@mdgab321 I Disagree,music is purely subjective.What you may consider great others my think is horrible.But the technical monster is undeniable to whom ever listens to him or her.
-
that was the case for me.when i played the drums in high school.i knew i wasn't a great drummer.so i would concentrate on playing a good beat at the right tempo.and people thought i was a real good drummer.but i did have fun.

this is one cool guy,wish i could have met him

P_erfect advice ..develop whats really in you . I got an instructional cd by him 15 years ago...& the part i enjoy most ? ....the wise words and storys .
Interesting man ....reunited with his son harry . R.I.P.

Thats exactly the whole idea for me. A perfectly technical drummer without music inside him is just a worker. A drummer that makes music with his playing, even if he can only perform just a single beat in time, is at least a genious.

@9Skateboard7 I think that open handed and cross handed are equally difficult, the easiest way is always the way you have played for the longest time, I don't think there is any real inherent difficulty in one or the other. Actually when you look at it from a physiological standpoint open handed is more natural than crossing your hands.

@sikory to bad im a lefty playing open handed is not easy and playing the opposite way pisses the other drummers off at my school
-
That is the best advice I've ever heard about being a musician. Love it when masters like Chapin or Vai give such simple tips.

I love watching Jim Chapin play in these videos. I just read that he passed away. I can't tell you how sad that makes me feel, struck by grief. I always wished that I could meet this man. I practice the Moeller method thanks to Jim. I've been working on it since 1999 and still can't accent the second beat worth a darn. But Jim Chapin will always have me trying and I will never quit. Thank you for the inspiration and I hope you can live on through the legions of those you've inspired to try.

@travisismyidol Yes i have and its hardly impressive to say the least , im a fan of Travis's drumming but he's no where near the skill,experience and wisdom of this old fart god rest his soul . do some research for fucksake and you'l realize Travis is not as good of a drummer as u think he is.
