Note in the future: When I say I'm making a short video...it never is! [Sighs]. Anywhoo, this is video 1 in the double end series starting with player Colm Murphy. I find his method of playing interesting in that he's utterly backwards to how I hold and play [normally]. It's very effective but there some things that always catch me out.: 1) How he holds the drum front-to-back. 2) That most of the tones are closed handed bass changes that can be emulated in nearly any other way on the drum from a center-hold or a rear-hold with the tone hand. 3) The sticking, but that i will get to later in another video. This started as a short video of what should have been 4 minutes and turned into a 10 minute crash control course on how not to fall over in a chair!
