Believe it or not there are raging controversies, strategies and systems for the physical motion of hitting the drum. Each system has its share of partisans and philosophies behind it. Here at TD we feature the Moeller Method. This is an ancient system but recently (the last 15 years or so) has been in vogue. It stresses "stress free" motion (how’s that for irony?), utilizing the natural bounce of the drum and elliptical flowing movement. The videos and accompanying PDF's are a very thorough and entertaining way to learn and appreciate this movement based technique. TD plays the ideas against different rhythmic backgrounds so that you can also feel, hear and see some practical applications. Grab your practice pad and play along.
