Re: If only you knew what I know ;)
I doubt it’s Bruford, but it’d be great if I’m wrong.

Re: Practice it until it "feels good."
Yeah, that’s it.
+1 for the zen-like experience. It’s quite a satisfying feeling when you get there. How do you know when you’re there? I know it sounds goofy, but seriously, you’ll just know.

Re: Hi hat question
Yeah, you’d think so, wouldn’t you? At least, I did.

Re: Spy shots!
I’m pretty sure those snares would sound significantly different in Canadian air. It could be tricky marketing if you don’t get international facts. And I know you’ll be amazed at my selflessness,...

Re: A revolting development

Re: Facebook-only gear companies
My first impression would be “well, looks like Buddy’s working out of his garage.”
Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
But I’m still a fan of bricks-and-mortar stores where I can try...

Re: How to improve the left hand.
Put your right hand in your pocket and leave it there. All day. All the time.
Eat with your left. Open doors with your left. Put keys in locks with your left. Use your mouse with your left....

Re: Smooth Hissing Hi Hat
As you guessed in your initial post, recording technique has a major effect on the sound. Well, more accurately, I mean processing of the recording. If you slap a compressor on (a recording of) an...
