Avert67 Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Jojo has the fastest hands I have ever seen. His left hand by itself can play faster than most people using two hands. He also has the fastest heel-toe technique I've ever seen. He can play faster than most metal drummers with one foot, it's insane. I've tried to get it down...but to no avail.

BAC oboist Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Great timing for this discussion. I just introduced traditional grip to my beginner 5th graders (We've been playing mallets up until today). They wanted to know if any other percussionists use this grip. Thanks for the list!

Matt_S Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I'm pretty sure he played matched grip, but I just want to brag that I saw Billy Martin last night, playing with MMW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
