I was in an accident and my left wrist and hand are broken in 3 places. It hurts to even hold a drumstick in that hand. Luckily I'm still able to drum with the other 3 limbs, and I am right handed so that helps. I should have my hand back in a month or two. In the meantime I'm kind of enjoying the challenge of figuring out how to play without it. Basic beats, it was pretty obvious that I just had to bring the right hand down and hit the snare with it, but for playing fills I had to get a bit more creative figuring out how to play them with only one hand. In a way I feel like closing one door opened another in that I'm realizing I can do way more with my right hand than I ever thought of before. Like I feel like my drumming is improving in ways it never would have if this hadn't happened. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
