practice pad !?

[alvinthedrummer]

awesome advise blurred....elvin jones always encouraged practicing on different surfaces....gets your hands flexible enough to react to different tension

 

[blurred]

well thank uuuuuu, i do have some gems in my pants 8O .

oh hey alvin i just bought a pair of shoes to practice in. tht one brought the house down for me at the last meet up lah.

 

[alvinthedrummer]

awesome....you'll realise that you'll have more power but at the same time more sluggish becos now you can't feel the pedal as much!....so hang in there....persist on...

thanks marcdadrummer and guys!

where is DRMP at?

may i ask around how much does the bass drum pad cost?

Are there any rubber hi hats which i can buy and attach to a normal hi-hat stand?

sorry for so many questions..

 

[marcdadrummer]

hey alvin which shoes do u recommend playing at home??? thinking of getting one bata school shoe hahhaha... i really hate the IC pedalboard with all those metal plating sticking out making it painful to slide around the pedal.

 

[metzalx]

i reckon if u got the cash, get a pad thts soft and one thts hard. and practice on both surfaces. the soft one with get ur wrist muscles into shape and tha hard one will teach u to control ur bounce

HQ Realfeel does the job. The hard surface is made of neoprene...Not very expensive. I use Yamaha card and bought the 12-inch one for around $45...

speaking of which i was wondering anyone here can do double strokes on pillows?
i salute you

 

[alvinthedrummer]

I love my adidas superstars and samoas....but any shoe with flat soles will do....

 

[blurred]

yah cool man. i need to get a pad as well.

i use to practice on ur knees on the bus and oh a ahard x pad, and on a real snare to get the sound right.

 

[DullTheater]

yo marc, u know wat shoes will be nice to practice on?
and flat sole but heavy weighted.....

but playing wise, the shoe that can make you feel like there's no shoe at all....
the ah peks' tai chi shoe...
the best!

I have a bass pracitice pad which I got as a gift. They have one at Ranking, But don't get that one, it's not worth the money. I would recommend a Pearl bass practice pad if you have the money, and Iron Cobras. I have 3 practice pads and one bass practice pad. This allows me to practice my beats as well. I strongly recommend E-Pads. =)

 

[caijunlong]

Yeah, make sense. Different surface different rebound.

emman91, I can do double strokes on pillows.. 30bpm.. haha

 

[emman91]
