I've been getting a large amount of tension in my left hand which runs from the back of the hand, all the way up the forearm until it hits the elbow (but absolutely never with my right) when practicing my rudiments at 160+ bpm. A local drum teacher even told me that this tension was acceptable! Am I to understand that if I practice all the stuff that these tension-free drumming DVDs offer, that I can actually get RID of this horrible tension that I've been struggling with for so long??!!??! It sounds like the drum equivalent of winning the lottery!

Take it from me - Playing with any kind of Tension anywhere in your body is UNACCEPTABLE!
Tension is totally unnecessary! And when you get rid of it, you literally be able to play all day long and you'll feel better at the end than when you started.
My Concepts of Tension Free Drumming Series will show you how to approach drumming from a totally new perspective.
For more info and to see what other drummers are saying about it, go to www.TensionFreeDrumming.com.

Received the DVD today and all i can say is, Outstanding!
Like there are true Masters in the Eastern part of the World which one can study Music with for an entire lifetime,
We've got Masters like mr. Meligari here in the Western part of the World.
I'm looking at probably the most comprehensive and outstanding Education drumming-material available!
The way Bill presents the principles of the tensionfree drum-concept is the best i've ever seen.
Methodic, pedagogic, and crystal-clear explanations makes this an educational Milestone of Drumming.
Not to mention the Karatescene, which is worth all the money in itself. Thought that was an FX at first, lol. Buy This!

I'm loosing the grip..

Bill,
Is this DVD a good start for beginners to learn both how to hold the sticks and where to generate the force from?

I'd also like to hear TB's view on the 2nd finger fulcrum, as I use it myself. Although my grip slides around depending on what I'm doing (matched/trad/2nd finger/1st finger). Bill mentions it as being an advanced technique. I'm guessing that it shouldn't make too much difference.. as long as its 'tension free'!
[edit] Oops I finally did it.. I replied to the wrong thread - oh well its still related!
Here's some more feedback on TigerBills DVD:
- ordering it was a breeze; it arrived in like 3-4 days in my mailbox
- I liked the presention; it felt like a one-on-one lesson. Bill explained everything clearly and concisely, and put the right emphasis on the key points. So many drum videos just brush past stuff and you're always wanting more explanation! Or even worse; those drum videos that lack any kind of explanation.. so in that respect I'd give it 10/10.
- at the start and finish where TB plays on the Pintech e-kit; I'd really like to hear TB wind out on acoustic drums - I'm a bit of a purist that way! ( I understand the point of course - the 'future of drumming' and all that. I just hope that in the year 3000 I'll still be able to sell my killer acoustic kit for a bundle! (and that human aging can be prevented)
- Overall: thumbs up!

My DVD was designed for beginners and professionals alike. Beginners will learn the correct Tension Free Techniques including stick grips, etc., while pros will learn how to modify their approach to make it Tension Free!

I cover the 2nd finger fulcrum and explain when and where I use it on the 2nd DVD. Stay tuned!
BTW: I'm still shooting for a late August release date for the book and Volume 2!
