I'm blown away but the independence of each hand i bought a Chapman stick like 6 months ago and im practicing (I'm a drummer), but it takes a lot of time!! I mean, i will spend as much time as necessary, but i feel i can not do anything right now.
Thank you. 40 years ago I was in the same boat. I have a piano background, so I applied some of that knowledge to my approach. I also used ideas from the Ted Reed « Syncopation » book to help gain some technique.
I started thinking of the two sides as bass and snare. At first using one note and one finger on each hand and then adding notes and fingers as I felt comfortable. For finger combinations I used the factorial approach ie 4 fingers has 24 combinations. Then it was a matter of playing through various scale and arpeggio combinations in each hand, always inverting what I was working on so that each hand got a different workout. I still use this method to work through new ideas.
@@tommcmahon1061 wow!! ok i like this idea (also i worked with that book a lot already, but on the drums), so i'm used to patterns and combinations. Thanks!!!
I love how the Chapman stick has been renamed the baliset. Makes me happy as a dune fan
That's how I pictured a baliset as I read it. I thought they were real and they are. 😉
insane talent
Thank you.

@@tommcmahon1061 wow!! I would be very interested in knowing how you applied syncopation to the stick. Great job!!

Super cool tune, but I didnt know Wayne Shorter was Irish??? Wow!
Yes. He was actually born in County Cork and named Seamus O’Giorram. I found this out on the dank web, so it must be true.
