Hand Technique Essentials




This technique will differ for each of you, whether beginner or professional. The Merlini Technique, as Virgil Donati calls it, can introduce new movement mechanics and sensations in the forearm, like muscle warming and wrist tension. You can achieve speeds exceeding 300 BPM with alternating strokes, unlike the classic Finger Technique, which reaches around 200/220 BPM. Though there are exceptions, these are the typical speeds for even skilled drummers. I developed this technique to speed up the single stroke without stiffening my forearm or using fingers, which poses risks to tendons. Despite my studies and techniques, I was struggling to improve both hands, especially the left.
