Soloing with Moeller Strokes over "Blue Monk"
In todays post I wanted to illustrate some applications of the Moeller stroke around the drum set in the context of the song "Blue Monk" by Thelonious Monk. I have been developing my Moeller stroke technique for some time now using the Caravan Warmup, which I have described in detail in previous posts. In this video I am singing and thinking of "Blue Monk" with a head-solo-head format. In my solo I will use several applications of the Moeller around the drum set. Try singing the melody along with my solo to stay oriented in the form.
