Thanks for this clear explanation! This is my very first look at tenor drumming and your video has given me a wonderful first insight into the basics. Cheers.
I've been to two practices and held the mallets for the first time a week ago. We started with backward spinning but I think watching your example will be helpful. You make it look so easy!
Any tips for the mallet cords becoming tangled when trying this flat flourish? I’m just a beginner and struggling with the catching and twisted cords :(
