I figured I really need to be working on getting in touch with the feel and playing with consistency. I've been reworking on most of my grooves, trying to play with a better feel and touch. Such as the mozambique, it's one thing to play the mozambique on toms and the cowbell, but it's another to make it groove like Gadd.
Also, after playing on the loose pedal at the studio, I realised I need to loosen my pedal a little as I've been relying too much on the spring action for my diddles and constant 16ths on the bass drum. The bass drum can either make or break the groove too, as I've learnt.
One person on this forums who I want to see rip out on the drumset would be Funkifized. He sure sounds like a killer drummer with the solid Rosanna shuffle, blushda and gadd licks. :lol:
And he also has to re-evaluate my trad grip and teach me some good ol' finger on stick action. :lol:
