G'day!
I say that accuracy plays a large role purely from experience, as that is the only thing i assessed with my playing when i was having break problems (i didnt assess my hard hitting, although...

It has everything to do with technique. And as i said, i am talking about accuracy, so im not saying there is something wrong with the way the stick is being held for instance. Sticks are designed to...

If anyone is having trouble with their tips breaking, the problem can more than likely be linked back to your accuracy. If you hit the actual drums and dont hit the rims/ wherever the sticks shouldnt...

Oops! Totally overlooked those posts :\....
Thanks for the welcome! Its a really nice atmosphere here.

I can't believe noone has mentioned Danny Carey's playing in any Tool album.
Dave Grohl in the album Songs for the Deaf by Queens of the Stoneage
Thomas Pridgen's playing in the album The Bedlam in...

What are the dimensions of your snare and bass and what are they made of?

Remember that regardless of what head you use, some drums aren't built to make some sounds.

Also, you need to think...

Dont narrow it down before looking, look before narrowing it down! You dont want to jump the gun and miss out on a kit you might prefer. Even though you are keen on Maple/Ash, you should check out...

On your resonant head for the snare, loosen the 2 lugs either side of the snare wire (on both ends of the wire) provided it isnt too loose already. Dont worry about compensating for that loosening by...

Its just another aspect of drumming (and music). If you wanna be the best you can be at drums then you'll have to tackle it sooner or later - may as well give it a go!

Good luck!

Hey there,

As well as following all this advice of building up with books etc. Try think back to when you did have lessons and what you were taught in the opening stages of drumming. I know it was...

Hey,

Welcome to DC.

Buddy Rich is seen by most as a pioneer and one of the greatest drummers of all time - he couldn't read music.

Sheet music is becoming more relevant and maybe necessary...

I couldnt help but notice how you were keen on a 'crashable' ride.

Just make sure you dont ride the ride as you would the crash. Ride cymbals aren't designed for a regular crashing and so it...

Hey there, LDS

To answer your most recent question, definitely go for the Roland. Roland's rhythm coaches feel better and more 'natural' than Alesis ones do, and they have more capabilities...

Hey mate,

Fumbled time got it right saying its whatever is comfortable to you. You see catalogues with drums set up and they look nice and neat. Do not use those images as a guideline, because...

Hey there,

Pastor Bob has answered perfectly. To help you with Q1 (DBP), playing double kick is not just about how fast or how long you can play single strokes for. The best method IMO is to learn...

Hey there,

It's good to check out heaps of different books from different authors, as they all give their own perspectives on rudiments and the approach to them. I'd recommend practising rudiments...

Hey mate,

Wow, that doesn't sound good at all. Medical advice would be a good idea, but some things to look out for are whether you are holding the stick too tight. Try warming up your hands...
