Thank you so much for putting this out there! Already picking up some stuff I didn't know and I'm hyped to see everything you guys have to offer tenor players!!
Make sure you're not lifting your wrist too high for cross-overs. If you're over lifting, that may be why you're lifting your shoulders. Keep your wrists down and as close as possible to each other. Also, if you need to lift a little more, lift from your elbow. That is a natural hing and should feel natural. Your shoulder is not a hinge. If none of those are the issue, then I'd consider lowering your drum to give your elbows more room to bend upwards, but first and foremost I'd check the lift in your hands. Hope that helps 👍
Yes, there is a small list of exceptions however I do not advise you use/try them until you have a strong understanding of the fundamentals. They should be used sparingly and consciously and the only way to do that is by knowing that for 95% of what you're playing is with good technique/motion fundamentals.

Really digging the stuff put on this channel so far. Hyped for more.
Do you have any advice on breaking a bad habit of tilting your shoulders when you do sweeps or passages dealing with lots of cross overs from 3 and 4

@@TheQuadMethod I looked at some videos of myself and yeah i need to left with my elbows, thank you, I couldnt really key in on what it was!
hey could you do a video about where the hand should be at when holding the stick cuz i see variations when different quad players play
There will be a video about holding a stick at some point in the near future. Hang tight 👍
Good information for the people who doesnt live in usa
What's up with your pad? Did you put plastic on it?
No one ever told me this, and it's probably one reason why my scrapes don't sound the best... I wish I knew this when I was first learning...
Are there situations where you have to break the wrist?
