lifetime warm-up i don't think any of us were prepare for the reaction received questions from all over the world came pouring in some about a particular part of the routine and also specific questions regarding approach an execution not had a lot of request to release a technique dvd for a long time and i've always been a technically oriented player one listening is issues especially drummers who have total commander-in-chief but i've resisted making one myself because honestly there just so many out there that there's one space where there's a lot of information as probably technique and everyone seems to have his or her own way of doing it's a really why ads isn't all annoys but that's exactly why we're here today i'd like to clear up some confusion and offer an alternative to some of the technique oriented videos that many of you may have already seen the subject matter will be getting into today has probably cause more heated arguments amongst rumors and just about any other the old saying avoid talking about religion and politics should also probably include john technique technique it's rumors all hot and bothered and by people i mean all of us kabhi come dangerously trench and what we perceive to be the one right way to plant so by definition just let anything else is wrong and i thought the poor way to approach anything especially music because you've closed your mind to other possibilities rather i suggest thinking about various technical approaches as opportunities to explore chumming from a different physical place and let go of the chains of one method being totally right and another being totally wrong as you drawn through the decades to come do hope we discover that even techniques you didn't think had enable entity at all all reveal themselves that actually have some merit if they're applied with common sense and musical sensitivity for example when i was very young i took some lessons with the brazilian master drumming who while showing me the secrets of saba showed me this there's a technique where you will your finger of the steak and just basically plot the stair i was horrified and i listened respectfully while knowing that who had learned of all right way to play would never even think about playing so barbaric lee but as it turns out that we're playing the snare was a fantastic option to extract a different flavor from the job i couldn't get any other way so once i hand clenched my fist and let you go of right and wrong and started thinking in terms of options my musicianship benefited greatly it's easier to have a close minded and open one but i implore everyone watching to give it a try trust me you're going to love what happens to your drumming today we will not be discussing any method it will be talking about some of the names you may know like more or gladstone for adler i believe there is a bit of an unhealthy obsession going on with some the name-brand methods that have recently seen in the explosion in advocacy if you were in a particular name-brand method like the more system you should keep it and use it but be certain that it's just one way to play not the only way there is no such thing as one method that works for everyone everywhere that easy with all of the meeting technique there would be just one way to play it would work for everyone and we wouldn't even need to be here right now but we all know that's not the case i come from the school of getting it done not the school of getting it done this way because until your hands off off the normal like you i run across various methods and i agree with more than others but i've never run across the world bought out method that had no value whatsoever to bring us back to us i don't have a method i'm a hybrid of so many different teachers an experience is that what comes out of the is more of the basic set of concepts that can be applied by the player in any way they want for example i was raised with what i call jess chops good fundamental technique for sure but limited in power in favor city then at fifteen years old i'd join the famed wrong ones of the bail version drum corps talk by than a solution i wound up a completely different laid a play engane ascetic chops i'm never thought possible however i discover that all those great shops of drunk or didn't directly translate musically to the drum set he was to perfect two-step it needed to be blended toned down so i went back to my would seem to suggest reading and i saw that if you took the best of both worlds i had a great arsov my disposal and i was a perfect fit for the drum set speed power clarity sensitivity dynamic range in action control all the basic things everyone wants to have it in there fundamental technique i'm gonna show you all that stuff today
