| I've practiced on a pillow as well with some good results. The only problem with it is that you don't get any sound out of it and it's hard to tell what you are playing. Also, you aren't able to work on dynamics and things like buzz rolls where you actually need the bounce of the snare drum head.
I would recommend playing on a pillow only when you are working on some simple things and trying to improve your wrist muscles or something. Otherwise, I think it's best to practice on real drums or at least drum pads. |
