    Re: Utilizing A Left Floor-Tom?

    Paradiddlediddles.

    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.

    Re: Rudiments with heavier sticks?

    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...

  8. Re: Adding a 13'tom instead of 8' HELP ADVICE PLEASE !!

    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...

    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.

  13. Re: Who is the most influencial drummer(s) of all time?

    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.

    Re: 2 floor toms?

    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.

    Re: Tibetan fish wood blocks.

    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...

    Re: Rarest Type of Drummer

    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.
