I've marched a lot of indoor (World and Open). I teach a whole lot (High School/Indoor PIA/World/Private Lessons). Your videos are ON POINT. Keep making them. I feed these videos, like candy, to my students in the off season!
Hey, so I have been drumming for a while but I have just recently gotten really into it. I have been working on my wrists everyday for well over a month but my problem is that my left hand doesn't get a workout at the top of the forearm but at the bottom? Do you know how I could fix that? I have tried changing my grip and way I hold the stick but nothing has worked. Do you have any ideas that could help?
Ensure that you're staying relaxed and comfortably turning your wrist from the stroke. Sounds like you're using a lot of finger in your stroke which is where a workout on the bottom of the forearm generally comes from. If you close your hand and press your fingers into your palm a few times while putting your other hand on the bottom of your forearm you'll see what I'm talking about. So think about having your fingers loosely wrapped around the stick and turn from the wrist for the stroke.
