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])?
use the power glove
Drumline is for pussies who don't know how to drum.
I dunno, watch the movie. baddood;

You're a lightweight.
Drumline at my school is hardcore.
And that's why we're bad mofos.
Or well my former sckewl.

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 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=27jV70BJQFU) isn't awesome.
Also, drumline helps you be a better set player.

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

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.

I never said I was good. Stop putting words in my mouth.
Now, "Drumline is for pussies who can't drum." My friend Danny, who has been doing drumline for four years, can rape you at any kind of percussion, even if he stopped right now, and you got a lifetime of practice. But he's obviously a pussy.

By "rape" I assume you mean "go doom-diddle-diddle-flam-o and then cry himself to sleep because he sucks so much". Keep on jerking your e-penis.

Dude. If only you knew.
He's amazing at set (can play the likes of Neil Peart, Keith Moon, and others), can play orchestral percussion (four mallet marimbas, and regular "drums"), and can play Snare, Quads, Bass, and Cymbals.
If you want to continue being a dipshit, go ahead; but don't try to argue with "suxxorsz LOL diddle flam suck."
