Real drummers: Does Aerodrums help your kit playing?
Posted: Thu Feb 02, 2017 6:06 am
I got Aerodrums as a total newb. Prior I had only played a real kit for about three hours. Loved it so much I had to get Aerodrums
Anyway, I think Aerodrums are the perfect training equipment. For example: My rhythmic accuracy with repeated hits and stuff on the real kit was pretty good, but on the Aerodrums it's all over the place. I have to focus much much more on my limb control to stay right on the grid. I feel like once I'm really comfortably accurate on the Aerodrums, accuracy on the physical kit will be far easier.
And the other thing, coordination is 85% of the battle with drums, yes? I mean, if I can't keep my hands and feet from getting tangled in each other's groove on Aerodrums, it certainly won't happen on a real kit.
Obviously, hand crossing and rebound and cymbal hits are something that only a physical kit can offer. But the whole point of my theory is that once I'm good on Aerodrums, real kit should come real naturally.
Right........?
All you actual drummers, sound off!
