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

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...
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...
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...
Thanks for the input all.
pastor_bob ,I think that's a good summary, I don't understand fully why things are done or when to use each part of the kit. I don't know stick patterns or anything....
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...
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...
Thx. But it is accented right? Or do you think it just overlaps with the quarter HH and sounds like a triplet?
First off, if you don't like rap skip over this. I linked the instrumental version.

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...
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.

Hello,
Beginner here, don't get to play too much on a real kit, mostly a Roland Td-4.
Got my first set of 15" New Beats and have noticed that compared to the common 13-14" sets in rehearsal...
Thanks for the input guys. Will probably go Sabian HH Raw bell or one of the Zil's I mentioned above.
Here's a comparison of the Sabian Raws

I'm looking to buy my first ride. I've been playing casually for about 9 months. I practice mostly on a Roland TD-4 and sometimes on a real set at studios with in house kits. Wondering if someone can...

I've been trying to figure out what snare he used on Tonight, Tonight for months!!!! thank you!
One last bump..any ideas?
Thanks much! :drumset-3:
Hello again,
A while back I asked if anyone knew what snare Jimmy Chamberlain used on "Tonight, Tonight."
I found "Ride a Black Swan" from the Zwan album and the snare is even more defined,...
(I cross posted this at another drum forum, but haven't really had any input - so I'm trying here :shifty: )
Hello all..
I feel a little nervous asking about this since I assume lots of new...
