FREE BOOK for more hand speed: dashboard.mailerlite.com/form... Drum Secrets Hand Technique This video contains one of the best kept Secrets concerning the technique of playing a drum
When Carlock was in the area on tour with Sting a buddy of mine got together with him to talk about the gig. From what he tells me, touring like that is just on another level
I am both a drumset and drumcorps player. I think in the drumset world: El Estapario Sabiriano. In drumcorps: Kiichi Kobayashi(that guy is a rudimental beast)
Hello from australia gabriel,found your channel bout 2months ago in 1 of your short lessons you were showing the closed dbl stroke this caught my interest then you showed the single paradiddle down up,this lesson is the goods! you are an inspirational educator there is something to be learnt in all your lessons for all level of players my practice pad is now an important and enjoyable part of my growth as a drummer🥁🇦🇺
Thank you so much. The best part is that the pad work is enjoyable. I love hearing this. I worked as a drummer in cruise ships and was in Sydney and Melbourne several times. Thank you for the memories
I know I've not been very consistent this past month, but I just reworked my entire audio thing here in the studio and will now be back at it. Thanks for being here
Vinnie (as well as Carlos Vega, David Garibaldi, etc.) studied with LA snare technique masters Murray Spivack and Richard Wilson. Check out Murray’s video with the great Louis Bellson discussing technique.
I have questions about my hand technique. I'm not a beginner, but with the 10,000 videos out there it only seems to make me question myself more than ever.
Your hands are just fine. I'm sure of it. I've seen great drummers with beautiful hands, and I've seen drummers that sound great, but who's technique is frightful. We've all seen this, and not just on drums. Check out this video of Thelonious Monk ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yHKl0euhZI0.html (a great jazz pianist) with his "flat as Hell" fingers and rings moving all around. ...and he's a legend. As a community drummers seem to love to discuss technique and because I try to give people what they like here I end up making a lot of videos on the topic, along with 10,000 others lol Thank you for your comment
That's very kind sir. I just watched his performance at a Hard Rock Cafe in Warsaw. If you haven't checked it out ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ruXHHh9b2yU.html
Hey Gabriel, great channel, great lesson and great beard! I'll look forward to more...you have a great way of passing on information. Thank you for the lesson.
Ned from Spain saying thank you Gabriel for yet another well explained, solid method to clean up, balance and super charge the hands. I've been using 876 for awhile but not with your spin on it but it looks interesting. I'm gonna have to get back to you with a short list of drummers with great hands. See ya next week !
This was a pretty informative and badass lesson and demonstration. Thanks for sharing with us. To answer your question about who the most technically proficient drummer is when it comes to the hands, there are many, but I would have to say Jojo Mayer is one of the most impressive I've heard. What is your opinion?
Jojo Mayer is awesome and I just got done binge watching a bunch of his stuff about two weeks ago. For hands Vinnie is still my favorite. I don't know what it is, I just like his velocity of stroke and his phrasing. It seems the man has no fear when it comes time to solo.
@@DrumTipTuesday Oh yeah, Vinnie is as badass as they come. When it comes to limb independence on the kit, I'm a big fan of Terry Bozzio, Thomas Lang, Virgil Donati, Mike Mangini, and Marco Minnemann. I'm working through MM's Maximum Minnemann book which is an absolute bear. Also, Matt Gartska is going to be one of the all time greats.
I can't believe I forgot to mention Claus Hessler. The dude is UNREAL! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gUWTfGgPqv4.html&ab_channel=Sweetwater
I can't believe that I forgot to mention Bill Stewart! What great a player!!! Could listen to him all day long! He can tell stories in his phrases. And technically he's mind blowing!
@@DrumTipTuesday I did see that! I really liked it. Has a late 90s feel to it. To have a drummer like that hold back because it’s what serves the song is refreshing.
Hands, in terms of power and speed? I’ll go with Dominator from Nordjevel, and formerly from Dark Funeral. As far as grooves, Sheila E. II from Sleep Token is also pretty amazing.
JoJo Mayer is a terrific performer! i just got done binge watching a bunch of his stuff here on RU-vid about two weeks ago. I changed my it around a bit so I can imitate some of his style.
He finished game... Look his Dvd from 2007 it's double dvd Hand bible... m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zj3-Lc7UWwg.html&pp=ygUUR3JlYXQgaGFuZHMgZHZkIGpvam8%3D Btw great chanell... Like how you think....
Great content here on your channel! How about Dave Dicenso and Gary Novak. Of course the list is huge but these came to mind. I don't hear them mentioned hear enough.
Especially Novak. I can't remember what fusion album I first heard him on first like decades ago but it blew my top. Thank you for reminding me of these guys I'm gonna have to find more stuff on both of them to listen to.
Those sticks are Vic Firth Corpsmaster Signature Snare Drumsticks - Murray Gusseck. The diameter is .715" vicfirth.com/products/corpsmasterr-signature-snare-murray-gussek
Thank you for this lesson. It makes great sense. I think Dave Wekl is the most capable of controlling his hand techniques currently, but he's in the running with Gadd and Coliauta. Sonny Emory is quite adept as well.
He does! ...and if you haven't checked out the stuff he does with Ralph Nadar I highly recommend it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HS2NM74SzVQ.html
I studied with Joe Morello who was a master technician for 10 years. You will never achieve maximum speed applying these tight techniques. The first thing Joe taught me was to allow the stick to rebound naturally off of the drum head. Always play relaxed. This will also help your groove. NEVER pull the stick up unless you are playing a tap stroke and then want to play an accented full stroke.
Those aren't tight technique although it looks rigid, he's relaxed af. He's just using drumcorps style technique which focuses on wrist usage. If he has a "tight grip" then he cannot use the wrist in the first place. Check this vid about the drumcorps grip that looks tight but really isn't. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hpzF04ertn4.htmlsi=21IY9rqvkNnYhE_t
Great lesson Gabriel... I "liked" it. : ) My votes for a player with great hands would be Bill Bachman for Matched Grip (Author of Stick Technique), and Todd Sucherman for Traditional Grip (STYX/Author of Methods and Mechanics). I'm biased towards Bill because he's both a friend, and a former instructor of mine.
@@DrumTipTuesday Bill suffered a stroke about two (or so) years ago, and has had to really work his tail off to get back most of his control. While that stinks, Bill's faith and optimism has helped turn the situation into a positive... he's gotten an even better idea as to what it takes to start from scratch as he's had to do it twice now. While I own many books on hand technique, I do think his Stick Technique book is one of the best. In my biased opinion. : ) Blessings to you and yours, Kevin
Well Buddy had tha best hand technique and probably didn’t even know it His proficiency was impeccable to anyone Today I would say Thomas Lang is the best clinician for hands and feet proficiency
Thank you for this lesson its a great breakdown of how to gain precision and speed. You asked who has the best hands ... El Estapario Sabiriano!!! - @ElEsteparioSiberiano. In my opinion, that is!!
