Interesting Injury Related Music Change
So about a month ago, I hurt my pinky and while it’s mostly recovered, I still can’t play bass. This has had some interesting results because, now, I can really only practice the drums. While I’m by no means opposed to this, being a drummer in college and all; I’m definitely more of a bassist now. I tend to obsess about bass lines and grooves, and bands I like to listen to often have sweet sweet bass lines.
Well, right now, I’m currently on a crazy drummer kick. And by crazy drummer, I mean, The Roots. While I’ve been cognizant and appreciative of their music in the past, I haven’t found myself obsessing over it like I am right now. For some reason, I’ve gone just nuts over their stuff, both them, and behind Jay-Z on his unplugged album.
I wonder how permanent of a change this will be. I miss playing bass TERRIBLY, but I’ve definitely gotten back into playing drums. It’ll be interesting to see what happens when my finger heals. Will I be obsessing about both equally, or will I let drums slide a bit as I have the past couple months. Oh well, at least musically, it’s opening some new horizons.
