Monday: ~3:00 PM Wednesday: ~3:00 PM Friday: ~5:00 PM
Monday/Wednesday will be earlier in the day. Will attempt to start between 2:30-4:00 PM.
Friday will normally be later in the day, starting between 5:00-7:00 PM.
Times/days will often vary, I have to move things around if my back is having a bad day.
