The best drummer on planet, for me! I wish I could learn with hím from my begginning years!

Rick, Thanks for this series on matched grip hand development. I'm hopeful they'll provide me a lot out of insight on how to improve my matched grip strokes. The camera angles in this video, and in Part 1, are excellent. They've provided me reveals on the ergonomics of the back of the right hand and the underside of the left hand that I feel will help me learn the proper motions to execute during practice sessions, which will help me move closer to achieving my goal of becoming a better player. Okay, it's time for me to practice - gotta roll, Tom B

Vic Firth has a Tim Genis signature stick, that looks very much like the ones in the video, but has a long taper and must be some what lighter. I have a pair, which are very nice to play with.

Hi Robyn The tip is similair but that's about it. My sticks are heavier with a different taper. Thanks Rick

Thanks for another great video Rick! When interpreting as triplets, how come the sticking on one in the second measure shifts to RRXRLL instead of keeping RRL? I can only se two of RRXRRL, the rest are RRXRLL. Are these available anywhere, can't find them in Three Camps.

I am not sure what you are asking. What does the X mean?
@Metzok2 жыл бұрын
Oh, sorry to be unclear. The X corresponds to the notes in your Rhythmic Patterns when playing triplets. So I’m just curious about the different triplet stickings. In this case RRLRRL vs RRLRLL where the X is equal to the second 16th note. RRLRRL occurs two times on the page and the rest of them are RRLRLL. Why? Just trying to understand the logic behind it.

That exercise is improvised using those 2 stickings. The rhythms can work in a number of different ways and lay well with any combination. You should try to do it differently every time. The logic behind it is that you can catch any figure without hesitation.

Wow, guess it'll take some work to be able imporvise rhytms and stickings like that. Thanks!

Hi, Rick! Do you have a recommended starting tempo on the pyramid exercise? For me 100 bpm as 16th notes is really fast. Do you have exercises on how to develop the fingers?
@rickdior2 жыл бұрын
Hi Robert Start at 1/4= 70 and try to isolate the fingers as I do in the video without moving your wrist or arm. Keep increasing the tempo gradually over several weeks and you will start to get stronger. Be patient and enjoy the process.

Is there a standard text recommended for learning / improving one's sight reading skills?
@rickdior2 жыл бұрын
Hi There are many books that can help you with your sightreading. To start with I would recommend Louis Bellson's Reading texts in 4/4 as well as the Odd-Time Reading text. Joe Maroni also has a great book on reading syncopation.
