I've decided I like direct drive bass pedals, and discovered I can get a new Iron Cobra Flexiglide, or a Speed King, for about $120. Or a used 60's Speed King...
The Iron Cobra is a great pedal. I tried the Speed King in the early 80's and didn't like it - took it back and bought a DW 5000 double. The 60's one may be...

Triplets are tricky things. It is a scientific, if empirical fact that when 99% of all drummers play 2 bars of 4/4, and then switch to triplets to the quarter...
I agree with you, Ruthard in this post, but elsewhere you seem to refer to learning grips as a "shortcut". You may mean it differently, but I just want to make...
I know how you feel, except nobody around me has mentioned it being okay to play loud at all. I just play with pads, and I use some carpeting etc to reduce the...
