Btw I reserve the right to repudiate all of this in the future. :) Maybe this will be a blind alley, or a situational tool for certain kinds of playing.

Here's Nate Wood talking about it in depth with Mark Guiliana (who clearly does something completely different, which goes to show that there's no one way):

I was on the Cities And Memory podcast stream yesterday - doing what I would do if I could record inside the abandoned submarine pens at Kotor, Macedonia: https://audioboom.com/posts/8419423-kotor-bay

What budo said. I am listening my way through close to 500 of these recordings now. Yours was a highlight.

Re: what I was blathering on about above, I've already gravitated more towards using the middle finger as a primary fulcrum rather than the back fingers, there's more bounce and it's easier to go back and forth with the ride cymbal if I'm playing jazz. But either way has helped my wrist motion a lot, and gives a lot more control & power than relying on thumb & first finger and letting all the other fingers move with the stick. It's hard to explain but I'm still letting the stick move in the hand & rebound, and I'm working on more freely moving between the different fulcra for different situations.

i made this short instrumental alt tuning guitar piece i'm happy with. i tend to not have the patience to see a chord progression through but this one came together nicely. i feel like it could use a soft bed of noise underneath or something. suggestions welcome: https://on.soundcloud.com/Va2jV5iQ2rvZBDdn8
