Hi, I have a big shed and I'm planning on soundproofing it. I was just wondering (to those of you who have worked with soundproofing) what materials are best to use to make my shed sound proof.

I've already seen all three of those videos and they don't help me enough. I've been practicing french grip though and I kinda like it. I'll just try that I guess...

Hi, I've been playing with bad technique for a while and need to know how to play all three of these grips. I want to learn all three and see which works best for me. Problem is that I can't find a...

Thanks a lot! I'm also going to start learning the Gladstone technique, so if you have any tips on that just let me know. Thanks again

Ever since I can remember I've either wanted to play drums or sing. There are even home movies of me with drum sticks hitting the back of a booster seat like I was trying to play. I first tried...

Yeah thanks a lot Mcramer. I've been thinking that the grip I use to play is way wrong. I checked out the three major grip types (German, French and American) and found that I don't use either. I use...

Yeah I might have strained a tendon but I've tried resting and it didn't fix it. I'm thinking that maybe I grip the sticks wrong and I need to try a new playing style. I think I'm gonna try the...

I've been having a problem for a while with my left hand. I want to play rudiments but after playing them for a few minutes my left hand starts to hurt. It's not joint pain, it feels more like a...

Hey, I have a serious problem. A while back I bought an aquarian super kick 2 bass drum head, and after about a month or two it broke on me. Then I used the bass drum head that came with my kick and...

Hey, I don't know if this has ever happened to you guys but I feel like I've kinda come to a stand still. I need to learn some things, but I'm not sure what. I think my fills need the most...

Cool, thanks!:punk:

Hi, I've been playing for about a year and a half now and I've never actually taken the time to learn a song beat for beat. I usually just play to songs on my zune and do exercises on the side of...

What I'm doing right now:
1.Play to 10 songs
2.Play rudiments for hands and feet for 30 minutes altogether
3.Practice a song for about 20 minutes
4.Play to metronome for 20 minutes

I don't...

Lol thanks for reminding me of that! I thought about doing that but I was wondering if there was a simpler few exercises I could just do. I'll check out that video though. If not, I'll go back to the...

Hello! Umm, I'm getting better at a nice rate but the one thing I'm not practicing is my coordination and I feel like i lack a lot in that area. Do you know some exercises on the drum set I can do to...

So once I get a rudiment down comfortably on a practice pad, then what?

Don't mean to shoot you down there buddy..and waste all your time of trying to sound philosophical or whatever...BUT, I said that I play Death Metal because a person on this thread asked me what I...

Umm I don't really practice rudiments that often. I don't know what to do with them really. I know they're important, but I don't know what to do. I've tried to make beats and fills with 'em and I'm...

I'm not stressing myself. I'm having fun with it. An hour and a half a day isn't really that rigorous.

Anyone got any instructional book suggestions? I also just started learning songs all the way through note for note, I wanna know if you guys think that's a good idea to do. I want to practice...

I really want to take lessons too. Does anyone know how much the average going rate for lessons are?

Thanks everyone for your tips. I appreciate it. Also, the screename 'Weslapootayn' holds no meaning. It's a gibberish word I made up in the 9th grade (or close to). If that gives you any idea, I'm...

Well, I just hit the 1 year mark of playing drums seriously a couple months ago and I've started to look at my practice regiment a little harder. First off, here's what I do.
I play along to 10...

Thanks a ton! I'm gonna try that workout thing tomorrow. I appreciate it a lot! Take care

I was wondering if any of you knew good double bass exercises that will help me to be better all-around at it. The bass is my weakest point. I'm also experimenting with heel-toe, so if you guys know...
