Practice is necessary, but if your practicing bad habits, its not helping. From my perspective, one should get a good foundation, and practice using the foundation but using your expression, this is where the talent comes in. Just doing the black and white of it, is just rudimentary, robotic...

Yamaha 1981 8000 tour series, natural wood, 13,14,16,22, 14x6.5 chrome snare Paiste blue label 20” heavy ride, Paiste Sig 20” ride, Paiste 2002 18” crash, Paiste Sig 18 power crash, Paiste 2002 15” crash, Sabian 14” flat hats, Yamaha flying dragon double pedal.

Played the Speed King back in the early 70’s, was a good pedal but went to a Rogers Swivomatic to match my Rogers setup. The Swivomatic was so much nicer and faster, allowing for more power. The new pedal is exactly the same design and function. FYI they get squeeky after awhile.

Try Flitz metal polish its the best out there!

Remember it well! My eyes were glued on him! Great drumming and showmanship!

Used to watch him with baited eyes when in the Rascals! Admired his drumming! Not only a great drummer but a great showman! We lost another great!

Acoustic jazz 18 or 20 602 flat ride or 602 medium ride is my preference.

Use an auto detailer spray And micro fiber towel.

All my years of drumming, never have I bent a rim doing rim shots!

From my perspective I always went to the 22, excluding the rack height, the ability to tune low and better pedal rebound just keeps me staying with the 22.

Best is what works best for you! There is no best!

I use a mix of 2002’s crashes (15”, 18”) Signature ride 20” and power crash 18” along with 602 blue label 20” heavy ride! They all compliment each other on one kit! Paistes can be mixed giving great results.
