They couldn't very well promote WFD - and along with it, the sale of Drumometers - if there wasn't something more enticing/exciting about the whole thing. And no, there's not supposed to be anything musical about it, it's just about singles & speed. It's not so different than drumming in corps where it's strictly about the application rudiments... not about anything that applies to sitting behind a kit with a normally tuned snare, playing any other musical genre out there. It's all just what it is, and obviously somewhat self-serving at the same time. Like Johnny Rabb's Sawsticks. They're great if you do what Johnny does with them - that is, play the things he cooked up to sell the sticks he cooked up to play the things he cooked up. Fun stuff to listen to, and well-done by Johnny, but not applicable in everyday drumming (or even usable as everyday sticks.) Or like Taco Bell: it's not Mexican cuisine by any stretch - it just is what it is. (sorry to stray from bpm to WFD to tacos...) Bermuda Really don't agree, except the Taco Bell thing - not Mexican food, but I too love it anyway. I just don't buy your two comparisons - as they both have a fair amount of music attached (and I really can't buy corp drumming being merely the application of rudiments). And as you say the WFD has nothing to do with music. Which brings us back to - if it has nothing to do with music, what does it have to do with drumming? David |

The ride cymbal is just another tool, such as an artist uses a brush, what you do with that tool is entirely up to your artistic qualities and imagination.

I completely mix and match. I have 24s strand Customs on my 60's acro. 16 Strand Customs on the 70's acro and 20 strand customs on the Blacro. TO real step on the limb I put a set of 20 strand twisted on the PDP Maple. I live that drum

...what, in your opinion and in one sentence, is the function of the ride cymbal in rock and pop drumming? In rock and pop the ride cymbal is used during choruses. |

There's a big difference between short bursts, and maintaining singles for 60 seconds at that speed. Apart from the competition aspect, the main thing of WFD is endurance and control. If any drummer's aren't interested in improving those - at any speed - they should pick another intstrument. You won't get an argument out of me on your point with the exception of "at any speed." I'm not sure if that's practical. Even Jojo Mayer draws a line at some point and says, "I'm in control playing many strokes in this break beat, and I'm going to move on to something else." I could be wrong, but I don't think he sits down every day and challenges himself to play break beats beyond known standard tempos (and in drum-n-bass, there's a lot of double time!). I wouldn't want one of my students getting hung up on trying to break the WFD record for double strokes in 60 seconds at the cost of him learning how to play with other musicians (requiring much more maturity and selflessness). I know YOU know that, but I wasn't certain if I understood your statement as something in a different light. |

I find that is a perfectly natural transition for those in southern California. I'm in Victoria BC at the moment... I was probably just jones'n for some TB. |

I've never seen anything about the WFD that wasn't solely about speed and, of course, competition. And all with not a shred of music or musicality to be found. They couldn't very well promote WFD - and along with it, the sale of Drumometers - if there wasn't something more enticing/exciting about the whole thing. And no, there's not supposed to be anything musical about it, it's just about singles & speed.
