Introduction
This eBook is the companion to the Great Hands for a Lifetime DVD. Inside, you’ll ind
some detailed discussions about the material presented on the DVD and some new
exercises and concepts. You’ll also ind some enlightening thoughts on various subjects,
like practice time and structure and even a few additional exercises that weren’t included
on the DVD. However, this really is a “companion” text and is not designed or written
to stand on its own (without the DVD). The DVD is going to show you how and why to
execute certain drumming motions at the proper time, so there is no need to bore you
with repeating myself here. Rather, this text will be an additional visual stimulus for the
student to help reinforce some of the most important concepts presented on the DVD.
I’m also going to use these pages to give you some more insightful thoughts on things
that can often go wrong when practicing these concepts. The things that, if you aren’t
careful, will actually slow your hands down instead of perk them up. These are potential
“technical traps” I’ve helped students avoid, so give them a read to avoid falling into
them yourself.
Throughout the DVD you hear me say time and time again, “Easy!” Well, what if it’s
not so easy for you? First thing: Don’t panic. At some point, you will get stuck; it happens
to everyone. Say, for instance, you just can’t get a bouncy feeling in your rebound
strokes and you can’t visualize a fulcrum. You can do one of two things:
A:
B:
Get frustrated, give up on this new technique, and just do what
you’ve always done
or
Stay calm, smart, and realize that it will come if you stay focused, aware,
patient, and accepting of the simple truth that nothing good in life comes easily.
If you’ve been playing with poor technique for years, you may believe it’s very dificult
to change your approach. And you’re right. You probably thought I was going to tell
you it was easy, right? Nope. It’s easier for brand-new students to incorporate all this
technical material, since they haven’t had the chance to develop poor or unhealthy
habits. But so what? There’s absolutely nothing here that anyone— even if you’ve been
playing poorly for decades—can’t incorporate into their drumming with calm, focused,
and patient practice.
Once again, without the DVD to guide the student in proper execution, this is all empty
information. So please, use this eBook with care, and defer to the DVD for examples of
how to play speciic exercises. And please, as I say in each of the Groove Essentials ™
books, “Take your time and enjoy the journey!”
