Drawing from decades of experience as percussionist with the New York Philharmonic and as a world-renowned educator, Morris “Arnie” Lang explains all the facets of wisdom gained in his studies with Billy Gladstone. Topics include principles of the Gladstone technique, parts of the stroke, and body mechanics. An approach to the rudiments is covered in detail, as well as various other topics including accents, matched and traditional grip, and a segment on applying the Gladstone technique to the drumset. In addition, Lang presents a look at how he has carried on the tradition of manufacturing the legendary Gladstone drums with his own company, and discusses many aspects of his career, including working with the New York Philharmonic, auditions, working with a conductor, knowledge of styles and more.
