Set-Up Mental Block...
Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2009 5:05 pm
I have a "mental block" that I need suggestions on how best to set up so I can move forward...
I have 2 ea. 12" drums and 1 ea. 11" drum. My fingers can't work well due to size on the 11" as being my main "center" drum.
Note: No $ to pick up another drum at this time.
Would you suggest I...
A. Tune one 12" drum to a "Conga" pitch and make it my center drum and have the other 12" to my right tuned to a lower pitch "Tumba" and make the 11" my higher pitched "Quinto" on the left?
B. Deal with the 11" "Quinto" and learn to make it work in the center?
C. Tune a 12" drum to a higher pitched "Quinto" and put in the center and have the other 12" to my right tuned to a lower "Tumba" pitch and tune the 11" drum to a "Conga" pitch and place on my left?
