The Bounce Stroke

Gaining the proper technique for allowing the stick to bounce will affect your speed, timing, and feel. It is one of the key building blocks for everything you play.

This Bounce Stroke course, along with How to Hold Your Sticks and Turn Your Wrists, is one of the fundamentals for learning proper technique, allowing you to gain speed and control by learning to follow the bounce of the stick. In Lesson One, Ralph Humphrey demonstrates the bounce stroke as he taught it for years at Musician’s Institute and Los Angeles College of Music. In Lesson Two, Don Lombardi describes how Freddy Gruber explained the bounce stroke and reviews key elements of Lesson One that are so important for you to learn. You will then learn how to apply the bounce stroke with other strokes, which will prepare you for The Outside Release ® Motion and everything you will play.
