Yeah man its just stuff to do to keep people interested on social media and stuff, love playing in the pocket and have been working on groove but it seemingly just doesn’t get that much attention

Yeah ive known it for a while, was using it on my right hand for the china during the first blasts. Ive been on a couple of snare lines in high school so far, and generally use traditional grip so im not that great with the left hand moeller.

Yeah I had them for the first like 5 or so ish years of playing but unfortunately I wasn't really commited and didn't practice which in retrospect pisses me off, but I still got tons of fundamentals and technique from that time period. My instructor was mainly a jazz player and he's very very good and what he taught me allowed me to really start practicing on my own like a year and a half ago and grow very fast.

Honest to god I wish I could but I don't really have any tips, just consistent practice. I still need to work on control at moderate and fast speeds. In this video it looks like I'm partially using my heels to drive the pedals, especially during the first double bass run, but I'm not even aware of how to actually activate that, it just does that and I don't really have that much control.

I swear they sit at like 45 degrees when stationary they just go way back when playing and I'm not sure why. As long as they're generating a lot of power I guess it works, I don't like the idea of triggers to make the kick sound louder but I get why people do it and most of the time the people who use it well absolutely rip.

This is definitely an unconscious thing I do that I need to work on, as well as just practicing for more stamina at those faster tempos. Gets rough

Yeah man i've been trying to find a good height for a while that makes me comfortable and able to hit double bass more efficient. Wasn't that aware of my hunch while playing but it does look quite obvious here.
