DESCRIPTION:
"Not only is this a great resource for who play" according to Trevor Thwaites. Who would have thought Steve Smith could come up with yet another idea for drummers to learn from. Not only is this a great resource for who play, or wish to develop, matched grip playing, it also includes so marvellous applications of rudiments around the kit. A great text supported by a generous DVD.. Harsh Jain said Get a grip. I am very glad I got this book as a beginner drummer. You can learn and practice the most ergonomic and relaxed techniques for holding the sticks and apply them to the drum set with ease and fluidity. Although difficult at first, once you get the hang of the grips, it becomes second nature. I think this is an invaluable addition to drum technique instruction literature.. R. Scott said Recommended. Highly recommended if you are interested in developing and refining your matched grip technique. The video shows good views of the basic stick motions. The book and video are well organized so that it's easy to find the different sections. The exercises are challenging but fun!
Many opt for lick building, when in reality, hands that move properly can take your playing to the next level and beyond. The book is packed with insights and practical ideas of how a drummer can develop the building blocks of a usable and hip-sounding vocabulary that has nearly limitless applications. Peter Erskine "Having fluid hand technique is often overlooked by many drummers. Each grip is thoroughly explored in its basic motions on the snare drum, and then translated to drumset applications and phrases. Steve
