Two ways to practise
with your mind switched on
Critical Comping (in 4:4)
Stop drilling patterns you can never use. Build real 4-way coordination, phrasing and interplay that says something in a musical context.
A lesson from “Sticking Brain”
The opening lesson from Daniele's new book: groups-of-eight and groups-of-six stickings, plus the most common accent variations.
Most traditional methods drill hundreds of combinations that engage coordination, but never the mental processes you need to actually use them. Sound familiar?
It is like learning every word in the dictionary, then saying:
“High today the shining and I'm sun out walk today for is sky going.”
It makes no sense. So why does your comping, or your sticking, sound like that? Let's change it.
