The Moeller Technique Workshop - Beyond The Moeller Technique: A Master Class With Henrique De Almeida;

Introduction THE MOELLER TECHNIQUE WORKSHOP BOOK By Henrique De Almeida Copyright 2014 The materials contained in this workbook were compiled to be used in conjunction with my Berklee College of Music private drum instructions, drum set clinics, master classes and drumset group classes. This workbook serves as an invaluable, organized and compact resource of hand technique development materials. The book can be used as an introduction and progression of concepts that goes beyond the Moeller Technique. The main purpose of the workbook is to be used as a tangible and measurable program that can guide the student through a progressive path of studies that will lead to musical applications. It introduces the student to a considerable amount of possibilities using the Moeller Technique musically. The materials are inspired by some of my favorite Moeller technique exponents: Jim Chapin, Vinnie Colaiuta, Steve Smith Dave Weckl, Jojo Mayer, Dom Famularo, Danny Gottlieb, Joe Morello among many others. I encourage the research and awareness of the artists mentioned here. It is my intent and hope that by diligently studying the lessons presented here, the student will be able to develop the ability to incorporate the Moeller motions, sequences and rolls to time keeping, fills and solo ideas. Have Fun! Henrique De Almeida Boston, August 2014
