2:43 - Myth #1: Where you place your index finger…
4:57 - Myth #2: Why you don’t have to grip TIGHTER…
12:11 - Myth #3: The DANGER of playing “more from your wrists”…
17:52 - Question for you…
18:24 - Here’s what’s next for you:
Have you found yourself gripping tightly for fear of losing your sticks? Believe me - I’ve been there!
One Sunday morning playing at church years ago I was gripping so tight that my thumbs were sore for 2 days after playing only 4 songs that morning.
I’ll tell you what actually happened to cause the hand pain - along with the critical grip issue I became aware of that day - so that YOU can avoid the mistake I made.
Fast forward a few years… Just this past Sunday we played a loud, fast, 150bpm song in church, and I made it out of the rehearsal and the service pain-free. Let me help you do the same!
What if you could play loudly and quickly with full control of your sticks, never having that panicked feeling of the sticks slipping away from you?
Well today you’ll learn how to avoid the tight, pain-inducing grip you saw in the thumbnail by busting 3 easy-to-fall-for myths that are holding you back…
So that you’re instead gripping in a loose, relaxed manner that still allows you full control of the sticks - even when playing fast. YOU CAN DO THIS.
I believe that YOU can become the drummer everyone wants in their band. Anyone can learn the drums, and you’re far more capable of mastering this instrument than you think you are. Don’t sell yourself short!

Stay Non Glamorous,
