Re: All the great drummers played for....
To be a good drummer, you don't have to practice "for hours". You have to practice as much as you need to.
It also depends on how successful you want to be in the industry. If you just want to...

Re: You, Your Mind, and Drumming
I just love the way it feels. There's just something incredibly satisfying about getting that perfect rebound on a single stroke roll around the kit, hitting the ride cymbal just right to get the...

Re: In doubt about band
It sounds like you just aren't on the same level as the other guys. I've found that I can never be happy in a band where I'm the most advanced one. I need to be constantly challenged and inspired by...

Re: Posessive pinky
