1) I'm jammin in a cover band, we will be playing 40 songs a night. My fingers sometimes become "numb" and stiff. Any tips to avoid this from happening?
2) Trying to improve my bass drum skills. I find myself playing with the top part of the foot or toe, and not the whole foot. Is this good or bad?
3) I'm comfortable with only socks on, but is there a better drum "shoe" out there for those of us who like to play without shoes?
4) We're doing songs like "Working for the weekend" , "Everybody wants some", where there "seems" like a constant bass drum hit on every measure, think I can get away with just playing every other bass hit and not a constant 4/4 bass drum? Less tiring... bass,snare,bass,snare instead of bass, bass/snare, bass, bass/snare
Thanks for any advice or tips.
