True. As in most disciplines, slow is smooth and smooth is fast.Play it slow, so you can play it fast. Master slower speeds for whatever pattern or passage and THEN work on faster.

I saw a video of Billy Cobham get some pretty good speed with the double traditional grip.I saw this morning on the "speed grip" which I've tried before too-without tape though. It works for sure but I wouldn't call it a speed grip. I guess I should have copyrighted it ROFL!YgKuFbAj1dmgYhULiamXuGyDQFg0wnc View attachment 108463
Do you have any sources for this? This goes against all the published and accepted literature on brain and skill development.I'm going to go against the grain here. I would advise to go past the speed that you can do it perfectly, and make some mistakes.
I've been reading a lot about how learning occurs in the brain, particularly physical skills learning. The best approach would be to make mistakes, lots of them, but still getting it right a few times. Those few times trigger some chemicals that signal to your brain that he has to take care of it during your sleep.
That, and focusing on one thing, and even deeper, on one aspect of that thing, makes learning possible.
You'll find this article interesting Mighty Joker-besides a timely topic it's has references that you can follow your interests-which you'll find more references (it will go back decades-so you'll see how ideas have changed over time). PubMed is open to anyone-you can find lots of free publications (or buy if you really, really want to read it)-still abstracts are free and they tell what you want to know without details in a lot of cases. When you search on Pubmed post key words in strings-not a question or sentence. I started my Phd in Neuro before shifting into more developmental/cardiovascular/cell signalling stuff. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8319366/
I can see the outline of your balls in that one pic Art.
You must be very proud!
Rubber bands would make sense. It doesnt look like he is doing anything to get the bounce other than bending his wrist down. If a rubber band is stretched across his two fingers, and the stick placed between the rubberband and his palm, the rubberband pushing against the stick would create the double stroke as it tries to push the stick back against his palm.I’m trying figure is that tape or rubber bands on his fingers.
Yep I was thinking the same thing. That'sRubber bands would make sense. It doesnt look like he is doing anything to get the bounce other than bending his wrist down.

Seems a bit like cheating to me.

e-bike, e-scooter, the one wheel. None of them are acceptable as anything other than transit. It is not exercise. It is not work. If it does not require you to move it, it is a vehicle and should be treated accordingly.e - bikes

I did try it on the pad. It feels weird. It makes the stick one with the fingers. If I hold my hand out flat, it makes the stick point skyward. If I then make a fist, the stick becomes horizontal. I'm not sure if there are any benefits to this as I stopped after about 30 seconds. Too many years of the normal way to really care about trying to change it now.But you know you're gonna sit down behind your kit and try it out, just because.
Another use for those hair ties!
Until I ride by them on a real bike with a small emp generator and leave them stranded.I agree...but over on the mtb forums, you would be torn apart for saying that...

If you need an e-mtb, just get a damn dirtbike and be done with it.
That’s great advice, always worth revisiting any challenge.BTW... here is a trick that i wish i had known many years ago.. i used to practice rudiments for hours at a time on 1 rudiment.. at some point i switched to doing like 1 pattern for 10 mins.. then other things.. come back to that first pattern 20 mins later and it's like it solidified more in my brain and was MUCH easier.. do that a few times and it's locked in. This worked so much better than just hammering away on 1 thing for long periods.
