Jim saved my hands with his technique.
I used to get nasty blisters that would bleed. Especially on my left hand. I play traditional grip. Jim taught me at NAMM yearly out in Anaheim. He helped me to find the sweet spot for my drumstick in my left hand. I gained power and control with his technique. His exercises helped me to use the correct muscles and to change my grip.
My drumming style was changed by Jim Chapin in 1991. I am a much better drummer thanks to Jim. He also helped my son Drew. Drew said he learned more in one hour with Jim than years of lessons.
Jim is the man!! He has left a mark on drummers that will endure forever.
Thanks Jim.
Your friend and student,
