Comment on Are there people without handedness?
WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI play strings right handed. It seemed weird to me too that the off hand is doing the easy work. Playing left feels wrong like batting right does though. I guess the rhythm is easier to control with the dominant hand and hitting the wrong note/chord doesn’t matter as much when you’re in time?

This makes me wonder if drummers have a dominant hand. Except Rick Allen of course.

They are so coordinated it’s hard to tell by looking that’s for sure. Keeping time has always been the hardest part for me though so I find drummers and bassists pretty impressive. RIP Phil Lesh

I prefer putting my cymbal on a specific side, but I only ever play with a trap set. I don’t know whether that counts.

Ringo is a lefty on a righty kit which added to his feel.
