In my opinion, you are wrong. The reason your arms get tired really quick when turning your wrist for singles is because you are weak. By relying on rebound and finger pulls for singles, you are just delaying the needed development of wrist strength and an all hand grip.

The Tyranny of Rebound. This is what I tell myself after years of not developing, strengthening and gaining flexibility in my wrists. Why, because I thought rebound was the way. It's not. It fools one into thinking one has chops and mis-directs the drummer into a dead end. Now that I written this I do believe doubles-rebound is necessary for a well rounded vocabulary but it's a side dish. Tony Williams was right in the 1983 Zildjian day drum clinic and I didn't Believe It until I spent months working on my wrists and finally making some progress.

I have a 22 rennaissance as well. I wasn’t keen on the clang. I hammered and lathed it so it’s more trashy. Went from just under 2600 to 2350. I also raised the clusters and polished them. I got it to where I wanted it. It sounded great as it was but definitely don’t suit me.

When I practiced playing along to my favorite songs I'd just do all fills with doubles and add doubles even on straight grooves. Make it fun but stay dedicated to the routine. I also would spend 15 minutes every session just working my hands around the drums and cymbals with rudiments. My tendency was to get so fixated on my feet and foot hand combos that I forgot how effective the hands are. I could pull off alot of fills that didn't require that facility of rudimental drumming but missed out on what the great hero's of mine were doing because they were so proficient with rudiments and applied them creatively. Practice smarter not harder but have fun always.

Super off-topic here, but what would you recommend as essential listening for someone who's more "jazz adjacent"? My entry point to jazz was Dave Weckl, back in the early 90's, and I never really made the transition in to, like, bebop or even straight-ahead in general. I've gotten in to a fair amount of big-band stuff, but really never "bonded" with the whole Blakey, Elvin and Max Roach thing. How do I migrate from fusion to "real" jazz?
@austinhass26382 ай бұрын
That's a great question! For me Philly Joe Jones was always a big hero. His phrasing, solo vocabulary, and swing were mesmerizing. A great album where this is all displayed is Art Pepper Meets the Rhythm Section. Another drummer that got me excited was Jeff Hamilton. He has his own trio and big band but I really like his work with the Ray Brown Trio. 3 Dimensional is a great record to check out. Other than that if you can go see live jazz in your area thats an even better way to immerse yourself and catch the bug. Hope this helps!
@metothemoon122724 күн бұрын
@Austin Hass Hi very interesting, indeed Jeff Hamilton is a giant. I really really also like Andre Ceccarelli (Yamaha drummer, was the drummer for Sylvain Luc trio unfortunately Sylvain is from another world today.) Andre Ceccarelli (78 yo) he is still playing like if he was young. Incredible drumming, musicality and specific touch on the drum. You can really enjoy his drumming on KZbin with this amazing live, Andre Ceccarelli really goes crazy on this 1 hour live very polyvalent and so magical: (oh yeah, he play exactly on the Yamaha hybrid absolute maple too on this one same color and same sizes.) m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqaciYyharGSY5Y&pp=ygUmQW5kcmUgY2VjY2FyZWxsaSBzeWx2YWluIGx1YyBib3VlIG5vdGU%3D

Hello Austin. I got turned on to the Absolute Hybrid line after playing a kit that Guitar Center had on display for that purpose. I immediately noticed the difference in punch and i also recognized what they were doing from a marketing perspective by having a high end kit. Do you recommend this kit for heavy metal. It almost seems to me that the extra tonal quality might interfere with tight breakdowns or transitions in certain situations. Thanks for the review though. Exactly what I was looking for.
@austinhass26383 ай бұрын
I'm not too deep into the metal genre but from what I have heard these drums might not fit the sound a metal drummer would be looking for. They're very open, resonant and even when tuned low still have a bright characteristic to the sound. I'm sure different head combinations could change that but I think something like the Yamaha Live Custom Hybrid Oak might be better suited for metal. At the end of the day you can make anything work for what you need but I think there are some better offerings for metal from companies like Mapex or Tama. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!

Before tax all 7 drums come out to around $6599.99. Since I work at a music store I was able to get it all for less but it was definitely an investment. To me they're my favorite sounding drums period, however other manufactures like Mapex and Pearl are making crazy good drums in the same price point. What sets these apart for me is the ease of use. The tom mount is great and the drums are so well made tuning is a piece of cake. Everyone makes good stuff though at this price point! Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

The quality is amazing and although some people disrespect it because it isn't made in the USA like the high end USA Series kits, it is excellent. They are made in Taiwan, in the DW factory under contract with DW, according to Gretsch specs. These aren't the cheapest, but you get far more than your money's worth. The Gretsch Catalina Club Maple kits and the Gretsch Renown kits are also made in the same factory. All are wonderful.
