TJ Hartmann "Waves"
From the overhead perspective, it looks like a big reach to get the cymbal with the holes or the one that is even further right!
The groove is seriously great in this video!

Was 2025 an Odd-Time Drumming Year?
Since 2025 is an odd-numbered year, I have decided that one of my goals (not a New Year's Resolution) is to work on my ability to play drums in an odd-time, meaning, not in "4/4" or "3/4" or "6/8" - those are the primary time signatures of the tunes that I play when I play drums, whether it is with Bad Rumor or at Saint Thomas More. The video below is 18:00 long and by Nate at the 80/20 Drummer. It's only 1-2-2025 and there's 363 days (11 months, 4 weeks, 1 day) until the end of this year. I'm going to create a reminder post that will be published on 12-31-2025 with a link back to this post. I'll predict right now that on 12-31-2025, I have NOT spent a lot of time on my odd-time drumming. There, I said it.

2025-09-07-BR-HouseDivided-Set-03-005955
And yes, here's my favorite set of drumming in 2025 - the 3rd set at House Divided in Ely. The tunes are all good, mixing the new tune Evil Ways along with our standard tunes like Ready for Love, Can't Always Get, and yes, even Freebird. We played tight with the standard ones and I personally loved the way I played Evil Ways. Personally, I would have been happier if the bee 🐝 had not been near me...
00:00:00-00:07:42 Evil Ways
00:07:42-00:15:15 Mustang Sally
00:15:15-00:19:15 Great Balls of Fire
00:19:15-00:24:15 Brown-Eyed Girl
00:24:15-00:31:30 Texas Flood
00:31:30-00:37:30 Old Time R&R
00:37:30-00:59:55 Ready for Love
00:45:00-00:51:00 Can't Always Get What You Want
00:51:00-00:59:55 Freebird
00:00:00-00:07:42 Evil Ways
00:07:42-00:15:15 Mustang Sally
00:15:15-00:19:15 Great Balls of Fire
00:19:15-00:24:15 Brown-Eyed Girl
00:24:15-00:31:30 Texas Flood
00:31:30-00:37:30 Old Time R&R
00:37:30-00:59:55 Ready for Love
00:45:00-00:51:00 Can't Always Get What You Want
00:51:00-00:59:55 Freebird
2025-10-11-4MD-Set-02-DrumCam-002908
In addition to playing drums with Bad Rumor and the open mic in Door County, I also played a Halloween neighborhood Halloween party on October 11th with Kevin, Jeff, Cody, and Josh. Of the 3 sets we played, set 2 is my favorite and I am noting this gig with my Honorable Mention distinction for 2025. I enjoyed playing with these guys and I am hoping that we establish some sort of regular rehearsal schedule for 2026.
Bad-Rumor_2025-03-22-StickysCabana-Higbee-MO
Hands down, playing drums at Sticky's Cabana was a highlight of 2025... I know I was excited to play outside of Iowa and I am proud of how much I was locked in with my bandmates... and it ranks as my 4th favorite drumming in 2025.
2025-08-04-Door-County-Open-Mic
As 2025 winds down, I would propose that these 3 tunes on Monday night, August 4th at Husby's in Door County, WI, is my 5th choice for my best drumming in 2025.
2025-09-04-Sammy's Jam
https://youtu.be/2ymGcIVLsbU?si=-CoM_wdHssfHnE21
As 2025 winds down, I would propose that this set on Friday night, September 4th at Sammy's in Cedar Rapids is my 3rd choice for my best drumming in 2025.
2025-11-01-BadRumor-DannysOnDonald-Set-04
As 2025 winds down, I would propose that the 4th set on Saturday night, November 1st at Danny's on Donald in Waterloo is my 2nd choice for my best drumming in 2025.
