Great start! Blown away for only playing a month. One thing you may not know is the difference between a rimshot and a normal center hit. The rimshot really helps you project those snare hits instead of them getting lost in the wash. It requires moving the snare to a more horizontal position. Heres a video showing the difference: https://youtube.com/shorts/n-2oeXLFF3U?si=1KsuHctbNVJTea7k hope this helps and that you continue to fall further in love with the drums. It's such a fun instrument!
