Question I have a pearl drumset and I have a drumming dvd and i was wondering what if I should use a brush sticks or rute to play with the dvd on my computer? I would like to know if i could get them online and from vic firth
Answer Carl,
This depends on 2 things really: how good is your audio system form your computer and how loud do you play? Is it possible to use headphones from your computer? That may solve your problem. Rutes are less sound than sticks, but one could still easily drown out a computer system if played loud. I would purchase these form Steve Weiss Music
