I posted this link on another thread but it didn't get much traction.
Here is a link to a very comprehensive lesson on the Moeller method. BE SURE TO READ THROUGH THE ENTIRE SITE AND WATCH ALL THE VIDEO CLIPS. At the end, there is a link to additional material applying the method to drumset (some of which is duplicative), but is still worthwhile.
The first thing you'll notice is the odd grip used in the "original" Moeller method which, apparently, civil war drummers adapted from European military drummers. The right hand grip is similar to the grip you would use on a motorcycle throttle. ![[Eek!]](/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif) You'll also notice that the Moeller method includes not only the "whip" idea, but also the "rebound" idea involved in the Gladstone method.
Very interestingly, about 1/2 way through, you'll find a video clip demonstrating finger technique with the Moeller method. You're in for a VERY interesting surprise with this one. Enjoy!

Did anyone notice the video clip with the finger technique this guy used, with the index fingers of his left AND right hand? That just blew me away.

Tony Williams used the pinky finger fulcrum. He said thats were he got his power from.
The finger control is what got me on the video clips. I keep my elbows out and thumbs up for finger control. The middle, ring and pinky are in control and my index is the fulcrum. I do, however, use the pinky a little more when I use wrist after reading a Tony Williams article. I have gotten more power from my wrist stroke because of that.
