guys..i heard that alesis dm5 and 6 have compatibility issue with double pedal..something about the pad only recognize the impact of the beater which is closer to the middle.. darn i was planning to buy this for a long time >.< does anyone know about this??

#1 I was once addicted to drums..and still actually..last time i used to practice everyday 10-11am,1-2pm,5-7pm and 9-10..n0w hardly g0t time since w0rking..0nce a m0nth >.<
#2 singles d0ubles paradiddies..f0r f0ot is slide technique
#3 gro0vy s0ngs..latin preferably

speakers mostly..prefer my ears to hear every ch0p i made f0r c0ntr0l purp0ses; accents, gh0st n0tes..h0wever if i'm practicing with a metr0n0me, then headph0ne'll be the better ch0ice

that's a moeller.. jojo explained it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoefgWF511s at 0:35

so i been doing a moller without realise it? i always watch the teknik video and try copy the moller stoke but cant do it cos feel weird..

lol..moeller is a natural technique most drummer will do when they reach their max speed..it's natural when u feel the tension in your fingers controlling the sticks to bound fast, you move the control from fingers to wrist^^ Jim Chapin broke down the steps so that we could apply it to 3 or 4 strokes ^^

it's a cymbal mallets..here's the pricing: cymbal mallets price

do you prefer music school or personal trainer?

Gavin Harrison clinic is tomorrow! who's going?^^

i l0ve that qu0te...hahaha

mine is my first and reigning champion: tama imperialstar..wahaha

try this:

or if you want DIY, take 2 pieces of tissue, fold them nicely, and tape them on the snare using a black tape.. it works for me

have y0u tried tuning the b0tt0m head t0 be way tighter than the batter?^^ i tuned my b0tt0m snare head all the way up..nv had a pr0blem^^

had the same problem with u. what i did was get a pillow, sit in front of laptop, go to http://metronomer.com/, n start hitting. i did that while watching movie, playing dota (when died, obviously), surfing, or to simplify during any break i can get between activities

i was in ur shoes once i knew about the tips of using pillow to practice, but never did it seriously. until i discover most of the songs i listen to are very fast and i can't catch up. so i started practicing rudiments, at that time double stroke is my weakness. hit on everything i can lay my fingers on. even on the steering wheel when driving. my target is to get use to double stroke and now double stroke is not a problem anymore. i proceed to paradiddle. and still doing the same exercise not a pro tip. but it works for me

if u tune it right, the piak piak sound can be very nice lol. neway, i use muffle rings and tapes. neva tried moongel before the best answer would be depending on what sound u want

don't put pillow in snare. normally use pillow in bass drum. neway back in the days where i got no money, i D.I.Y bought masking tape, fold a few tissues into square shape, stick it on the tape, then stick the tape on the snare (offset to the middle). did it both top and bottom skin. I dun like taping all the way across the skin. looks too messy.

yup can. but need to stick more tapes to get a tight muffle sound. and like i said, i dun like my snare skin looks messy. if u are ok with it, just do it then
