Re: left handed drummer, opinions wanted.
Ekel:
As you discovered when your grade two teacher tried forcing you to write with your right hand, it wasn't natural and it wasn't comfortable.
I would set the kit up so your toms would be right-to-left (I once played a friend's left-handed kit and he was as comfortable with that as I would be with my right-handed kit)...in fact I have a new appreciation for southpaw drummers from my attempts to play the left-handed kit...
However, drmpunk has a good point about learning to play with left- and right-handed styles, so try to get comfortable as possible playing both ways...
...and considering you're more focused on the drums than the computer, that may be a gentle nudge to all of us!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
