It's nice to know other people make scary faces when they're focused playing snare drum. Thank you for posting this I learned so much!

Inspirational. I firmly believe in singing the part too. It helps so much. Thank you.

Yes, with the PERCUSSION instruments in particular you have to get the stick up and off playing surface as quickly as possible to let the drum or bar resonate. If you bury the stick or a mallet into the head or bar, (it’s called dead, sticking) you will choke off the vibrations. This is a basic principle that every beginning snare drum student should learn. If you play drum set, you apply the same principle to the bass drum you get to beater ball up and back off the head as soon as possible to let the drum reverberate and sing! Legendary drum teacher FRED GRUBER taught me these concepts back in 1969!

Jacob is a great teacher but there is one very other important element that is not covered in preparing-I know this may be presented as the next advanced step in the lesson but a key skill is to practice and develop ilooking up towards the conductor as opposed as ones eyes glued to looking at ones hands and sticks. It is more difficult and you have to notice the possible variations in tempo by the conductor. He may not always be metronomic and may want to purposely change tempi for musical reasons. Practice looking up most of the time. Can always look down periodically.

great video, please check the audio on the instruments - distorted sound especially on snare

For me, the ultimate dynamic study is the French Bolero by Ravel! He starts off as a whisper and ends up as a roar you go through all the dynamic gradients in between doesn’t get much better than that one! What do you say?

You might want to move that music stand, so we can see what he’s doing maybe even show the score as he’s playing it maybe!
