Re: Bobby Jarzombek here!
I had no idea that you are on here. I am really impressed with your double-bass playing. I am working on it myself. I need to get me some Axis pedals. I got big feet and they would help.

Re: STICK TWIRLING AND SHOWMANSHIP TECHNIQUE.
I know what you are talking about. If you do it fast enough most people won't even notice you went through all the fingers. I can do it moderately. The trick I like is called Walking the dog. It is a...

Re: Most Under-rated Drummers
i think Phil Rudd fits this thread perfect. He is in two words Simple Perfection. Everything he does fits AC/DC perfect. He never does anything too fancy. He just does what the song asks for.

Re: New snare
I agree with Dog Breath. It is impossible to choose a snare based on what people want. Snares are like fingerprints. No two are the same. You should really go to a music store and choose a snare. And...

Re: socks? barefoot? shoe?
I am a 13 but my feet are also extra wide. My shoes are 13 4EE. With shoes my foot cover the pedal to the point that I have no control. I can't do any sensitive foot work wearing shoes.
