Here is a requested video on the Moeller hand technique.
I explain the basic origins of how I learned it and how I do my own thing with it. I also demonstrate how I use it as part of my general technique on Snare drum and Drum set for grooves and soloing.
The equipment I am using for this video consists of:
Pad-Quiet tone drum pad from the 1990's
Sticks
75 gram Wenge Barrel tip Rick Dior Drumsticks
69 gram Leopardwood reverse tip Rick Dior Drumsticks
58 gram Rick Dior model maple Vic Firth Drumsticks (on the set)
Drums
Doc Sweeney Stave Drums in African Olivewood
20"x 16" Bass Drum
Toms: 8"x 8", 10"x 8", 14"x 14 flloor tom"
14"x 6.5" Snare Drum
Cymbals are:
Paiste Traditional 22" Light Ride
Paiste Traditional 20" Flat Ride with rivets
Paiste Traditional 16" and 17" thin crashes
Sabian HH 13" Regular Hi-Hats
Sabian 12" AA Mini Hats
Heads on toms are Remo Pinstripes on toms
Bass drum is an Aquarian Power stroke 1 head.
Snare is a Aquarian coated head
Microphones are a AKG C24 stereo overhead and an Shure Beta 52 on the Bass drum

There’s a great story on how Moeller rediscovered if from very old Civil War veterans when the US army needed to rebuild for WW1. They shuffled down the hall, Moeller gave then some sticks and they just sailed like hurricanes and Moellers eyes popped out. The drums they used were a mahogany cannon with a few in the Smithsonian. Very rare!

Hello from Italy. Just to say that it's fantastic to see a terrific playing by a great drummer. This kit sounds so good. Many people forget that Hip-Hop, Funk, etc. come from Jazz. In this video you show it well. We are a small group, nothing special but our drummer learned these techniques in the 80s in Paris & he is more than a fan of Joe. It's not strange at all that these drummers who know this technique very well have an almost perfect playing: clear, precise, fast and providing incredible dynamics. The push / pull + Moeller techniques should be taught in all drums academy School. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, beautiful to see. All the best! Z

The best demo/explanation of the 'Moeller Technique' I've seen yet. I sort of had to change to matched grip some time back and despite lots of left hand lead practice I just don't seem to get a relaxed controlled feel happening. My doubles and Paradiddles which were once pretty good are now shyte. I made my living as a drummer but now more of a "I can't quit" hobby. I'm 70 years old now. do you reckon it would be worth taking a Skype lesson (Or 100) with you. all the best to you.....Graeme from Australia.

WOW ??? WOW how many people can say that they studied with Morello? I just stumbled onto you// -you look and sound great also. I doubt if I could have picked up one of his sticks had he dropped it. I'm 67 now and hadn't sat behind a kit since my 20's, BUT I grew tired of playing my dashboard so I recently bought a new kit and I'm having a ball. I'm still far far away from having the ability to take lessons from you--I'm back to paradiddles with the metronomes' but I put the headphones on and pretend of what might have been had I actually had talent.

hello. please tell me what snare practise pad you use in your videos. i see you list “pad quiet tone”. a quick search revealed this to be a mesh product by sabian. is this correct? it’s just it sounds like a rubber compound to me??? i must say, it looks like a great practise tool, and i’d like to track one down. ps fantastic videos. inspirational, in-depth but lean - no unecessary waffle. breath of fresh air. huge fan. so much material ! thanks, you’re doing a GREAT job sir.
@rickdior
@rickdior 4 года назад
Hi Alan Thanks for watching. That is an older quiet tone pad. The new ones are made by Sabian. They are not mesh. It is a real drum head. Never use a mesh head for practicing as the response can do some serious damage to your hands over time as well as sanding down the tips of your sticks.

Hey Rick using moeller technque works well but had shoulder surgery a few years back but been playing since 1966 on and off but since early 2019 ive devoted 4 hours plus a day but occasional pain in shoulder but using a 70 gram stick and later go to 5a or even 7a speed is there but im 67 yrs old and having to be careful Im strickly a traditional player. The faster the easier . Any hints would help. Thanks Rick and just an additional i stretch prior to my work outs and very relaxed when I play. i play alot of Rich style.

Hi Jim I have gotten some other questions on this and will address it in a question and answer video soon. You will want to do the lower, sidearm version of the Moeller technique instead of the original high sticking version. In other words come in from the side instead of the top. I have 2 partially torn rotator cuffs and I can do that without too much trouble.

I Love it! "Kind of a Bruce Lee move..." In fact, at the very slowest speed, with the large motions, it is identical to Tai Chi movements! And I wonder whether or not that Moeller was aware of that. Tai Chi has been around for at least hundreds of years and there have long been serious practitioners in the NYC area, where Moeller eventually resided, after growing up in upstate NY. Two of his students were Gene Krupa and Jim Chapin (Harry Chapin's dad, BTW). I learned this technique from the great jazz drummer, Ed Soph, who stressed the importance of remaining completely relaxed at all tempos. Although Mr. Soph merely demonstrated Moeller tech to me a couple of times, I went on to explore it in depth, on my own. Lastly, the I believe that the photo on the cover of the book "Syncopation" shows the Moeller technique being done. Thanks very much for this great video!~
