PB, I am right with you, I am going for the Zildjian Custom A's too. The first one I am going to get is the ride...
I work in an ER/Trauma, see some very nasty stuff. The thing that works for us, me and my co-workers, is we use a lot of humor. We bounce stuff off each other and help each other. Somethings,...
Poof! Your wish is granted but you just found out it is your new bodyguard and you get your butt kicked, easily.
I wish I would stop dropping my right stick!
PD Drummer recommended one to me, it was cheap and is very sturdy. I can't remember what it was, I think it was a DW 800, but it was about $35. Please get a good quality hi-hat stand though, I am...
I get frustrated a lot when doing rudiments, but try to only go as fast as I can while doing it correctly. The speed will come. Don't push youself past the speed where you can play correctly, it...
Sure thing PB.
Hmm, my hands do not get sweaty, I think from listening to everyone, it may just be a grip adjustment problem. I used to hold them so tightly, especially when playing with others cause I get...
Okey-dokey, it is much better. Thank you, that link helped, I also seem to be missing one piece, which I wouldn't have known, so that may solve it completely. Thanks for your help!
This generation? I am old so I don't think its mine you are talking about. I am just having a new problem and wondered if anyone had run into this before as I am new and thought maybe it is...
Oh! I had it wrong. Thanks for that. I will try it...
Maybe I just need to experiment on how to hold the sticks perhaps? I held them "wrong" because that is what felt best to me, but as a beginner, I am trying to avoid bad habits so I am pretty careful...
All the fabric washers are attatched. I took the top off and found a screw that wasn't screwed in, it went on the bottom of the top piece and held the fabric things tight, it is still not perfect...
My son is the best. I will go try it and report back...
Matched grip. I am holding my sticks at the "balance point" (I used to hold the very end until someone pointed out this is incorrect, about 6 weeks ago) mostly with my thumb and index finger, with...
I just got back from vacation. My daughter broke the digital camera and was hiding it! Anyways, my son is a guitar player and doesn't know too much about drumming, but he looked at it and notice...
I never had this problem but now I keep dropping my right stick. It is very frustrating. Any ideas? I think I am holding them correctly. It is like my right hand forgets and just lets go.
Geez, thanks for taking the time with all the technical advice. I will print this up and go over it with hubby. As far as pictures, or video for heaven's sake, my teenage daughter isn't here, she...
I want to play bass because I want to learn EVERYTHING and guitar is too hard. I am taking singing lessons too. I also take tap, jazz and ballet. I am in my second childhood, or maybe, midlife...
My hi-hats close about 95% of the way when I step on my pedal. If I SMASH it really hard, it closes all the way and my foot cramps very quickly. My husband, who is an expert on all things...
Mea culpa. Didn't think about it. Thanks for the link.
I want to learn to play the bass. Does anyone here know where I can find how to play bass for free? You know how there are drum rudiments everywhere and this site of course is great. Though...
I have a friend who is a great drummer, been playing forever, and he comes over here and plays Rush exactly perfect on our litttle set, I don't know how, what with much fewer pieces, it always amazes...
Thanks guys, you all understood me and explained yourself fine. Geez, half the battle in drumming is just trying to explain stuff and understand each other. Anyways, I never even thought of starting...
When doing the basic rock beat 1e and a 2e etc the bass is on 1 and 3, snare on 2 and 4. That makes the beat a total of 16 beats long. So, when you do a fill, does it need to also be 16 beats? I...
What is Moongell? And Lafirin, I have seen your drums, they are mostly tape, with a little bit of drums in between...
