A frequent visitor and fan of the site, Taneli Kiiskinen, submitted his book, “Finger Knot,” and gave permission to post it here for others to enjoy. “Finger Knot” is a stick control concept presented in phrases of 3 or 4 strokes with moving accents and flams that can help develop better rudiment execution and make learning hybrids easier. With 140 pages of patterns, you’re sure to find this book useful! “Finger Knot” has been added to the Technique Builders page. Check it out and happy drumming!
