It takes someone like you to care enough to "fill in the blanks".

For some reason, I missed the fact that you played drums.

Thanks for the info.



I REALLY enjoy our occasional visits.

Thank you Russ, I am glad you learnt something new! Now, I am pretty sure what Louie Belson was referring to was the "cross-over" technique that drummers like him, Joe Morello, and Buddy Rich were all so great at.

Check out the beginning of this Louie Bellson solo at around 30 seconds into the video. That is a "cross over" or some people call "cross sticking" (not to be confused with "cross stick" where the stick plays on the rim, like in bossa novva...."
