after watching
www.youtube.com i must admit there are some very skillful drummers. however, i am becoming increasingly aggrevated with the lack of a pocket/or establishing of the groove. Tip # 1, speed isn't everything! yes speed is nice but if u're timing is off it doesn't benefit u at all. Tip #2, stop rolling/doing drum fills every second of the song. this is so tacky! let the song breathe please i know u want 2 showcase u're skills but there is a time and place for everthing. Tip #3, learn dynamics. a drummer must always know when to play softly and when to open it up especially in gospel music.
there are many other tips to tell, but for the sake of writing, i'll stop here. I hope this blesses some1.
p.s. please don't take this as an attack on some1 because it IS NOT. this is only meant to share wisdom with younger and inexperienced drummers.
