R, L on the up tom, R, R on the floor tom to the right, L, L on the floor tom to the left. Close it off with a crash on the next note.

Jeff Moore's are Marching snare sticks and generally play on a surface that feels similar to playing on a counter top due to the tension used in those drums. Many drum lines play a lot of rudiments...
Perhaps that would change the sound?

Drumbledore,
Is that a Club Jordan? Front view please? I'd love to see the finish. Also, any videos of you playing it with a group? It's hard to find good video's of someone playing a coktail...
Rain,
I then approach the drum set as I do marching tenors. The wrist/fingers are used for the vertical motion required to strike the playing surface where the elbow/shoulder are used for the...
For marching drums, I use a yamaha drum key like this one:

It has extra long arms on it to give you more...
I think it would work fine.
I'm not sure how your drums are currently tuned, but you might need to make some changes.
I currently have a 12", 13", 14" 16"ft 18"ft. I tune my 12" pretty high...
What does it take to change it? I can't imagine what would be so difficult about that. I'd like to see a pic of that.

Love the solo! I think it makes a great point to show all of the unexplored versatility of the instrument that gets ignored by throwing in more cymbals/toms. Very creative with what is available! ...
Gregory,
It would help to hear it. Maybe just a weird syncopation... it's hard to tell without hearing it.

Don't forget stomping and snapping then.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Sanford Moeller.
Moeller brought us the "Moeller stroke"/"Moeller method". It doesn't seem like much, but with it, he started influencing people to...
In a concert band/orchestral setting, match grip is preferred. It is much easier to get a consistent sound between hands when playing match than it is with traditional.
There are also a lot of...
I either count every other note as a triplet and line that up on my right hand and just let the left follow.
OR, I count as eighth notes and remember that every third note will line up.
The...
I usually play with 2 down. When I use a 14 and 16, I can reach the 16 without too much trouble. When I play 16 and 18, I have difficulty reaching the 18.

That might do the trick, I'm a visual person, so I'd have to get a better view of it to understand what exactly is going on there with your mount. From what I read, I think you are making a temple...
Based on my drumline experience, I'd agree with your friend. Off the top of my head,We'd have MAYBE 1 or 2 lefties in a whole line of 30, but have at least 5 females.

I think I've seen a bass drum beater made out of the rods...

Wolvie56,
I think you need to work on the mount as it isn't shock mounted. Directly screwed in like that will put a ton of force on/around the screw and break the block up there with or without...
I love the kit!
My thought on moving the toms is that you will play your ride a LOT more than your high tom. Keeping it where it is makes it a lot more comfortable for long periods of riding. ...
Were the tryouts perhaps a formality and placement may not have necessarily be based solely on ability? I know when I placed for a drumline, I didn't give picks in order of ability. There are many...

What did I do to deserve this?
Thanks!

I tune my batter head as loose as I can and still feel a decent rebound (springs on the pedal help this). It's probably pretty tight by most standards, but considering I cut my teeth on marching...
