Believe it or not, the finger technique you have to use to play fast singles is the same technique you have to use for doubles. In other words, if you can master light, quick singles...you can much more easily master doubles. This is super simple, practical, and achievable for YOU, so let’s dig in.
I believe that ANYONE can learn the drums, and I believe you’re far more capable of becoming a great drummer than you think you are. Don’t sell yourself short! SUBSCRIBE for more Non Glamorous videos that get straight to the point of solving drumming frustration. Stay Non Glamorous, Everyone!

Thank you so much! This was my father's lesson with me as a little girl. Dad says you must work with your fingers not arms. 😂 But I don't play drums, Dad says you're a girl, you don't play drums! Now, I have 3 sons with music in the souls and the drums set from his grandfather. 😍 Greetings from OreMountains Germany 👋

Control is the bridge to speed. Don't get hung up on speed without focusing on your control of the stick. Great video!

I am a self-taught drummer in one of the far east Asian country. Your teaching is very detailed and helps a lot. Thank you for the PDF file too!

Ive never seen this finger workout before. Its interesting to me how little workouts like this get started by someone, who shows someone, who shows someone, and so on. Thanks so much for these videos and other musicians like you taking their valuable time to share very valuable knowledge, for free. Thank you!

I practiced this exercise twenty years ago. Stephen is right on the money. Mastering this exercise first really helps you to go on and master the double stroke much more effectively and efficiently.

@paulglinz7905 3 года назад

I tried this and immediately found it caused my chronic carpal tunnel syndrome to flair up more. As a 60 plus drummer I might have to give this a miss. I've resigned to never being able to achieve this finger technique. My carpal is currently bearable with the drumming I do so I'll just have to play within my limits and this is one of them.

@sharethefootage1088 3 года назад

Drumming seems to help my carpal tunnel since I took lessons and learned to play relaxed enough. If it's effortless, you're doing it right!

@Dogdrum 3 года назад

I think the exercise can be modified to make it easier for you to get into it. You may not achieve super fast doubles but it can very likely open the door for you. I teach too and have worked with senior adult students. Exercises can and do have to be customised to the student's physical abilities.

@meepmeep3874 3 года назад

You guys aren't doctors. OP knows their body. Going around telling people to carry on with something that is causing a disease or condition to worsen is pretty horrific.

@sharethefootage1088 3 года назад

@@meepmeep3874 life without music can be pretty terrible too. Nobody should push themselves too hard of course. If it hurts, you should ease up or stop. I think that every doctor in the world would agree on that. Disclaimer... I'm not a doctor... please disregard everything I say based on that one guy's comment.

@SwordCymbal79 3 года назад

I started drumming at 40. I have some of the same issues. When I practice small amounts of time on these exercises, but do it often, my pain goes away after about 3 weeks. It’s almost like it loosens up. I play a lot of hand percussion too. When I get lazy or life happens and I don’t practice for a couple of weeks, and I try to overcompensate by doing longer exercises than my normal short ones, my fingers and joints ache. Just my personal experience. Best wishes in your own experiences and God bless!

Demo of the “finger roll” shows it all! Hands are loose and slightly down by gravity. Wonderful OPEN roll.

@MegaRobert334 3 месяца назад

Brilliant exercise! Thanks!

@JQUICK21 8 месяцев назад

This is great. Most all people can and will get fast with the sticks…..but there is no method, no coach and no teacher or Professional who can get you to the point where you can have both hands and both feet all doing something different all at the same time! And it is why I have feared trying to learn my favorite instrument….

@2rp4k0 2 года назад

I like the way you shown technique using finger motion.

@masterofnaan 3 года назад

It’s ALL about the interface between the fingers and stick. This is a fantastic companion piece for Gordy Knudtson’s open/close technique vids. That dude is a non-glamorous OG.

@joetroutt7425 Год назад

I wish when I started playing drums almost 30 years ago I would have learned finger technique and all the other techniques used for fast doubles or even doubles at all. It was all just single notes. Now after all these years I am starting to grasp the concept of doubles and how to do them fast. I am nowhere near as fast as I want to be but I can get them to 130 without rebound. I am slowly learning how to let rebound be my friend and use it to my advantage. It has not been an easy road bc of bad habits I am having to break.

I just started drums a week ago and stumbled upon your channel. among the sea of tutorials this one made things very clear for me as a beginner!! thanx much for the simple and transparent examples on hand technique.

@ronmyers2317 3 года назад

This exercise is similar to what I learned in drum School. The first stroke is executed with the fingers, the second is executed with the wrist. My instructor called it the throw-pull method. Throw with the fingers then pull with the wrist. But this is the first time I have seen strengthening your fingers with the stick exercise. I'm definitely going to have to try that.

@mcromer2169 2 года назад

Excellent video lesson. You’re a very good teacher, able to break down the complex into simple steps. Thanks!

Lefty here...my left hand fingers have always rocked but my right hand won't do it if I'm thinking about what I'm doing. Thanks for the extended arm suggestion. Never seen that done before.

@UltraCasualPenguin 2 года назад

And don't forget training cardio too if you want to eventually get to speeds that Nils Fjellström play at. And of course you have to make practicing a habit: - practice pad - towel - heavy sticks - singles and doubles That seems to be secret to his power and consistency of that power at very high bpm. Of course he's not even human because he plays in combat boots at very high bpm.

@SwordCymbal79 3 года назад

The finger exercises in this video are amazing. And, they also help drummers like me that play a-lot of hand drums/percussion like djembe’s, congas, bongos, and the infamous cajon. I do alot of acoustic sets in north Texas that ban drummers from using drums, but I still get gigs by sneaking in hand drums. And guess what? If you do exercises like this, and don’t buy the cheapest hand drums at the local big box store, and instead actually purchase quality instruments, you can get some fantastic dynamics that confuse 85% of the stereotypical cajon players wondering why they don’t sound anywhere near as good as you do. And it’s less painful too! Long story short, these exercises are supa dupa valuable. Thanks for shining some light on them and helping goofballs like me @stephenclark

@markwith140 2 года назад

I am pretty good with using the fingers, but I can only do it in French Grip. I notice that my hands and more to the point the butt end of the stick is in a different position to yours. I struggle to use my fingers in Matched Grip, maybe it is because my hands are not big enough, not sure...

@rainmaker843 2 года назад

What can i do if my hands messing up on my left like i do what I do in my right but the stick doesn't stay and fingers hardly touch but when they do they make it hit diagnoly

@thyself8004 Год назад

I’ve been practicing the finger technique for fast single stroke rolls. I can get the stick going at a decent speed in both hands individually, but when I try to play the single stroke rolls with both hands, I just can’t get them to work in unison and cannot get them even close to the speed at which I get them when I play with just one hand. Does anyone have any tips on how to rectify this?

@NikkLiberos 3 года назад

2:46 serious question: should the arm be extended like that? Wouldn't it be better to do that in a more natural playing position? Genuinely curious about that.

@johncostigan6160 3 года назад

I think It's mostly to use gravity as resistance so that your fingers do the work, not really as a playing technique (the stick smacks your forearm! ) But you can do it while watching TV.

@davidgomersall7185 3 года назад

It's being done as a muscle building exercise so you want to put it under as much continual tension as possible. Plus it gives you more range of movement than if you were just using your natural playing position.

@peterrobertson794 3 года назад

What if your using matched Grip

@davidgomersall7185 3 года назад

One thing I find awkward with finger technique is that i broke my pinky knuckle a few years back, so when I close my hand that finger twists in and under the others. Gets kind of annoying and distracting... Great practical tips though, thanks for the lessons and the exercises

@edmurray7733 2 года назад

What kind of pad are you using?

@williamtcook 3 года назад

As a guitarist, I feel I have to train the opposite side of this motion. My fingers are so strong, they don’t want to relax enough to let the stick rebound. Hoping this helps.

@laridrums7777 3 года назад

👍

@bmrbca3658 3 года назад

Are you always using the same grip? I find I use French on the practice pad, but switch to American on the kit. It's just what feels natural for each. Should I pick one and go with it?

@farshimelt 3 года назад

Always go with what feels natural. But.......practice all the grips, they all have their uses.

@verawright2157 3 года назад

Been playing for years, but the single tolls get me. Doubles Im ok as well.

@millie179 3 года назад

Great video, really useful...can you tell me what your practice pad is...it's got a nice quiet tone that may not,I repeat may not annoy my wife 🤪🤣

@bubinga_basher 3 года назад

Where did you learn this finger exercise? I posted. I put out a REALLY non glamorous version, but accurate video of this 2-3 weeks ago Dude, you're Luberace compared to me. I'd like to be 1/1000th as glamorous

@fserafeimgr 3 года назад

Good, but still you are accenting the first note of the doubles (because you still using much wrist) ..it should be even dynamics and to get that you have to initiate the first stroke also by fingers and not dropping it using the wrist.. ✌️ But generally for a point to start from somewhere is nice video!!

@tharidudananjaya520 3 года назад

@mikemercey6499 3 года назад

This is considered bad technique in a lot of circles. It's about stick control not finger control. Tension free playing is the way to go if you don't want to permanently injure yourself, AND you end up with more speed.

@farshimelt 3 года назад

Why do you sit so high, rather than at a 90 degree angle to the snare drum?

@KyleCastroTheDrummerBoy090613 3 года назад

Thank you for the useful tips!!! Support your channel sub +1😊🥁🇵🇭

@cmtcfu 3 года назад

I disagree with this approach. A much more powerful legato stroke is achieved by utilizing both wrist and finger control at the same time in sets of twos and threes and fours. That's how you play fast high hat technique, it's how you play fast singles with power. Focusing merely on fingers is a misnomer.
