Whats up man. Watching you for me is like looking into a mirror. My left arm is exactly like your arm. I have played drums all my life and play a lot of jazz/funk as well. In order for me to hold the stick I have always used tennis elbow supports. I hope to put a video up of myself as well soon. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks! I can't wait to see your video! Let me know when you post!

Great!! I'm also a one-armed drummer, but I have no arm at all to attach the stick to....just my left one. I think you should check out Handidrummed and talk to Rob about adding your story to his site! Disabled drummers unite! :)

Rock on!!

Dude...You are an inspiration to many people u should be proud I have a friend who has one arm he can play bass guitar but that is amazing

[chrisxtremes]

that makes me more energetic to learn my drum properly though I just started playing a while a go. This is very inspirational that people are try their very best to play what they love even though they might encounter difficulties like the person in the video. good luck for your future. God bless

Thanks for this video. I saw this video a long time ago and implemented your idea using ace wrap. it works alright. I'm experimenting with burn wrap now, and i think this is going to work better

[phreezerburne]

as a drummer myself ive always feared losing an arm or led youve helped me in knowin that if the worst happens theres a chance

[FOOSAG]

Wow! I also don't have a left hand. I just have a stump like yours but it is a little longer. You inspire many! God bless!
