I really love your videos and have learnt heaps but I am still having trouble seperating my feet and my hands. Do you have any exercises that I can practice to seperate them.

Thanks.

Time and practice. What worked for me was just practicing lots of different beats. I started with the normal beats and practiced them from slow to moderately fast. I bought books of beats so that I had lots to practice to minimize boredom. Once that right hand could do straight eight, shuffle and swing on auto pilot I moved on to fusion beats.

I've also heard good things about Gary Chester's New Breed book. I'll buy a copy and check it out and maybe do a lesson based on it.

any recomendetion for full double bass electronic drum sets?

[ScoopDeville04]

I just use a double-bass pedal on mine. It wasn't really designed for it but it works. The Roland V Drum kick trigger has an extra input jack. This allows you to buy two triggers and put a single bass pedal on each and chain them together into one input on the brain. I prefer to practice with my double bass pedal because that is what I use on my acoustic kit.

I play guitar, but I have recently purchased Rockband and started messing around with the drum kit. I didn't know where to start but you have really helped me. Thanks.

[ScoopDeville04]

Wow this thread won't die. I've never played Rockband but if the kit lets you practice limb independence and use all four limbs then IMO it will help your drumming and sounds like a great low cost first kit.

hey could someone help me to master this beat at 1:10

[sadbloke87]

I REALLY wish you were using an acoustic set

[cragz]

hey, i love your videos, but what is the drum kit your using called?

[bille1131]

If you put an O'Ring on each drum they will sound a lot better. They take the ring out of the drum. They are just a plastic ring. Great video's and enjoying them, getting me back into playing again. Thanks.
