Re: What's wrong with burying the beater anyway?
Your teacher, and rightfully so, probably wanted you to practice this so you could learn control, dynamics and gain speed. Burying the beater is all good but you won't achieve as much dynamics and speed. It's good to learn to play both. I'll bet that most professional drummers that bury the beater can very well play very nicely with finesse, control, dynamics and speed using the "rebound" technique.
