Drum lessons, practice tips, grooves, etc for beginners and advanced players in the styles: Jazz, Rock, Pop, Latin, Fusion, Fill-ins, Shorts, Fun 🤩 etc
For what it’s worth, Jimmy Marinos of The Romantics played open handed. I actually do both. When I first started at 18, I was self taught so no one told me “the right way”. I just started switching back and forth because it was fun. Now, I play both but I prefer open handed.
I am a happy open-handed and right-handed drummer. I started with no teacher, and landed with this style, just because crossing hands seemed so stupid and uncomfortable. ;) [right now I practice a lot to lead more fills with the left hand, I don't like right-hand automatism]
Hey! Welcome to the Club ;-) So you´re the same "hybrid" than me? Right-handed playing on a right-handed setup with open position? For me it still works until today! Do you also play Jazz with two ride cymbals (crossing the arms playing the ride cymbal on the right side)? Best wishes from Berlin!
@@derekscherzerberlin I keep my biggest ride on the right and switch hands when needed (and it's a fat Z. K 22'' -- I don't want it mounted high ;) ). Not much of a jazz person, and I know my hi-hat swing is clearly worse than right driving... oh well :/ Plus, I noticed one more difference, when I side-stick with right, I have it between hi-hat and toms (while you have it closer to body). This requires maybe a bit unusual snare mike placement in concert and recordings, but engineers handle that well so far. ;)
00:00 Confession ;-) 00:05 Introduction 00:45 My background... 03:02 My approach playing open handed (Grooves and fill-ins) 03:52 A few advantages playing this way (and explaining the basic idea of this video) 06:09 Explanation and demonstration playing a left-hand-leaded-groove combined with a right-hand-lead-fill-in. So here is the "drum-lesson-part" ;-) 08:00 Left hand HiHat ostinato and the right hand can move around the drums (explanation and playing demonstration) 09:30 And now the problem(s)......also switching to my standard playing setup (ride cymbal on the left) 12:53 Struggeling with the decision....!?!?!?! 16:14 Let´s discuss....
Practicing open handed will open alot of technique on the kit so its a must if youre serious on drumming.. im a left handed person but my kit was set up right handed so learning open handed is kinda easy

I use a wide spectrum of drumsticks I use everything but my favorite stick company is Vic firth One of them all also use Zildjin regal tip Vater and pro mark as well as innovative percussion But I also use nylon tip drumsticks. I am mostly a wood tip player, but there’s nothing wrong with having nylon tips to bring out a different sound. 😁 Now the sizes I like are 14 1516 and 17 😁 I also love lacquer on my drumsticks now I have had problems with sound percussion drumsticks. Their drumsticks are not good so stay away from them
