nice video jo jo but.... what is this technique for...?

[TheAAXplosion]

@Thermingt0n ..... thats what she said.

[pulse13]

Why is the movment from the 3 o' clock to the 4 o' clock necessary?

[anomaly768]

@Revolution15now It's The Moeller System... it's a technique designed to give you unbelievable power and whip action precision with very little effort.

[DrumminItUpxxxBooYah]

what type of snare is that?

[muszyngr]

the opening credits are a bit of an overkill

[sebaer1]

@Revolution15now oh where to start..

becoming a better drummer for one. playing with your heads instead of against them. saving strenght, play fast, play with feel, etc... there is no end in possibilities =)

[supahsekzy]

I'm not a drummer, but it seems like Mayer is a really good teacher

[karstd]

@karstd and accenting things using the whip-like motion to give it more power. To explain the first thing I said, if you hit the drum while on the up-stroke with this technique, you can do the faster one-handed stuff

[karstd]

@Revolution15now fast 1-handed playing... blast beats.. etc.

[odderfful]

@Revolution15now this way you can hit the snare with more power than usual and so have a good sound without puttin any useless strenght..

[ben2nd]

@Revolution15now its normally played with 3 notes with each hand and makes it much easier to play faster
