Do you maintain that grip when your playing normally? or is that grip just used for wrist exercises? I've always held my sticks more like how dave weckl describes in his video (found on youtube) "A Natural Evolution". where the fulcrum is more at the middle finger. but after practicing the exercises how you said, I noticed signifigant improvment right away.
it doesn't seem to be a very efficient technique. if you let the stick rebound then you will only have one motion between every stroke instead of three (throwing stick down with wrist, stopping stick, pulling stick back up). also, gripping the stick in that way doesn't allow the stick to fully resonate which in turn will not allow the drum to fully resonate.

Hey chopzmasta, why dont you shut your pie-hole, and let Randy do his thing, have you seen his other videos, this guy is a great teacher...if you can do better post you're own damn video
hi van im a huge fan of your lessons:) i've been watching your vids since 2007!!! i noticed that you teach everything but the moeller technique. i really want to learn this the right way so i can play drum rudiments really fast!!!!!!!
so you explained how you hold your stick, you explained the exercise which paradiddles and doubles, you spoke about using the wrists only....... well, where was the talk about the stroke/stick positions??? the up strokes, tap strokes, down strokes and full strokes??? strokes/stick positioning should always be taught to beginners for sticking exercises. but great exercise.
this man says with the bounce you wont have alotta control or volume is false, you control the volume you use the arm in conjuction with the wrist and you will get your volume and power, or the moeller whip even can give you the volume you want,if you want to single stroke as fast as this guy doubles or still pulll of paradiddles at 200 bpm with ease, then this mans lessons is not the way to go.
this is mans tutorial or lesson on stick control is misinformative, clearly this man misunderstood, the free stroke or letting the stick bounce technique, you do use your wrist, but u dont squeeze the fulcrum as this man is doing and you control the stick bouncing back, notice this mans hands he hits the head of the pad and PULLS his stick and wrist up, thats a WAISTED motion,also one should incorporate the moeller method for accenting at a FAST SPEED.
I notice a lot of renown drummers hold there sticks like this when showing the technique but in live videos of there bands they often slide back to the end of the stick.
I have a big issue with my left hand idk what the heck is wrong with it lol i can do all the fills or patters with my right hand but my left need a lot more practice.
No offense.. idk y you are saying 1234567 for beginners because when they get to harder shit like 7/8 they're gona be like uhhh wtf? cuz ur sayin 7 is on the downbeat.. jus sayin b/c they're actually gona be thinking 1234567 wen it's really 1234561
This man shows solid foundational technique. It all begins with rudiments. Learn them all, with proper technique and control, and it'll increase your ability ten fold. Don't know why he says "shoot me" at a buzz roll though lol. Nothing wrong with a buzz roll, it's just another type of roll.
whats the point calling someone fat? that is so immature thing to say. does it make feel better about yourself, when your calling someone fat? everybodys metabolism slowsdown in age, even if you eat pretty normaly and healthy, you can still be little overweight.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hey just to let you know that how you are holding your sticks is called matched grip so stop calling it your own style that's what every teacher teaches you first
@metachozoite Wow, I do not like people like you. Look at some of the modern day greats. Thomas Lang, Thomas Pridgen, Danny Carrey, Brann Dailor. All those guys are insane professional drummers, and all use matched grip either some of the time or all of the time. Traditional grip is void these days, and that's all their is to it. Matched grip is better, and there are facts to stand behind it.
@XxStrongDrums1996xX Wow. I do not really care what you like. Keep your opinions about me personally to your self. Most drum corps play tradational...no one wants to hear you cry like a pussy!
@metachozoite Look at you telling me that when you already came on here and expressed how you think matched grip is a flawed way to play. I am in know way "crying like a pussy", I'm simply expressing the fact that matched grip opens for more possibilities in modern day drumming. Maybe if you learned your facts before saying that matched grip is bad. If drums were never tilted to the side, traditional grip wouldn't exist. There would simply be no purpose for it.
@XxStrongDrums 1996xX lol very funny coming from someone who knows nothing about me...let me elaborate a bit fro you: I am a dca/dci drummer from early 2000's I have played with spirit of atlanta, and corpsvets where i played TENORS (match grip btw)...I also played jazz with guys who went to aim in atlanta (traditional grip)..I have 17 years of playing and even some teaching experience...i know all about drums the rudiments how to professional tune ect...I know what I am talking about k?
@Strong Drums 1996xX I have been watching some buddy rich videos where he explained the whole thing about distance and equilibrium between his hands....also..in a world where everybody strives for success and the means to an end...why should someone do things the conventional or popular way? Being different is a huge key to success, and is something that can identify one play from the next...I have mastered both grips and just find traditional to be a bit more challenging...
@vansdrumming no need to use sarcasm on me i was just letting you know what it was called because you seem like you don't know what you are talking about all the time in this video.
@jy122 geez....way to be kind about it....it really is his own style, because most teachers will tell you to try and use your middle finger and thumb as the fulcrum when playing german grip...SO IN ALL ACTUALITY THIS IS RVP GRIP
@jp60476 Actuality all the teachers i have talked to have said that matched grip is between your thumb and index finger. i am friends with very professional drummers. one of them i talked to is actually internationally known. he is one of the bucket boys. look them up on youtube they play on buckets, pots and pan and stuff like that.
@jy122 Well, I guess thats the beauty of music...its not technique, its sound that matters. As far as the fulcrum stuff, Im simply stating; I use and what Ive learned from Jojo Mayer and Dave Weckl and guys who taught them like Joe Morello....middle finger and thumb
@jy122 Hey actually your kinda wrong in a sense because the basics of it is its called match grip but everyone does do it differently with their hands. If you were to pick 2 random drummers from the street i bet you that the way they hold the sticks is different even if they are doing match grip. Unless of course you go to a Top of the Line drumline.
@jy122 your retarded. No shit its matched grip, but there are tons of styles of matched grip. There's french grip, german grip, american grip and theres probably a shit ton more. He just holds his sticks like that which is different than others.
This is a very good video. I believe the emphasis is " Use your fingers only if you have to" . Play everything with the wrist for good solid drumming!
Good beginning video to build wrist strength and teach rudiments, which are both key. He covered that. He also said later you can incorporate your fingers. Any good snare drummer from a HS band can do these exercises with practice. With wrist strength and control speed will come to you. Keep drumming.
I've seen almost every video of yours, and I must say, thank you so very much. Your videos have helped me to become a better drummer over time. You are a huge inspiration. You're a freakin' amazing drummer, everyone who says otherwise is simply jealous.
hey i hey a question im having a problem with my single strokes i got all other basic ruduments fast but just not my single strokes can you help me with get them up the speed
Nice m8. Never underestimate rudiments 'cause they're the keystone of good drumming. And ofc - as Mr. Portnoy once said: "Practice, practice, practice!"
Dude, you're totally not using all wrist.... Might originate in the wrist, but once you start going fast not singles, so don't tell people that thats what you're doing. Makes it really confusing for the people just starting out, wondering why they can't get to that speed by doing "normal" singles. I also can't stand it when instructors down play french grip as some uncontrollable grip. I don't have enough space for how close minded this video is.
@TheKurtKM actually this vid isnt close minded you are being close minded and so what its not all rist as a musiciann you should be open minded to learn new ways of playing an instrument.
@TheDragonmaster18 you're misinterpreting my comment. I'm extremely open minded, using any soft touch jazz stuff, molloer (i'm sure that not spelled right) to using fingers or wrist. He is the guy saying French grip is uncontrollable. You should use everything. I'm not saying his technique is stupid or anything of the sort. I'm pointing out he's not using the same technique that he trying to show us how to do.
.............Every time he goes fast he uses an open close thing, or a bounce. Which is fine if that's what he's teaching... but he's not. He is saying at the beginning wrist only. Then you can start incorporating fingers. Then he doesn't even tell you how to do that.
@vansdrumming this is so cool man. I live in India. I bought the same ones (mil 2) from a music store in SA, TX in 2003 man. they are awesome. No stick vibration at all. i only use them for practice...
dude this guy is epic... you posers with comments like "work on your teaching skillz, you technique is flawed." Do you guys not see how fluid and good this?
i have always been tought to use the back part of your hand as a axis point and to lossen your thumb and finger....you get way more power out of it....ummm never force the stick down with your arm when working your wrist. i have played snare for MCM and SCV you might need to work on your teaching skills if you want your students to become better players.....this isnt ment as a bad comment
did you not listen? you just use your wrist to start with genius then bring the fingers in later, and all you people slagging him off for being a "fat slob" grow up....who cares what size he is? i didnt realise you had to be skinny to play drums!
He's demonstrating downstrokes. It's generally recommended to start off with rebound strokes first and get those happening correctly, then move on to downstrokes. This is outlined very nicely in Mark Wessell's "A Fresh Approach to the Snare Drum." See the snare education section on the Vic FIrth Website.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@drumcoda ... i agree ... this guys technique is a recipe for disaster .... a young drummer could actually hurt themselves using this fat slob`s techinique .... i am watching him do paraddiddles right now .. i have never seen anyone play that stiffly ... an awful technique
To work on hand to hand consistency, i usually do a measure RlrrllRlrrllRlrr then LrllrrLrllrrLrll and repeat, it builds up paradiddle/paradiddlediddles.
Thats mostly for the marching guys out there for you. haha. (:
@Spydr2000 go to the vic firth web site , click on rudiments ... work on the basic ones ..singles , doubles , paradiddles , flams , and drags .... do not worry about how long to practice them ... just get yourself going and then you can make a practice routine
never say your not cut out for an instrument. if you can pick up a stick and hit a pad, your cut out for drums. the more you play, the better you become. if you want some inspiration, go look up the band "Def Leppard." look at then live. theyre an awesome band, with great drumlines. yet the drummer only has one arm. if some one who only has one arm can get that famous, then you certainely can
ive been drumming for 4 years and i use a remo practice pad which u can get at guitar center for only 20 r 12 dollars or there snares and kits ae cheap and good too
I wouldn't go for that pad because usually there really expensive but you can get one just like it its called a HQ real feel which is the same thing but 30$ cheaper.
I'm right handed and I'm a begginer drummer. And I usually start of playing a beat really well. Then my left hand kinda looses control. I've tried everything but I just can't control it. And I have to practise at school after hours because my mum refuses to get me a kit and I have to teach myself! Could someone please help me! xx
just keep at it...i'm actually left handed and i've been drumming for about 3 yrs or so and i just practiced a lot and it does help...practice slowly for a while until you have it down and then speed up a little and then a little bit more until you get to the speed you want
you can use the underside of your shoe as a nice improvised pad, secondly play quarter notes with your left hand. start out slow and work your way up to as fast as you can go, try to keep going and work through the burn, practice practice practice and a little more practice should do it, there's no magic way to hold the stick and become an amazing drummer.
@KayleighAndJess the problem is because your left hand muscles are naturally less developed since you use your right for s much more in everyday life. This is totally normal and will adjust with time. A good exercise is to just play slow triplets, focusing on keeping the accents even sounding, so left is just as loud as right. This will develop muscles and control. The best way to fix this is just time though, so don't give up :)

I'm pointing out he's not using the same technique that he trying to show us how to do.

.............Every time he goes fast he uses an open close thing, or a bounce. Which is fine if that's what he's teaching... but he's not. He is saying at the beginning wrist only. Then you can start incorporating fingers. Then he doesn't even tell you how to do that.

i have always been tought to use the back part of your hand as a axis point and to lossen your thumb and finger....you get way more power out of it....ummm never force the stick down with your arm when working your wrist. i have played snare for MCM and SCV you might need to work on your teaching skills if you want your students to become better players.....this isnt ment as a bad comment

did you not listen? you just use your wrist to start with genius then bring the fingers in later, and all you people slagging him off for being a "fat slob" grow up....who cares what size he is? i didnt realise you had to be skinny to play drums!

evanthejew12 1 year ago
He's demonstrating downstrokes. It's generally recommended to start off with rebound strokes first and get those happening correctly, then move on to downstrokes. This is outlined very nicely in Mark Wessell's "A Fresh Approach to the Snare Drum." See the snare education section on the Vic FIrth Website.

@drumcoda ... i agree ... this guys technique is a recipe for disaster .... a young drummer could actually hurt themselves using this fat slob`s techinique .... i am watching him do paraddiddles right now .. i have never seen anyone play that stiffly ... an awful technique
sweetfly66 1 year ago
To work on hand to hand consistency, i usually do a measure RlrrllRlrrllRlrr then LrllrrLrllrrLrll and repeat, it builds up paradiddle/paradiddlediddles.
Thats mostly for the marching guys out there for you. haha. (:

@Spydr2000 go to the vic firth web site , click on rudiments ... work on the basic ones ..singles , doubles , paradiddles , flams , and drags .... do not worry about how long to practice them ... just get yourself going and then you can make a practice routine

I2OBBIE 2 years ago
never say your not cut out for an instrument. if you can pick up a stick and hit a pad, your cut out for drums. the more you play, the better you become. if you want some inspiration, go look up the band "Def Leppard." look at then live. theyre an awesome band, with great drumlines. yet the drummer only has one arm. if some one who only has one arm can get that famous, then you certainely can

I'm right handed and I'm a begginer drummer. And I usually start of playing a beat really well. Then my left hand kinda looses control. I've tried everything but I just can't control it. And I have to practise at school after hours because my mum refuses to get me a kit and I have to teach myself! Could someone please help me! xx

just keep at it...i'm actually left handed and i've been drumming for about 3 yrs or so and i just practiced a lot and it does help...practice slowly for a while until you have it down and then speed up a little and then a little bit more until you get to the speed you want
sonofdevil13 2 years ago
you can use the underside of your shoe as a nice improvised pad, secondly play quarter notes with your left hand. start out slow and work your way up to as fast as you can go, try to keep going and work through the burn, practice practice practice and a little more practice should do it, there's no magic way to hold the stick and become an amazing drummer.
strangevan 2 years ago
@KayleighAndJess the problem is because your left hand muscles are naturally less developed since you use your right for s much more in everyday life. This is totally normal and will adjust with time. A good exercise is to just play slow triplets, focusing on keeping the accents even sounding, so left is just as loud as right. This will develop muscles and control. The best way to fix this is just time though, so don't give up :)
