Ok, here we come to the part were I start to enlighten you about playing drums. This blog will have many of these philosophies and I hope you will take this seriously and try is before you burn it.
Feel
When a drummer plays he/she plays towards the sound of the drums. A drummer rarely appreciates the feel of playing, meaning the way you move from surfaces directionally and the rebound of the stick.
The main reason for this in my humble opinion is lack of technique. The Moeller Method is a technique I have been practicing for about 4 months now and I use it to put more feel in my drumming. It is advised by my teacher that for the Moeller to really work for you the free stroke needs to be learned first. I am now trying to train my mind to the feel of drumming and to let the sound produce as a secondary reaction. You might think I am neglecting the sound but in actual fact when I play this way it sounds more clear and sensitive than playing after the sound.
