Check this out. I have some of his books left over from a website we were doing. If you're interested let me know. This is very interesting stuff I think. I mess around with a metronome doing this.

According to my buddy historian Jim Hamilton we r the only culture to play drums with our feet. I know drummers all over the world now do it, but according to him it starts here. He says it comes from tap dancing. He comes from a line of tap dancers.
He said many of the early drummers could tap and many were tap dancers.
So listen to this video. He says this is where brushes come from. This is amazing.

"Everything Happens To Me" - a beautiful song written by Tom Adair (lyrics) and Matt Dennis (music). At Berklee this morning squeezing in a little practice time before heading to some presentations for the 5 Week Program. Playing one of the school's Yamaha vibraphone. I like how my Vic Firth mallets (M39) sound on it.
I thought I'd share this because I've gotten a lot from it. It's very helpful getting your mind into the game as a warm up exercise and if you're new to playing tunes in all keys, it's a structured exercise that helps make the relationships and trains the ear. Give it a try. All keys of course.
