Pour Some Sugar on Me
Disclaimer: Music videos, contrary to popular belief, are not art. They are commercials for the art of the music. Like advertisements, they employ similar elements of art like writing, directing, acting, and the incorporation of statues, paintings, or other artistic articles. Now, with that out of the way, Tyler the Creator’s video for his excellent single “SUGAR ON MY TONGUE” is a mixed bag.

Tips for Beginner Drummers
A lot of people decide they want to learn to play drums early on in life; many as children or teens, who eventually go into music programs in school and learn a lot from that. For some of us, however, it is not that easy. I started drumming at the age of 27, and for me, that made it much harder in the beginning. Although I had taken chorus and marching band in high school, I had never attempted or tried to play the drums before, so a lot of things that I thought I knew about drumming were totally different than I expected. In spite of that fact, one thing was for sure; there was nothing like the feeling of playing my first beat. There is something to be said for the passion, elation, and extreme high that learning to play the drums gives us. That is what has kept me going for the past couple of years.

Merengue cover version of the shaggy Sting Song don’t make me wait
this is my version of the shaggy and Sting song don’t make me wait. My version of don’t make me wait isn’t orchestral and traditional organic jam that I decided to come up with for this one and it came out really well too. I’m proud of the way it came out. I learned how to properly do meringue by reading the musical instructions as to meringue music should be. Also, that I had was the Suavemente. Along with the music of Torino in particular, his are some of the blueprints that I order to follow along and properly learn how to construct and record meringue. I think it’s really cool the way that this this is one of my earlier meringue songs. I wanted to record this song because I’m a big shaggy fan all my I two at the time I was told to record well rather I wanted to record relevant songs in the shagging stinging song were relevant songs at the time because at that time they had just came out with a collaboration album where they recorded together and that’s a pretty cool album that both legendary artist had came out with.
