Brief Introduction
Learn how to develop the french grip in order to play the drums with great technique.Description
In this course you will learn everything you need to know about developing great technique for playing the drum-set. Specifically, this is an introductory course for developing the french grip. The french grip can be recognized as the "thumb on top" technique. In my opinion it is the first technique to be learnt, because it allows the student to develop an understanding of the concepts of "fulcrum" and finger control. Beyond that, the concepts that are taught in this course are based on the "Moeller Technique" and inspired by the teachings of Freddie Gruber, Jim Chapin and Bruce Becker.
