Ooooookkkkkk..... I'll start then. I typically use matched grip, sometimes I use traditional as a stylistic approach to whatever I'm doing. I've been using finger control a lot, but I'm going to start working with the Moeller technique a little more, and see how that works out for me. I guess what makes me unique is that I use rolls quite a bit, and also experiment heavily with time superimposition/modulation; for instance I'm working on a rhythm that is 7/8 (toms) over 5/8(snare, hihat) over a triplet figure (bass drum) in 4 over 4 (hihat pedal). Of course, I really haven't gotten past 7/8 over 5/8 yet, but I can do triples in four over 5/8 and 7/8... I hope that made sense. I've been practicing doublebass pedals a lot, how do you guys like it? Have you tried it? I can do a couple of stick tricks, usually automatically when I'm not playing something with whatever hand I'm doing the trick with. Anyways, I'm going to be posting a lot of Music lessons in my journal, for anyone who wants to learn something new.

I tend to use traditional grip more frequently, as I find it more comfortable for playing jazz, however, I do switch over for some latin, african, metal, and hard rock applications, where power or different motion ranges are needed.
As for techniques? I just use what works for me and produces the most musical results.
What makes me special? Believe it or not, I actually LOOK at the other musicians when playing. It may seem like a small thing, but there are so many I've seen who NEVER look at anyone else. It can make such a difference. I try to make the group sound good, not play in my own world.

Yes! Now that's the kind of answer I'm looking for xd Yes, looking at the musicians you're playing with is very important. Especially when you're giving or receiving cues, I can't believe how many people don'ot use cues, especially people who CAN'T COUNT. That just erks me. So do you use double bass pedals? I do, but I don't single it out and forget that the hi-hat has a pedal. In fact, I often keep time for myself when practicing by using the hi-hat, it really loosens up my other three limbs.

Saurencaerthai The one thing I can't stand, though, is using a double pedal as a substitute for poor single pedal technique. I feel right now that I have enough to work on with just training ONE foot, without having to introduce the harder facet of having a second bass drum in there.
I can sympathize. I used to complain about drummers who use the double pedal as a substitute for a double kick. But, now that I have the experience of being able to do double kicks with and without the double pedal, I discovered that both methods have their different applications. Sometimes I use both techniques simultaneously, along with a low tom to create sort of an adapted five-stroke ruff. It's a very powerful sound. But I think it's very important, even without a bass pedal to train that left foot. The pedal action might feel a little different, but all-in-all, the foot action is the same. When I started using my double bass pedals, I quickly realized that my hi-hat skills were minimal. But that's all changed now!
