    Mine is probobly my hi hat by keeping time when i'm on other things(rides, toms, etc.). My strongest point is my bass foot. I can do just about anything with it. I can do really fast triples and doubles.

    my biggest weakness in not being able to keep my eyes of my bassists butt when we play (i'm a girl BTW). it gets me all flustered and weird which affects my drum playing. but seriously, i find triplets on the bass drum difficult.

    My biggest weakness is,
    1. putting together a good solo. I can come up with good fills, but not soloing.
    2. I'm not too proficient with my rudiments. Not as much as I should be.

    Fill ruts. I have about 12 to 15 different ones that I use at any one time. New ones come and old one goes. I would like to expand that out more.

    The most problems I got is, with some of the hi-hat stuff, and doing some jazz... Besides that speed, and double kick is what I'm working on.

    Hey Leda,

    I used to have that problem awhile ago, I think with just practice and not holding the drums sticks too loose or tight well help make that go away. Can't remember what I did too make myself stop doing that.. maybe it's when I hit my singer in the back with a stick :|

    Cool Largest weakness?

    Leda, might try some drummer's tape or Drumstick Wax--either should help the flyin' stick problem...

    My biggest weakness is sight-reading...you need to sight-read to play outside the "box" of what you memorize!
    keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
