Push-Pull Technique

[rvaweatherman]

Watched a good deal of these lessons on the single stroke and yours actually made me get it. For me, it was your explanation of making it feel like a triplet. Well done. Thx man!

[SERCHSOS3722]

WOW!! GREAT LESSON MAN!!

[DonGeorge47]

Very well done. I play both traditional and matched grips. My first teacher was a graduate of Berklee and taught me finger technique for the left hand. Still can't approach Buddies speed. I'll have to try your modification. Thanks for your posting.

I can do this. Took me a long time to get it up to speed. Don't give up so easily guys it takes time.

[Tjamleftwich25]

[wooglyb]

Another important thing for trad grip is the motion of the fingers! You will never achieve any type of consistent sound AND speed, such as guys like Vinnie , if your fingers are getting in the way of themselves and the control of the stick.

[123tacobello]

haha im a strange drummer. i play lefty traditional grip while im right handed.

[TEngoSUCKa]

@123tacobello haha me too. But im pretty sure thats normal;)

[Plaguemix]

@2245DRUMMER yeah, first I learned finger control, and a year ago I got into moeller and stuff.. now I simply use them in a way that's the most relaxed :) keep it up bro! ( and btw, if you have any tips on right foot development, my feet still are my weakest bit..)

[MrPerson72]

Great technique! (referring to the trad grip tech) Very useful, I'll start practicing this asap!

[webstercat]

Good video, the goal is the cleanness and speed> how a person get's there is not important. At what quarter note tempo do you consider this clean and closed?

[bsonor]

don't let your wrist turn to mush...I prefer 'wrist control' to  'finger control'.

[2245DRUMMER]

@bsonor I dont care what you prefer

[Plaguemix]

@2245DRUMMER ;) good one :p I have to say that I prefer to use both ;) have fun mate !

[2245DRUMMER]

@Plaguemix

Thanks! Yea, I think it would be impossible to play just using this technique (the closest person to probably use it all the time was buddy or Jojo Mayer) I don't think people should even mess with techniques like this till they have good wrist control. After you have good wrist control, you can fool around with stuff like this.

[wudgeypudger]

@bsonor penis or flying finger

[PositivelyBored]

@bsonor

agree. push pull should be loose and natural with less and less wrist turn as you go at a faster tempo. The problem I see most drummers doing with experimenting with push pull is too much wrist turn motion at higher speeds.  It is a huge hinderance speed wise and most importantly takes away smoothness and natural, single-stroke sound.

[drummernezzy]

helpful.

[kentsmedblom]
