The Australian-Macedonian drummer Chris Mitrevski pioneered a hybrid style of playing, relying on multiple accented notes played by the non-dominant hand.

The method combines a variety of techniques with the goal of improving hand speed, power, and control while offering the flexibility to add accented notes at will.
