INSTALLMENT NINE:
This week, Thomas talks about how to practice overlapping singles, flams and unison strokes. Practice on pads first to gain accuracy and confidence with the exercise, then move to the drums. As Thomas suggests, play each exercise with your hands first until you are completely confident with it before moving to your feet.
A large shaft and oversized
tear drop tip speak loudly and clearly. Designed to
produce a thunderous sound on the drums! In hickory.
