I recently bought his Technique course - get out of your own way. He really seems to break hand technique down to being very simple.
There is no mention of upstrokes, downstrokes, tap strokes. Finger control is not needed - a no no. No mention of push/pull technique.
His whole technique comes down to learn how to control the rebound - how to get what he call's a "true double".
The only exercises mentioned in the course are related to working with a metronome and achieving the "true double".
At first done at slow tempo's , then when locked in on that build up the tempo.
So I am wondering for those who studied with him - does he make it that simple working in lessons with him?
What king of exercises for the hands does he give once the "true double" is achieved.
I mean the 2 he gives are always something to be worked in. I imagine he must recommend working thru rudiments
as well, and perhap's some reading exercises (Stick Control ?) - just using his technique methods.
Anyway I'd love to hear back from anyone who studied hand technique directly with him.
