This thread is more about participation and learning things about each other than it is a fact finding thread. Like I said, I can keep a list of all the questions asked on the first post but I hold the same thread in other forums and it's never been a problem before. It's just about having fun! There are plenty of quality threads where people can find more specific answers or ask a specific question for more direct answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally "get" what you mean by participation, and having it be a fun thing. If a question is really earth-shaking and gets a huge amount of attention, any admin or moderator can move just that question with its answers without much difficulty to a separate thread. You can PM Dendy and me if this needs to happen, and one of us can do it.Anyway, there WAS a question for today...how big is your kick drum? And my answer is...about 50 micros by 50 microns, because it's sitting in a piece of silicon However, the DTX kick drum trigger that actually triggers it is about 15" in diameter.BTW I'm not a drummer but my father was (a damn good one, too) so I was "raised with rhythm." A lot of people think the drum parts I program are pretty realistic, and that's 100% because of my Dad, and knowing a lot of good drummers. I may not have the best motor skills in the world when it comes to drumming, but I know where the beats should fall...well, not as well as you guys I'm sure, but not bad for a guitar player...

Members kindbeats Posted March 2, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 Today's Question: What is the last thing you've worked on on the drums? Hmm...I was writing a groove that's 3 against 2 between the right hand and left foot, with the kick and snare in a 2/4 kind of feel. By the way guys, I USUALLY post the questions around 12pm EST.

Members 1001gear Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 same thing. Bringing my right hand into left hand spec. Rolls and everything get cleaner that way. Been at this for some time now. I'm starting to bring the left hand toward some of the right hand attributes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kmart Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 Technique? Ummm...s'been way too long for me to say. But generically 'working on'? In the next 24 days, I'm subbing 3 gigs for 3 different bands (same key player in each, but all different music) in addition to gigs with my own bands... I've been working on getting the songs down for the sub-gigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vinniewannabe Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm going through Mike Johnson's book Linear Drumming...going through the ALL the excercises religiously. I am also working on "the ladder". I'm not sure if I'll ever get it up to speed.....it's tough for me right now. I guess that's why I'm practicing it, huh?

Members race81 Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 I work on the same thing over and over its called LEFT HAND STUPID................Until I can get my left hand to do what my right hand can all the rest is just useless.

Members jenksdrummer Posted March 2, 2011 Members Share Posted March 2, 2011 Performing my last gig with a pretty good buzz, and having musicians in attendance come up and do some songs that we'd never played as a group before for a end of night jam-a-thon. We stopped playing at 1:30AM like we should have - just no one wanted us to stop...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
