- Jacob's Expertise: two major specialties are Hand Techniques & Coordinated Independence concepts for drum set -

It's only logical, since Jacob studied with Jim Chapin, 20th century’s most influential drum set educator. And Rick Latham says, of Jim Chapin "The father of drum-set coordinated independence".

Those who apply themselves to instruction can benefit from:

Mastering all 40 P.A.S. Rudiments (master is significantly different than “knowing” - Hand Technique: Basic, George L. Stone (Morello), and Moeller Method)
Reading - Learn &/ or Improve standard single line rhythmic notation, Sight-Reading, 3 & 4 way Coordinated Independence. Including Embellishment Concepts, Drum Set Chart Interpretation
Limited Rudimental & Orchestral Drumming Concepts
Coordinated - Independence - Basic, Intermediate - Advanced Levels - "The GOAL is to free both hands and feet from dependence on one another. Developing the ability, without breaking the rhythmic pulse, to successfully embellish the music in any given style(s)." Jim Chapin
Stylistic Analysis Studies - Rock, R&B, Funk, Latin, Afro/ Cuban
Jazz Studies for 2 & 3 way independence (Swing, Bop and Post Bop) "Comping" and Concepts of Improvisation Fills & Solos (beyond the clichés)
