It ain't the drum, it's the drummer!...or as Max said "Play the drum...don't let it play you"Just grab a drum, set it up & play the out of it!
yes indeed! It's funny...I'm watching Levon Helm on the Last Waltz. His sound was great and pretty simple...smallish Zildjians and wood snare....very earthy and a great touch. Seeing this is a great lesson...it's the drummer!
