Looks and sounds like you have made a lot of improvement, doing some nice phantom punch elbow combinations. Good work.

The Art of the Bag

Wow! Looking great, J-G! So, just how long have you been punching??? I know you joined the forum in January, but were you punching prior to that? You've got some great combos.
I'm not sure how other punch drummers decide on what music to punch to, but a lot of it for me is my mood. This past week I have been hitting on my small Leone bag. It's fast, so I've been punching to some music by Maroon 5. There's some rap in one of the songs ("Payphone"), and it's kinda fun to match the punching of the bag with the cadence of the rap. It forces me to have total control over the bag. Lots of fun for me.
If you enjoy music, just plug in your earbuds and put on some good music with a good beat. (This works best for me because I want to hear the music so I can match the beat of the bag with the beat of the song.)
My suggestion would be to stick with some basic combos at first, no fancy stuff. Otherwise, you'll get all wrapped up in executing them and you might not be in time with the music. I think this is a common problem with newbie punch-drummers. It's not so much about the fancy elbow punch as it is with simply keeping time with the music. It takes lots of practice. Believe me!
Start with basic single and double punches in the beginning of the music... Maybe some linking, or downward elbow strikes as you progress into the song, along with inward and outward elbows, etc.
I'm sure Alan can give you better pointers than I can. I am still a rookie at it myself!
BAG ON!!! Your skills are fantastic!sigpic Contact me anytime for information about Deville Swivels Email: DevilleSwivels@gmail.com

I definitely believe the fact it takes a lot of practice to punch drum. I haven't exactly focused on it, nor ever played a song twice in a row to try. The most I've done up to now is half heartedly trying to match my rhythm with a song on the radio without much luck. I'm really looking forward to working on this aspect of bagging now!
Thanks again for the pointers!

Thanks guys! I think I'm overdue for a new video but there wouldn't be a whole lot of new stuff in it. I've been incredibly busy now that summer is here and when I get some spare time to bag I work on smoothing out my linking and I play around with a little punch drumming. Hopefully I get a little better at punching drumming so I can post a new clip sometime soon.
