Pure HYPER hahaha
I've actually been practicing some of those single-handed stretcher chords (1-4, 5-8, etc). My handspan has improved so much after playing for a while. It also appears that my handspan is like a
millimeter away from getting a 5-9 combination (by getting I mean actually touching both at the same time).
And now for Arkie's jackhammer explanation:
I have learned on ASC playing that one can treat jackhammers the same way they treat 1-handed rolls. It'll feel a little awkward at first, but it should help significantly (I've FC'd the BS Bebob EX patterns, so I at least know that it works). First, lemme tell you that it involves much more wrist movement than finger work. What I do is I span my fingers out and rotate my wrist back and forth, much like a roll. Use your thumb for one hit and your ring/pinky fingers for another. Keep in mind that this will involve a lot more wrist rotation than on a normal roll. Now you don't necessarily have to hit your hand on top of the button, which I find actually makes it more difficult; instead try hitting it more on the side.
I hope this helps; I'll try to get some pictures of it soon.
