    Sir! please a video on how to improvise when especially when ONE STICK gets broken and no replacement, If your pedale kick gets bad in middle of gig or if the snare gets burst in middle of gig . How to improvise and keep the music stable to a point, because these are situations no one talks about and replacements some times aren't nearby.

    Middle intermediate I'm learning rudiments now and how to apply them to grooves. But flexibility is becoming much better thanks for those videos about flex. Timing . Speed. Kick. Grip. I used to play without those knowledge since 5 yrs ago but as of last year I started making use of your vids and there's a change ❤❤❤

    I must say IMO that the definition for embellishments is quite accurate👌👌. My personal understanding of embellishments is this:
    As musicians, we know that within a song we have groove positions, fill positions and solos... anything played within the groove position that doesn't alter the groove massively is an embellishment.
    Reason why I call them " unnecessary little additions"
    I must end by saying that this video has been very edifying to me🙏🙏🙏and given that I'm getting a little more comfortable with different time signatures, i would say I'm a middle intermediate drummer 😅

      Yeah..
      Just as ​@@boyaers already said
      I good 5A or 5B drumstick will suffice.
      Pending on your choice of weight of Sticks.
      5B drumsticks are quite heavier than 5A drumsticks. Just as 2B drumsticks are heavier than 5B drumsticks.

    I have a question?
    Does playing 32rd notes comfortably implies being advanced or still intermediate?

    • @TochSticksMusic
      @TochSticksMusic  6 місяців тому

      Not really.
      There isn't a singular criteria that can mean you're an advanced player. Lots of intermediate drummers can play 32nd notes.
      It also depends on the tempo at which you're playing the 32nd notes.
