o_O There's REAL lefty drummers?! Dude, I'm like more Lefty than Tony Iommi, and I don't use Lefty Flip drums...And it's NOT ambidextrous, it's mixed-handed. Not doing the same thing with both handings.


Actually, what he mentioned would be considered ambidextrous (being able to do something oriented around either hand without much [or any] difficulty).

BTW, I'm left-handed, but I've always had problems with left-handed rolls. Always. And I can play RB and real drums both left- and right-handed.

Whoops, that's my fault. When I said that comment, I meant what it was for me. When I tell people that I play guitar and stuff left-handed, but do some other things right-handed, they always say, "Oh, so you're ambidextrous?" Obviously I'm not, but his situation would suit that definition better.

I tried playing Assassin on lefty drums earlier, I can't do those hi hats snare etc on righty. I'm playing on an RB Drum kit btw.

And speaking of real lefty drummers, Dom from Muse is a lefty.

I play w/ Lefty Flip and I had no drumming experience before getting the RB1 kit.

I worked my way up to Don't Fear the Reaper in RB on Expert, and after the usual pitfalls involved with the song, realized that doing the outro rolls for that song are much harder w/ Lefty Flip.

Keeping your left hand and right foot in synch is MUCH harder than keeping the right side of your body together. I tried pedalling lefty, but it makes the game feel like a sewing machine.

In short, if I wasn't playing on Lefty Flip, I totally would have passed that DFTR outro by now. Everything else I've come across seems just fine on lefty.
