Post subject: | New Stickist from UK |
Hi guys, I've just had confirmation on my new railboard being completed! I'm based in chesterfield, derbyshire and been a follower of the stick for roughly 15 years, always been intrigued, but i'm actually an accomplished Drummer so this is a big change! Always felt of a bit of an investment to dip my toe but after fighting with myself for all this time i've gone for it... Hope it doesn't end in tears! |

Just don't try to rush things and stay active in the community and you'll do fine. Welcome to the community! |

Thanks! I plan to make it work (Promise to the Mrs!) and determined to do so! I have ordered Greg's DVD and books and everything else i can get my hands on to keep me inspired. |

Welcome! as a fellow drummer I can tell you you already have an advantage on the Stick. You're going to love it...worth every penny..or pence |

Thanks, Yeah, from what i've seen, there are definitely advantages. Just need to get the fingers working a bit more now. I hope i don't end up in a rehearsal room with a drummer though. Man those guys are annoying when they set up! |

Welcome! As Michael said, drummers seem to have an advantage when learning the Stick. You have been working on rhythmic independence between arms and legs for a long time. I was at a Stick workshop once with someone completely new to the Stick who was a pro hand percussionist. He took right off and we were all very impressed. (OK, a little jealous, too.) (OK, OK, a lot jealous!) -Eric |

Lots of great drumming Stickists here, Luc, Michael, Konrad. I am certain I have missed a few. They'll be tears of joy mostly. It's your drums that will miss you most. |

I'm not a "great Stick player" (yet) But my original instrument is drums so count me in the "came from drums" category. |

Well that's a nice bit of reassurance! Looks like there's a few of us from a "non musician" background! Nice to meet you all proper guys... I've been lurking for a while. |
