duncan patton's february 1996 percussive notes article 'timpani: basic sound production' taught me so much when i was in high school. and now, we're lucky enough to have duncan himself showing us those same 5 steps to building a legato stroke.

    The idea of letting go of the stick in order to gain more sound and control is what drummers need to master on all kinds of drums.

    Another Fantastic video Rob, thank you once again for bringing this stuff to us. Something so clever and yet so simple. What Duncan demonstrates is beautiful, pure art in motion. He makes it look so easy and yet it is incredibly difficult! Wondrous and wholly inspiring for any artist. well worth putting in the effort to master this technique.

    Remarkable how different the sound is, and Duncan is playing on the less worn side of the head and getting a better sound! Fascinating

    Another step in demystifying drumtechniek and gravity. I was already approaching techniek this way. Seeing a more experienced player explaining this is a confirmation I really needed. Thanks.

    Thank you, Rob! This is an awesome addition to my other favorite video of yours, 4 steps to a smoother timpani roll video (and the one with Eriko Daimo)

    French grip technique is the best for smooth sustained rolls. German grip technique is good for loud timpani rolls

    Rob, not being a trained classical percussionist; I'd like to know how this technique can be utilised for the drumset?

    SO GOOD! Thanks for hooking is up with this, Rob! Great information for every level of player. Could we get a follow up on rep and how this approach is applied with mallet selection and articulation changes? I’m thinking Peter Grimes interlude 2, Fidelio finale or Götterdammerung Funeral Music, for example
