Nice playing! The hi-hat looks tilted a little bit towards you, what hi-hat stand is that? I only know Tama makes them.

[dave90mckeague]

@SimonBak90 its a mapex janus 2-legged stand. Works really well, although i'm wanting a dw 9000 to match my kick pedals!

What Ride are you using?

[dave90mckeague]

@inthebasement2112 hey there! the ride is my prototype 3-point ride. I got it from the vault tour 2009 at memphis drum shop. It was soon after released and put into production as Jack Dejohnettes new ride.

@dave90mckeague

[dave90mckeague]

[Ghostisbulletproof]

Two words. This flows.

@dave90mckeague Alright, thanks!

[dave90mckeague]

@KeirJames yeah i get lessons with the course i'm doing at uni. My teachers great, he's an old bop guy. He's really pushed my technique forward. the best way to improve and practise is simply to practise what you can't yet do! ie, concentrate on one lick/groove/exercise etc and play it 'till you can't get it wrong (not just 'till you get it right)

[KeirJames]

hey man, awesome drummin, have you got lessons in the past? and if not, how did you practice? infact, even if you did get lessons, how could i improve my playing? fills etc :) thanks
