FINGER TECHNIQUE For Drum Set: How to BUILD SPEED, CONTROL, and ENDURANCE 

I’ve been drumming for a long while, self taught but I found this valuable and helpful. Simple, steady and clear. Looking forward to watching more.

Creating muscle memory. What a great workout plan

Yo man you saved me. I alwsys struggled with this technique and thx to you I finally got it! Started at 70 bpm After a month Im going at 90. Best video on this subject period

this is the best tutorial yet on finger sticking. I've watched a lot of videos.

Man, that forearm tapping that you mentioned at the end is great! First time I’ve seen anyone mention it. Thanks!

Superb lesson -will look for your other videos on the set…thank. You

IVE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR THIS TECHNIQUE

This is absolutely my favourite practice video, i haven’t even begun following along and i can already tell the topics i need to improve and you explain thoroughly and more importantly in a way i can understand and how i can improve these grey areas, until now ive never watched a lesson and thought “hmm, you know maybe i can do this” but now i know i can get back onto my pad and after a rewatch of this ill be deep in the practice mindset, i 1000% reccomend this man ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really liked your lesson very timely and I love that you started it at the very bottom of the foundation , I can’t see a better way of learning something🎉

Really simple yet effective instructional

Very good lesson. Thank you

Very nice. Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect. That looks like a better way to practice

Awesome video as soon as I have the chance, I’m going to adopt this from you because I am determined thank you so much

Oh yeah and I like your bonus lesson of using each finger when tapping your forearm😊

Best video on YT explaining this - I have watched so many 🙂. Thank you so much Ryan! Really easy to understand and great practise tips.

Awesome video. I've always struggled with finger technique.

Thanks Ryan for the scores excercise, will practice n update u on the outcome.

Brilliant mate...I will try these for sure! Thanks Ryan 👍🤘🍺

If you start practicing this technique from complete beginner,how many years do you think does it take to get to a point where you can play a decent blastbeat?

Very nice !!!

Tnx Ryan !!!

Great video.....big hugs

Great class! Tks

you are amazing!

Very good thanks bud !!

Excellent!

2 years late, but thankyou, this is super helpful!

OK great!

Thanks , this is a very good lesson. I'm thinking this will help with the weak hand too. I hope this will help transition into American grip as well . But I'm going to focus on this grip for some time. Thanks Brother.

I can now do the finger technique separately in my hand. But I have a struggle in doing it alternately in single stroke.

Thank you !!!

As soon as you said "this exercise is good for finger control..." at 11:35 mark, my left hand dropped the stick on my head LOL

thanks bro.

Great video 🌸

Thank!!!

Thank you so much man! U r the best! Just subscribed ❤️

Thank you so much for sharing this . I could use all the tips that I can get. From a begginner drummer in Dallas TX USA >(^.^)

Gracias !!!

Grazie per la lezione ho visto bene capito poco vivo a roma ma bravo

Another good tip is work out your forearms. To use your fingers in this motion is using your forearms and it’s also said that if you work out a muscle then the ability to learn something new with that muscle increases. There’s a vid on RU-vid specifically for workouts for drummers and how to hit the muscles that you ACTUALLY use while drumming and I highly recommend looking into it. But basically do a T-pose and do a fast grabbing motion with both hands constantly. Within 30 seconds you should feel it, and I’ve found having a stress ball or something like that in your hands while doing it increases the effectiveness.

awesome

Okay great

Gracias amigo 👍😃🇨🇴

Thank you! Clear and understandable!

Me gustó !!!

I have 3 questions: How long did it take you to get to this level of finger technique efficiently? What about using bigger sticks for this exercise or maybe turn the stick and practice the blunt end? Left hand stick is creeping, will it go away with after awhile? Thank you for your video tutorial

Hello Ryan, this is explained to perfection, and I am interested in two things: is this the first exercise for beginners or is there something else before that and how much time per day should be exercised each finger?? I would be grateful for your answer.. .

9:05 not me getting my sticks to play along only to get time lapsed

This question is in regards to the third, fourth and fifth finger. After the stick rebounds are we suppose to keep the finger on the stick? My fulcrum stays intact, but third finger tends to drift away. Like I'm tapping a button. For example when dribbling a basketball, the hand inevitably looses contact with the ball with it hits the ground.

Would learning this improve the german grip method since fingers play a role there too?

thank you so much this video❤️👍.I want to buy your book for beginer drumer. do you have?

Thank you Ryan. Great explanation! I normally use American grip. Should I practice this first in French grip as you do and later go to American? Thanks.

Tq boss👍

Thank you! My finger technique involves curling my finger(s) from the bottom to the base of sack.

Nice!! My only question, if you see this, is at the start it looks like you're closer to german grip whereas all the exercises focus on french grip... is there anything different you need to do when transitioning to german grip? I feel like it's harder because the stick hits the palm of my hand when I use the fingers in german, and it's also so hard not to use the wrist in german grip.

It looks like your thumb positioning changes from when you first introduce the strokes and from when you are using all of your fingers. I feel like my thumb is farther away from my hand than yours is.

Do the fingers have to be in touch with the stick all the time?

Hi there! I've had lessons, watched videos, done exercises, and I can kind of do double strokes, but watching that scissor motion in your hands has inspired me to try this method. Don't know yet if I've found the holy grail, but surely something good will come out of it. Thanks a lot! 👍🤓 PS: for trad grip, could this technique work using thumb only?
