How do you use finger techniques?
When you're playing the drum in the upside right position keep your fulcrum firm between your thumb and your fore finger's first knuckle and wrap your remaining fingers around in a relaxed manner ensuring that at least your second and third fingers are in constant contact with the stick.
How does finger drumming work?
The ability to finger drum transforms a pad controller into an instrument. Instead of being limited to step sequencing or programming, the accomplished finger drummer unlocks the range and expression available to musicians. The result is creative possibility shifting back into the producer's hands.
