@@KyleAnastasio I would have to first find out where one is; especially in the base solo. The camera angle shows your grip with your left hand. I've been trying to get this adult student who is a beginner to hold his sticks better and use his fingers but teaching technique is always the tough part for me so any tips would be helpful. I'm going to get his e-mail address and send him a couple of your videos (with your permission of course).
@@spercoco Thanks again, my friend. I'm actually working on changing my grip, since it's pretty archaic compared to some of these young studs. I've always had my fulcrum on the index finger, which is a bit inhibiting. Now way behind the curve, I'm trying to develop it to pivot over the middle finger giving a little less strenuous effort and hopefully more endurance, maybe even speed. One way I wish I had tried sooner to develop my grip was, yes, here it is again, The Moeller method. There are plenty of videos on it, but none that seem to stick with me in learning how to improve on it.. So, I keep working at it a little each day but in no way at this time have I been able to actually integrate it into my playing. Maybe just a brain block but that would be the way to start your student out. But, you can show him all the videos of mine you want. I can also put a video together maybe just showing him static grip at first. But you know the whole rebound catch the stick stuff. Hell, you started me out!

@@KyleAnastasio Yeah I remember watching a video recently of some really old dude who always gets mentioned; it was not Moeller and was not Freddie Gruber but some other name that always pops up that I just can't remember. He was sitting there and showing Luie Bellson and Bellson was doing the playing and this guy just explaining. It was almost funny to see someone like Bellson as a student. I learned nothing but was entertained. I've never played golf but I would imagine technique is so important in many sports. I've always been just flying by the seat of my pants. Never learned the proper way to play tennis either; I just run fast!
Jazz/Fusion is your wheelhouse. Tough tune and nice job!
Thank you much Steve! Definitely one of the more challenging ones for me.
