That was awesome!! Thank you!! I think you made the perfect product. All the camera angles are great, thw video quality is great, you sound great, and the actual music!!! If I am to really learn a song I need the music and although my skills aren't there yet, it will be great to practice these beats slowly!
I just started playing 2 days ago and learned quite a bit from your In Bloom cover. Hope to be able to play this someday! It looks like an absolute blast. 🤘🏻😁🤘🏻
Great Job!!!! Most covers of this song on the internet aren't accurate like yours. 1) Quarter Notes on the Hats/Crash for Chorus! and 2) the entire Post-Chorus (from bar 45 thru 48)...I've rarely seen it accurately played despite proper notation being available!!! You Crushed It!!!

Are you burying the beater with every strike? So many people have told me it's poor technique and affects your sound to bury the beater. Serious question
I'd recommend it for beginners. Yes it changes the sound, no it's not bad technique. You'll get a shorter, sharper sound with more punch. You can adapt this technique later on by allowing the beater to bounce back. It's more advanced, but ultimately feels more relaxed when you get it. The sound will be more 'open' as the skin is allowed to vibrate.
Hello there. I am able to perform this technique pretty proficiently but am unable to do it without burying the beater. It would be great to see and advancement on this video where you show how to adapt this to playing without burying the beater as I’ve yet to find a video that explains this. Many thanks and great video!
This is the first explanation I’ve seen that explicitly says not to use your hip flexors, which is really helpful because those usually get really tight when playing! But is there a way to do this without burying the beater while still only driving from the calf?
You have two choices. Yes you can do while driving from the calf if you can touch the beater to the skin before initiating the stroke (you sort of 'place' it on as to not make a sound). Alternatively you bring in the hip flexor as you'll need to keep your foot light on the way up. Don't take the technique as gospel. I use this to teach beginners to predominantly play from the calf to promote a more economical and relaxed stroke. Inevitably the hip flexor will start to be incorporated when more 'hang time' is needed. For example with double strokes or the beginning of rebound strokes.
@@DG-Drums Thank you! I see! Do you have recommendations on how to, I guess, not get sore when more ‘hang time’ is needed? And if I choose to bury the beater, how would you suggest controlling the excessive, uncontrolled rebound that comes with burying the beater?
@@reallyrealmeower Practice with the intention of staying as relaxed as possible. More time playing with the technique when you're 'live' (ie playing songs rather than drilling single shots) will help this. Loosening the drum skin and/or loosening the spring tension should solve the rebound issue.
