Book Description
DRUMSTICK SPINOLOGY™ TAKES A HUGE STEP TOWARD HEALING "Healthystix" for Your Brain Santa Barbara musician, teacher and author Steve Stockmal proudly takes his hugely successful book and DVD DRUMSTICK SPINOLOGY™ to the next level. DRUMSTICK SPINOLOGY™ was recently discovered by Dr. Kurt Kuhn who applies it to his patients. Dr. Kuhn says: "It probably seems odd to see a section in a book on drumstick spinning written by a doctor, who spends his days chasing down lesions in the brain. Imagine then how it was for Steve Stockmal who got an e-mail from me telling him how his book Drumstick Spinology was the best thing since sliced bread for kids with ADD/ADHD and other learning disorders". (See Drstix.com for Dr. Kuhn’s complete article) DRUMSTICK SPINOLOGY™ is the first book ever written and devoted to the subject of drumstick spinning (twirling) and comes with a 56-minute DVD. Drummers all over the world have embraced this book and made it a huge success. DRUMSTICK SPINOLOGY™ will now be introduced all over the world and as Stockmal says: "It is amazing and totally unexpected that my spinning would help children and adults with learning disabilities. Through my years of teaching, I have witnessed how much drumming and drumstick spinning has helped my students’ coordination, focus, and attention span, but Dr. Kuhn has taken it to a new and neurological level. We are happily spreading the news about this wonderful tool."
