Yeah. I was wondering the same thing . . . Anyone still have Quad Zen 2?

Ok... as both a drumset and tenor player I must admit I love them both... I believe true percussionists should be open to all forms of drumming.
Something that you learn from one drum can carry over to another...Myself I play tenors, bass, drum set, and congas! Each of them has made me a better drummer and person.

i couldnt agree more, i am looking at getting a set here soon

wow, what you said made all sense. Im not the best quad player in the world. But I know your paragraph sure got me better.

I'm not sure what happened to "Quad Zen II" but there was some very pertinant information in there. I might try to write another series soon.

thanks for all the great feedback guys, it's been so helpful.

peace

we should have a quad player mecca , in the mountains, near tibet.
we should call it .......

We'll call it Quadica. The haven for those who wish to enlighten thier playing, technique and soul through the under-appreciated art of tenors. All kidding aside now, I want to tell you again how much I appreciate your work here. Tell me, have you considered submitting these articles to percussion magazines? I know this is something that we could, and in most cases, should keep to ourselves, but I think every aspiring Tenor player should read this and learn from it.

Yeah, deffinitely another hit post. This same concept has been driven into my head for a while (I've been blessed with enlightened and persistent teachers: Aaron Guidry, Kenny Carrico and Allen Joanis) but even with their great influence on my practice sessions, it's good to hear a new phrasing and a fresh approach.

Thanks!

i totally agree with you jason. I have a band director who wanted me to play snare and he only thinks that snare is the number one of the drum line.

To start off i want to just say that was amazing, everything that you said I agree with. What you said makes me want to work twice as hard.
Thank you for the inspiration.
