Hand Technique Essentials
I can safely say that this technique will be very different for each and everyone of you (beginners or professionals, talented or not). No matter what techniques you have previously studied and used, this, the Merlini Technique as the great Virgil Donati called it, is something that will surely lead you to experience new mechanics of movement, therefore different sensations along the entire forearm, such as a muscle warming (burns) and tension in the wrist area. You will be able to generate and release an enormous elasticity that will allow you to reach speeds that are extremely superior to the BPM that we are all used to call “fast”. I want to say that with this technique it is possible to easily reach 300 BPM with alternating strokes while with the classic “Finger Technique”, “Moller” “Wrists” etc. you can only achieve 200/220 BPM on average. There are also unique cases but in general these are the speeds that even a very skilled drummer can reach with standard techniques. Many people ask me how I managed to develop and implement this technique: the answer is simple, I needed to speed up the single stroke without stiffening the forearm or using the fingers which I consider dangerous movements for tendons and muscles in general, besides the fact that, however, as already mentioned, it is not possible to accelerate much above these thresholds. In 2005 I realized that despite intense study and the application of numerous techniques, I was struggling to speed up both the right hand and especially the left hand.
