Love these two tecniques. I dont use them for speed, but more to develop a lose grip and feel.

Any1 use these two?

moeller i use pretty much constantly .. its very natural ..
freehand i can kinda do .. but I havn't worked it enough to get past it just being a gimmicky
B.S. kinda deal.....

open close (or push pull whatever you would like to call it ) Is something else I use often .. and if you never tried it I suggest you check it out

O! I always thought that free-hand was the push pull? Your talking like, throw the stick down then bounce it again through the rebound kinda deal? Cause i always though that was freehand? lol

I think freehand is all about following the stick and its natural bounce. So your wrist would make every stroke, it just uses the bounce to get back up. Open/close is one hit on the wrist's way down and one on the way up snapping the fingers closed. So you get 2 strokes for one up and down movement of the wrist by utilizing the fingers more.

freehand is the rim roll that johnny rabb teaches

lol, swell. I think i use a weird hybrid of all three of them. lol. The way I treat it, is that the fulcrum on the stick up about 1 inch infront my thumb and is moving up and down in kind of half moon/pendulum (spelling??) kinda motion. The fulcrum reaches the to of the shape when its about to rebound and I just give it a kind of "push" back up to tap the drum in the same motion before the rebound and then let it rebound naturally.......Sounds like open/close in a way?????

Actually change that. The fulcrum stays the same, its my hand that moves in that shape.......
