Hello!
My name is Mike, some of you might know me as the-dude-who-can't-decide-what-kit-to-get-so-he-makes-a-bunch-of-threads-about-everything-and-nothing-and-it-drives-me-crazy.
I'm 22 years old, I come from Sweden. I've been playing the drums kinda on-and-off for 8-ish years.
My health hasn't always allowed me to play the drums to the extent that I want to.
I have a disease called Loeys-Dietz Syndrome, it's a genetic disorder resulting in my skeleton being, well not really fragile like brittle bone disease but it kind of break here and there randomly sometimes. I have done 4 athrodesis surgeries to my spine, due to discs breaking, sliding and all that kind of crap. I have also gone through various other surgeries like getting a mechanical aortic valve, the latest surgery whas a neck-surgery done in november 2013.
Despite all of this, I love to play the drums, even if my back hurts from drumthrones since they aren't really ergonomical or supportive.
My biggest achievement in drumming must have been about 3-4 years ago when I was still in school and we put up a musical, a modern take on Romeo & Juliet with only Beatles-music and I was the only drummer in the orchestra, doing 10-15-ish songs 2-3 times a day, every 2 days for 2 weeks with my health condition. That's probably when I was the most proud of myself about something about drumming, the fact that I could be stubborn enough to learn all the songs and muster through all those live shows, putting the pain aside.
I have a weak-spot for Yamaha drums, both acoustic and electronic and I'd love to buy like a DTX 532K or something to have here at home to play on. But it's hard to get a job these days, especially one that I can do with and that I'm qualified for so even a 532K is considered rather expensive for me so at the moment I'm torturing myself with an old Alesis DM5 my mother bought for the years ago so I'd have something to practice on.
Anyways, I can't really think of anything else about myself that's any interesting, if you have any questions feel free to ask, nothing is ''too personal'' or anything like that.
So that's me, the swedish guy who blabbers away in all the wall-of-text-threads he creates!
Take care!
