align="justify" class="style157"><span class="style162">Question:</span> Have you ever wondered why Buddy Rich was able to perform dynamically with power, speed, and musicality that surpassed other drummers? At age 50-60 you would have expected his physical strength to decline and muscle movements to become limited. </p> <p class="style157"><span class="style16"><strong>Answer: </strong></span>Unlike many modern methods that support "exercise-training" for muscle strength, his performances were based on a methodology, using the least muscle with as little effort as possible to produce immense power, control and speed. This methodology is used by many top-level drummers. The <a href="JacobKaye_InstructionalSamples.htm">Moeller Method</a> and "Constant-Release" are two such techniques, that are classified in this category.</p> <p align="center" class="style157">"Listen, I know you're serious.....but, let me ask you something....Are you REALLY serious?!" Freddie Gruber</p> <p class="style157">... perceiving the drum set based on nature’s principals. Breaking those principals creates tension and stress. The result - the person is going to be trying forever, and trying is not doing.....fluidity and <br> circularity of motion develop a more ergonomic approach to the instrument.
