Every once in a while, I start thinking, Why am I posting another video? And I wonder if any of my videos are of any instructional value?
Over the months, I have adapted my own style/technique of punching in order to "get the job done." That is, to punch – in rhythm – with enough power to make the bag rebound AND to make it sound like part of the song I'm punching to.
Here are two samples from my daily 1-hour speed bag workout. The first song – "Only A Fool Would Say That" a 70s Steely Dan song, is upbeat, but a comfortable pace to punch along to, and I kept the punches and combos simple.
The second song from 2001 called "Short Skirt/Long Jacket" by a group called Cake, is a really catchy upbeat tune, and I picked up the pace a bit in that one. I tried to focus on creating musical speed bag combos/patterns – all the while making sure to make use of each fist equally.
Anyway, I thought I'd share the fruits of my speed bag labor (of LOVE!) with some punch drumming, for what it's worth…
I hope that these videos do indeed prove to be helpful to potential punch-drummers. I hope this will inspire postings from other members.
I really like hitting to this song by Cake, it has such a catchy beat and quirky lyrics...
