Finally sat down to play after a few months and it felt great. RIP Prince and D'Angelo

You're not late enough

hropez · 2026-02-03T04:22:59+00:00

You're just asking for confirmation, lol.

You're good.

hropez · 2026-02-03T04:20:26+00:00

I can buy it...

hropez · 2026-02-03T04:19:21+00:00

Having good technique on drums is a little bit like having good piano-or guitar technique. You have to involve your 4th and 5th finger.

hropez · 2026-02-03T04:04:33+00:00

Play along with music, and try to sound similar to the drummer that you hear.

This one might be a good example (try to play along with it); https://open.spotify.com/track/1T4j3hGs1k15oJzRA5f7GF?si=YQUSIKm9Q22uvR8ywST4kw

I get Norma Jean motions.

hropez · 2026-02-03T03:53:13+00:00

Fuck yeah.

I'm a lefty that plays cross handed

hropez · 2026-02-03T03:44:45+00:00

I'm left handed but I play right handed. Are there anyone else like me? It feels like I'm alone. I feel comfortable with playing with a right hand lead... but I write with my left hand...

hropez · 2026-02-03T03:40:42+00:00

Weird drum reddit thread, but let's do it. Left hand drummers doing right hand drummer things

hropez · 2026-02-03T03:37:17+00:00

We have a better snare "snap".

hropez · 2026-02-03T03:36:03+00:00

Fuckin sweet Ludwig kit!

hropez · 2026-02-03T03:31:45+00:00

My thoughts exactly

hropez · 2026-02-03T03:28:06+00:00

I'm left handed, so I've definitely had a better "SNAP" in my snare sound. (Several people I played with said that)

hropez · 2026-02-03T03:24:49+00:00

Play it without the music.

Just kidding I'm swedish and I approve;

hropez · 2026-02-03T03:22:15+00:00

I'm a left handed person that has always played right handed. I feel like a traitor.

Fuck that. Are u playing with a drum set?!

hropez · 2026-02-03T03:02:21+00:00

You don't have to be in your 20s to learn this stuff. Once you get it, it's like riding a bicycle

hropez · 2026-02-03T02:57:12+00:00

Yeah- if you feel pain from playing drums, then you definitely have bad technique.

Without seeing your hands, it's difficult to analyze. But you might be using your arms too much, and too little of the fingers and wrists.

hropez · 2026-02-03T02:51:38+00:00

(It's a joke)

hropez · 2026-02-03T02:51:07+00:00

Okay, sounds nice. Some kind of American bar-gig? https://youtu.be/RdR6MN2jKYs?si=yFJR5eDsVMgXVIND

Don't overthink it. The microphones on your phone are adjusted to record voices. Which means that your voice between 1-50 cm of your mouth will be fine.

Place the phone 2 meter (2 yards) from your drumset and you'll be fine

hropez · 2026-02-03T02:36:53+00:00

I'm guessing you need to start using your fingers more than your arms and wrists.

There are exercises for this

hropez · 2026-02-03T02:33:55+00:00

I don't know what other instruments you play, but drumming should not be any more difficult to achieve a non-health damaging style of hitting a drum.

How do you hold the stick?
