    Re: Matched to Traditional

    I started matched, then began playing traditional over 12 years ago. I remember this fact because it was at a jazz camp in 1998 when I met a guy who explained to me Tony Williams' left hand. Also I...

    Re: Hilarious

    I'm a huge fan of Brain. I even got to take a lesson from him once. Never forgot it, still use what I learned to this day. Does anyone have the DVD this came from? I'd love to hear a review of that!

  9. Re: Is drumming easier if you're short (heightwise)?

    Raise your seat if you legs got longer. (Although, come to think of it, Tommy Lee is pretty tall and he sits hecka low.)

    My short recommendation - check out Jojo Mayer's DVD on technique.

    Re: Show Me Yours. I'll Show You Mine

    Most digital still cameras have a "movie" mode that shoot pretty good video. My Sony has one, I think it's a 7.2mp camera.
