Well I got my homeboy teaching me how to make my left hand stronger. Carlito knows my homeboy Ben Ross. Anyway, dude has me practicing grooves and every 4 measures I switch hands on the hi hat. So I will do for measures with my left hand on hi hat, then switch to right, and back again. My left arm was killing me after so it's a clear sign that I don't use it that much and my technique sucks in the left.

...I feel you on that.  When I was taking lessons with my old teacher I went through the same thing.  We did 30mins. just on the left hand one day and my forearm went numb and my stick kept slipping out and dropping.  My old teacher has a DCI background and he would get flashbacks of his Drum Corps. days with me....scary. LOL

...by the way, you have to see j_kay and Carlito's stick work.  :o
