This is Mike Clark who once played with Herbie Hancock – as well as the likes of Chet Baker, Vince Guaraldi, Fred Wesley, Les Claypool, and Charlie Hunter. I am not the hugest fan of hit Bass Drum sound – but his beats are fantastic.

Jerry Seinfeld Dave Weckl and Derrick Pope clearly explain the Moeller Technique (aka. The Moeller Whip), one of my favorite stick techniques. It takes a bit of practicing to be able to pull off and keep time – but once you get the hang of it, the motion becomes very natural. I believe that it also may lesson some of the carpel tunnel effect generated from finger and wrist controlled sticking. This is another great exercise to work on in an apartment with a practice pad.
Gotta love the Coors Light T-Shirt. His explanation is about as clear as they come though.

looking my way
Crying out for something...
They can't fill their stomachs
with enough to satisfy
The hunger growing Needing something real"
