One question I have about this technique at 3:09 is whether to let the stick bounce 3 times, or if I should do 3 quick individual movements with the index finger.

[@BradAllenDrumsKansasCity]

Thank you for your question. For that particular exercise you want to let the stick bounce 3 times. Basically like a double stroke only with 3 bounces. So no not 3 individual movements with index finger.

Amazing detailed video ! Thanks

[@BradAllenDrumsKansasCity]

Thank you! Detail is very important when it comes to technique. In the past I learned that when teachers weren't specific enough about grips, how to practice, etc. it was confusing to me. So I've tried to learn from that and apply it to my own teaching.

Currently looking into improving my french grip, this is very useful thank you

[@BradAllenDrumsKansasCity]

Thanks Paul. Glad you found it helpful. It's not really hard to learn if you know how to practice it. Focus mostly on the fulcrum between thumb and first joint of index finger.

[@Paulswindellsdrummer]

@@BradAllenDrumsKansasCity Yeah great stuff, Been on a hand technique mission for a while, I feel this will strengthen some of my other movements too!

this is the absolute best technique for super highspeed and extreme endurance playing, check out marthyn jovanovic`s playing

[@BradAllenDrumsKansasCity]

Thank you. I've spent quite a bit of time exploring various grips, because I definitely think each has advantages.
