Sounds like fun! Are you on discord? That's probably the easiest for me, I'm luxuryenby on there. If not, I guess send me your email! I'll be out all day tomorrow but I'll have plenty of time today & the days after tomorrow to kick around ideas

Thank you!! Yeah I'm definitely taking the hard road with this modest, old-school studio setup, not to mention additional self-challenges like using a tuning fork instead of an electric tuner in pursuit of music creativity that is maximally kinesthetic & low tech. In my younger days, I used FL Studio, various sample packs & VSTs, & was creative via the sequencer, but I have effectively rewired my brain towards making music in real time with physical instruments & all, & the DAWless constraints make structural decisions & such much weightier, as the hassle of editing is much higher than it would otherwise be & I don't really have the liberty to patch up weaknesses with effects & such. But as I spend more time working in this way, I get better at getting the most juice out of the studio, & also build up better instincts about what types of sounds & feats of instrumentalism I can pull off, which makes it more feasible to plunge forward into an elaborate composition knowing I'll make it through in one piece. & the constraints are good not only for getting me in the right headspace for music, but also I think good for my art, like using resistance bands to build muscle or something lol. & yes I would highly recommend the KickBoxx!!!!

Oh yeah the Kickboxx! I love this thing. When I was shopping around for a drumkit I was concerned about excessive space footprint, excessive cost, & excessive loudness, & the kickboxx takes care of all three problems while still sounding great as a studio kit. The fact that I have one kick, one snare, one tom, & one cymbal also meshes well with the less produced more garagey sound I do. Also the whole thing (minus the hi hat) disassembles easily & the snare, tom, & kick pedal can be stored inside the suitcase-style kick drum body so that I can carry it upstairs to play along with my big sound system when I want to! Zero complaints with this thing, it suits my needs perfectly.

I think i need a kickboxx! That sounds really cool and it would be ideal for my tiny studio space.

Hey Becky! Hope you're having a fun FAWM so far!!

Thanks, I hope your FAWM is a great success!

Thank you & same to you!
