Still defying traditional loosey goosey and getting good results. Since I basically "invented" this method for myself to correct and solve all the inadequacies of the _correct_ way I was taught, it's a slow ongoing process. Blazing speed is still in the distance but that's a function of the direct drive nature of this method. What is most prominent about this wrong way approach can be labeled with one word:
DAMPING
When you keep a full grip on the sticks instead of flapping around, the inertial issues all but disappear. Basic time is nearly a function of simply hearing it. Detailed articulation akin to speech inflection becomes as natural as umm, speech.
EFFICIENCY
Ok. Two words. Physically articulating the joints from your back outward takes far less effort than slapping the sticks with your fingertips.
That's all for now.
