Conquering the Push-Pull Technique: A Journey of Discovery

Conquering the Push-Pull Technique: A Journey of Discovery

July 28, 20241 min read

Ever revisit a drumming skill you tucked away years ago? That's exactly what I'm experiencing with the push-pull technique. Remember seeing Jojo Mayer dominate it at the Modern Drummer Festival? Mind. Blown.

I dabbled in it back then, but life – as it often does – took priority. Fast forward to today, and I'm revisiting this powerful technique with fresh determination. Let me tell you, it's been a journey!

The initial awkwardness is real. That "oh my gosh, this feels so strange" phase is a hurdle we all face when learning new skills. But here's the beauty: with dedication, that awkwardness melts away, replaced by a newfound sense of control and fluency.

The past few months, I've been diligently incorporating the push-pull technique into my practice sessions. And guess what? It's starting to click! That initial discomfort is transforming into a smooth, efficient motion. It's incredibly rewarding to see my hard work pay off.

The Power of Perseverance:

The push-pull technique is a fantastic example of how focused practice unlocks new drumming possibilities. It's not just about the technique itself – it's about the commitment to improvement, the willingness to push through challenges, and the joy of discovery that awaits on the other side.
