Wasn't sure if this fell more under "gear" or "technique" because it kinda has to deal with both, actually. So I put it here, but mods please move to proper forum if this isn't the place.
So in my quest to improve my weak hand coordination in both matched and traditional grip, I want something that I can keep time on with my left hand that isn't just the hats or a cowbell. Not that I have anything against cowbell, but it just doesn't really fit in with the sound that I'm going for. So I'm looking for suggestions on something to put to the left of the hats or above them that I can use to keep time with my left hand to allow it to take the lead role when I'm practicing.
I'm already going to move my ride from the right side of my kit to the left side where my 17" crash is and see how that works out. But, as is the case with many of us, I love new gear so if anybody has any suggestions feel free to throw them out there.
