If you were able to choose one technique to instantly master what would it be?

Mine would be fast double bass.

Mine would be proper brush technique. I’ve always been too much of a rock/pop/blues player to spend the time needed to master it, but now — later in life — I find myself a lot more interested in playing quietly and with subtlety. Amazing how things change, huh?

I think it would be awesome to hear someone using brushes in a rock song!

I’m sure someone has at some point. Damn — you’re going to make me look it up!

I have been working, for a time longer than I want to admit, on a good press roll.  I think it gives instant credibility to a drummer’s sound.

Also, a steady train beat could score me some points.

Always wanted to use(but rarely had a chance to ) an accented press roll over double bass rolls…. until the other night when I was ‘allowed’ during a solo….  a good feeling to make it clean, smooth and fluid….but to MASTER ?...... I’d choose intricate time signatures like Bruford was able to do with ‘YES’....
