Open stance technique? help needed.

ZeAaron - Sat, 06/27/2009 - 11:47 | 6,320 views

Recently, ive been trying out open technique, (hi hat and bass pedal on both sides, allowing the ability to lead which either hand or foot) and i love it, right now, i have my set up similar to Travis Orbins, which is crazy fun to play.

(to he his setup, follow this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cAlRjO1oSw

but anyway, i need your guys help with exersises to help develop the use of all four pedals and using the floor toms on each side. thank you

A good way is to find Dom Famularos book "The Weaker Side" I think its called. He helps tremendously with open technique. I play the same style and I just take a song I know very well and try to play it righty, then lefty, back to back. If anything, take a basic snare book and apply the rudaments to your feet, keeping a steady 4/4 beat with your hands. I'll work on posting a video with some techniques I picked up over the years and see what else I can do for you!
