It's 2am and I just spent the last hour slowly playing moeller triplets or whatever you call them just to one by one look at what's wrong with my grip, wrist action and general movement because of this video. First time I've sat down like that in a while but hopefully this is the start to setting up good practice habits. Thank you, Mr Becker and Drumeo!
@@snarewert9584 definitely happier, I'm doing some proper drumming now as well! I've progressed but also am aware of the progress I've still gotta make so just gotta keep practicing
You have NO IDEA how long I’ve been looking for someone to explain tip #3, the way you have!! It has taken me to another level, in a very short time! Thank you, and I’ll be back for sure!
For practicing the second point, the upstroke downstroke -flow, I have been doing double stroke rolls with accented second notes on the downbeat of the measure. I feel like it's been helping a lot and thought i'd share this with all you beautiful people!
niceeeeee just what i needed. im a self taught drummer and guitarist and i have some old bad habbits with my techinuque in both. ive gone back and corrected the most i can so i can continue to improve better
Ty Bruce , this was super helpful . I'm 55 and have been playing for years . Who am I kidding , I'm terrible but sorting out my grip has made a huge difference ! Thanks Again
Whatever you do, don't give up! Keep working those motion pathways and keeping your synchronization intact. :D It's like putting a layer of paint on every day; eventually you're gonna end up with a "finish" that's ten feet deep.
I’ve watched this video and several other videos of Bruce Becker and like his teaching style.....simple, clear and easy to learn. I have taken lessons from other teachers yet I still consider myself a beginner. I like Bruce’s style and was wondering how I could continue learning from him. Are there anymore RU-vid videos of his drum lessons? Does he offer one on one teaching?
I know there are many reasons to subscribe to drumeo. And many great teachers too. But honestly I would also become a member just for this course alone.
Really good video! I have played for 8 years but recently my index finger started hurting. I've started to use more of a Moeller technique the last year which makes me relaxed but I think my problem was I started playing too loose just like you showed at 3:10 . Cause when I played with a tighter grip I was still relaxed but my hands never hurt. Probably is that the stick is hitting and rubbing on the index as the others are too loose?
Hey! I'm new to your channel. I really liked this vid and found it very helpful. Can you make a vid on tuning your drums so that the sound is little more like a rock song? Cause I have to use a cloth just to make the snares sound heavier
I hate to be critical but I've seen way too many videos on how to hold a drumstick and your application my work under certain circumstances but play A Hard Rock drum solo Locke John Bonham Don Brewer let's see if you don't get that stick close to the end really hard it's just frustrates me dozens and dozens a videos showing the same thing and the techniques are always the same however totally unrealistic and all genres of music and all drummers. Thank you
Get "Stick Control for the Snare Drummer". The exercises are setup to place equal emphasis on both hands. Work through the exercises on the snare at first and then go back and orchestrate around the kit and add hi hat and kick.
Ps. It appears to me that this is just another way of getting another video on RU-vid a video which is totally fruitless and there's no significance whatsoever do most genres of music
Jojo Mayer is much better with technique, but technique is not the most important thing in drumming, creating awesome fills or beats or you having fun is the most important thing
