Yah, listen to floating jet and lower our cymbals. Especially hats. Also adjust your snare so you aren't rim shot-ing accidentally. Angle it towards you a bit.

@MrCjfern Play on the heads (tips) of the sticks, not on the necks. I've been playing for nearly three years now, and only broken three sticks (as in one stick of a pair three times). To easily do this, lower your cymbals and you hi-hat, like so: watch?v=wvBRTHxsXCw

Anyone got any tips how to stop my drum sticks from chipping. I get them off my drum teahcer, is it because they're bad quality. I play light and they stil chip and they break so easily, you see the rock drumemrs and theres chip alot less oftern. Please help.
