I caught a little glimpse of the Dave Matthews BAND NY concert last night on tv. Amongst other things I noticed that Carter B plays in an open-hand style (I believe that is the correct term?- doesnt cross his arms)
For those of play this way- how do you feel you benefit from playing like this?
Looking at it from an non-drummer perspective it is quite odd that we play part of the kit with crossed hands- it seems to go against all the other things we learn around the other parts of the kit in relation to timing and moving around the kit etc.
I am looking at trying to broaden my drumming horizons as I am in kinda of a inspirational slump at the moment- and I wondered if this kind of playing helped to open things up?
