I had shoulder surgery a couple of months ago on my right side so I started working with my left hand on my a pillow , I’ll start implementing playing open handed when I start drumming again. Good advice and lesson here!
Glad the video resonated with you. We put so much mileage on one hand over the other. Amazing how much stronger the weaker hand feels when you use it to play the hats on drumbeats.
It just occurred to me that , in baseball, a naturally right handed batter that wants to become a competent switch hitter, batting left handed as well as he bats right handed, has to spend way more hours focusing and practicing on his weaker left handed swing / hand to eye coordination to realize that goal. Much like your lesson here Marco.
It doesn’t have anything to do with our limbs, it’s our Brain, if your right handed you are right brained. Your left hand will always be weaker. Just practice a lot, your non dominant hand will get better, but never as good.🥁✌️
Yes, I agree that weak hand will always be weaker than strong hand, but developing the weak hand to it's potential will balance out your overall drumming. The idea is to put some much needed mileage into the weak hand so that when you play, your weak hand feels better, stronger and does not hinder you as much.
I actually notice that my left has a finer technique that I wish my right has. I think because it's played in mostly as single position its whole life. What I really would like us to get the brute strength of my right into my left and the subtlety of my left into my right.

Gary Chester's New Breed Book is the go to for ambidexterity.
I totally agree! Great book! I may feature it on my Drumbook Studies video series
Dont Stop Believin by Journey uses a left hand lead on the hi hat and right hand on the toms.
Oh, I did not know that I will try that next time I play that tune. Thanks!
Where can we get the book
Try amazon
