Last night, my jazz quartet rehearsed over the internet for the first time. The covid restrictions here in Sweden make it unviable to meet up in person right now for playing, so this was our only option. We used a software called Jamulus.
It was really quite fun, and worked surprisingly well. Also, my VF SD5 Echo sticks got their first use in a very long while. These are surprisingly light and quiet, and much preferable to rods to me. I also got to use my 1940s something 20" Old K, weighing in at about 1,550 grams, a very thin but absolutely gorgeous ride that I get to use too seldom.
Anyway, I so wish the pandemic to be over soon. But untli it is, I really can recommend this kind of internet playing solution. Everything worked smoothly. I live in a flat in an apartment building, so cannot do these things more than once a week, at the most. I've got great neighbours, and am intent on keeping it that way.
Here is a poor pic of my setup last night.
