using the bongo might not be a bad idea, it will give good stick rebound like a snare would, Rudiments are good to know, they seem worthless at first but make sense when you apply it to the entire kit, when you get the basic idea of what your doing try and lead with your weaker hand from time to time too.

a basic rudiment is L= left hand R=right hand

R-L-R-R-L-R-L-L

just repeat this pattern until you can do it so fast it sounds like a blur, it will take a very long time to go fast at first but it will come together will practice.
invision Reviewed by invision on . i love to play drums when im baked i had a passion to play guitar when i was high, i would come up with some of the coolest idea's and enjoyed it very much, the last 6 months i got back into drumming and just tear it up when im baked, ill be sweating my ass off and just keep going sometimes for hours pounding away. sometimes ill wake up at 7am on the weekends and do a wake and bake, go down the basement wearing nothing but my boxers and start blasting away :jointsmile: Rating: 5
