| hello sir john riley
I'm happy to be able to share your story with you and before I apologize I often ask you a lot
my challenge as a drummer is more and more and my knowledge is not much but I am still passionate about learning and practicing .. I want to ask you a question?
1. How do I deal with the nature and behavior of someone in a team in the band (I'm tired of the way each player makes a lot of comments and criticisms, sometimes that makes me sad)?
2. As a drummer do I need to learn drumming with a teacher to improve quality as a drummer and be a good band player?
3. How can I as a drummer bring a band that I am playing to be enjoyed by all the audience and the drum punch that I produce is good to hear?
4 does a drummer need to hit a rimshot in each song played in a gig ... if indeed all the punches must be rimshot and what should I do to be able to have a change in becoming a drummer?
Thank you, Mr. John Riley, for your success in becoming a drummer |

| Hello John, I am also curious about your tune bot settings. Do you have higher settings for the toms that you like to use? |

thank you for the input and advice you provided
I want to ask you? I play drums at a slow tempo is enough, but why playing on medium tempo is very difficult even though I am going to plan in the future to play at all times
2 do I become a drummer at this time need teacher guidance to move forward in music
3 what should I do when I have decided to become a professional drummer |
