Now here’s a real knee slapper!
Apr 14th
Well its more like a knee smasher. I don’t know about you, but lately when I’m just messing around and playing, I occasionally hit my knees. I’ll just be playing and then all of the sudden I’ll glance away from the kit, and my drumstick will come crashing down on my knee. IT HURTS! I mean it goes away pretty quickly, normally after a few minutes, but it really hurts. So it just goes to show you that you should always pay attention to what your doing.
The Roc-N-Soc (with funny descriptions…alex…)

The Roc-N-Soc Nitro Throne is unbeatable!
I don’t think that I have ever sat on a throne more comfortable than the Roc-N-Soc nitro throne. I will be purchasing this throne in the near future when my budget allows me too, because this thing is amazing. It’s almost like sitting on a cloud, but a cloud that just fits your butt perfectly. It seriously feels like its not even there and your just floating in mid air. But it doesn’t stop there! There are even more amzing advantages to this throne! More >

Rudiments
Apr 7th
Rudiments, as everyone probably knows, are the fundementals of drumming. Every drummer should be able to learn and memorize all of the 40 standard rudiments picked by the Percussive Arts Society which can be see here: http://www.vmea.org/stef/forms/rudiments.pdf. However in addition to these 40 there are also many hybrid rudiments. They are really just variations of the original 40 and a few of them can be seen here: http://www.gmajna.net/svojat/strudel/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/128hybridrudimentbook.pdf. These are all very helpful rudiments that should also be added to your daily practice routine. I like to add a few of these to my practice everyday all with the 40 rudiments, and it really helps. Hope this was helpful.
