Drum Sticks on Turkey Day

In honor of Turkey Day, eat a lot of drum sticks! Besides, the Turkey gave his life for this joke, it is the least we can do.

Double Bass Drumming with no Drumset?

You can always spot a drummer or a metal enthusiast while you are driving in the car. Not the guy pretending to be Neal Peart to the same Tom Sawyer song doing the fills, but the guy with the double finger tapping on the steering wheel. So it is safe to say double bass drumming can find it self in side of nature as well. It is just notes in the long run. But you do need two of something to tango. I often find my brain when playing on smaller kits trying to find the 2nd bass drum. We train ourselves to think in certain ways, play in certain ways, but we don't always need a Drum Set to do this. Double Bass Drumming can sneak its way into your key board while you are at work. Hence my password, it is a double bass drum beat that most people cannot do while watching me do it. Great password, except if another drummer watches you do it. Hilarious. Why else would they make cruise control on a car? So you can practice your double bass on long rides. Waiting at a restaurant after ordering is a perfect time to sharpen your skills. If you are a musician, you shouldn't care what people think and do whatever it takes to hone your craft. Larry Bird brought a basket ball with him everywhere he went, I bring my mental double bass drums with me everywhere I go. Try to find the double bass drum in everything in life. It is waiting for you!
