  2. Re: Kim Kardashian wearing a jacket with my band's name on..........

    If she's wearing it then somebody made it/got paid for it.

    Re: Who doesnt read music?

    I'm sure a lot of the time it's a shortcut for achieving a manageable sound but I also think that since the use of electronic and produced drum sounds what people expect a drum kit to sound like can...

    Because they have been doing it for years and that's what their muscle memory is geared up to do.

    Re: Gloves

    Billy Ward's DVD 'Big Time' has a great intro on how to set up the kit for playing ergonomically and comfortably, one of my favourite drum DVDs.

    Re: is it normal?

    Over-tensing can be an issue too, when I'm drumming comfortably my whole body is very relaxed even if it's moving chaotically.
