Re: Which E-Drums Produce Least Bad Vibes?

2005-04-11 by drumsonly2002

I am the young pup in the group! 49 almost 50 years old!!! My joints
feel like someone kicked me after playing an intense gig. That's why I
had to relearn my technique 5 years ago, wrist pain. Invested in the
Jim Chapin video, a few lessons from a good drum instructor, and
personal instruction from Jim Chapin himself to "fine tune my Moller".
My body is not what it use to be, and after a gig I feel like I had a
mule run over me, but my speed power and endurance is a lot better due
to not straining my self incorrectly and waisting energy slamming the
drums improperly.  I was 45 when I re trained for better snare drum
techniques. right now working on some fast double kick work. Never
thought i would still be playing at 50 but feel like I am just getting
started. working on some nice solo's too. Drums forever!!!!
