In this clip I'm going to demonstrate how to recover from a dropped stick. In a live
situation no matter who you are, it's bound to happen whether you drop a stick or you
break a stick. So I'm actually going to do a beat here and I'm going to, I'll throw the
drum stick because I don't think I can on cue, drop one. Just to give you an idea of
what you should do in the situation. You want to try to keep the beat still going with the
one hand, and try to grab your stick as you're keeping time with the song. So here we go.
Let's see what we can do with this one; two, three, four. If you'll notice, I didn't drop
a beat. In a live situation sometimes you can't really help it. But and I wouldn't actually
suggest practicing this, but like I said, it's just something that does happen in a
live situation. And that's kind of an idea of what you could do to try to recover from
it. So do the best you can with it and have a good time.
