Right on man, it is really good to really focus on time and making sound. I love it too. My kids are in that add/adhd thing too. I probably would have been too if there was such a thing back then. Let those rhythms pull you through the tough times, just put your mind on them and let it ride

---Women.:cool::ROFLMAO:

Seriously: I always wanted a bigger and sound-proof space for practicing. I live in a small flat and I am happy with my daily routines on a Roland TD1-DMK...but a dedicated room with my Gretsch Catalina properly miked for recording....would be a blast!!!(y)(y)
 
A weakness of many drummers... from my interview with Michael McDermott, drummer for Joan Jett and the Blackhearts: You see it with the drum videos (some people) do. You're like, "How many times did you practice this song before you decided to record it? Sometimes you've got to practice it a couple more times."

But everybody's for the right now. Just slow down. It's not about how fast you can get that video out and uploaded and how many hits it gets. Learn the song. Love it. Really get into the tune and feel it. You can see when somebody is earnest about what they're doing.

This exercise.
I practice it for weeks I get the first two bars but I can’t alternate between them and third bar isn’t working at all. The difficulty is using the Slide Technique for Bass Drum and sync it with the left hand (yup I’m a lefty).

Lefty is a beautiful thing. My late husband was left-handed and he was a multi-talented musician. He played the drums, keys and guitar. Lefties are very gifted and talented people.
 
I think for me currently........

1) Having a good flow across the kit

2) six stroke rolls and their orchestration

3) getting really feathery consistent ghost notes

4) avoiding vanilla slice from the local bakery

Thank you! Well, I just play drums and I find I’m playing quite ok but if I’m really good or not isn’t something I can tell myself.

Dear @Lee Mangano ,

Thank you so much for your interest in my playing!

I actually have hundreds of links, a few dozen visible in Youtube only. At the page, there are some but, they are more gather to specifics, so I prefere, you watch some of this, probably it would be enough to get an idea:

I start with the previous, because it´s the shortest:

1 - Jazz Medium Up (8´s on "Confirmation")
2 - Jazz Up (12´s and 4´s on Uptempo Blues)
3 - Jazz Medium Slow (4´s in "If I should Loose You")
4 - Jazz Medium 2005 (8´s on "Minority")
5 - Jazz Medium 1995 (8´s on tune based on "...")


6 - IF YOU WANT TO SEE SOME STUDENTS OF MINE HERE ARE 9:

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

I also have stuff on reading snare, rudiments, funk, latin, many other styes, etc. but little filmography because I don´t normally perform live those, maybe a song in the whole concert.
