I bought a new Yamaha DTX8 drum kit!

@trevorpetrie made an amazing post about the new drum kit with all the details that led to the decision and some amazing photos. This is by far one of the best examples of how to choose the equipment you need and have fun while doing so. Great job!

I'm not known for my ability to play the drums. In fact, I'd wager most people don't know that I play the drums more often than I pick up the guitar. I find it incredibly cathartic but also quite meditative at the same time. That and they're just darn good fun to bash away at.

One of my main concerns was making sure the manufacturer has been doing this for a while already - I don't like purchasing gear that hasn't been 'road tested' - that's what R&D departments are supposed to be for. I wanted a kit that will do the job from day one.

Hello World 👀

It’s not often for us to promote completely new authors, but @marcelstrelow had to be an exception. This photographer showed us once again that the platform is ready for new and amazing talents so make sure to send some love and follow for more.

*Hi, this is my first post here. I have no idea if I'm doing it right but guess it's best to learn and iterate.

I'm a landscape photographer from Germany and love capturing light and creating memories 🤍 📷*

But now...some first photos - from bright to dark ✨

10,000 Hours - Hour 384

To move or not to move, that is the question. Join us as we discover the intimate and hilarious thoughts @herbertholmes2 describes and maybe even pitch in with the final decision.

I woke up on a love seat in a sea of beer cans and bacon grease with a dog licking my ankles and a Marvel movie on full blast. Around me were four other unconscious bodies; some sprawled out, some still upright.

But I gotta do what I gotta do. I don't see myself being happy here. Not the way things are now. And as for what would need to change- well, I'm not gonna get into that, but it's not happening. Not here, and not anytime soon.

Bringing IN the weeds!

Who knew weeds could be so interesting and used in many different ways. If you take a closer look at this post you will soon realize that everything has a purpose when you have great goals.

At Ligaya Garden, we often bring IN weeds! Many weeds are super nutritious for both us and the garden. Even those that we use for the garden provide nutrition for us eventually through the vegetables that we eat from our block.

My Nettle and Thistle extract, when blended with a Comfrey extract gives a massive boost to flowering, fruit set and retention in the right season. It makes Tomatoes go crazy!

Where I See Myself In 5 Years From Now - Ladies Of Hive #68

@mamrita takes us to the future and depicts the perfect plan for every aspect of her life. As true believers in visualization, we are here to support her dreams and follow her for more adventures.

So actually I have had kind of the same goals for my life for some years already, everything just hasn't come to fruition yet. That's partly because of the pandemic but of course I also have a responsibility to make things happen.

As I don't like the winter here in Europe I see myself spending the cold months in Asia somewhere. Could be Thailand, Bali, or India. This can also vary from year to year. I'm rather flexible here 🙂
