This channel will feature myself playing along to drumless tracks of some favorite songs of mine as well as instrumentals, solos, pop songs, funk, rock, and who knows what else. Contact me for more information and enjoy the channel. It's my first one so bear with me as I continue to grow in making content that works.

At the end of the day on Thursday October 10th, the artist with the most votes will have their songs played on a celebration stream which I will put on at 3pm Central Standard Time on Saturday the 12th. The poll is still open to make your votes if you haven’t done so already.

So I’m thinking of doing a marathon stream doing songs of one artist who I’ve done many covers of. Whose music should I do a covers stream on? This will be for my 2K subscribers celebration.

I must apologize for not posting on here much but I do have plans to resume what was going to be a 1000 subscribers celebration stream. The holidays and things at home have made it extremely difficult to make time to do this but I will be posting this to let you know that I’ll be inactive for a couple weeks due to work at home and my annual training in the army that I’ll be out of town for. I hope to return as fast as possible and when I do, I’ll definitely get things going for my 1000 stream celebration with Michael Jackson covers that I originally planned to do last month. Hope you all are well and I hope to see you again soon. I’ve also posted a couple new covers and I had to re-upload one of them due to an unexpected error that I made and it got corrected. It already got a handful of views so it sucks that I had to take it down and back up again. Anyways, peace and love to you all and keep on drumming.

To everyone that has expected me to have the celebration stream, I regret to inform you that I am going to have to postpone it due to internet difficulties that I’ve been having and with the failing lag of OBS. This was such inconvenient timing and I have other priorities to attend to so it will happen next week and that may open the door for more opportunities for some giveaways on my e-book. I’m sincerely sorry about this but I promise that I will do everything in my power to make the celebration stream happen. Today was just not meant to be due to my internet and OBS acting up. Another thing that someone pointed out to me was that I posted my email address incorrectly. The entries was supposed to go to this email which is cbates41@yahoo.com. My last post had the number missing in my email so I’m sorry about that too. There will be a couple more videos coming too and be on the lookout for updates while I make plans to reschedule the 1K Celebration Stream with Michael Jackson covers. Thanks for your understanding and I hope to see you again soon.

Ok so here comes trivia question #2 for today, or you could choose to do a task for today.
Trivia question:
What is the name of a well known music star who got her start as being a backup singer for Michael Jackson’s Bad tour?
Here’s a task you can complete:
Can anyone put together a drum cover video of a Michael Jackson song, or send a link to a cover that you’ve already done of any Michael Jackson song?
All entries must be submitted to my email at cbates41@yahoo.com and be the first today to submit your answer or your task to win an e-book of my book, Pop Music Drumming. Celebration stream is still on for Saturday at 4:00pm central time USA
