DRUM TECHNIQUE ESSENTIALS

There are a lot of books out there that teach you the basics and other fingerings you need to acquire greater freedom on the drums. For my part, I've tried to focus on a few rudiments in particular, and to apply them in a variety of ways.
Most of these rudiments are used extensively in modern drumming, yet few different exercises dwell on them. We're often content to play them over and over again until we've assimilated them, trying to execute them ever faster. While this is an interesting method, limiting ourselves to just this poses a problem.

By only working on one and the same exercise for a particular rudiment, the brain is not stimulated and we lose ourselves in a muscular automatism that can be detrimental to our performance when we are in concert or rehearsal. We don't get our brains used to adapting to different situations and quickly making the necessary adjustments for a new action.
What's more, a certain lassitude can set in when you perform the same exercises, and this reduces the productivity of your work. By being more stimulated and focused, you'll work better and achieve better results!
