@MegoPregoUnicorn doesnt that contradicts what you are tryings to say? cause when you are drumming..you are really just "wacking it" but of course it depends on your style of playing.

Hi Dr. Joy. I haven't checked out your channel in a while. I hope you are doing well.
I just wanted to ask you what your opinion of the new Ludwig P4 Practice Pad is. Have you had a chance to either watch a demo video or possibly try it out yourself? I just became aware of it myself. It would work perfectly on a pad exercise like the one you're teaching in this lesson. The reason I'm asking is I'm looking for a practice pad. The Ludwig one sounds like the best out there.

My boys want to play drums, so I bought them each a drum pad with 5a sticks. Your vid really will help them getting started. We are concerned about neighbors, too, so we want to get electric drums but don't have a lot of money. I want to get the kind where you can silence the cymbols after striking. I really don't want to spend over 1.000. I saw a roland for 899 with a monitor, but don't know if the cymbols can be snuffed or if it really matters.

I got the same pad!!!!!!!!

bad rudiments, very bad lol
try to keep your sticks at most three inches off the pad, so it doesnt look like you're just wacking it :l

Why? My practice pad is meant for hitting! That's why I got it! Learning to really control the sticks means you have to get used to the full range of motion of them. Limiting them to only 3 inches is one of the quickest ways to carpel tunnel! If I am using dynamics then sure, the height of the sticks is very important, other than that, it isn't.

You don't have to have one. I didn't for ages. The beauty of a practice pad is that you can put it pretty much anywhere and use it! The stand I use in the videos is a regular Mapex snare drum stand.

my instructor won't let me use anything else but the traditional grip :(

That doesn't make sense to me?! Why? What's their reasoning???? You should be able to learn whichever way you want. Traditional grip isn't really needed on todays drum set....
