I've been playing for about 6 years now and I've never really learnt any proper technique.
I've recently been re inspired with my drumming and I'd like to go back and do what I never did in the first place - actually practice and work on some fundamentals.
I play matched grip, my left is WEAK and I can't decide whether I like playing palms down or palms facing each other. I'm leaning towards palms down as my left tends to circles less when I'm playing fills if you know what I mean.
I'd like to work on building up my left hand, independence and I want speed and accuracy in my hands for when I need it. I'm also trying to work out where to place my arms - I tend to have them out in front of me as I stress and tense to play a fast roll but my gut is telling me they should hang by my side.
So..........where do I start?
