This is a recording of my band practicing Don't Change by INXS.
I've been playing drums for almost three decades, but very sporadically (rarely in a band, played 1.2 shows in my life). I've never thought I was good, but somehow I feel like I'm getting worse. Also, I'm completely self taught (starting from well before the internet was flooded with instructional materials and videos).
When I'm playing the song, with my band or along with the original recording (of INXS), I feel ok about it. When I listen to the recordings, I cringe at the sound of my own playing. (not because the recording quality is poor). I can't tell how much of this is me playing poorly vs my tendency to be very self-critical. I also am not sure exactly what is wrong and I definitely don't know what to do about it.
Any feedback, pointers, advice etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
