Just to show how confusing this subject can be, Here's a post I put on another forum a week ago. [link removed]
What Andre did, would be every bit as crazy, and talking about as irrelevant, ...
Hey Scotch! How ya doin'?
Andy
You're not meeting me halfway, you're agreeing 100% with me.
Snaretan said you could write it in 9/8, but it would be ridiculous. I said he was right. You say "You "could" write it in 9/8, but you...
He said,
So, isn't that exactly what you're saying. "It could be, but you wouldn't."
I'll assume that's a joke.
I hope you're not talking about me there.
From the original post:-
I have really dry hands, and with normal sticks, this causes a lack of grip that makes me grip tighter than I should, particularly when really rocking. This harder grip causes more tension, and...
Woah! I don't know anyone on this site personally, so this is a totally objective statement. Sorry, Drummer, but you're wrong there and re being able to write it in 9/8, Snare tan is correct.
I...
I've seen and played this feel when backing singers and shows. More often than not, at this sort of tempo and feel, it's written in 3/4. If it was written in 6/8, it wouldn't be a problem either, but...
Which song? Tony Royster Jnr's was, "Caravan," First performed by Duke Ellington in 1937.
Gavin Harrison was playing "The Chicken" which was a Joco Pastorius tune recorded I think in 1982.

Inspired by a video on Youtube, I decided to make myself an internal mount for my Bass Drum mic.
To be honest, I'm fairly useless at DIY, but the whole thing took maybe a couple of hours, went...
They Say:-
My Yamaha Gigmaker snare, after 3 years of gigging WAY beyond it's intended use, (I more more less accidentally found myself gigging 4-5 nights a week in an Indie Rock band, and...
Update.
First of all, thanks for the kind words on the Cheat sheet system. Glad it was of help, and anyone else, obviously feel free to use it or adapt it as you think fit.
So How useful is...
When you say fitting notes in a measure, I'm assuming you're talking about a bar not a beat? If so
Think of the nine as triplets in 3/4, so "1,an,er,2,an,er,3,an,er,1,an,er,2,an,er,3,an,er," is...
Which bit do you not understand? surely if you read music you understand the chart for Cocaine?
The "Cheat Sheet.":- I did say, "It's my own shorthand, but it works for me." It's just an example...
I learned to sight-read so I could get some of the best jobs on luxury cruises, Tours theatres etc.
Below is a post I put on a thread 3 months ago, (doesn't anyone use the search function anymore?)
Just to say. "Mammy daddy" is traditionally the name for a two stroke roll not a paradiddle.
Personally, I don't necessarily think you should vocalise as yo play, (but if it helps, go ahead,) but...
Mmmmmm must admit I'm confused by some of the answers on here. Maybe I'm misunderstanding.
I cannot for the life of me think why having toms or cymbals at exactly the same height and angle should...
Brilliant Quote!

I played mine outside on a hot sunny day. The wrap bubbled away from the wood in a couple of places. It is a black kit so that would have made the situation worse.
Now, if it's not under cover, I...
I had a Ludwig 400 for many years as my "Any gig, workhorse," snare. Then it got stolen, I needed a replcement fast as I was going away on a cruise, Local shops didn't have a Ludwig. I bought a 10...
Couple of points.
1/ As soon as you start to tense up, STOP! Slow down the metronome and start again. NEVER PRACTICE TENSE!. If you practice tense, you will play tense.
2/ Try Zoggs Sex Wax,...
When I play Jazz, My main thought is, what i believe to be the first part of the hypocratic oath, "Do no harm." I'll happily play the same thing all the way through a tune if that is what makes it...
...er.. because the sound doesn't originate from the resonant head. The sound originates from the batter head, and is shaped by the resonant head. We mic from above because it gives the most accurate...
Hi, Didn't have any overheads, didn't need them in that situation.
If we were playing anywhere much bigger I'd probably use at least one overhead. Also, I think I'll be playing quite a bit this...
