Website Dedicated to Moeller Method
      Fri Feb 24 2006 09:32 AM (68.235.146.135)

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!] 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!
