Another Fantastic video Rob, thank you once again for bringing this stuff to us. Something so clever and yet so simple. What Duncan demonstrates is beautiful, pure art in motion. He makes it look so easy and yet it is incredibly difficult! Wondrous and wholly inspiring for any artist. well worth putting in the effort to master this technique.
Another step in demystifying drumtechniek and gravity. I was already approaching techniek this way. Seeing a more experienced player explaining this is a confirmation I really needed. Thanks.
Thank you, Rob! This is an awesome addition to my other favorite video of yours, 4 steps to a smoother timpani roll video (and the one with Eriko Daimo)
SO GOOD! Thanks for hooking is up with this, Rob! Great information for every level of player. Could we get a follow up on rep and how this approach is applied with mallet selection and articulation changes? I’m thinking Peter Grimes interlude 2, Fidelio finale or Götterdammerung Funeral Music, for example

Remarkable how different the sound is, and Duncan is playing on the less worn side of the head and getting a better sound! Fascinating
What a beautiful sound he has!

glad to hear it's useful!! hopefully the one from this week is also as useful :)
The idea of letting go of the stick in order to gain more sound and control is what drummers need to master on all kinds of drums.
Rob, not being a trained classical percussionist; I'd like to know how this technique can be utilised for the drumset?

stay tuned! we may have something else coming out next week :)
French grip technique is the best for smooth sustained rolls. German grip technique is good for loud timpani rolls
What mallets are you using in the video?
we're using mallets designed and made by duncan himself.
Awesome
Any plans on making a staccato stroke video?
we may or may not be covering a bunch more stroke types in the next video...
Nice.
WOW.
👍
