It’s because of the fact that I’m protecting my brand and then protecting the people in the cast and I want them to have the best time possible. Because if moderation action has to be taken against somebody, it’s not personal. The hardest thing is probably dealing with people who make things personal. The8BitDrummer: It’s hard to find a negative about it. What’s the hardest thing about live streaming? I love it and I want to do it for as long as I can.” “It’s straight up a dream come true to be able to do this for a living. I’m talking to people who I’ve looked up to for a very long time. And the fact that both of them can collide and people enjoy watching what I do and I’m able to make a living off of this from people’s generosity is ridiculous. I’ve always loved games and stuff like that. It’s like a dream come true, to be honest, because I’ve always loved music.

Streamlabs: Did you ever think you’d be creating content full time. They just give me a YouTube video and I try to make it as fun and entertaining as possible. Everybody can come in and make whatever suggestions they want. My cast consists of playing suggestions for people from the chat. I do three hours four days a week, Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. Streamlabs: What kind of content do you normally stream? I wanted to have fun doing something cause I was a sad boy at the time. Basically, I just started because I wanted to better my situation. So it was like one of those crossroads that went perfect together. It just happened to be at the same time as the music section had opened up on Twitch. And it just worked out really well after I got everything kind of working. I had no sound on my first stream, which, you know, is very detrimental to a music base cast. But it came with like a little effects processor, and I just plugged my drums into it and a friend of mine told me about twitch, and I was like, you know, I want to give it a try. So I’m just like, wow, that was a waste of money.
#THE 8BIT DRUMMER TWITXH PRO#
But pro tools never worked on my old laptop. They had a drum kit and I was just like, you know what, I kind of want to make music. But I ended up at the church at the youth group that I was at the time. I wouldn’t call it full-blown depression, but it was pretty darn close. I had just broken up with a long term girlfriend at that time. The8BitDrummer: So I started live streaming because I really wanted to do something to get myself out of an iffy situation that was in. Streamlabs: How did you first get into live streaming? So that’s basically where the name came from. Like that’s literally all I listened to and yeah, I like drumming. I’m a huge connoisseur of video game music.
But yeah, it just comes from my love of video games, video game music. Like I had no online presence really whatsoever. And that was like maybe two and a half years before I even started streaming or anything online. I didn’t know I was going to do anything with it. So I ended up making the Twitter account, Instagram, stuff like that, which I barely used at that point in time. And I had been playing drums for about eight or nine years at that time, so I was just like The8BitDrummer, that’s a good idea. So I’m just like on social media, and I had like an old name and stuff like that and I really want to rebrand myself.
And I’m just sitting there by myself because I am so out of place at this concert. The8BitDrummer: I was actually at a concert with my sister for her birthday. Where did the name The8BitDrummer come from? I go by The8BitDrummer online and I’ve been streaming for, I think four years and one month now if I’m not mistaken. The8BitDrummer: My name is Jared Collins. Streamlabs: Can you introduce yourself and how long you’ve been streaming
