Ooh, this is an embarrassing one ...
Having spent years learning (and having lessons) on e-kits - and recently getting my first real, acoustic kit - which I've only been able to play very rarely (thanks to lockdown and no space of my own) and with brushes only - I've suddenly been mortified to find I have a serious, ingrained left-hand problem.
I can't hit the damn drum with a stick.
The bounce from the real heads makes my all my left-hand strokes 'buzz' a double stroke!
This problem was clearly concealed by the lack of bounce on my e-drum pads...
How can I get out of this hole I've dug? ?
