Novice drummer here, been taking lessons for about a year. My teacher is always pointing me out that I have a very light touch. He says that's kind of unusual and insists that I should try to hit harder. I tried to follow his advice but ,no matter what, I always revert to 'light touch mode'.
I can see light touch being a problem if you want to play heavy rock style, but that's not my case: most of my musical interests do not require that kind of heavy hitting.
Bottom line is, I like the way it sounds and feel comfortable doing it. My question is: What are the pros and cons of 'having a light touch'? Is it a curse or a blessing?
Cheers!
