    What helps you increase your speed?

    Lots of practice gradually building speed. If you can't play it clean slow, you can't play it. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

    Clothing - Dress Code for Drummers

    Jeans and a black T-Shirt. You can wear this outfit to your mid afternoon wedding gig and then drive to down to the local dive bar for your black metal bands set. You will not be out of place at either event.

    Hi-Hat Clutch Recommendations

    Tama quick-set QHC7 is my favorite. I also have the gibraltar quick release clutch that is about 90% as good as the Tama.

    Tama 50th Anniversary Reissue of Superstar Birch Sets

    HHX and AAX together?

    Here is a little pro tip that will save you a bunch of headache in the future.

    My punk band made a video for a battle of the bands contest

    Thank you! It gets VERY loud in our rehearsal studio. We all wear earasers musicians earplugs in the room and on gigs. They are clear and hard to see to the naked eye.

    14" vs 15" Hats.. Which do you prefer?

    I have a couple pair of 15 hi hats and one pair of 14s. All Sabian. I love them all for different reasons but my most favorite is my 15 inch AAX-celerators. They sit in the mix perfectly but still cut through and have great presence.

    Does your band play with backing tracks? What's your opinion on them?

    I play in a rock band that uses zero tracks. I also play in a worship band at my church that uses the full deal. In ear monitors, tracks, click & cues. When I first started playing with tracks and click like over 10 years ago I hated it but I have grown to like it. Once you play songs to a...
