Never to late and not at the early age of 37 anyway. I recommend Vic Firth SD1 sticks for practice pad work. To check the sticks take them out of the package...
I think what you need to look at is what soung you are looking for. the less you have to refine the recording of acousticdrums the better off your sound in...

Good question is what is a mistake. Who can say Steve Gadds posture is bad when he plays the way he does. My back would kill me if I sat like that and I don't...
