Quote: "I dig your playing big time and wanted to see if you do any online lessons or skype. I am trying to get my single stroke up and it is around 107 with or without Moeller but past that it is a strain. I am the guy that played with Herbie Hancock and the Headhunters. I have good chops but need to hit the next level and you are there. Dig your big band drumming man lots of fire. " Mike Clark circa 2014 - (Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Tony Bennett, etc)

Moeller Method

Moeller Method, Learn the same "time-tested" concept from someone who studied "one on one" with Jim Chapin (20th century's most influential drum teacher). Jacob has taught hundreds of students, he's uniquely qualified to specialize in Hand Technique Development - Moeller Technique . Every student, young and old, student and current professional, male and female, is offered an opportunity to take their playing to the next level.

This concept, when mastered, improves your speed, adds control, increases your endurance and power. It can open up your overall playing of drum set to a more relaxed fluidity of movement at many tempos and is applicable to ALL styles. For more advanced concepts, browse here.

"Moeller made you play things with a continuous motion," Chapin said in a 1981 Modern Drummer article. "The motion was the message. You made the motion and the stick played it. After a while, it almost played itself."

(Sanford) Moeller analyzed everything and stressed taking everything apart. If you played a paradiddle, you would learn what each hand did by itself. So from the time Moeller showed me that, I was able to think in terms of doing one thing with one hand and one thing with the other. That was the reason I got into the things that later developed into my book, 'Advanced Techniques for the Modern Drummer'." Jim Chapin
