Hi, new to the forum. I made an account to post this question. I saw the other thread where the OP didn't have the same "feel" between the pad and the snare.... my question is somewhat different. I have been practicing finger technique and moeller technique and have gotten okay at at. (still not great but I am doing it). When I try to apply it to the drumset I can't seem to make it work. I play mostly punk and metal...meaning I hit hard. I wanted to make finger technique or moeller technique mostly on the hats/ride to get the speed up without getting too tired on long songs . and of course to burn up fills. when I try to switch from single hits to finger technique its just awkward....for one all of my coordination falls apart but I know thats just a matter of putting in a couple hours of effort. but even faking it for a short while...i can't get the same sound as single hits. It's a real bummer because I have already put in a lot of hours on the pad trying to do this. I guess I am just looking for some advice from someone who is better than I am and who can do this... am I on the right track? or do I just screw it and play single hits all day?? or what..... I can get by playing everything I need to, I just was trying to do it more...effortlessly. Thanks...
