Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
most drummers OVER PLAY
they do far too much and when they get to recording give the producer a real hard time!.
Consider drummin like an oil painting
each stroke must be needed, and in place and exact,
the secret is to PLAY LAID BACK,,,,
its best to be asked to play more, than to be asked to leave,,,,
Paul Mcartney asked a lot of good drummers to leave, as they tried to impress him,,,,Paul wanted a Ringo,,,,to the pont and simple,,,,

but then again it all depends on the music, but to be a good drummer, one has to think what does the composer want of me,,,,,and then deliver and be ready to be flexible!.
I admire drummers they dont often get the credit they deserve!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if you have a double pedal, here's a good exercise:

do right-left-right-left on your snare, then the same on your bass drum!.

eventually, you WILL get faster!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Drink a lot of coffee and get less sleep!.

Ziggy Ellman!? Gene Krupa!? Some famous drummer made rhe remark!. Or maybe it was that other guy!. At any rate, I'm sure, it had to be tongue-in-cheek!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
