Groovy Tunes; Friday [ 05/16 ]

Chad was thinking that he didn't mind working through an event like that luau things so much because it wasn't like Teddy was here to go to it with him. But, usually, an event like that meant Teddy would skip it, too, to spend time with Chad at the store, and he wasn't around to do that, either. So Chad wasn't entirely sure how he felt about it. He made sure the shipment of new releases had gotten put out right and straightened the place up a bit, made sure a drum kit had been put together at the back of the store for later, and then...repeated all that, because there wasn't much else to do.

Today's mix: Couldn't Be More Random If I Tried

Groovy Tunes was open!

Johnny wasn't too sure about this. More worried about looking like an idiot because he just wasn't musically inclined. But he told Chad he would come by and so he was here, walking through the door and heading back towards the counter.

"Hey, how's it going?"

"Nothing much. Came by 'cause I told you I would. Check out the whole drum thing," he said, hands shoved in his pockets.

Reaching up, he caught the drum sticks and followed Chad, testing the weight of the sticks in his hands. "Never held a pair of these before."

"They feel alright, actually," mused Johnny thoughtfully, spinning them through his fingers. "Not too awkward at all."

Grinning, he spund them again, thinking it was more of a natural thing to do. And oh man, if Johnny thought he could do that with drumsticks? Hell yeah he would learn to play! At Chad's offer, he sat down and checked out the drums. "Not bad... not bad. Least I don't feel like I want to hop right back up. Feels pretty good actually."

"Cool," he said with a nod while he tapped a drum with the tip of his stick. "But you know I can't play, right?" he called out.

"Yeah, okay," Johnny commented, having to agree with that. He tapped a couple more drums, getting a feel for the sticks in his hands, using right and left then together. "So what now?"

"Alright," he replied and situated himself more comfortably, locating the foot pedal. Johnny listened to Chad for a second before he stared in, finding the beat rather easily, keeping up without pressing too heavily. "Yeah? This good?"

This was a bit more difficult and it took a few embarrassing moments for him to find his groove and get with the rhythm, but once he had it, he held it and looked over at Chad expectantly, gaging his reaction (if there was one) to his progress.

"Right," he said, his tone unsure as he started in with his left hand, trying to keep with the beat but failing for now. He didn't quit, he kept up with the practice until he did find it, his eyes on the drums and his hands while he his foot kept to the bass. "Damn, this is harder than I was anticipating," he mumbled, more to himself really.

"Thanks, man," he replied with a nod and actually he kept nodding, though to the beat. He tapped the drum part that pinged... "What's this part called?"
