I often put a dish towel over my real feel to take the "artificial" rubber rebound out of the equation. How much you need to double it up is easily determined by letting the stick rebound on your snare drum by just dropping it, and trying to match that with the pad & towel. I double mi...

Major congratulations! I have no cool picture to post. You, win! Me, fail.

Didn't see it. So, consider this my apology for apologizing. Almost 10 pages!

At second glance, he did not drop a beat. He was dead on on the fill. I apologize for the dropping the beat comment that I had previously stated. He is a mutant, with sick abilities. I should go practice.

I know it's the go to for everyone, but A Love Supreme is just ridiculous.

We have to compare everyone t...

Randy, my thoughts are with you.

Yes, he dropped a beat in the beginning, but that's acceptable in a live context. I get off on seeing that type of stuff. How the players react and r...

Groove and how you (YOU) do it is the same as the way that you speak. I'd like to be able to articulate as well as Hitchens, but that just will not happen. I've recently come to the mindset that I'll never be able to truly cop someone's grooves or licks, because I'm ME, not them. The reason anyone d...

the guy gets decimated in a straight up trade, the Buddy Rich Memorial is a very explicit example. I gotta disagree with that notion. I don't think that he was decimated AT ALL in the trading with Weckl & Vinnie. He played some badass shit (and yes, one or two of his offerings were kinda just, m...
