Career

Waterson started an organization to promote speed drumming as a sport.[4] In 2006 he performed 1,075 single-stroke rolls on a bass drum in 60 seconds. [4]

In 2007 Waterson released a two-DVD set, Techniques, Motions and Applications for Bass Drum Playing.

Waterson uses the heel-toe technique[5] and also invented the pump technique for fast single strokes. His use of the Vruk heel pedal system enables him to perform a modified version of heel-toe playing. Tim is profiled in the book Believe the Unbelievable by Bartley Press.
