First in-person Lot since 2019! Most of this line was part of the virtual season of 2020. That was a tricky time to have all of these members in the same spot, so we had to try splitting the drumline to have equal opportunity in both battery pods. Finally back together for 2021 and it’s magic most days, their tenacity for being “better” is inspiring. It’s the first lot (so be nice!), they’re ef...

[Drumming After Coffee] I met Casey way back in 2006 in an Independent WGI WorldClass group, The Sacramento Freelancers. Since then, we've taught together and made memories along the way. Just wanted to share some friendly drumming and maybe introduce a classic exercise. This was filmed in Santa Clara just as the fires in California were getting started again. Air quality was terrible the day a...

[New Production Job] It's time to try the reaction. How will this suffice in a world of pageantry? We are familiar with competition and the enjoyment of performing in front of crowds, but what about this type of media? Is it enough for the staff and the members as a vehicle for performance and high caliber musicianship? Or is it enough for the parents and family that support these students? My ...

This season is about pushing beyond the limits of what is possible. From the adversity, we will overcome without complaint or fear of moving backward, upgrade our understanding of the new parameters, creating new experiences to enjoy and grow from. And with that... we can really see and hear the ticks =] My number one tick is the video and audio recording, editing, producing, and delivering. It...

Part2 of this series. This should uncover most of the training principles behind playing with this stroke in a more applicable aspect. There are definitely more ways to learn about the nuance, be sure to apply the principles of sound quality that make up the characteristic sound that defines you and feels good to your human expression. It's all about finding your own identity.

SAFETY FIRST: Be Wary of Technical Definitions (like these!); I don't know for sure, I'm not a scientist, but you can damage your finer tendons and hand joints by playing too hard, absorbing too much shock. Also, I'm learning how to better educate with the skills I've come across. Take it all with a grain. Moeller Technique: The Single Stroke As a macro perspective on drumming, it is vital to e...

Jacob contacted me through social media, I've given him some feedback through text before, so I decided to up the critique by showing him along with an explanation of some acquired philosophies. This is in no way meant to bring attention to him as a player. Watching the video for myself showed me that these are topics and examples that are repeated in various contexts and we can all evolve by d...

Another feedback and tips video for a specific video response, this was to help another fellow drummer (whom made SCVC 2020 snareline before the Pandemic!). This is another look into the 3-Step process to Breaking Anything Down. With this method we can isolate a specific trait of rudimental literature and hone the skills necessary to increase efficiency.
