Great review. I love my DW 9000 mseries pedals, I have both the single and double versions. Light, responsive, not clunky able to accomodate soft and loud...
Fri. Oct.31 I was playing with a dreadlock wig on (Holloween) my sticks kept getting snagged in the wig and messing my playing up a little. I can recover...
Oh, I forgot about the 1901 WFL model pedal with the huge felt beater that I found sitting in the back of an antique shop in small-town Illinois during time...
Especially when I am anticipating an important fill or complex passage. I'll blow it more often than I can pull it off. Thinking about it isn't the problem, in...
LOL, yes, it happens to me as well on occasion. sometimes I'm playing a song that's so easy my mind starts to wonder and when i snap back i realize i don't...
... because it looks cool with ... Jan, You just reminded me of something. I remember seeing a guys kit on the net and noted to him that I thought it was cool...
very well put! that's exactly my problem as well. I get apprehensive about the fill that's coming and that's what makes me screw it up. I too don't have a...
I totally agree!! In fact, I've been known to say you can't think and play drums at the same time! OK, maybe that's poorly worded but it makes a point. I...
The nonsense that came about due to the argument over, of all things, feet technique, has left a very bad taste in my mouth. In a letter to Zilla, I mentioned...
With my sincere and forthright apologies to everyone who already knows this and my total respect toward anyone who chooses not to accept this opinion on this...
This is also an old theatre technique. You close you eyes and imagine yourself on stage acting out your part, saying all your lines and giving the performance...
One of the problems with any sort of e-mail forum is that attempting to give good advice is often interpreted as general bigheadedness. Jan ... has ... ...
hi cionocallaghan, not to sound contrary, but i feel that this list is the complete opposite of the way you just described it. i have never, until this last...
... opposite of the way you just described it. ... boasting from anyone in the group, instead i saw a lot of support and people of different experience levels...
For me , the drums are kind of like my mood ring. As violent as people perceive drummers to be, the more stressed out I am, the more my playing is affected....
Honestly Mitch... I have experienced what you are talking about before but it usually doesn't effect me a lot. The only time I find myself effected is if I am...
Zilla adressed this already but I want to throw my 2 cents in here. This group is by far my favorite group on the internet. It... by far... has the best...
In my opinion, it's not productive to just repeat the same fills all the time and expect to get them right through endless practice and rote repetition. Don't...
Thank you so much, Tony, for your positive comments. All the things you like about the Lair are exactly those things I had in mind when I started this Yahoo...
Years ago I heard trumpeter Wynton Marsalis mention that the best way to practice is very slowly. So today I've been doing that. I've been setting the click...
My ex-step dad, who is/was an old school drummer... once told me that anything you can play slow you can play fast. Playing slowly is actually much more...
I am discovering a similar phenomenon: that I can execute complex pattern "x" mid-tempo, but I cannot perform it at a slow tempo without tripping over my...
I have always found that slow practice is my secret weapon. It is has contributed to me being quite rock steady. It is great for control. It is something...
This is a great thread! I've always practiced slow to learn a new groove, but then try to speed it up as soon as possible. I always feel as though the...
I just bought a Buttkicker and, as I promised in an earlier post, here is my review. As a reminder to why I am trying this thing out, I play in a church with...
I used to have to do that alot while I was in the Military on a Temporary Duty somewhere other than my normal Duty Station. Except I would actually do the...
This is also the way I would learn a new fill or beat. Try it slow, then speed it up.."They" say it's a muscle memory thing...I'm also the loudest drummer most...
Today I've been playing a double stroke roll between my right hand on the ride and my left hand on the snare, while playing single pedal right foot BD doubles...
