By means do you have like one tom, a snare , a floor tom and a bass drum? Cause that is considered 4 piece kit. Unless you have 2 rack toms instead of 1 then that is 5 piece. Mine is 7 piece, 5 toms (3 rack toms and 2 floor toms), a snare and bass drum.

Usually there are 2 ways to play todays style of jazz. Either with more swing or just typical smooth jazz straight. Can't really send a link here since i'm on post probation but will PM some stuff to you.

I am curious to know, do you as a drummer count the 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & when you play? Or you have mastered it so well that you can time it without counting?

To me, counting takes the enjoyment out of drumming and enjoying the music. Or is it just me?

Found this CNY present! Just what I need.

The only time I count is 3,4 at the beginning of some songs. The rest is thru 'feel'.

Thanks.

Mind clarifying what is meant by 3 4 at the beginning? Count 3 4 and off you go?

Yeah. Counting in.

Thanks.

Good insight for beginners in the drumming journey.

Help! Help!

Bought REMO tone control o ring 10 12 14 16 inches.

The 16 inch ring is slightly bigger than my 16 inch tom with part of the ring bulging up 1 cm from the surface when the ring is placed on the head.

Used 4 gels to stick the ring to the head but one part is bulging up.

Tempted to cut the ring, adjust it so that it sits fully flat on the head.

Appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Trying to imitate this kid. Too fast for me, me being a beginner. Anyone can help with the main tom tabs? No need for 100% copy. Thanks.

P/S That song is 10,000 armies. See this video. Enjoy!

i have problem to find the ONE

Appreciate tips on getting a drum throne (mid-range).

The one I got is very basic, height adjustment is very limited.

Tempted to get one with a backrest but too costly. Ha.

Thanks.
