Drum Resolutions.

[EdBanger]

I haven't really thought of one for myself,
But I do want to have a new kit by the end of the year.
Has anyone got any drumming resolutions/targets that want to have accomplished by the end of the year ?

[Jezen]

To be able to play jazz.

[EdBanger]

I dont think i'm gonna be going for jazz for a while. Hard Stuff, Hard Stuff.

[LittlePound]

i should probably clean those gummy bears out of my bass drum.....and maybe get new heads...and have more focused practice cuz i don't get to a lot

[Cocaberry]

Here we go:


Replace crappy Verve throne with Roc N Soc Nitro throne
Replace XS20 crashes with AA Mediums
Possibly add on an AAX China
Hopefully by the end of the year upgrade to a pro kit.
Work on getting my bass drum foot faster
Work on 4way coordination
Get my left hand fingers up to speed
Improve my dynamics and time keeping skills


Most of this stuff shouldn't be too hard.

[Jezen]

Oh and by the end of this year, I want to endorse Istanbul Agop.

[Sharkey Boy]

[ToMsK]

Working with a Click definatly

[Refl]

My resolution is to learn how to play the drums.

[Panopticon]

get a new kit by THE LATEST...end of February (Birthday:D)...and also to work with stick control and a click (ie. get a practice pad, and big-*** marching sticks for workin on said pad.)

[TTTSNB]

To learn more and jazz/latin, and to be able to swing with ease at most tempos. Also, to be able to be able to play the 40 fluently, and to get up to 230+ with the kick drum, learning a few rudiments on the way. Also, to be able to play a decent blast beat.

[deadwith0utmusic]

im gonna practice alot more. alot. and get better at my rudiments and faster at everthing.
and write at least 10 songs and have a first gig with the my band.

[crazyguy832]

Buy a year of Xbox Live.

Oh, drumming... umm... buy a new metronome that doesn't click twice at random intervals, thus throwing my timing off.

And get my double pedal up to speed. Work on my fills, definetely.

[alexmonty12]

Get loads of new stuff, get better. I think that covers most peoples resolutions right there

[CasB]

uhh replace my stagg cymbals with Masterwork.
Buying a new snare, probably a Tomcat.
Buying a Premier Artist birch, or Premier Premier Gen-X (depends on how much I will earn the next couple of months).
And maybe replace all my hardware with Bigdog.

Actually, I've realised I need to open up to different genre's. To put into my playing.
And it'd be awesome to be able to nail the Steve Gadd lick. Haven't tried it yet though, looks hard.

[PremierManiac]

1. Upgrade my ZBT ride
2. Finally replace my pinstripes with coated ambs
3. Get a job to pay for numbers 1 and 2

[Bub]

Mine, as above, would be getting a job. The reason this is a drumming resolution is because of what every penny earnt will inevitably be put towards

[Double Bass Jim]

To stop buying new gear for at least 2 weeks.

[boss]

haha same
even just the smallest thing i have to buy just because i have extra change lying around

[HeLLmO]

To stop buying new gear for at least 2 weeks.

how about u send me ur money so i can help u not buy new gear

[Killtacular]

I need to buy some drums.

[DuckinFutch]

Good luck doing it all :thumb: Would be sweet to accomplish all that

Haha, it would be amazing if I did....

I think I can get the gear and the job...

The #2 Jazz Band thing will probably be the toughest, I would've made it easily except there's some little home-schooled jazz-drumming phenom this year...

Took my friends spot, my friends also amazing, in the #2 jazz band...

He doesn't really deserve it though... He's a good combo drummer, but he's not too great at big-band playing...

The gigging's looking in fairly good shape for at least one of the bands, we've got a couple really sweet sounding songs going...

Then getting laid is probably the 2nd hardest... Damn I need a GF...

[Hyde]

I know this is late, but I'm going to get my single strokes DOWN as well as my accents. I kinda got used to playing double strokes early on and didn't care to learn single strokes... so I'm payin' for it now)

And I am going to get my double bass speed and technique to where it used to be.

[440561]

Me too! a problem shared is a problem halved ;)

1)Keep up good work in lessons, i was told i have improved greatly... GO ME!
2)Get a new ride.
3)Make money, somehow. Dont have enough free days to do a paper round.

[HeLLmO]

i think male prostitution would be a good way to make money. too bad i'm a fat *** :(. WAIT! there is chinesse food in the fridge from last night :) i'm happy again:)

[drummer_mp3]

Get way better over-all.
Start getting serious about school and my band(starting today).

By a decent pedal for the said drum.
Buy a Powerstroke 4 for the same drum.

[CasB]

Some changes:
Masterwork ride + hihat
New kit (Premier Artist or Peace Paragon)
New snare (Loud and small, anyone?)
Replace hardware with Big Dog

And maybe buy a lot of wuhan cymbals, just to try out at gigs (how the crowd hears the sound, etc).
