Drum Stick Twirling & Spinning whilst playing Blog 07

[Zilerrezko]

Is this the trick that the drummer does in this video " /watch?v=haeyj-aLuAE&feature=c­hannel ", he does it quick, but close up at around 2:07

[surferboyj]

i've got a good method... don't fucking do it!

[aryhysteria]

terlalu banyak ngomongnya .. gak jelas !!!

[fallenrockzone]

I've seen so many drummers do this, they move so quickly I could never figure out how it was done. Thank you so much for clarifying this. It's not nearly as complicated s I though.

[SuperJgan]

[snarlingrabiddog5150]

two words.....Steve Moore.....you'll shit

[godclldnsck2day]

i have been practicing that paradiddle trick forever, its not REALLY easy to do. lol

[davo84tke]

Good stuff bro

[alcoholicavenger1]

it's obvious that you were a drum mager in high school.? the part where you talk about incorporating the flash sticking in music and having it mess up ypur timeing is true .your a good teacher

[TheSaxDrummer123]

I actually learned the "fake twirl" a couple years ago by slowing down the Afterlife music video. lol

[sebastianbasal]

YOU ARE SOOOOOOO BORING.......

[jordanjcm]

Fuck this circuis shit !

[maria112283]

Plizze make more vídeos but try to do it slower

[brandondurr1122]

youre the man, sweet accent

[allthatremains2009]

im right handed but i can only twirl fowards with my left hand.

[CyberForceGames]

now teach us what to do if the stick fell of your hand while trying in a show full of people, not youtube viewers!!

[madpyroman]

@CyberForceGames Usually during a live show, you'd have spares. If you really wanted a technical answer :]

[jojomonkeyfish101]

It hurts your fingers though when you do the fake twirl

[Allenvor]

i can do it fine, but i dont seem to have the "finger strength", or whatever, to do it fast...can anyone tell me why i cant seem to do it fast?

[Shadowbangg]

The "Fake Twirl" is the better and more real twirl, but i use both. Better to have more on hand, right?.

[k3n2020]

@cacahut Actually 2 weeks after i posted that i mastered it. Got it down on my left hand too. Thanks for the advice though ^_^

[Dagg3r89]

Man I have to say I want to learn how to spin the I guess useless way but this is definitely the more important one to learn seeing as how it's so easy to implement into playing. Just want to say ty this is the most brilliant technique for live performance I have learned yet by far. With practice you can really turn some heads on stage if you can pull this trick fast enough! even if people don't think it's hard cause you don't really spin the sticks it still looks awesome! TY GREAT TUTORIAL! : D

[wir3d4sound]

4:50 - Freaking awesome. I don't care if it's "Fake" that's so hardcore!

[MikeyTdrums]

do it while playing like i do!

check my vid out i worked mad hard on it

[IIEnlightenedII]

dude the the twirl takes up just as much time as the spinning, and spinning takes more skill, especially to incorporate it into drumming, and in fact you can spin and play at the same time, it makes drumming more stylish for stylish people. but yeah spinning, if youre good at it, can be done quickly enough to create no time lag in your playing at all.

[Dagg3r89]

@IIEnlightenedII True but the fact is this is WAY easier then actually spinning the sticks. I want to learn both but this is awesome for a quick trick as in I need to learn it for a huge show I have next week. I feel a lot safer "twirling" then spinning for the time being. Even if I could spin like a pro this technique is really easy really kewl and LOOKS GOOD! And in the long run thats all that matters. Rather impress a crowd of 200 hundred people then just 1 stuck up drummer like you.

[IIEnlightenedII]

@Dagg3r89 well its just practice, if you practice the spinning believe me you'll get it down, you just gotta keep going at it.

[Dagg3r89]

@IIEnlightenedII I will man it's just so hard. Some people catch onto it so quickly and man I have the hardest time.

[IIEnlightenedII]

@Dagg3r89 im still practicing a bit myself, and it is hard, you're right some people do just have a nack for it, but still i believe everyone has the potential for it if they set their mind to it.

[AriochStarr]

I never knew there was so much info for something so simple

[BiggySn1p3r]

Thomas Lang is AMAZING! at playing with stick tricks.

[ILOVEJUICEYJUICE]

@RottingxZombie lol you fail

[FlyingHeadKick]

thanks this helped i know how to do it now :)

[FlyingHeadKick]

thanks alot this really helped me :)

[thisismirul]

this is the most useful, brief and complete stick twirling tutorial on youtube. thank you. :)

[nitsuj1231]

stupid, definitely would start to rip your finger skin

[jordanjcm]

You should call this the "fake twirl, while holding your sticks, WRONG, tutorial"

useless!!

[EricSJan10]

Omg i thought this would be easier than spinning but I still cant do this right

[mixboy32]

you are so fucking wrong at spinning the drum stick..omg..you`re pretty good at drumming though.

[xAlWaYsxExClUdEdx]

Very helpful thanks a lot!

[chrismahaffey6666]

fag

[TheSubdivisions]

For the people who can not get it, it just takes time and practice just like everything else. After 2-3 weeks practice you will have it :D

[hornsby77]

Thanks mate!

[bcwdrums]

cool man.....

[Slipknotter666]

I can't do the backwards twirl... I can only do the forward twirl :(

[tjg1010]

it is actually easier to do it after hitting the drum

[brendo11]

ok... it took you 2:45 to actully tell us how to. the rest your just repeating yourself about twirling. i dont get it tho? your like flicking your wrist back when your doing a slow demo, but normally your just pulling your right point down to push the stick up

[governorgilf]

Excellent tutorial---thanks! This guy is so smooth and fast. Time to get to work!

[Bigman85oO]

Good Teaching! Regardless if you had dropped the stick earlier, you still did a good job teaching!

[k3n2020]

It keeps slipping out of my fingers. Goes higher and higher up until it falls off. Any suggestion?

[posiedonpowertrio]

that happens to me too and i don't know what to do

[percussionclinic]

Hi - well it is a little different for different peope, but MOST often if the stick is traveling thn there are two likely causes. One the fingers are too tight on the stick making a firm V shape means the stick can only slip out more easily. As you get better you will tend to relax the hand and it sticks better. The other thing is the tip of the index finger - give it a little curl in through every spin as shown to hold the stick down into the V. Good luck!

[k3n2020]

Thanx, That was semi helpful. it is improving and seems to be stable at slow speeds. Will just have to practice. My drum teacher does it really fast and he says that everytime it starts travelling he eases his fingers a bit but when i try easing it flies out. i have to find that balance so i dont let it off too easy.

[MrNickle5]

@k3n2020 thats what she said.

[k3n2020]

lol.

[Jesuslikestoyoyo]

@k3n2020 if you use the pinky finger as the last one in the twirl it will stay about the same area on the stick :)

[RadonZack]

@k3n2020 thats waht she said

[Squigo2]

I wouldn't use the twirling technique, it feels quite weird to play it without the index finger on the stick.

[vampireanimewoo]

well woopy doo

[partyhatpimp22]

lol

[mrammaji]

Great tutorial but I disagree bout spinning. It is a great move and it has better show than twirling. And not all drumming is full on with both hands. I do spinning when there is a 1/4 or 1/2 note pose

[JimmyKadesch]

Good tutorial! Hey guys check out this CRAZY stick trick drum solo on the DRUM SET!!

[magicdrummer411]

[Miingno]
