  • How do you keep your shoulders and arms loose while playing? I grow stiff as I grow slowly fast into the rhythems.

  • Dear jctey,

    I play mostly with my wrists but practice simple beats over extended times and focus on relaxing while you play. Sometimes saying relax relax relax while playing is helpful for me when I start cramping up

    Barefootdave!

  • Can't wait for your website!

  • Thanks Erik, with Christmas coming and I'm moving back to California on Friday it will be at least the middle of Jan. Also I have some videos coming with me on kit doing double bass technique. Enjoy

  • I have tried to show the beats broken down as paradiddles, triplets and open rolls. I just then put them together in combinations as I go. You must work these different beat patterns slowly an be able to play them seperatly good enough so that you don't have to think about them. I will be putting up a web page in the near future where I will be selling short teaching videos for #1.00 each. Thanks for your comments. David Johnson (barefootdave)
