HANDS
Having good hands on the drums is crucial for achieving control, precision, and dynamic expression in your playing. The way you grip your sticks, the fluidity of your wrist motion, and the sensitivity of your fingers directly impact your sound. Whether you're playing fast, intricate fills or laying down a solid groove, proper technique allows you to execute each stroke cleanly and consistently. Strong, well-developed hands also prevent unnecessary strain, reducing the risk of injury over time, and they give you the flexibility to adapt to various styles and tempos with ease. Ultimately, mastering your hands unlocks a greater level of musicality, enabling you to express yourself more effectively on the drums.
