Rick's Chop Busters- 36 challenging hand exercises
Here are 36 hand exercises from my books Advanced Coordination for Drum Set and Hand Percussion and Lets Go Camping. These were all written for myself or for my students to improve the execution of difficult musical passages with a variety of hand techniques. I demonstrate each one and talk about the techniques used to play them. Most of these are difficult so please start slowly and make sure you stay relaxed. if you are interested in the books contact me at [email protected]
