Hi guys, I know there are hundreds or even thousands of threads/posts asking about how to develop the speed of DSR. And the answers/the ways of practicing i summarize is to "Accent the secondary stroke from slow to fast tempo, i.e. rR lL rR lL. Someone suggests using the push/pull technique to emphasis on finger control, and someone suggests focusing on the stick height of wrist strokes. Those also inspire me.
But I found Jim Chapin provide a complete different view on doing the DSR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz1oUOtla9w, his way to practice DSR is also accent the secondary note with each hand, started at 0:56 of the clip, he showed several ways to accent the note - moeller technique, simple up/down stroke(as i observed), and said "is not so good for particular DSR". Later, he showed "his way" to play DS. "Based on my observation again", it's like tap on the first stroke and accent the second note by bringing your elbow closer to your body and pulling the stick away from the drumhead (the "ow"). To use a larger muscle group to produce a more powerful, even sound DSR.
I rarely find other drummers using this technique on youtube/drumming teaching clips. Is this actually a famous technique I've missed out long time? Uhh, or anyone wanna discuss about what Jim Chapin said and my observation.
