You are The Man, Stephen! At 56 I take pride in being open to letting anyone regardless of age teach me something. I find the more I check my ego the more I learn.

I been playing for 10 years and I needed this video. Luckily ABSOLUTE BEGINNER is a mindset and I'm happy to have it :)

FINALLY!!! You have no idea how much I have searched to find someone showing on how to hold the sticks. And if you look at how other drummers are holding them, they all have their own personal style....

@NintenDub Месяц назад

I've come to find there isn't a right way. Cuz they all say one thing. They say do this, and do do that. And than you watch them do exactly what they say not to. They talk about using fingers.not using fingers. Only using wrists etc. it just seems everyone does it differently. After 20 years I finally have found my real grip.but my hands just aren't shaped to hold it how most would say your supposed to

The thing I have found is that you have to learn to hold the sticks many different ways in many different contexts. This video is really solid advice and you should always be trying to apply the principles but you need to be able to do American and French and everything in between. I have recently been trying to force the most French grip position I can on myself as I play and it has really helped me even though it has been like learning to play the drums again.

Day one with a pad and 2 sticks. Every song is a song I cannot play yet 😄

I have very flexible thumbs which are not good for pinching and holding things. I hadn’t heard of having the fulcrum more at the base of the middle finger. Just trying it out, I really like it! I lately have been kind of worried that my potential on the drums is limited due to my autonomy, but this may be some crucial information to keep improving.

Savior by Rise Against . My kick doubles seam to lag the hands and just can’t get the timings synced at a slow tempo it’s ok but the faster I go it falls apart.

I'd love to be able to play anything off of Quadrophenia. To be able to play as freely and confidently as Keith Moon in general, actually.

@applesforakbar Месяц назад

Years ago a drummer taught me a technique that completely stifled my progress and I couldn't get past it. This makes waaaaay more sense excited to pick up drumming again and try it. Also sidenote, it's just like tennis more control comes from looser strokes rather than gripping harder.

@Fiascopia 12 дней назад

IMO a good way to switch to looser styles is to think that the more you feel like you are bouncing a ball, the closer you are to good technique

@juniorchavez2787 Месяц назад

Forever Dead by Sevendust is the one I want to play smoothly.

@sueashton3786 Месяц назад

@Steve_Onaut 26 дней назад

I feel like its sounding good but it actually isnt when i play. I often have like a little break in my beats which sounds really weird. Also im often loosing my sticks i hope this will help
