Today I’m answering questions you asked in the comments from my last two lesson videos (“The invisible technique that makes DOUBLES work” & “Why your THRONE might be SLOWING your kick foot”).
You are seen & heard, and I want to do my best to help you out further here! Here are some big topics & questions we’re hitting today:
From the doubles training…
* How to avoid “stick wobble” in the hand when gripping loosely
* Why middle finger fulcrum is the way to go with slow, relaxed playing
* How to optimize your grip for faster, louder playing as you move beyond what we covered in this lesson
From the bass drum training…
* How shoe size plays into foot placement on the kick pedal
* The ideal way to perfectly place your rack tom - Even if you’re over 6 feet tall!
* Tips for raising the height of your floor tom - And at the same time increasing its resonance & sound quality
Coming up next week we’ll have the 2nd in the double series:
“The wrist cheat that creates strong, EVEN doubles” (2/3)
Then the week after that we’ll have the 2nd lesson in the bass drum series:
“The “controversial” technique for a SMOOTHER bass drum” (2/3)
I believe that ANYONE can learn the drums, and I believe you’re far more capable of becoming a great drummer than you think you are. Don’t sell yourself short! SUBSCRIBE for more Non Glamorous videos that get straight to the point of solving drumming frustration. Stay Non Glamorous, Everyone!
