Bro how can I get chops and technique as good as you? Rudimental Ritual everyday?

[@jspearsmusic]

lol 🙏🙏🙏. I shed a lot of rudiments every day that I can. I also study the symmetry of my hands and the relationship in grips and motion. I also practice on extremely soft/ dead surfaces and in front of a mirror.
