    Re: Does shoe damage happen to anyone else?

    I think I'm actually using it as a crutch in a way because I'm using the rebound bounce off a downstroke to get another hit in. So the top part hits the chain I guess. I have really bad form with the...

    Re: right hand goes numb playing

    Do you smoke?

    I used to smoke heavily and I got carpel tunnel symptoms a lot when using the computer. The blood flow was restricted. A few weeks after I quit it stopped.

    Does shoe damage happen to anyone else?

    Is this bad technique or positioning? My bass drum shoe gets shredded.

    Re: Am I doing single stroke rolls wrong?

    Thanks guys.

    I still can't grasp (hah) the concept of using fingers to gain speed, or specifically power. It just doesn't seem mechanically or physically possible to have heavy powerful rolls...

    Re: Am I doing single stroke rolls wrong?

    Sorry for the confusion, I totally understand that timing is all most important, but this is purely for example. I just mean to ask -is this a single stroke roll even if it's in bad form? If done...

    Am I doing single stroke rolls wrong?

    What am I doing in this video?

    People have told me (in person) that to do fast hits I have to use my fingers to bounce or whatever, but that just seems impossible for me at this point to squeeze...

    Re: ZERO creativity, but can copy well

    Thanks for the input all.

    Re: Learning drum covers

    Depends on how detailed you want to get reproducing stuff. I'm overly detailed and obsessed with accents and even mistakes, so I'll try and copy those too. Some people feel that if the major parts...

    ZERO creativity, but can copy well

    Hello. Been playing for 18 months. Only took a couple lessons plus countless YouTube videos.

    Problem is that I can't play something from my own mind. There's no creativity, no natural ideas or...
  10. Re: Are these 32nd notes or 16th triplets? (rap/hip hop)

    Thx. But it is accented right? Or do you think it just overlaps with the quarter HH and sounds like a triplet?
  11. Are these 32nd notes or 16th triplets? (rap/hip hop)

    First off, if you don't like rap skip over this. I linked the instrumental version.

    Re: Beginner / Ameteur periods

    Thanks for the input.

    Sparrow, I like that answer.

    Pastor, it was a hard compliment to swallow, it just put so much pressure on me (whether it was imagined pressure or real I can't say).

    I found myself playing through the first page extremely slow. I just don't get how people memorize all of it and play through at 120bpm. I have no idea until I saw people on YT ripping through the...

    Beginner / Ameteur periods

    Hello,

    When is someone not a beginner and therefore an ameteur, or even a pro/expert?

    I figure there's a lot of subjective answers to this, but thought I'd see what other people think.
