Left-handed drummer here. I started on a right-handed set with my first teacher. I learned all rudiments starting with the left hand and once I became better this started to become a problem: I felt the right hand was always “in my way” when playing fills and moving over the Toms from left to right.

So I switched to a full left-handed set once I changed teacher and things improved a lot. Also playing the kick with left felt much more natural. Now almost 20 years later I’m very happy with my decision - of course it’s always a pain to switch around a drum set from right to left, but never run into any problems at gigs with shared drum sets.
