CONTROL FOR THE ADVANCED DRUMMERWRIST AND FINGER STROKE CONTROL FOR THE ADVANCED DRUMMER Composed and Arranged by Charles §. Wilcoxon Edited by Richard S. Sakal This book is written for the purpose of assisting the modern drummer in developing and achieving a higher degree of stick technique through the coordinated control of the forearms, wrists, and finally, the fingers. Each exercise is an individual four-bar study in “swing.” The chythmic continuity is so arranged that each phrase is a progressive stcp forward in achieving this goal, or, apy chosen combinations may be grouped into innumerable Drum or Tom-Tom Solos Progressing from the arms and wrists studies, we proceed to the ultimate in drumming technique, the FINGER STROKE. This form of ¢rumming is by no means a new fad in the drununing world. It is merely another phase creatod by drummiog demands over the past many years. Great power is not possible, neither is itexpected. But, if the drumamer is secking fast, sharp and clean flowing technique, the FINGER STROKE is the “end."" Following are asic rules or suggestions on how to pructice and finully master this great ur Firs(--place stick in Ieft hand in a natural rele: © position approximate with thumb extended upwasd, Raise the stick with the index finger ion and.let the tip fol naturall finches from butt it hand to a well “up torthe practice pad or drum. This tap shoul! rebound ¥ ‘The principal is to keep theese taps or rebounds in constant moticn by tapping the top of the stick with the ex finger of the left hand oaly. No wrist action should be used. Practice until all rebounds are in rhythm, Now, place stick in right hand, in a well balanced position between the thumb and index finger. Move the middle finger to a natural position under the stick, Likewise, raisc the tip to a well “up” position and et it fall to ped or drum. With the right hand completely relaxed, this stick will also rebound. These rebounds or taps are kept in motion by tapping the middle finger upward ag; thygsnderside of the stick. Again, no wrist action, Practice until all rebounds are in chythrn. ula Sopa os 0.4) PS REGISTERED S) VERSION yi.
