538 - Dave Elitch Live Clinic: New Course - “Your Mind’s Ear”, Q&A From Our Audience, Inspiration from Non-Music Sources
Dave Elitch has been teaching privately for over 20 years and has developed a reputation as the technique/body mechanic specialist for drum set. He has helped many of the world's best players as well as top educators "get out of their own way" by being as efficient as possible in regards to conservation of motion and energy.The more we’re able to remove our bodies from the equation and let the instrument do the work, the more we can relax. The more relaxed you are, the better your time, tone and feel will be. Let's not forget that we're hitting wood, bronze, and mylar with sometimes a huge amount of velocity, so this conceptual/physical approach will also have a massive effect on stamina as well as shortening muscle recovery periods when performing live or in the studio.
As a player, Dave Has Worked With: Weezer, The Mars Volta, Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, M83, The 1975, Killer Be Killed, Antemasque, Juliette Lewis, Big Sir, Crash Kings, Daughters Of Mara, and others.
