Thanks Spaz. If I stay on 1 drum too long then I get bored.

Rick,
I admire your willingness to share your drumming for all the world to see. That's not something most of us are prepared to do!

Just one of these videos, I want to see you smack the devil out of those things. Play along with some tunes and lay into those drums. Show 'em who's boss.

I ran across a great drummer a few years ago in a club who amazed me with his licks. (I was actually taking his place in the band.) I asked him how he developed such awesome skills. His response was: "Those are my drums. I paid for them. Now, I just tell those SOBs what to do!!!!"

Don't know why I told that story. It's always stuck in my head. I wish my drums would obey the way his did.

GeeDeeEmm

GD, I have had basically the same attitude for most of my life. I've said it several times over the years that "I play you, you don't play me".

I've always wondered why, of all the instruments 1 can play, the people who pick drums are the most intimidated by them (certainly not all, but I've run across so many people that are).

1 of the many reasons that I love watching Davikah play is the fact that she has only been playing about 7 years, has chops that drummers playing 20 years don't have, and PLAYS the damn things. Her drums "obey" her, not the other way around.
