Murray Spivack was a Russian-born American sound engineer. He was also a drum teacher whose students included Louie Bellson, Joe Morello, David Garibaldi, Vinnie Colaiuta, Chuck Silverman, Chad Wackerman, Ed Shaughnessy, and many more.
Some years ago, I was at the masterclass of drummer Phil Maturano and he spoke about the Spivack technique. I had never heard of this technique before, it was interesting and caught my curiosity. Recently my drum teacher introduced me to the Spivack technique, explaining the fundamentals and the grip with a series of exercises, playing the Stick Control (Single Beat Combinations) at slow metronome speed, focusing on the grip and the mechanic of the stroke.
