🥁 What To Do (And NOT Do) When You Drop A Drumstick (Intermediate Lesson #8)

In this lesson we look at practical ways to recover calmly and smoothly without impacting on the groove or the band.

The biggest mistake drummers make after dropping a stick
How to keep the groove going with one hand
When to grab a spare stick (and when not to)
Simple setup tips to prepare for stick drops
A quick recovery approach used by experienced players
