Hey guys,
I recently injured my bass drum foot and I'm trying to adjust my practice routine to give the foot a rest while I recover, meaning no bass drum playing!
I was wondering if anyone has any tips in relation to what to practice without using the bass drum? At the moment, I'm working on various orchestrations of rudiments around the kit, open-handed technique, left foot clave independence, brushes on the snare, and just hi hat technique in general.
I was considering practicing the bass drum with my left foot but not sure how much benefit it would be?
I'd really like to continue working on more musical stuff, rather than solely focusing on technique which is what a lot of my practice has become now. Do you think it's a good idea to practice along to songs/work on soloing etc. with just the hands and left foot, or would it be a bit of a waste of time if I can't incorporate the bass drum?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, cheers!
