Steve's Left Hand Techniques - Steve's Sessions 

You won't see a more competent drummer, or a more listenable and interesting and engaging presenter than Steve. I never let one of his videos slip by me.

Love your buttery smooth buzz rolls! Keep having fun, Steve!

So amazing 🔥 i luv it 🙌 could listen for hours 🥁 thanks so much for the insight 🙏

This is very helpful! I am also a traditional grip player!

You got some good hero's Steve!!!

-one of the finest - most musical drummers I've heard on YT

Insanely good jazz drummer. Very very humble.

You offer up some key insights, and make it look so easy. A testament to how relaxed you are when you play. Thank you so much.

Gorgeous snare...

Great vid. So much neat and useful information. I will incorporate some of this into my snare drum practice. Thanks so much.

LOVE it Steve! This is how I learned to play! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge!

잘 보았습니다👍

Steve I always learn something new in your videos that hand technique is very important I'm a match grip player but I also started out traditional but I'll switch back and forth you always have some new knowledge and I love the way you can swing the beat thanks for sharing Happy New Year to you and everybody there

Awesome playing in the solo!

Thanks Steve! Always love hearing you play. The Ludwig kit you built for me has a special place my heart. :)

Everything Steve says is true. I started in '69. Master the rudiments, snare drum before starting on the drum set. Trad. grip is what was taught. Learning to read is paramount. Back then, if you played matched, you were called a garage band drummer!!

Brilliant stuff. Next...a twiddling tutorial please?

Sounding great steve.

how about a comparison between vintage Rogers and new Rogers?

Hi Steve! Thanks for all you do for the community!! Steve Could please tell me what snare you use here? Thanks for answering toni from austria

Most of us would have continued with traditional grip, until Ringo came on the scene..

Enjoyed your video on left hand technique. I would like to know what would you call that top add-on piece on your snare drum that you used on this particular video demonstration. Thanks.

Do you practice everyday?

I had to laugh when you said "master the instrument, which never happens." That a true statement though, nobody ever masters it. I've been playing for 50 years, and I was taught to use convention grip. But I eventually realized that conventional grip is a very handicapped way of playing the drums. What I mean by this is that you can't crash good that way, and you end up getting tangled up playing around the set, especially during a drum solo using your toms a lot. I realized several months ago while watching RU-vid videos of Buddy and other top drums, that they all switched to matched grip during a big fill or solo that moved around the whole set, especially when using the toms. That was absolute proof to me that nobody should be using the old fashioned conventional grip anymore. Of course, I'm going to make some people mad by saying that, but go back and watch Buddy, Louis, Ed from the Tonight show, and probably most all jazz drummers, including yourself. I've seen you instantly switch to match grip when you need to move all over the set. It just happens, anybody who uses conventional grip almost always switches to match grip as their solo really starts moving around the set. Check it out by watching the old masters, you'll see. And Buddy hated match grip, but there he is using it a bunch.

Steve always tells you how he's not as good as the other guys, etc... but he's wrong
