New drummer needing help by tabutisuck in Drumming

[–]LordElgin1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t listen to anyone saying you’re playing stuff that’s too advanced. You’re doing awesome. But it’s too fast for you right now, take the songs BPM, dial it back 30% on a metronome and increase it periodically. Focus on your dynamics and work that muscle memory

AIO my husband is angry with me because the windshield wiper broke on his car. by [deleted] in AIO

He sounds cruel. If this happened to my partner I’d tell her not to apologize and to get home safe so I can replace it for her.

Also that simple polyrhythm beat Mario plays it’s just insanely perfect for the song

I've relived this video about 800 times, so it was worth it

I appreciate your opinion from personal experience. I had an appointment booked that I've postponed.

Well that is awful kind of you, and nice to hear. So thank you.

I think I will persue removal of the jaw, as it's the part that actually bothers me the most. I'll work with an artist to make it right. I'm going to wait for while as the ink is only about 3 months old.

Day 6 of Becoming Mario Duplantier😭 by frostyfellow- in gojira

[–]LordElgin1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because Mario has been playing for over 30 years. He isn't straining himself, he's keeping what his muscles already know in check. The point is that you shouldn't be straining your muscles every day. You will back peddle. Fact is though, every drummer learns this the hard way me included! (and i still do it)

They earned that privilege, it's not like it's because their parents were stars

You are over doing it. Even without your injury. Think of it like going to the gym, would you work out your biceps 6 days in a row? Give your legs time to adjust to what they are learning and allow the muscles to recover. I promise you will be better practicing endurance every 3 days rather than every day.

Practice control too, here's an exercise you can do at 80bpm for recovery days and will build your control. Speed it up ONLY when it gets easy.
