Thank you for your kind comments. I appreciate your
interest in my playing and career. On my foot speed,
when I was young and learning, I also wanted to be a bass
player. So when I would listen to a record to learn how to
play a song, I tended to listen to the bass players parts as
well as the bass drum parts, and blend the two together
mentally and learn them as one collective rhythm. In doing
so, it became a natural manner of learning for me.
Some of the bass parts were busy, so I learned, through
practice, determination (and great pain at first), to
combine and blend to two patterns into one fluent rhythm
along with the dynamics of a bass guitarist approach.
Through time, I became fluent with it and developed
speed, articulation, control and a sense of musicality
through the spirit of dynamics which gives it 'emotional
feel'. Speed comes with time. 'Over a period of time',
and spending lots of time becoming 'ONE' with your
kit and expanding ideas and rhythmic concepts.
Hope this helps._
