Get Dave Weckl's vid "back to basics" .....he has some stuff regarding the fulcrum on that
Until then....practice slow single strokes (one hand at a time) using only your pointer finger and thumb
to hold the stick (no wrist action)

First of all we're past that.  And if you read the previous posts you would know that I just apologized. 

Secondly, dont just come in here asking smart-alik questions and you hav'nt even introduced yourself.  You know what this is, youre probably a veteran lurker steppin out of the shade to get some sun huh?  Well, welcome to LGM.  What is your name?

...Calm down Gentlemen.  Let's sit down at the table...

...D-H...Go get us some kool aid and some Popeye's Chicken....don't forget the buttery biscuits and napkins. 

...Okay, here's my question:  Why do you want to strengthen the fulcrum?  This is a very weird question.  ?/? ?/? ?/? :-\

..by the way, I'm asking very politely.  You must first know what a Fulcrum is.  That's why this question is very, very weird to me.

Strengthen a Fulcrum?
Thats easy. Go from 8D's to 2B's.
That is definitely a stronger fulcrum.  ;D ;D ;D

LOL!!! my name is Barnaby...and yea i have been playin for like 11 years now...but i am still no pro! lol...trust me dude...i have ALOT of work to do!

And thanks to everyone who gave some advice on how to make the fulcrum stronger! And for anyone wondering why i ask this question, it's because when i play for long periods of time, sometimes the stick tends to start slipping from in between the index finger and thumb of my left hand....im trying to get rid of this weakness...

These are my notes from the “Secret Weapons” DVD

Chapter 8: Fulcrum

1.   The point or support on which a lever pivots.
2.   An anatomical structure that acts as a hinge or a point of support.
3.   An agent through which vital powers are exercised.

The essential part of the Grip is the fulcrum. All grips and techniques rely on the fulcrum. The amount of pressure you apply should remain constant through the entire motion of a stroke. Do not squeeze and release the pressure in the stick while in motion (play). Find the sweet spot doing the Balancing exercise-by dribbling the stick with the other hand. Once you have find the sweet spot  (which is the point where the stick bounces with most economical efficiency) keep the fulcrum there.


Get this DVD, study it, absorb it and apply it.

my bad...for anyone who doesn't know what the fulcrum is, it is the part of a drummers grip....it is the part of the grip where the stick is held by the index finger and thumb....and as far as the reason why i want to strengthen it, i stated my reason in my previous post lol
