    Grip and Hand Strength

    For sure just work up your grip. Do pull ups and dead lifts. If you are looking for something you can buy grippers called "captain of crush" these things are awesome. Dyna-flex are great as well. They make you put a lot of pump into your forearms forcing you to hold onto the object while it is...

    Malt whisky drinkers?

    It sucks having a taste for this because going out and buying a glass just gets to damn expensive. Good call on the Laphroig I have enjoyed two of the quarter cask bottles. I poured a glass for a buddy and he could not take it. Which is my philosophy; like something no one else likes that way...

    I Never Stretch Before Running...

    I would say it depends on how you are running. If you are doing 100 meter dashes then yeah warm up stretch do whatever to get loose, but if you are doing distance I would run a mile slow then work up to whatever pace you are looking to keep. Running itself is a good warm up. Get yourself a foam...

    Help me make my drummer blast!!!

    this may help as well. Tell him to play sixteenth notes with his hands. then tell him to play the bass. the bass hit should match up with the hand that he is riding on or hitting the hi hat with. basically his foot will be doing eighth notes. start off slow then work up to meltdown speed.

    Help me make my drummer blast!!!

    I found that when I am playing on 2 and 4 on the snare for up tempo songs that keeping that back beat going at fast speeds is hard to sustain for awhile. Think really fast punk beat. Once I reached the threshold for max speed naturally the blast seems to come out. I would say push the tempo of...

    Broken Iron Cobra...Can I fix it?

    Go to this link http://www.tamadrum.co.jp/world/parts/hardware/page/HP900PSWNRSWNFSWN.html. The part I think you are looking for is 4-2 (Vari-Pitch beater holder outer casting w/screws). If they can't help you order a part or help fix it, most likely you will have to get a new pedal. Just looked...

    Fix a Cracked China???

    I would do a few things get another cheap '17 crash and mount on top of the china see what that sounds like. If that is not a option do not lace into that china too much as this could cause the crack to spread. Most cracks that are concentric would be do to workmanship like MTECH said. Also...

    Double Bass questions, on technique and setup

    Your thigh may be hurting because of sit height. This is going to sound like a weird suggestion,but if you have a gym membership there is a machine that most gyms have. Not sure what it is actually called, But I call it the slut machine. It is the machine that you sit in and there are pads that...

    The Official MMA Thread

    Cormier was awesome. Doesn't he train with AKA? I think Barrnett and Cormier will cancel each others wrestling out. It will be a slug fest between these two. Going with Page on this. He's got an good record, I think Page's power will stop flying spinning whatever. But speed kills and Jones has...

    "Simple" Tenor/Timpani/Taiko Drum Scores

    that is pretty demanding stuff that guy is playing on quads. If you have not been playing long and if you have check out Quad logic by the dude in your video. It has varying degrees of hardest in that book. I think he has a spock drum so take that in mind if you are just playing on quads.

    The "Controversial" Metal drummer thread

    Brann Dailor and Danny Carey. Here is something cool instead of being totally metal they use a groove oriented drummer. Billy Cobham and Tony Williams are also super sick, not really metal drummer though.
