Q&A 03: How To Develop Control For The Swivel Technique - James Payne 

I love your videos and everytime i'm stuck i watch your videos over and over again - and each time, i notice something i forgot paying attention to over time. that makes me progress. Thank you for your hard work you are putting into this!

Thank you for this video. Swivel is something I need to invest time in but my body is too uncoordinated!

you are a legend

Thank you for the lesson! :D

Can you give some advice on developing finger control technique in the German grip? And does finger control develop speed for the Push Pull technique?

I've been practicing a lot lately and my speed is increasing quite a bit but there's a weird spot 140-150 bpm where it's super hard for me to play, I can play pretty comfortable playing 160-180 although sometimes it's kindve hard to start but once I've got it locked Im pretty steady at keeping it in tempo I don't know how to fix it

Excelente video, como siempre toda la información muy útil. \m/-

Hi James...what is the one technique to master first (for playing fast and blast beat) that you recommend? My time is limited to practise the different techniques. Thx for your advice.

Hi, l play heals down at 210 bpm max with good power. It seems when trying to go at higher BPM'S the beater stroke gets shorter from the bass drum batter for speed to increase to higher tempos, Almost like your drum sticks on snare drum, the stroke swing is less at higher speeds?

What can you do against thumb pain when doing the flying finger / french grip technique?

Could you explain the ride cymbal techniques which you incorporate while playing on the drum kit ?

I Have huge difficult to develop swivel technique, I understand the movement but not flow....can be possible throne position or pedal adjust issue?? I have a heavy DW9002....btw thanks for video! Awesome explanation!!

Do you think there is a benefit, anatomically speaking, to going in-out vs out-in? In other words, does it matter which motion is the one that is focused on, and which motion is the consequence of the other? I've mostly in the past attempted swivel going "in-out" as you do, but since I also play heel-toe, I've started equating the "out motion" with the leg drop of heel toe, and the "in motion" with the flexing of the calf muscle, or the "toe" part of heel toe, sort of combining both swivel and heel-toe, just for the sake of the feel of the motions.
