is it "that" easy (I mean the technique)

because i saw a lot of vid about grav blast but i dont get it.. when you hhit the 1st time you do it like a rimshot? I dont think so but ..

[creamer88]

when you do the downstroke you hit the head and the rim at the same time... yes you could call it a rimshot but of course you cant hit that hard. (but i give no guarantee!

"and after a while your arms just die =O"

yes thats right, i got the same problem!

[creamer88]

thanks for your advice!

well im pratctising this technique and it's getting better.

"did you drop the drumstick on purpose"

-no

it flew right out of my hand but in my oppinion i rescued the vid with a BADASS freestyle hand-drum-action :D :D :D :D

make the end of the stick more central, it needs to be even both sides

[nunobaiao]

you need to improve the grip.

Check out Martin Maurais @ ex Kataklysm. He's an expert of Gravity blast.

wie funktioniert das genau?.. ich habs probiert aber nicht auf die reihe gekriegt.

[elrockydelsiglo]

I can do it now but it isn´t too nice to play it when you are grooving or maybe in a fill

[creamer88]

thanks!

well i dont use it when i play... switching was one of my main problems!

[miercodas]
