I tried doing the claw on my snare, and it sounded like GARBAGE. I think I might be doing it wrong though. Are you supposed to have any rotation besides the side-to-side traditional like movement like 9volt said? What I'm doing, I'm getting 2 very weak sounding hits, neither of which are anywhere close to the center.

I suppose this is one of those things that you can't do forever and eventually it will just click, kinda like hi-moms did for me.

edit: A little more practice... I've somewhat got it down. It's fun to mess around with.

This is just silly. Tricks are for kids, lol.

Try bending your hand downward instead of having it straight with your wrist. That'll probably help with the sound quality.

I can do it!lol...my perc. instructer can do it with of hands on one drum!

Welcome to the website with the guy who invented the double claw. The Hulka Helicopter.

Im fortunate enough to actually know the Second Snare from Cavies 1994. He's gonna teach me the claw hands on. I already got the original "Bunco Rules" from him too.....

Just curious... who's the "Second Snare from Cavies 1994"?

Im pretty sure he said Second Snare.
Chris Hall?

Hmmm, the '94 snare line consisted of the following 7 guys from left to right as you look at the line:

Dan Desena
Dana Slabaugh
John Wilmarth
Mitch Waldrep (Section Leader, Drum Sergeant)
Scott McCoy
Todd Sommers
Chad Kohler

No Chris Hall.

I know for a FACT he was on the snare line. He has had a name change since then. Let me ask him whats up, but I know he was there. I have to make sure it was '94, because in '95 Cavie's won the Championship, and he wasnt there.

He was 18 I believe and still in highschool when he played.

He and "Xanadu" wrote "Big Wet Box" (aka Bunco Rules)
