The Greatest Stick Control Exercise for the American Grip

Bruce explains very definitively and breaks down the position of the American Grip! As well as a finely tuned Stick Control Exercise.

Bruce, IS THIS THIS ZILDJIAN REFLEXX PAD??? Sounds great, I want one now. I call & write Stan ! atell me ASAP.

I'm a big fan of your teachings, heard about you through an interview (Give The Drummer Some) with Steve Smith years ago. I bought your video and have benefitted greatly. I studied the Chapin video for years too and I understand you studied a bit with him too. If I'm understanding Chapin correctly he shifts his fulcrum to his rear fingers (kind of Tony Williams style) based on dynamics while performing the Moeller technique?

The American Grip has always felt the most natural to me.

Very help video,can you tell what size drumsticks use on practice pad and what size on drumkit?

[@BruceBeckerDrums]

Thank you for checking out the lesson! I use VF 5A Double Glaze no matter whether I’m on Kit or pad.

That finger control is amazing, it looks so easy. Are you using more motion with the right arm/hand?
