    Daft question about playing double pedals...

    Hi, After almost 30 years of playing drums without a double kick pedal, I'm having to use one for a specific job. I'm doing ok-ish with the playing and I'm working on doing hand rudiments with the feet to buildup strength. My question is; When you're playing and you've got you're foot on the...

    Marillion: Incubus - anyone know the sticking for this?

    Hi, I’ve been wondering how Ian Moseley plays the chorus part to Incubus since I first heard it in the early 90’s (the ‘oooo-wah’ bit). I can play the basic pattern including the double Tom/double kick at the end of the phrase but I can’t figure out the cymbal pattern. There’s some kind of...

    Drum triggers - best options?

    Pedal...I need to shorten my chain...maybe!

    Hi, I've been using a Premier pedal for nearly 20 years, it has a nylon strap. When I first got the pedal, I shortened the strap slightly (drilled a new hole) in order to raise the footplate slightly and bring the beater back a bit to give me more control/power. I've recently been given a...
