[Masterg715]

So what your saying is that its all in the wrist? and the fingers are only used when necessary?

Beautiful!

I always take into consideration the intelligence of the source of the criticism. I don't worry about any of them especially like moonstone667. Intelligent channel worth nothing. A moron in my opinion equal to his..........

[TheDustyspears]

Why do you people question this man? Look at his speed and dexterity. Every drummer has flaws, but Dick Cully is lightyears ahead of any of you, I'm sure. So why try to criticize?

[moonstone667]

his left hand just looks bad to me?

[cadaverr]

Powerful, clean, even, effortless, just great. Still can't get over that sort of pumping motion from 04:44 on in his right hand. That looks like a moeller motion, but its not. I really don't know how to do it. It looks to be so simple and obvious, yet so tricky. Damn.

[cadaverr]

I had some reservations towards Cully in the past but now I'm actually grateful thats hes keeping Buddy's style alive. Seth Davis, a good friend of mine, is also a great fan of Cully so, theres no denying his immense wrist/arm technique. Although a little bit slower than matched grip as for as counting the strokes goes, trad. grip more than makes up for it in endurance and power. This is such a beatiful demonstration of a single stroke roll.

[Gr1mgurterbl00]

why is your left stick so far into your hand???

[drumminman49]

The stick is held there because it is behind the balance point and takes advantage of the laws of physics. For every action there is a reaction and gimmicks and methods like Moeller are unnecessary.

[benjiontenors]

@drumminman49 but, it does cut of the resonance of the stick and reduce the effectiveness of the left stick being able to get the drum to "speak." Because of this the sound of the hands becomes uneven. Not that this really matters in a drumset setting where your hands are on two different surfaces, making two different sounds, but still. Also it takes away the leverage gained from the natrual stick rebond. Essentially, playing with half a stick cuts out reliance on rebound.

[drumminman49]

@drumminman49 ---- I want to thank you for your question. Actually, the balance point of both sticks is identical, which I have documented in my instructional videos. It's an optical illusion in your eyes and mind that they are different. You have opened a new direction for those that are still puzzled by the traditional left hand grip.

@drumminman49 Hey Dick Ronnie here My both uncles were in music. Uncle Nick Riviello was in Les Browns Band on tenor, and My uncle Bill Miller was with Sinatra for 45 yrs. I Played Sax young and got disinterested in it and started drums but cant match your style but still love it. You Must see this kid I found On YouTube...His name Is Dylan Elise, from New Zeland... Young Kid and hes GREAT..Hope you like... Ronnie

[drumminman49]

Your PASIC introduction was enlightening and distrurbing to me. I've performed in Lawton, OK with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra under the direction of Buddy Morrow steps away from PASIC headquarters and attended Ohio and Atlanta. Your introduction states it all both visually and audibly. NEUROTIC!!!! WHERE'S THE MUSIC? THE EMOTION? SCARY!!!!!!!!!! SAD.........
