So I'm pretty much just starting out on the drum set, though I've been in percussion for a while. I've got a crappy set, but that doesn't matter. I want to learn to drum more like Mike Wengren and Danny Carey from the band Tool. Does anybody have any tips? I can do basic beats right now, with a few more advanced ones, but advice would be appreciated.

I had to put on the CD Asylum
I try to hide from the unholy sound of it
Another day gone
Another night's dawn
Dark forces pull me underground
And never went away completely

My nephew Antonio is 15 and he is battling Ewings Sarcoma. It's a rare form of cancer. This kid is my hero. He keeps smiling through everything. He is a big time soccor fan and was supposed to play on his high school team this year. He is also a drummer. In fact, he is playing my old set which is an old Ludwig that looks like the original set Ringo played with the Beatles. Antonio is also, as I am, a fan of Disturbed. What I wanted to find out is, we are starting a campaign called Drun Sticks for Antonio. We are contacting drummers to see if they could donate a pair of autographed sticks. We are trying to do everything we can to keep his spirits up and keep him positive. We all want to see him playing soccor again and, me especially, see him playing the drums again. If there is anything you or anyone else could do to help, it would be greatly appreciated. This is something I normally would never do. But for Antonio, I will make an exception. Either way, thank you and keep doing what you do.
