My tinnitus is pretty bad some days. I think lack of hearing might be better sometimes.
Would be funny if it weren't so sadly true.

Damn..sounds like we need to go talk to Dr. Phil together.A LOT! I regret not having a work ethic when I was younger, I regret stopping playing for 10 years, I regret wasting my time at uni when I had a 3 years to do nothing but drumming yet I found time to do everything but and I regret all the money I've spent on gear far surplus to the usefulness of my skill level.
I saw a thread in the Off Topic lounge about photographing drummers and it got me thinking: One of my biggest regrets is not documenting my decades long drumming efforts.
So many good shows & moments are lost because I failed to record or photograph/film the event.
With technology as easy and advanced as it is now, I have massive plans to fix this issue.
Anyone here have a drumming regret?
I'm in the photography ruins the moment camp. If I'm going to take photos, I go out with that express purpose. I'm here to take photos. Any other time I leave my camera at home and snap the occasional iPhone pic. For me photography is an obsessive activity.Photography is nice, but it takes alot of time to get nice photographs. Kind of spoils the moment. I find its a balance here. I used to photograph things much more, but recently I'd rather have the moment uninterrupted. Maybe, I'll feel differently later, and wish I had the photos. It also takes alot of time to go through and curate photos though. Also, drum photography is difficult often low light, eg expensive.
Hey as long as we aren't playing 5 16th notes I'm usually happy. Even then I can adjust to anything!I regret not putting a triplet in this one spot at the last gig I did.
I played 4 - 16th notes.
It haunts me every night.Hey as long as we aren't playing 5 16th notes I'm usually happy. Even then I can adjust to anything!

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!
Hmm.....let me sit with this this afternoon. It's inspirational yet I need time to ponder this wisdom.I have no drumming regrets to speak of. I see regret as an entirely useless emotion. While guilt has value to the extent that it can alert us to moral imperfections and persuade us to reform our improprieties, regret is nothing more than an excuse to dwell upon the past without cultivating the present. In that sense, regret fosters further regret, as we often end up regretting all the attention we've devoted to regret itself.
Regret nothing; look forward to everything. That's the mantra with which I strive to govern my conduct.
