RE: Monday Drum Day: First gig!

in Drumminglast year

Apparently these are made of the same material as riot shields, so they should take a beating. I've not broken any sticks yet, but then I am not playing on drums with hard metal rims. My Roland kit has plastic rims that do respond to hits, but my sticks are not even dented.

Ah, okay. That makes sense. The real question is can you spin them between your fingers yet? Riot shields! Sounds like a challenge to me!

I'll have to see if Drumeo has any twirling lessons :)

I've still got the skills. I can teach you!

That could be fun. You should do a video of your drumming for that community. Do you know all the rudiments?

I do need to learn more of the basic 'sticking'. I am considering finding a local teacher for face to face lessons, but I have plenty on Drumeo to work through.

I still remember enough to be dangerous. Some of the marching cadences we used for filler are forever stuck in my brain. I might do my first video post this week, but it isn't going to be anything with drumming.

Haha, that might be close. I actually kind of dig those Celtic drummers. The ones they carry in one hand and then the hit it with a paddle from their other hand.
