This video features the new Resnick Pavilion at the Los Angeles Contemporary Museum of Art (LACMA). Some of you may be familiar with Ben’s video Empty School in which Ben took a Canon 7D and filmed himself playing various percussion instruments and sounds throughout an empty high school.

Today’s post is the second half of Charlie’s episode about the Burton grip. He covers single independent strokes, playing runs, and a hybrid version of the grip that helps accommodate playing some of the newer repertoire.
