...and that's why you love the speed bag truck, Playing to LIVE Rock Music just off stage with the Drummer of Foreigner video taping you. It doesn't get any better than that.
I'm always amazed at how solid that board is....Speed Bag

I got it big time a couple of days ago and the bag took the skin off the tip of my nose. Showed up clearly on camera. BLAM, right in the snoz...Speed Bag

I see Punch Drumming, (for teaching purposes) as two styles, or methods of hitting the bag too music. Both styles will match the bag beat to the song, but depending on the song, you will have to speed up or slow down to jump between the styles. Usually the melody and beat pattern of the song will determine which style I use, and I often jump from one to the other to vary the workout or add some creative variety. I don't really think about it when I punch for fun myself, but I normally separate it during presentations for teaching. It makes it easier to understand exactly what I'm doing, (or what the bag beat is doing..) Explaining the bag beats is harder in words, but easy to understand when you see and hear it with explanations.
I teach it more from a "speed bag punching" point of view, but I imagine SSP will start teaching and explaining it more from a music drum rhythm, musician standpoint. As a professional percussionist I think he interprets the bag rhythms a bit differently, more percussionistic (if that's a word ) than I do. I think he takes the "beat" a bit deeper than I do also, and his punch drumming to music shows a unique interpretation of bag beat that I "hear" when he does it, but I probably wouldn't punch to that way myself.
It's gonna be fun watching and hearing all the new ways to express the bag beat as more punch drummers develop!Speed Bag

I crash and burn on songs all the time, but most of the time you just keep on punching, like dropping a stick. I could post an "outakes" video, with the bag flying off, the bike falling over (with me on it...), the CD player falling over and getting conked in the nose. I'd have to dig up a bunch of those scenes logged into the 40 or so S-VHS videotapes I have full of punching.
