Praise
For The
Isotonik
System For Your Hands
|
"The
Chopsticks have been nothing less than sensational.
I noticed results in less than a week.
Open rolls were much cleaner, rebounds were much quicker,
and for warm-up exercises they are unsurpassed.
I’ve been playing for around twenty years and haven’t
seen anything on the market that comes close."

"By using the Chopstick just ten
minutes a day before practice, my hands have gained speed, power
and precision. My
hands went from fast to turbo in just days. I
have been a drummer for about 9 years and I only wish I had the
Chopsticks when I first started playing.
I highly recommend the Isotonik System to any drummer
wishing to gain endurance in all areas of hand drumming."

"I have only been playing for about 9 months.
My instructor is real big on fundamentals, and at
50 years of age, I am not as nimble as the young guys.
The Isotonik System has really helped me to develop
hand speed and coordination, enabling me to develop
essential techniques.
I carry the Chopsticks everywhere I go and keep a
set by my desk. It
is a valuable use of otherwise idle hand movement."

"Having played drums for over 30 years, I have seen many
products that promise to help you achieve better chops.
I have believed that practice was the only way to build and
maintain muscle tone. I
was wrong.
I don’t fall for gimmicks.
I saw your ad and thought that this was just some cheap
device that would break upon the first rough usage and not do
anything to help with muscle tone.
I really don’t even know what possessed me to order a
pair (perhaps it was the money back guarantee).
When I received them, I was delighted that they are
extremely well made and very comfortable to use.
I have used my pair of Chopsticks for about 3 weeks… whenever I
get a chance… just a few minutes every few days. I keep one in my car to use when I am driving and the other
with my set. Wow!! My “weak” left hand suddenly wants to bounce the stick
like never before. Rudiments
that used to be uneven and slow now sound even and blaze along. My bandmates are amazed at the improvement in speed and
endurance.
Please use my endorsement to help convince other skeptics that the
Isotonik System is everything that it advertises… and more.
Thank you
for your outstanding product!
I really feel stronger and more confident!"

"At the age of 40, I finally acted
on a lifelong desire to play the drums.
I rapidly learned to play a few good rock and roll tunes on
the drum set. I then faced a setback wearing a splint on my right hand (my
dominant hand) for a year, having a surgery (a CMC reconstruction
and tendon transfer) and wearing a cast and splint for another six
months.
You can imagine how rapidly my dominant hand deteriorated to mimic
my off hand. To
complicate matters further, I jumped at a chance to begin playing
a marching band and right away insisted on percussion; snare drum.
An accomplished rudimental player I am not! Hence, your advertisement regarding the Chopstick drew my
keen attention.
After just 4-6 weeks of limited use of the Chopstick, I can tell a
major difference in both speed and control, particularly in my off
hand. I do not claim
to understand all the physics or the physiology of how it works.
I simply believe that the Chopstick will shorten my road to
“middle aged marching snare player.”
My best guess is that I will be able to master the
necessary finger-controlled 32 notes in roughly one-quarter to
one-half of the time repetitive practice would take.
I have considered getting a second pair to keep in my
office to use during those long telephone conference calls.
I was very appreciative of the service I received, also.
I needed the Chopsticks delivered in a very narrow
timeframe to match my travel schedule.
Your company was very responsive.
They returned my telephone calls, left messages as to the
shipping arrangements, and gave a follow-up number.
I believe that they were fully prepared to ship a second
package, if necessary, to ensure that my order was filled by my
deadline. I was
pleased by their response then and am pleased to recommend them to
fellow drummers now.
Chopsticks: a simple
concept with extraordinary results.
Take the 30-day challenge and see how Chopsticks can help
you.

"I
received my first Chopstick around three weeks ago.
I was able to recognize the energy-‘positive strain’ on
my individual fingers, joints, palm, the first day!
I’ve used other hand exercisers – and though some
strength building does go on, what I found to be so unique with
the Chopstick is that its design allows each finger/joint to be
exercised independently. This
readily increases finger hand strength as well, and most
importantly allows each finger/joint to be enhanced
proportionately to its own independent movement.
One can actually work
out the whole hand, then refine the movements finger to finger
without engaging the muscles of the rest of the hand.
Any good personal trainer teaches that strict form is
essential for a good workout and muscle growth.
Any ‘cheating’ in form will absolutely slip up
surrounding muscle growth and limit the amount of work the muscle
you want to build will do. Using
the Chopstick, there is no way to cheat.
One goes from all four fingers to each individual finger,
strengthening it from within.
Another plus of the
Chopstick, at home or especially while driving, one can exercise
with the Chopstick with almost the exact same motion as if doing
stick exercises on a practice pad.
The design of the chopstick allows one to literally hold,
exercise and play the Chopstick as a real drumstick."

"I purchased the Isotonik System for hands from you
around the end of March.
I have been using the Chopsticks twice a day for
about a month. These
things are great. I
have noticed a tremendous improvement in stick control.
My speed has increased also.
The Chopsticks have also helped with fatigue
associated with playing three to four hours a night.
I have been playing professionally for over twenty
years, and used the traditional practice pad method for
practicing and conditioning my chops.
Once again thank you.
I will recommend this product to all my drummer
friends."

"Where does a software
developer who is also a husband and musician find the time
to practice? Almost
never – not good. This
is an issue I’ve had to deal with for quite some time.
Introducing your product:
Isotonik System for
your Hands. I
saw your advertisement in Modern Drummer about 3
months before I actually purchased them.
Admittedly, I was skeptical in the beginning.
If you look hard enough, there is an invention for
everything. But after giving it some thought, I decided to go ahead with
the purchase. In
fact I purchased two of them.
I can’t put them down!
In fact I end up answering questions about my
Chopsticks all day long.
I’ve been playing drums now for about 16 years.
Sadly I still have not been able to conquer the
dreaded “one hand is weaker than the other” syndrome.
By using the Chopsticks, the benefits have been
two-fold.
1) I
have had the Chopsticks now for about two months with
surprising results. My
left hand (which is considerably weaker than my right)
actually feels (and sounds) like I am making considerable
progress. More
progress than I have made in years!
2) I’ve become more “drum” conscious.
Because of working out with the Chopstick every day,
I have a visible reminder to work my left hand.
Think about it!
For many drummers in my position, carrying around a
drum pad and sticks is the only way to get a really
consistent workout. That’s
nearly impossible in my position. But not with Chopsticks.
I can actually have a conversation with my colleagues
and still get an effective workout.
My goal one day is to play like Dennis Chambers.
No doubt Chopsticks will be an effective catalyst to
get me there.
Thanks
again for such a great invention."

"I’ve been playing drums for 26 years.
Four of these years were spent in Drum Corps.
Painstaking hours of practice developing those
demanding chops could have been eliminated if I had
Chopsticks at my disposal.
Building finger strength is a key element in speed
and endurance, and I feel your product has done just that."
Thanks
for the help.

"I’m glad that I have
purchased your fine product.
I’ve been playing professionally for 10 years and
have had tendonitis in my wrists on and off.
Your product has helped me strengthen my fingers and
place less strain on my wrists.
While I’ve only used it for a week, I have noticed
a difference in the speed and precision of my ride patterns."

"I have been a drummer for
many years, and I have seen many practice devices, mostly
gimmicks. However,
I have found a priceless tool in your Isotonik System.
Before using the Chopsticks, I would spend countless
hours at the practice pad and/or drums working on technique.
Now I am able to reduce my practice time and enjoy my
drums. I can
use your device anywhere or anytime to polish my skills.
On a technical level, my single and double strokes are
executed with much more ease and control after just 2 weeks
utilizing the Isotonik System For Your Hands. I
will recommend this product to all my drummer friends and
colleagues. I have spent so many hours using Chopsticks that I will need
a new pair soon.
Thank you for making this revolutionary product available to
me."

"I got the Isotonik System for
Your Hands about six weeks ago.
I started using the Chopsticks the minute I got them,
doing singles and working my way up to doubles and
paradiddles in the following weeks as my hands and wrists
got stronger. I
was so overwhelmed with the results that I didn’t know
what to do with such speed and endurance.
I’m now learning and practicing new rudiments
almost daily. I’ve only been playing for 3 years, and my only regret so
far has been not having heard about the Chopsticks before. I’ve accomplished so many things in such short time that I
really have to attribute them to your product!"
Thanks
again for this incredible product.

"You are like a blessing from
God. Mainly because of the ways your company has been helping me
reach my goal, which is to become a professional drummer. First let me tell you about myself. I am 20 years old, and I have been playing drums for almost 4
years. I have
only been playing serious and working hard at it for about a
year. I was
working so hard that I actually injured myself. I over-strained my forearm muscles and have been fighting
tendonitis in my wrists for almost two months.
I’ve barely played the drums in the last two months
so that my arms could rest and heal.
It is extremely hard to endure and be patient through
this injury, knowing that I am not improving.
I thank my Savior and Lord Jesus for giving me the
strength to get through this injury, and I thank you for
creating the Isotonik System For Your Hands.
When I received it, I didn’t use the Chopsticks as
extensively as I would have liked to because I was still
letting my arms rest. Then
the miracle happened.
I started using it very sparingly, but I was amazed
at how much it really did improve my hands.
I saw a big improvement in my singles, doubles, open
rolls, etc… The funny thing is that I haven’t even used
them in a regular practice routine yet, and I can’t wait
to start. Thanks
and God Bless you for everything."

"I was somewhat curious after
reading your ad about the Isotonik System and Chopstick and
figured since my chops were choppy and my speed was lagging,
I decided to give them a try.
I was surprised to find that after a few days, my
endurance was already increasing and like the ad said,
within a few weeks, there was a dramatic change in speed and
power, and I am now able to flow around my kit rather than
fight with my arms to move faster.
It’s all in the fingers and wrists!
I’ve been studying drums now for five years, and
this is by far the quickest way to gain speed and endurance
without endless practice. Thanks
to the Isotonik System for Your Hands, I can now fly with
the best of them!"

"I have used the Isotonik
System with the Chopsticks for only 4 months and I’ve been
totally satisfied. The
use of these has been beneficial in helping me to not have
pain when I play, due to carpal tunnel in both wrists.
I’ve previously undergone surgery on one of my
wrists, but it didn’t solve the problem.
In addition, I’ve noticed some
stamina increase in my fingers, and playing my kit is not
painful. I
currently perform (as the drummer) in a band which does
charity gigs, and will continue to use your product.
Practice time is hard to come by with my children and
a hectic work schedule, but this allows for obtaining my
drummer performance goals while doing almost anything."

"The Chopstick is the greatest
tool I have ever exercised my hands with.
Pure magic is what happens when I pick up my sticks
and play. I can
play faster. I
have better control. I
have gained endurance and my strokes are precise.
I couldn’t believe how quickly the Chopstick
benefited me. Even
my handwriting has improved.
After almost nine years of drumming, I have never had
this much fun in my life.
I feel great, and it shows when I play.
The pain in my hands and wrists have vanished thanks
to the Chopstick. The
band noticed that I am more confident and creative in my
drumming. I see
more smiling faces in my audience, but the one that shines
the most is mine.
I
educate my peers about the advantages of using the Isotonik
System for Your Hands, musicians or not. I thank you for creating it and I pat myself on the back for
purchasing it. My
technique is further developing, and as a musician I am
growing stronger."

"I sent out my money expecting
the Chopstick would be something like a muscle strengthener.
A muscle aid hardly; its design is NOT made to just
improve forearm muscles.
It’s designed to increase speed, repetition and
technique. The
response is like riding a bike in first gear after riding
the bike in 10th.
It makes the hands move fast, because the sticks have
less resistance than the Chopstick. It’s much more effective than just practicing chops, and
it’s much more convenient.
It also is much less time-consuming.
The other great feature is that you can position
it in ways to improve your traditional grip’s speed.
Overall, it’s a very effective and very inexpensive
product. It
does everything the advertisement says it does and more."

"I have my own drum studio
shop in Austin, Texas and enjoy showing new products and
ideas to my students. I’ve
been teaching there for 3 years after graduating from P.I.T.
in Hollywood, CA (1994).
I currently have 60 students (most of any teacher in
Austin), and I highly use the Chopstick.
I make my students warm up with them for 5 minutes
before we start the lesson. My students have noticed a difference after using them, and
most can’t go the full 5 minutes.
This is a wonderful product."

"From the word “Go,” I was
a skeptic. Nonetheless,
with all the hope in the world, I really wanted to improve
my playing.
I’ve been playing within semi-pro situations for the past
2 years. I’ve
been drumming off and on for about 10 years.
The week I ordered the Isotonik System for Your
Hands, a friend of mine loaned me a video of Dave Weckl.
In this video, he shared the proper technique of
using the fingers and why.
I had been told by several drummers of the technique,
but it really didn’t hit home until I saw the video.
Because of the Chopstick, that came with the Isotonik
System, within two weeks my physical aptitude changed, which
allowed me to concentrate on the art, not the physical.
My hand speed doubled!
The only problem now is that I truly have to use more
control on keeping my cool to not play so fast!
Yeah, but this is favorable."

"I
have been drumming for nearly twenty years.
For the past nine years, I had major wrist problems
in both wrists, carpal tunnel syndromes and other tendon
problems, with the left wrist undergoing surgery for C.T.S. The problems weren’t specifically due to drumming.
For the past few years, they’ve been getting better
due to specific treatments.
Since the writing of this letter, I’ve been using
the Isotonik System for Your Hands for only 2 weeks.
It's helped my
wrist problems quite a bit.
My hands are more powerful with less fatigue.
In as little as 2 weeks, I’ve
noticed an increase in endurance, especially on fast ride
patterns. I’ve
noticed a rise in speed in fast rolls, also my double
strokes are cleaner and faster.
All this in just 2 weeks and on top of my hand
problems. As
time goes by, I only could see improvement in speed,
endurance, control, etc.
I think this is very impressive.
Oh yes, by the way I could play ghost notes with more
precision and softness.
This is truly a great product with more benefits than
one could imagine."
