There's an interesting chat this week about
playing on a 4 piece set.
Charlie Watts from the Stones is a 4 piece
drummer. I remember hearing him say once that
"Less is more." I suppose
that he would've
had to play on a bigger set to know the
difference.
Personally, I play a 9-piece set, but in the
band I played in eleven years ago, I only
carried 4 pieces with
me. It was just because
of the style of band it was. 4 pieces was
really all I needed.
Also, in this week's e-letter, be sure to read
a good article about caring for your cymbals,
some new drum tips,
and a rudiment lesson!
When you take care of your cymbals you get
longer use out of them and save money. How
do you save money you ask,
well you save
money by not having to buy new cymbals
consistently! Read the full article...
