I don't know how many of you use this technique but I thought I'd share it with you since there are a lot of threads about speed and getting faster.

Practicing rudiments on pillows is great for speed and control because the pillow doesn't let the stick bounce. This means that you need to work harder and control your sticks more. This will help you to get faster and develop better coordination and control with your sticks. Try it. It really works wonders for your overall drumming development. Has anyone else used this?
