Hey guys,
Is having a groove something that can be practised, or is it something that you just have.. Michael Schumacher is an outstanding F1 racer, statistically the 'best' there ever has been, Ayton Senna though, was the greatest F1 driver..he had that 'something'
I'm Missing that something from my drumming, I tend to find that my drumming is fairly steady and reliable but doesn't set the world alight. When I get home from a gig my fiancé asks how the gig went, it's replied with the standard 'Yeh I played alright...the odd fluff but nothing major'.
I can only use a pad at home for practice so it usually falls into rehearsal of various rudiments, so when not rehearsing with the band, how can I work on my groove? Fall asleep while listening to Billy Gene? lock myself in a room with only Buddy Rich CD's to listen to and only have Stanton Moore notation for sustenance?
When I play I always try and remember to pound the drummers into submission but to work with to get what I want...inevitably I get mentally tired my mind wandering off to think about what I'm going to eat when I get home.
Any advice?
