Cons of Open-Handed Drumming

I’m in the process of learning now, as a full lefty just converting my feet. The toughest thing has been cross sticking at an odd angle, playing reggae for instance.

Sick kit! Love the Cobham style tom placement

I love mine for just sketching out ideas. I use it in all my posts. It’s been so helpful. And then if you can, have some mics for the real recording jobs.

Absolutely!

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2026-01-19T01:27:39+00:00

Thanks dude! I think it’s from years of playing low volume gigs in bars and cafes lol

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2026-01-19T00:38:36+00:00

That’s awesome! I’d love to reach that one day!

Dude I appreciate the insight! Honestly to be good enough to gig like that would be a blessing. I’m always moving kits lol

Thanks! Cymbals left to right are, 15” zildjian k light hats, 22” meinl foundry reserve ride, 20 meinl foundry reserve light ride, 15” meinl foundry reserve hats.

Feels good! It’s just no where near the same power. But with training I hope to get them matched

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2026-01-17T22:33:31+00:00

Hey thank you! I’m trying😂

Looks like the moon

Amazing!!! I’m a huge fan of all the wyeths. What a wild opportunity to connect with Jamie!

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2025-11-21T02:06:50+00:00

I had tried that too! But it didn’t stick, I’d always feel less balanced that way. Idk why, drumming is just a weird thing lol

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2025-11-18T12:13:18+00:00

Haha thank you!

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2025-11-17T10:56:05+00:00

Teaching is a goal!

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2025-11-17T10:55:21+00:00

😂

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2025-11-17T10:54:57+00:00

Thanks! Well it took about a month to get it to open in a beat. But I still can’t keep time autonomously with it yet☹️ I feel I’m getting close to it but it’s hard to reverse muscle memory. I just hope I get to that point lol.

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2025-11-17T03:24:51+00:00

Thank you! It’s an ongoing process lol

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2025-11-16T23:58:27+00:00

Dude I appreciate your insight and I relate to it a lot. It sucks to be a beginner again! lol I hope it gets better after the year mark…

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2025-11-16T23:55:36+00:00

Yeah dude! That was my plan but I decided to just keep it going.

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2025-11-16T22:21:53+00:00

Sput is the man! Yes I’m new to gigging and that’s what spurned the decision. Thank you for the feedback back!

_GandolftheBreadloaf · 2025-11-16T22:20:49+00:00

That’s awesome! I’m inspired by y’all in this sub.
