If your school is 5 kilometers away and you do the round trip twice a, you would go 20 kilometers a day. Even my old battery can do 40 kilometers on one charge. Something feels off.

I have checked and my Yamaha battery has an official lifespan of 700 charges. I am probably at around 200 and I have noticed that the battery holds maybe about half the capacity it used to. Which is still usable. So 8000 Kilometers feels to little to me and more like a defective battery than a problem with the technology.

I am so with you on this one. I have come around to a lot of songs, I can tolerate some real vile shit, I can be amused by absolute garbage, but this song goes against every fiber of my being. It’s like a cheese grater to my brain. And I don’t know why.

I’d it really depends on if you own a house that does not share any wall with any neighbors or if you rent an apartment. If you own a house, an acoustic drum may be feasible. Otherwise, having an electronic drum set is the only realistic scenario in which you can practice drums regularly. I had to drive to a secluded rehearsal space, pay rent and deal with the other people and their time schedule just to practice a bit. I wanted to practice every day, but I couldn’t. And it sucked. I’d say it’s better to practice a lot with a slightly altered feel from a real kit than to practice much less with a better feel. Also, edrum sets have improved a lot over the years.
