Seth Davis

Seth Davis is establishing his name worldwide as an educator and clinician by possessing insane speed, incredible power, innovative and musical application to polyrhythyms, and complex thought provoking odd-time signature musical compositions.Seth's knowledge of hand technique has gained him the most attention. Seth is the author of The Moeller Killer which many feel is one of the world's most innovative and powerful hand techniques.

The Moeller Killer is a specially designed training routine Seth created and has taught for the last 10 years. Seth has broken the program down to a simple science that will isolate and build the correct fast twitch muscles. To isolate these muscle fibers to build speed and power, it is vital to have a proficient practice routine. The Moeller Killer is a 12 week program designed specifically to build speed and endurance with the single stroke roll. Correct high-intensity intermittent training is vital, hence speed is not determined solely by genetic factors. With consistent endurance training, muscle fibers can develop more and improve their ability to cope with and adapt to the stress of the task at hand. The Moeller Killer is a combination of the bicep, forearm, wrist and fingers working in unison.

Seth Davis is currently preparing to shooting the highly anticipated dvd entitled The Moeller Killer "Mastery of the Single Stroke Roll" on May 22nd 2009. Release date expected for late summer.

"Speed like that is somewhat genetic. I wonder if any research is out there for drummers... Someone like Seth has a high percentage of fast-twitch muscle fibers - fast twitch (FT) can move very rapidly and also get bigger when developed. People like ma have a high % of Slow Twitch (ST) fibers - ST are known for endurance, but cannot contract as rapidly (thus the name slow)." - US
"Seth here had to demonstrate insane endurance to have even won a world championship. No, I understand how everyone wants to justify why people can do things they can't, when most times its only because they're better." - US

"This reminds me of how i used to play back when i was worth a damn on drums. My wrists got all fucked up, had to start from scratch at age 14. Now i play withtrad grip only kaz my idols do. Trad still dont make any sense to me. My big thing was mastering Wipe Out. This is the only guy ive ever seen as a clinicin whotells it like it is. He's a one in 10million shot. And i know hes more powerful than Any of the big pros out there. This guy can leave Weckl, Chambers, any in the dust! trust me" - CANADA
"Perfect example here of how all that "moller" garbage, bouncing sticks are only things that people who ARE NOT natural born players think about and think"that's the answer" or gay solution for real playing like this guy is doing. This is the mentality of a natural born player. Single strokes by wrists, max speeds longperiods.Max speed differs from "ruff"speed, but be able to excute ruffs within your "all day long" max speed. It becomes easier than talking. ALL FUCKINGDAY! CONGRADULATIONS KG!!" - CANADA
