What is wrong with my technique, and what can I do to improve it? These are excellent questions, which I do my best to address through 3 main points. Today we talk about GRIP, MOTION, and POSTURE, and how these three areas of technique are extremely important to your sound and fluidity as a player. Choosing your type of grip and where you form the fulcrum on the stick can actually depend on what dynamic or style you’re playing. The type of motion you use to hit the drum can determine the smoothness of your sound and your ease of playing. Posture, the super-important final point, may make the difference between back problems and fluid playing with good feel. This video is definitely a “crash course” in the truest sense, but I hope to give you the basic advice and information you may need to get your technique squared away. We close with a discussion on how to become your own teacher - how to evaluate yourself - which is crucial toward growing as a player (especially if you are "self-taught").
