The Velocity and Buck Exercises describe and break down the motions involved in velocity strokes (which are allowed to rebound back to their attack height) and cushion strokes (which are not allowed to rebound, or which are only permitted to rebound to a lower height than their attack). This exercise, along with The Fulcrum Exercise and The Hot Stove Exercise, enable you to truly isolate and perfect the building blocks of drumming fundamentals, as described by The Technique Triangle.
Fundamental Focus on Fulcrum: The Fulcrum Exercise
The Fulcrum Exercise (and its supplemental materials) break down and describe the grip and fulcrum fundamentals necessary for good rudimental drumming. This exercise, along with The Hot Stove Exercise and The Velocity and Buck Exercises, enable you to truly isolate and perfect the building blocks of drumming fundamentals, as summarized by The Technique Triangle
Fundamental Focus on Wrist Turn: The Hot Stove Exercise
The Hot Stove Exercise (and its supplemental materials) describe and break down the basic wrist turn motion in rudimental drumming. This exercise, along with The Fulcrum Exercise and The Velocity and Buck Exercises, enable you to truly isolate and perfect the building blocks of drumming fundamentals, as described by The Technique Triangle.
