To improve accuracy with your drumsticks try playing sets of rudiments on the top of a bottle of water, soda or whatever beverage you might be drinking. This was suggested for me back in high school by my drum captain on drumline and it works like a charm. Doing this especially helps wit...
If you're just starting out, don't go for the most expensive set. Like any hobby, start small and cheap until you are confident with your skills. You never want to break a $50 snare head when you're still learning 4/4 time. - ThexLou To play Double Pedal faster lift up your ...
You can remove the rubberized rim protector and this will help very modestly-- I tried this and it proved to me that the bigger snare would help immensely! Indeed, most drum sets have a rather large snare drum head (especially compared to an 8" one), and the rim is absolutely ...
The refreshingly easy manner in which you can set up and alter the feel of the Pro 1-Vs makes them of real interest to anyone with a pocket to cope with the prices. Yes, these are expensive propositions, but cutting-edge design and engineering never came cheap. ...
but it does have some good commentary - as when the younger brother pops in and out with his completely modern slang...with the more common "generation gap" themes running rampant at this time (early 60's), it's even more interesting...and, as I say, I lived in SF very near China...

Well here we are the end of cheap oil, the rides just begun, the world as is doesn't work well on $100 oil, the numbers are clear, even if no one quite had it pegged how it would start showing. The OECD numbers are clear. ...
I’m not buying any made-in-China imports. There’s a reason why they’re cheap: low labor costs and they don’t put that much into it. When you’re running production, you don’t want plastic parts. He got a Woodmaster Molder/Planer to make picture frames ...
Paint thinner has no tax on it so it is very cheap. Some dogey gas stations in Australia were mixing upto 50% paint thinner into their stocks. You can google for the articles, it was 3-4 years ago now. The paint thinner runs the car OK, but can damage seals. It also gives you ...
Even when there isn't a dramatic change in rock pressure there are limits to the range of mud weights used to drill a hole. That's why we see so many csg sets in the RW's. Too light a MW and the well flows. Too high a MW and you fracture the rocks and can easily lose the ...
