i understand you, but think you have misunderstood the question (my fault). The "stay @ home " drummer is the one who keeps a strong beat, fills where needed, but nobody really knows who he is. The other type is the Buddy Rich, or Neil Pe

Great link Tam. . .what a lot of drummers forget is that every beat/lick/solo concept comes back to a rudiment - if you don't know rudiments, you're putting yourself in a tough place to advance musically. When I get around to making a links database

Hey all - The tracks are great! Im Aaron - I started playing drums as a little kid beating on whatever I could around the house. I would often practice just patting my legs while sitting down and tapping my feet, since I had no kit. Got my first a

Its' interesting to find out how drummers feel about how they play. Are you a "stay @ home" drummer (like myself) who spends much more time concentrating on the basic beat, and less about being noticed, or are you the more creative/ up fro

Glad to have you as a member, Andy - Regarding lessons, I think that they can be very beneficial to a certain point, but once you have a laid a good foundation, you really don't need a teacher as much as you need a coach (someone who can show you t

Welcome to the forum, Andy!!!!!!! I think you'll find a general consensus that lessons are a good thing, there is some good stuff around youtube, which gives great visuals, and I have a link somewhere around the forum showing drum rudiments.

So far, nothing, sigh. I really doubt it would be amazing, but I did figure out how to quick-switch sounds and a double-bass kick sound off the e-kit, for when I finally get something to video and audio it up, LOL. Biggest hassle is the audio, this

Found this, might be helpful for newer drummers to see some rudiments we all keep expounding on http://www.drumrudiments.com/ The interesting thing is no triplets, except for the Swiss variation. This might be better put elsewhere in the forums,

Wow, great kit, DeepDrummer! Yes, I'm curious about the mounting, too. . . does a rack like that increase the resonance of the drums over the conventional stand-mounting? Welcome back, btw.
