The official product shot of a Roland TD-17KV electronic drum kit. There's four drums, three cymbals, and a kick drum, all attached to a stand.

BOOM. Trigger pulled on the TD-17KV! 🥁🎉 I am EXTREMELY excited about this, I loved playing the drums in Guitar Hero World Tour but they were frustratingly poorly-made, and would frequently not register hits which would break my streaks. (And fun fact, with the right adapter these Roland drums can actually be hooked up to Guitar Hero which I am TOTALLY doing).

A photo of a smallish room, with stuff against all of the walls, and a spot at the back right that's been cleared out that's where the drum kit is going to go.

I spent this afternoon cleaning and tidying and rearranging the back room because I'm going to buy myself an electronic drum kit and learn to play drums! And we have absolutely nowhere else to put it, haha. I was originally looking at the Roland TD-07KV, but I'm leaning towards splurging for the TD-17KV instead...

A photo of the box of Apogee's "Jam" guitar input, an unassuming silver rectangle with a dial on the front as well as a button and some lights.

Woohoo, my new guitar input arrived! I took it for a quick spin and the sound quality is noticeably improved over the old one, everything sounds crisper and clearer (old was 16-bit/44.1KHz, new one is 24-bit/96KHz).

This was paid for by selling some of that funny money that Keybase gave everyone a few years back, turns out it's actually worth something now!

Okay this seriously rules: my guitaring is going well and at the moment I'm practicing some power chords, and have been just using the metronome in BIAS FX Mobile to keep time. I remembered out of the blue that GarageBand has a "virtual drummer" thing where it'll automatically play a whole drum kit for you with all sorts of different styles and presets. BIAS FX can run in the background while doing this, so I gave it a go and it's SO MUCH FUN! Way better than playing along to a metronome. 🤘🏻

(Yes there's a handful of cocked-up chords in there where my fingers didn't quite get to the right place).

A photo of two black guitar picks sitting side by side. The one on the right has a perfectly-shaped point on it whereas the one on the left doesn't really have much of a point left at all.

I'm suddenly realising why guitar picks come in bulk packs. I was wondering why my picking wasn't sounding quite right, then noticed how much had been worn off the point of the one I've been using since I got the guitar a few months ago!

A selfie of me, a white man with a short red beard and short hair, standing with a black electric guitar and big headphones on.

You'll have to speak up, I'm playing a guitar.

A photo of a shiny black electric guitar sitting on a guitar stand.

It's here, and it looks amazing! Noticeably lighter than the old one, and much easier to press down on the strings too.

I've decided I'm going to learn to play guitar (again), but am going with a not bargain-basement-rubbish guitar this time. Just ordered this bad boy, an Epiphone SG Standard in ebony.

Hah, I’d forgotten about this! It’s up on Last.fm if you’re interested. :P
