I see so many drummers who can play 5 or more notes on the ride cymbal using push-pull or drop-catch technique. However, they almost always stop playing with the other 3 limbs when they do it. This causes a disruption or hiccup in the flow of the music.
In this video, I'm going to break down what I think the cause of this is and how to practice using all 4 limbs when playing push-pull on the ride.
