I've been playing for 12 years now and the first four or five years I couldn't stop dropping my sticks; I was 12 when I stopped dropping my sticks, now I'm 19, so theres no real strategy to not dropping your sticks, It happens to the best drummers in the world; At the last DFJ retreat in Dallas, My favorite drummer, Marvin Mcquitty dropped his stick in the middle of a fill 8O , but it didn't take anything away from his talent! It happens to the best of us,
One day, I know I'll probably drop my sticks,
who knows!!!!! :roll:
