Thanks for the compliment. I'm very happy with the Ludwig Breakbeats kit most of the time. Eventually though I would like a second kit set up for contemporary music. For acoustic jazz I like thin, unmuffled heads. But for rock, pop, etc., I really prefer thick heads - remo pinstripes, emad bass head etc. I have found that even when you muffle thin heads it's not the same sound as those heads that are designed for rock. So that's on my wish list. 😀
Before I watch this I'll comment. I've been learning for about 1 year now. Some times I get a good amount of playing time in and sometimes I go weeks without playing. Somedays I absolutely love playing the drums and somedays I think I'm terrible and want to quit. It's like a roller-coaster ride haha. I'll learn something new and I'll be jamming out having fun. Then 3 days later I can't remember how to play anything. It's frustrating! I'm sure everyone goes through this tho. One thing I know is I need to work on where I'm at in a song. Let's say I have a simple drum beat for 7 bars and want to add a fill on the 8th I have a hard time counting those bars. Then when I do I completely fall apart on the fill.
Thanks for your feedback. Be patient. It takes time and persistence. Keep reviewing the things you have already learned. Eventually they will become a part of you and you won't have to keep reviewing them. Your comments and struggles gave me some ideas for more videos so I really appreciate you sharing. Others struggle with the same issues.
kick sounds great. Nice video

Thanks a lot Brad. A simple plan for practice time and some fun groove ideas are very helpful to my drumming goals.

Exercising mental resilience is just as important as your rudiments and timing
