Guide to Drums - The Double Stroke

[topcat3355]

it's not the snare that is horrible, it's the reverb effect that has been added to the video's audio

[Hihat224]

LOL, i'm absolut beginner but these snare is a joke ;-)))

... but your education is great !

THX.

[ccrocksgg]

Toss that snare in the trash bro !!

[masonnomo2]

[P3PSIE1234]

@masonnomo2 its the camera

[aag1608]

ummm.. this guy in the video is funny

you cant define the word by using the word....lol

[ollecarlsson]

cant you use a little bit more reverb? its way too dry i think! what do YOU think?

[iSnipeDuplexity]

Any way you could post some sort of guide on doing this, only in Traditional Stick form? I'm having quite a bit of trouble with this, and unless i can pick it up, I'll be kicked off the snare and put in the pit. :-(

[lurkah44]

the rudiments of drumming are the rudiments.

[loget3]

first thing: the snare (i think this single word is explaining itself, if you don't think so, read the other comments on this vid, you have a 99% chance to encounter a comment concerning this snare

second thing: if everyone would be "learning" the double stroke by doing 2 single strokes (no, this isn't a double stroke!)in super slowmo and getting faster, they would piteously fail and stop playing drums

nonetheless, i hope my comment was helpful for you and your further videos.

Peace!

[Tscharoy]

lol.. the tipping point how to improove the speed and how the technique actually works you didn't explain -.- fortunately im a drummer myself and know it. this video is first of all bad recorded and second totally unuseful for beginners. low~

[farouqleftback]

HOly shit your snare sounds like my dead cat MEOWING

[southernrockdrummer]

He could definitely stand to put an O-ring or other muffler on that snare and adjust the strainer. That snare sounded absolutely AWEFUL.

[fuzzypickle2]

mine is signifigantly more, dikeface jones

[bensinstod]

Tune your snare drum

[cast390]

Whats up with that snare,you want to be as professional as possible but you record ur snare WAYYY to hot...Dude learn recording levels before you start teaching.Makes you look like a noob ass begin'r

[rrrickflair]

its not distorting, it just sounds like ass.

[brentXmagic]

im trying to doubles, but i cant fucking do it dude...my wrists get tired after going for a full 5 minutes of practicing...i mean i guess i dont practice everyday, but shit. the speed at which people go, sounds and looks unrealistic

[ExtremeDrummer92]

Now remember, rudiments are the rudiments of a drumming, the foundation, the building blocks.

[PentucketXC05]

hahahahahahahahahahah. i laughed so hard reading this.

[Zdrummer45]

ughh snare sounds like shit

[Drunknirish1o1]

why cant i get good rebound out of my stick i have a loose grip and correct hand placement but my stick just gets stuck or something i cant even hit a decently quick speed

[holdswarth]

your fingers are probably blocking the way back- try to hit once and immediately open your hand so the stick flies back just by itself- then try with a grip but position your hand so that there's some space between your thumb and pointing finger, also make sure to loose other fingers so that they move together with the stick as it rebounds, check Dave Weckl's videos about that on youtube

[Spydr2000]

beautiful video on the roll, but i suggest you go find a video on how to tune your snare, it sounds really bad!!!

[brentXmagic]

i really dont think his snare is that bad. i mean, look at the video, its a live footage with the drums not even mic'd...and im assuming he has evans heads...so i think its just the camera

[dayoman7]

well also when someone has a snare like that that has that sort of trashy overtone then its usually a problem within the snares themselves. it sounds to me like a snare or two is bent and is vibrating against the drum weirdly after he hits it.

[JCD192]

he's using french grip...thats why his thumbs are facing the ceiling but WTF is up with his snare!!!

[taketimeout]

You know what? He's gonna get bad wrists if he keeps drumming like that. The first thing I remember being taught is to have the back of your hands facing the ceiling, he's got his thumbs facing the ceiling. Correct me if I'm wrong!

[mits1984]

bahaha i actually thot he was makin sum joke video the snare was sickeningly bad i was like wtf lol

[wazabe20011]

wow....that snare sounds like death...vomiting....on a microphone....underwater.

[lmSoFIy]

lmao ur a fucking fag you didnt't explain how to do double stroke... get a new fuckin snare...

[pedrofernandes613]

essa tarola parece um processador de efeitos..lool

[goku81097]

he acts like a real life daxflame.

[moo99]

Don't define a word using the word. "Rudiments are rudiments" doesn't make sense.

[CarlosCepinha]

i think the snare could be tunned a lill higher, that snare "note" lasts too much time, looks like it has a reverb.

[dmastor]

was it your goal to have a shit sounding snare if so you did well

[locofury]

LOL i concur

[jaimetgenou]

big fuckin bulls shiit snare drums apprend a la regler !!!!bouffon j'apprendrais l'anglais !!ou l'americain c pareil la meme bip...

[tophermonkey]

omg that horrible snare is so so so so so so so so bad. urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[underprog]

it should be still bouncing evethough in slow tempo.... not using your wrist right?

[RalleSZ]

your snare sounds fucking horrible

[P3PSIE1234]

@RalleSZ its the camera

[ExportDrummer89]

Lol.  Snare sounds absolutely horrendous.

[EXnitroxxxxx]

Wtf you ugly asshole! You want that begginers destroy their playing? Doubles in fast motion is not moving your hand twice! It's letting your fingers push the stick on the second stroke you asshole fucker! I am nervous now!!!!

[roykurtis]

Your loser or what ? lol

[renaud260492]

horrible !!!!!

[braino2000]

Evans heads.....Best ones out there!

[Joes3ff]

this man brings shame to all drum brands he uses

[smooth306]

im tryin to learn how to read drum notation but sum of the notations i don't know wat they sound like or wat they tryin to say. u should play wat ur doing but add a splash screen to show wat the notation looks like.

[Stormlord6]

BUM BUM BUM BUM :P

[surfhk]

dat is sickcunn..i started practicing that, and getting better

[g0o0r]

the worst explanation ive ever seen sorry

[drumfreak12345]

there isn't much to explain

[axel0o]

hahahaha nice said xD mwahaha g0o0r ftw

[dastobek]

lolz

[KaiCollins]

was there a rebound???

[STIdMarde]

there is no rebound, that is the thing to remember in that lesson.

[loverboyofdogs]

he goes from RR LL RR LL in strokes to doing R L R L etc. with each stroke getting a second bounce

[deadincentive]

help! i dont see why anyone would do double strokes. wodnt you be twice as fast doing singles

[loverboyofdogs]

cause you can get the bounce out of it

[pooftaey]

No, don't listen to those people, you do not get bounce like you would when doing a roll. It's a completely different rudiment.

[Jorro955]

There are heaps of ways to do doubles, this guy is pretty much useless, he doesn't explain HOW to go by the technique, you cant just go "right, right, left, left"

[masterhaichanchu]

you'e meant to move your arm once for each double, thats how you build up speed........

[Heartagram246]

horrible sound

[Flaitesexy]

your snare sound horrible lol

[dertrommlinator]

Now remember the 'rudiments' are the rudiments of drumming... Really?

[afochopper]

Double strokes are a combination of arm, wrist and fingers. The index and thumb provide 50% of the pressure, the next three fingers provide the other 50%. They also serve to cradle the drumstick, and they move with its rebound, enabling more control and speed.

[hyrael2]

nah... 100% with index and thumb, that easy. The others fingers isn't supposed to move.

[SafeInNewYorkCity]

horrible technique, when you bring down the 2 strokes the other hand should be up and not down on the snare still

just sayin, dont mean to offend

[cheemooo]

wrists not arms!

[thefreepresstheband]

Never has such a collection of amazing drummers been assembled than the trash talking bitches on youtube. Yes, yes, everyone can do everything better sitting in their chair with no shirt on eating Cheeto's.

[eightball8008]

not gonna lie, i am eating cheetos shirtless.

[tropicalstifflegs]

lol

[nandoanalog]

LOOOL

[KilikaDrums]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA, me too!!!

[jayrod2]

Your dead on freepress!

[Danman86]

the snare sounds horrible

[MichiganMonsoon]

your grip looks kinda horrible. maybe you shouldn't be teaching

[schmieden18]

bad double stroke technique....

[Silkysmooth91]

C'mon give me a break, he's playing fine, there was nothing wrong with his technique...

[mmamajor]

smmmooooooootthhhhh

[daaldestiny]
