[Bede]

Hi all,

A couple of months ago I got myself an electronic kit, mesh head type, in order to teach myself to play the drums.

I've been playing bass for the last thirty odd years, so I felt I was halfway there already as part of the rhythm section, plus having listened carefully to what the drummer is doing.

Anyway, I've been chipping away at the rudiments and can now mostly do my double stroke rolls with confidence, if not always accuracy. Briefly looked at some of the more esoteric drag and flam based rudiments, but I can't seem to retain them between references to the book.

Anyway, I'm loving it and spend about an hour a day playing the kit and another 1/2 an hour practising rudiments on my remo practice pad.

Looking forward to browsing these forum (fora?) and picking up a few tips from you more experienced players.
