Drum Lesson: The Drumstick Flip

[Maxpoweredrummer]

Thums up if you want to say Thanks!

[drummingsoccerdude]

great video! there are many stick trick videos on youtube, but not very many are this easy to follow. also, what type of kit do you have? your snare sounds amazing!

[Mathiasl33nd]

Kul att någon annan kollar lika mycket på Mike Johnston som jag! haha :D

Grym lektion!

[Witheyesunseen]

good video I learned how to flip my sticks a little while ago and it looks cooler if you'd hit the crash cymbol with the hand you just flipped the stick with

[Mirozenx]

thanks this is so helpful! What mics do you use and what mixer and editor please? thanks!

[HotRodMatrix025]

are those Rikki Rockett's Bottle Rockett sticks from Vater? i use those all the time now, used to be pro rock but they kept slipping. Been lookin for a good tutorial for the flip for a while now thanks for uploading man

[MotleyCrueGOD]

[cpu1001]

Thanks bro. Great tips there. Great attitude there, one of a few drummers on youtube that are not annoying while talking about stuff. Keep up the good work.

[wkhmoviez]

[tylerjamesmenard]

[komposteradgalning]

[tylerjamesmenard]

[SwornDuty]

I cant get my sticks to rebound nicely off my drum

[tbarker77]

Dude awesome video, thanks so much. I like how you talked about how drumming should be about learning from others. I always love it when Mike Johnston talks about that and it's great to see someone else talking about it. Thanks again bro.

[komposteradgalning]

@ikepowell It's not different, in the notation there's two 32nd notes (which I'm playing with my left hand aka. "the drag" you're talking about) :) I'm glad it helped you out!

[ikepowell]

@komposteradgalning oooh i see , sorry :3

[ainselem15]

cant explain my love for this video

lol

[Gwyhir]

Hi Frederik, you reputation grow and grows. One day I'm going to be saying "I knew that guy!" Keep it up buddy. Pete (UK).

[jaleesamg]

peppament for the kids =D mike johnston... love the dude =D

[AudioSuperVision]

When you're talking about having to many flips annoying people watch a Luke Holland video. He is like always spinning but its still cool, Just disproving the statement =)

[violetisredandblue]

you have a unique blog. you should be famous for this! :D do covers a little bit more so people would notice you more. :) im not saying you should do to get noticed but so people would know more about drumming.

[FireStormVideos]

Thanks Fred, its great you posted this because i just broke my arm so i can only play with my right arm for a while and needed something to practice. Your a good teacher btw, I've been watching your videos for about 2 years and i still use the stick twirl from your old video and the pillow warm up.

[MsNoeemo]

wow....you make it seem so easy...

[minitacos365]

??? where ru from xD

[hajlajfftw]

Du är väldigt pedagogisk och duktig!

[M0ofi32012]

[heidisimpson]

[KillasaurusArcade01]

MY DUUUUUDDEEEEEEE!!!!!! freakin awsome teacher man! thanx!!

[mikesstudents]

GO FRED! GO FRED!!!! u rock bro! keep it up keep teaching people and sharing your knowledge

~Manasseh

[monsterskater33]

your accent. amazing.

[CrispyXR]

hey that was awesome! :D im gonna have to try this sometime :) one thing i thought would look better is if you hit the crash with the same hand as the one you flipped the stick with to make it look more useful :D

[NOSFERATUalu]

its great to see mike johnstons view of teaching brush onto some other younger drummers

[mattvarela]

does the angle of the snare drum has anything to do with it?

[KarlLeipzig]

@mattvarela yes

[dicko2704]

Loved the video! the only thing I would say is that you need a haircut ;) Great lesson, will give it a go.

Joel UK

[LKoise]

ur an idiot

[flpnflp]

Hi Fredrik! I love this video!!! You are a REALLY great teacher!!! We're all lucky to have you because you are an AWESOME drummer and so nice! Thanks for being so generous with your mad skills!!!!! Also, how long did it take you to be able to do this? And if you decided to take this video off of youtube for some reason will you please let me know first if you think of it? I have this in my favorites and would like to work on this but it might take me some time to get it.

Your friend,

Joey : )

[komposteradgalning]

@flpnflp Joey! Man, thank you SO much! I can't even describe with words how much it means to hear you say that! I'd say it probably took me about a week to get it down completely (about 5-10 minutes a day). Also, don't worry, I'm not gonna remove it :) Good luck and please let me know when you get it!

[flpnflp]

@komposteradgalning Thanks! I will!!! : )

[real1acer]

Euro Mike johnston. Great lesson! The whole lesson's scripted really well and you executed it nicely.

[kingfranckribery]

hey fredrick,

thank you for the lesson and I wanted to say, that you mentoined all in the video, what you need for this trick. but I don´t know why your english is soooo good :D

.... I´m from Germany... so thanks and good luck 

[danielcfob]

ok if i could do a backflip whilst drumming i sure as hell would have already posted it it ATLEAST.

[182JeanJean182]

nice vid =)

[Joeyjunior15]

Awesome! Måste försöka lära mig det där och använda det nån gång xD det passar in skitsnyggt där du brukar göra det, så fortsätt med det, folk gillar det^^

[alex18min]

Sharing knowledge and have fun! You are right! We have the same vision of drums! Keep it up man!

[Zodiacdrummer]

Mike J. and Fredrik O. for the win!

[Dithydrum]

Really good video ! I'll try that today, it's so cool !

And you are really a very good drummer !

[TeeJayGoldstoff]

great video man

[jipmip2332]

Can you PLEASE make a video on some cool fills you can use in a solo?

[dylan5956]

you should do some a day to remember :]

[MrThatsYe]

@dylan5956 a day to remember blows

[gOtsathing4herMom73]

your such a babe !

i lovee you so much;

iv been watching ur vids for a couple monthss

and u.make.me.so.happy ! :) 

[greendayidiot2k7]

Just what i've been looking for!

thanks so much, keeps the covers/tips & tricks coming!

[theDRUMMERDUDE100]

Hey man thanks I'm going to try that out next time I play! Oh and could you tell me what cymbals you use and what sizes they are?

[Sabasis]

could you possibly do a "5 favorite fills" video or something along those lines =)

[Bolzmann13]

your english has gotten ALOT better

[IVIarZ]

Cool lesson man!

I hope theres more in the future!

[CoverDrummer94]

Wow, this was actually really helpful! I always thought you had to throw the stick up when you did that, but I guess the key is letting go JUST as the stick hits the drum...it is hard as hell, but works! I did it a few times succesfully, but way too many more unsuccesfully XD I'll keep trying and maybe post a video if I ever get it down pat! Thanks man!

[AznGunzPlaya]

wow i didnt even notice your hair is like 3x longer than before

[alliedrum]

lmao. you sound like mike so much with your quotes
