@gofigure84 3 года назад

I noticed something at the end where he is wearing the Pearl shirt. He is involving his thumb a lot. Almost moving the fulcrum behind his thumb so that small movements of his index finger and/or thumb create a modified push pull. That's probably why he can play on a pillow or water with brushes. He creates his own rebound in a way that doesn't use much energy and very little movement.

@peteroliver7975 3 года назад

This comment is very accurate. Drumming speed is ultimately a function of genetics. Think of it like the autism spectrum, you have people at one who have profound difficulties dealing with people and communicating and relating to them and at the other extreme you have truly empathic people with high emotional intelligence who are formidable communicators and influencers. With the physiology of drumming you have people at the far end of the spectrum with cerebral palsy who cannot relax their muscles and there is even a treatment it using Botox to allow kids to walk better, and on the other end we have people like this guy who can contract and relax his muscles extremely fast. The build up of lactic acid is proportional to the ATP release so there Fore he must also be both very efficient in his movements to minimise work done plus very efficient in moving lactic acidosis away from the muscles being used. No matter how much the average drummer practices and no matter how good their technique, performance will fall along a probability distribution curve where those at the extreme speed end have by chance received all the genes in the right combination to make this speed possible.

The scariest thing is how calm he is, like you said playing like butter lol. People go nuts on the drum kit and he's like sitting in Sunday Church while playing these insane beats and tempos Edit: High thought, I think his technique is something along the lines of two strokes with finger for the rebound and after the rebound of the second stroke is the wrist slamming it back down for the rebound for the finger technique again so three strokes in damn near a single rotation

@MaximilianScarpaDrums 3 года назад

His technique vaguely resembles Hannes Grossmann's "Hybrid" technique, though with lots of finger motion. Also his stick position changes slightly compared to Hannes'. It might seem subtle, but that little bit of wrist motion makes all the difference, especially in power, it's absolutely insane. Also, he's a very musical drummer that can apply phenomenal chops to the kit.

Though fingers may be involved, the whole support system for this is the wrist and the larger muscles in the arm, including the triceps and biceps. Mangini has been developing this technique for decades, and barehanded practice is an important part of developing it. Ricardo is obviously taking it to a new level!

@GlennDavey 2 года назад

Yeah this video is focusing on wrist or fingers, but it's more like a full-system, elbow shoulder muscle-twitch technique to get that fast. The control of it is the trick.

It's something that I would not wish upon anyone, especially a fellow musician, so when another player speaks of quitting voluntarily, I momentarily lose my sense of humour.I hope you continue to play as long as you possibly can, I'm sixty, and I still have so much to learn musically.
