wanting to do this can do in and out around 1500 using moeller.as i read the rules #2 says no moeller just saying why not do it as a class on it's own?

WFD CONTEST RULES
1. All contestants for both Battle of the Hands™ and Battle of the Feet™ competitions will be scored on playing single strokes (no bounces, presses or buzz) for 60 SECONDS and recorded by the Drumometer™.
2. No multi or compound grip technique such as: Moeller, Push-Pull or combinations are allowed in World Finals Competition for World Records or grand prizes. WFD allows one stroke per one full movement of each hand, the right hand goes down, "tap", and then back up. Concentrate on the back of the hand rather than the tip of the stick. Furthermore, if the back of the hand goes down and two taps are made by the opening and closing of the fingers before the back of the hand goes up, then it's a 2 note stroke. Same would apply for the 3 note stroke and 4 note stroke. These are singles but they're multi-stroke singles which in the future may have its own category.

1500? When Mangini is only running 1240-1250? seems like the tail end of that rule says it all, this should be a a category of it own possibly in the future

Are you sure you are doing singles just asking? 1500 is a lot do you have any video to show

If you can do 1500 with moeller, what can you do with straight up and down standard techinque? Seems like you could still win by staying within the current WFD rules, ? Just Saying

i'm not as good straight up and down standard grip or left hand up last half gets sloppy so less high score. if they don;t change the rules next year i'm goign to train with standard cuz yet i can still do 1000 with regular grip
