Essentially, with enough practice, I could play Flea's basslines. Slap bass is still WIP.





I'm a musician as well, and after listening to enough pony songs I'm starting to feel the "create music" bug but the problem for starting is three fold: 1.) My standards are unrealistically high. See, I'm also a 13 year audio engineer for my church, my dad was a bassist for 30+ years, had a band and I went to his gigs and recording sessions since I was born. I play drums for my church and will transition to playing the bass for them soon and the musicians there are/were professionals. I have a professional mindset without being a professional. I want to sound like a high quality studio recording without the tools to back up my talk. 2.) I'm still learning music theory, so I can't call myself a composer. (I don't know piano, but want to learn along with guitar.) 3 .) I don't have the means of creating the way I want to create music. The aforementioned lack of piano and guitar knowledge is one and having actual drums (with mic system)is another. I've messed with drum VSTs and while I give props to musicians that can use VSTs to make great beats, I (obviously) have a strong bias to playing actual drums and would be far easier for me.













TLDR: I've logged over 28K hours on drums and logged over 1200 hours on bass.





Haven't made music because: 1.) high standards 2.) lack of theory, guitar and piano knowledge (will rectify) 3.) no acoustic drums

Well, I've been drumming for 15-16 years. And while I started playing bass last May, I've been practicing like it was my second job at one point practicing 40 hours a week for a good 5 months (May-September). My practice time has been cut dramatically since then for school but I still take time to practice.
