Hey Stephen, great lesson and I’m definitely going to work this into my practice routine.
Is there a certain speed at which I should start changing my technique? For example, do I need to pinpoint a bpm where I need to switch to finger technique (French or German)? Or should I try and work on building up fast speed with the left hand without having to switch to another technique?
I’m finding that when I play rudiments and push the speed, I’m so limited by my left hand not being able to play strokes as fast as my right hand. Not sure if I should be working on wrist/moelar strokes, or if I should be switching to finger technique when I reach certain speeds.
Do you have any advice?
I’ll also go and watch some more of your technique videos in the meantime.
Good question…you should switch to fingers at some point. Or, you could be throwing via a Moeller method. But there is a tempo at which it makes sense to switch to fingers. That’s different for different players so pay attention to your bpm’s and notice when you should switch. You’ll need to work that transition to smooth it out. As well, target your left hand in your practice. Spend a good amount of time on it alone until you begin to see it at least slightly catch up with that right. Until then, your rolls will be held back regardless.
