God bless you All of those haha, I tend to divide my practice into half disciplined playing i.e sticking to patterns and un-learnt rudiments, staying in time signatures and half just jamming with whatever comes out and covering songs or playing my own groove to songs without putting any strong thought into it. Right now I'am changing my technique, being self taught I was using my shoulder/bicep/forearm's more then was efficient as my teacher pointed out the other week. Gotta get those wrists more central. I also tend to play open handed so I'am concentrating on staying closed handed atm. [/quote] I might also suggest, for your taking or not, practicing using just your fingers as well as your wrists. The fingers can give you the snap of power with the least effort and I believe the most articulate control comes from the fingers. A good practice I've used is trying to be as quiet as possible while still making coherent patterns, or trying to go as fast as possible while still as quiet as possible, a good exercise for control.
