Howdy. I have recently started playing with a thumbpick (frailing), I've had a fingerpick on for a while and like that, no problems, the thumbpick though, hits the head and is loud, I'd like to avoid this drumming if possible, and i assume with practice i will have some control of this. Can anyone chime in here with experience of this with a little advice if possible? I like the thumbpick and want to keep it, by the way.
I have shaved the thumbpick right down to nearly nothing but it still hits the head just as loud. I do get that practice, practice, practice is generally the only way to achieve anything, but I would appreciate some helpful advice if possible, thanks.
