Tengo problemas para entender cuándo debo tocar solo con la muñeca y cuándo debo incorporar el movimiento del brazo cuando toco de forma tradicional. También tengo problemas para dejar que mi muñeca se mueva cuando uso el brazo, incluso cuando estoy totalmente relajado. Cuando trato de incorporar tanto la muñeca como el brazo, se siente como un movimiento antinatural y no se siente preciso.
Drumming should be a very organic thing, meaning movements happen in a natural manner. With the exception of really big and loud passages where you have to incorporate a significant amount of arm to achieve height and dynamic or fast rolls in which you must pump your arms, your arm should generally move as a reaction to your wrist moving rather than you consciously moving Think about it like this. There's a toy boat sitting in a pond. You toss a rock into the pond and it creates ripples that travel and move the boat. Your wrist is the rock, the ripples are the motion of your wrist, and the boat is your arm. If we were to do this in slow motion, on the upstroke we would see your wrist turn and your arm move slightly. On the downstroke we would see the reverse with your arm coming back down returning to its set position, then your wrist following and playing the note. The point of your arm moving is to add mass on the top of the stick to give a fuller sound. Try removing the sticks from your hands. Raise your hand above the drum, limp, and then just let it fall onto the head. Feel how much weight your arm has. The motion of your wrist is causing this weight to move, then when the weight naturally comes back down with your wrist, it adds sound.
