I play drums all wrong. What I mean is ... I play a right-handed kit, but don't cross my arms when playing a kick/hihat/snare beat. I'm actually left-handed, but know that if I try to play left-handed, I wouldn't be able to play kick with my other foot... no way. I've tried crossing my arms, but find I can't play as well on snare that way. I usually go with what feels more comfortable.
I play guitar right-handed too and that works OK (my own opinion). And, I've been doing ok on drums so far (my own opinion, again) ... but do you guys see any problems or limitations in what I may be able to play later on down the line?
I also play everything with matched grips, and have been thinking about trying a traditional grip (btw ... wow that's hard, any tips anyone?). I think if I try to change grips, I'll have to figure out the whole left/right thing first.
What do you think?
Maybe I should stop thinking about it and just play ...
Thanks
