Shoutout to Dimitri for Learning One of My Beats - Rad!

Steemit-Fueled Creativity

I was browsing Steemit today when I stumbled onto a post from 18 days ago... no idea how I missed it. Basically @dimitrij took one of my drum grooves from an old post ('DRUM12') and learned / expanded upon the idea, adding some more intense patterns in the ride cymbal.

Here's his post: https://steemit.com/drums/@dimitrij/drum-01-practice-re-drum12-layers-upon-layers-of-polyrhythm-by-matt-sokol-recorder-man-over-head-recording-technique

This is a great example of how the internet brings people together. We don't even live on the same continent, yet I'm able to take inspiration from Dimitri's great music here on Steem and then he learns from my videos as well.

Blockchain Will Lead to Greater Ideas Than Centralized Social Media

"Creativity is just connecting things. [..] They were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things." - Steve Jobs, founder of Apple and Pixar

The nature of the blockchain is that it minimizes limitations and restrictions in favor of maximizing the spread of ideas. We allow ideas to grow and evolve rather than trapping them behind paywalls. If your goal, like me, is to simply create the greatest artwork that you possibly can during your lifetime - then it's a no-brainer to be on Steemit.

Forget about all the doubt, the day traders speculating on prices, the whale drama. Us dolphins & minnows really have no need to pay attention to that. There's so much fun to be had, and this is just awesome.

Thanks @dimitrij! If anybody else is looking for good drum and progressive music related content, he's a guy to follow.
