Drumline is a bitch.

[hotlikesauce.]

Damn dude. Drumline had me sweatin pretty bad yesterday. Jared (the instructor) was getting onto me about everything I was doing wrong.


I fixed most things. But this thread has a purpose.


Has anyone here done drumline before? If so, what can I do to use my wrists instead of my arm (on my left, right is fine) and keeping my taps down (going from stick height twelve to stick height three repeatably [accent-tap-accent-tap])?

Drumline is for pussies who don't know how to drum.

Fuck you.


Drumline is hard work. you couldn't do half shit we can.

I don't give it a shit. Maybe you can do ultra-mega-paradiddles, but it doesn't matter because all you do in drumline is play retarded crap at football games and wear silly silly uniforms.

You can't say this isn't awesome.


Also, drumline helps you be a better set player.

I fixed the link for you. And yes, I can.

It doesn't do anything for your feet.

No, you can't. You don't realize how much discipline it takes. I used to be like you 



Also, it does. Marking Time outside of the beat (like a double triple) is really hard. It helps you with Bass outside of the Snare and Hi-Hat.

Another thing it helps you with is being relaxed, and being efficient. I'm guessing you're one of those faggots who tries to single stroke everything.

I'm a classically trained musician, you miserable fuck. Don't try and paint me as a musical retard. Drums aren't even my main instrument; I've played classical guitar for seven years and jazz bass for three. I can double stroke, triple stroke, quadruple stroke, nonuple stroke, etc all over your ass. I don't do drumline because there's more tom drumming than pure discipline. In drumline, they just teach you how to play stright; I'm more interested in learning to establish a solid intra-band dynamic, which can involve the kind of rhythmic push-and-pull and swing that you can only get from jazz, soul, blues, and so on.

Summary: I'll beat your pansy ass, mullethead

Where do you think you can do those strokes better? Drumline. Where do you think that originated? Drumline. Who do you think does it best? Drumline.


Now, I'm not trying to insult your style, but saying drumline sucks is outrageous. You seem to think it can't help you do anything revolving around percussion. It can do way more than what you think. It's not all just playing "stright".


Now, if you take the taps, accents, flams, and such from drumline, and incorporate it into your snare, and your hi hat (and hell, even your toms), then you will get much more groove than just closing your mind to a few styles.


Summary: You don't know what you're talking about; and closing your mind to a select few styles isn't going to help you get better.  educate;

I already incorporate flams and accents into my drumming. You're just making assumptions.
