  • Jim Chapin wins against weckl, as he studied directly under moeller himself.

  • why the hell on every Jim Chapin video is there an argument about Travis Barker... Travis Barker is one trick pony drummer... Jim Chapin is a legend. I can think of dozens of drummers more talented than Travis Barker... Carter Beauford, Tony Royster Jr., Dennis Chambers... Hell even more minimalist drummers like Dave Weikel, and Yuval Gabay. However Jim Chapin is a legend, and people like Travis would still be in a garage sucking if it weren't for the knowledge of such a great like Chapin.

  • @HassbeatDrumChannel I wanted to say something like that - the way I see it, you don't rely on the rebound, but you do use it to your advantage, which is different.

  • @richcapo

    There are so many techniques but chops necessary to execute.

    The only advice I could give is to stay as loose as possible, but most importantly do not always lift your wrists or arms up.

    Keeping your hand down after a strike, and allowing stick rebound 90 degrees then catch, is a perfect exercise for developing moeller whipping action

    Most importantly releasing tensionis crucial to sounding good. same with bass drum, after a strike you want to heel/down to release

  • awesome

  • Hey Catz! I studied with both of these guys when I was in high school on long island. "Dependent/relying on rebound" does not mean there is NO rebound. It simply means there's more to it than rebound. That's true. However, it's physically impossible to play this technique with dynamic control, up to speed, without any rebound. This example is not up to tempo.

    For practical up tempo application, check out my low moeller video for the right hand. THANKS!

  • oh hey thats dom famularo!

  • Jim at 0:37 "Is this noob serious? Really?"

  • What Jim was saying. Remember this is a short clip so it's out of context. His words I'm not relying on the rebound at all. What thus meAns is that after getting the moeller down it teaches ur muscles the movement and u then can do it on any surface. But it starts from a rebound approach. Getting more for less. Just get jojo mayers DVD.

  • Kids!!! tarvis barker is a top drummer, but it has no relevance to the video. dick heads! Just appreciate a 82 year old legend and master of drumming.

  • look at young little dom xD
