Hey Guys! The sticks I am using are Vater Recording models. They are the SAME thing as a Vic Firth Weckl Stick minus the red dye: ) As for the grip question, I do hold my sticks a little far out (Ala Gregg Bissonette) I always tell my students, "Once you learn the rules, then you can break them." Thanks
nice, thanks for this tutorial. im trying to learn but its going to be hard because i dont hve any sense of rhythm and i cant coordinate my limbs. but i will try, still :)
Thats funny as hell dude, good chops. I can actually here your drums and they are tuned correctly. Listen up all you wannabe hacks who duct tape all you heads and use muffles
lol whoever duct tape their stuff usually has a pitch of high and they want to tune it down fast and its just pathetic eh? is caleed a tuning keyyy and get a non cheaap drum set like Pearl edition blue or cobalt
Its not easy being green...
