Hi Bros-
I am currently using a Tight-Grip to expedite my stroke on Rudiments that uses alot of Wrist-Works (I don’t know what is it called) ...it's a great Exercise. However I want to learn how to use/expedite Moeller Method correctly (Sanford A Moeller - Jim Chapin, Joe Morello uses this)
I heard this method can gain tremendous speed (also not so tired) – I heard it uses Elbow Lift, Elbow Turn then do the downstroke. There is a (Large, Full, Half & Low Moeller) – The benefit of this Technique - they say is “Get Multiple Sound From One Motion”….they also say – if we can master this Techniques it will help us a lot in our Rudiments.
On the other hand, the Velocity Techniques is very similar to “Stone Strokes” by George Lawrence Stone.
The Difference Between The 2 Techniques is summarise as follows:-
Moeller: - Whip
Velocity: - Bouncing A Ball
Moeller: - Starts in the down or “set” position
Velocity: - Starts in the up position.
Moeller:- One motion for multiple sounds, a very efficient technique.
Velocity: - Individual motion for individual sound, very muscle intensive technique.
Jeff Queen: (a 4 times International Solo Snare Drum Champion) uses both the above techniques in expediting his strokes………
PS: - you know all the while when I was learning – I thought that the current technique that I’m using is the only or the best techniques – but it is not (I learn to be more opened) as I realize different Techniques call for different situation – and the Very Fast & Good Drummers uses a mix of these Techniques…and I do not know the other 2 techniques.
Is there any of you out here in SOFT who can actually help by SHOWING how this 2 techniques…especially The Moeller Technique is been done technically in a correct sense??????….I believe in the Value of these 2 Techniques....can show me in our drum meetup????
