I’m sure this has been discussed but I thought I’d ask anyways for maybe some more specifics.
So I’m a heal up kind of gal and tend to bury the beater. (About two months beginner here) I know this sound isn’t ideal for all music types, so I was trying to consciously avoid this but kept bouncing extra kicks in there. I try and keep my foot in the center and put my heal down after. The most natural feel to me is heal up. Any tips on not keeping it on the drum? I will most likely play a lot of a rock but I don’t want this to limit my sound for other types of music I like too so I want to be able to do both, but I am having more control issues when I don’t. Probably because I haven’t practiced much this way. Plus I like the more muted sound for evening practice so I’ve practiced more this way from day 1.
Sometimes unconsciously I don’t keep it on the drum but I want to be intentiona.
I feel like that was a lot of words.
Uhhh bury the beater and how not to? Could the extra notes be due to my pedal and any adjustments I should make?
Opinions, tips welcome! Thank you! Hope everyone is doing well!!
