T.P. Blog- Lesson 3- Keyboard Technique In The Front Ensemble

So, as marching bands begin to pick up their rehearsals, I decided to spend a little bit of time with mallet technique and how that relates to the front ensemble.

I mention Tom Burritt, and his Percussion Axiom TV. Here is the link to PATV ( http://thomasburritt.tumblr.com ). Check it out! He has some great stuff going on there! His latest episode, #66, details some great stuff on Steven's Grip.

I welcome your comments and suggestions! Please leave them at http://totalpercussionblog.blogspot.com.
