World's Fastest Drummer ? 1278 single strokes in 1 minute

[lordjulius5]

The 2005 rules explicitly state 'no bounces'.

Interlocked bounces, even if they alternate, thus would have disqualified you in 2005.  Of course I can't find the current set of rules, so who knows. You should go to a qualifier for WFD and see how you do.

[ovandolah14]

haha sorry dude not doubles there fore you are not the fastest drummer in the world

[karinetex1]

@ovandolah14 You're right - they're not doubles.

[dickassman420]

pear rah diddle

[TheDrummerboydaniel]

nahh your definitly not the worlds fastest drummer

[yardog159]

Pretty much just bouncing the sticks off the head. Not impressive as all!!

[karinetex1]

They are bouncing, but it's a controlled bounce. I'm not sure what it takes to impress you, but you might want to check out my Fast Samba videos - same technique, different application.

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

I find it funny that so many jealous adolescents have commented on this video. If you think that these are doubles or press rolls, you need to go back to the basics. The motion of the arm is completely irrelevant, and bringing it up in a counter argument shows a disgusting lack in education. If the sticks are moving in a rlrlrlrl fashion, then it's a single stroke roll, which is exactly what's happening in this video. Please reply to me so I can embarrass you.

[stepagalu]

no it's

[Dothadu21]

Dude.. SINGLE STROKES. fucking retard

[MpZeBoXeR]

actually these tips are plastic which cause them do double bounce easier. Record breakers use all wood.

[karinetex1]

@MpZeBoXeR Good one lol! Due to the onslaught of ridiculous comments over the past year, I thought for a second you were serious!

[MpZeBoXeR]

@karinetex1 i gues ill let the dislike bar do the talking from now on

[jonathantc08]

thats an interlaced double stroke buddy

[xdrummerboy24x]

fuck you



[Thanatar2]

Noott single strokes

[nastymonsters2]

learn guitar if you think these are singles..

[saoher]

I can do this too use a pen

[AKArazoor]

This is not single strokes

[PacoTako1]

So that's where I left my lightsaber!

[chuleta284]

Uga chaca uga chaca

[84nastynate84]

does it sound like someone taking a shower in the background to anybody else?

[DrummaMan75]

almost seems like swiss triplets.

[GoldenClanMontagez]

U are all dumb..., its 1279 strokes!

[DRUMMER131071]

These are more than singele strokes you idiot!

[HarmonicaMustang]

dude, get a life.

[SubwayStar7]

I'm not sure whether this is right, but it seems like he's interlocking double-strokes...which would technically made it a single-stroke roll.

[karinetex1]

@SubwayStar7 They are actually interlocked (continuous) triples, but I appreciate the intelligent comment. Thanks for watching!

[RealBearWolf68]

@SubwayStar7 no, because hes not lifting his drum stick. you can't just let it bounce. that is what makes it double or triple. doesn't matter is they are "interlocking" or not if your doing singles, you have a tight grip on the drum sticks. and completely lift them up not just bounce it.

[SubwayStar7]

@RealBearWolf68 While that's true to a degree, technically if he's playing alternating strokes, whether he's bouncing or not, it's still a single-stroke roll.

[blargandstuff7]

really. how could you even put single in the title. if you look at how much your arms move, you can tell it's definitely not singles. and i'm sure someone else could manage that as well

[karinetex1]

@blargandstuff7 It's the sticks, not the arms, that are playing. If you see someone else doing this, please send me a link. I'm still learning as much as I can about it.

[shardprime]

I facepalmed.

[ArchangeOfficial]

It's not single.

Roll.

[twelvelookslike]

wtf thats not single strokes



[tmannpd7290]

he must not know what a single stroke is...

[karinetex1]

@tmannpd7290 right-left-right-left, etc?

[PunkRockDrummer44]

Looks like a Swiss Triplet to me

[grooping]

It's an inverted flam, with a refractory combugliest.

[Mapexfan515]

these arent even good rolls.... beat up ass sticks

[Guitar1sti]

damn this guy invented gravity blast on some fucking gay pad

[Vexybot]

haha nice rolls dumb ass. those are not single strokes.

[beccullity]

i liked the bit where he drummed.

[THESHAKEJUNT22]

who else put there hand in front of worlds fastest drummer?

[jznvmwhat]

i don't even know what that is it isn't actually even a technique

[hauntingthegrave]

fucking light gravity blasts! i could play this and im a guitarist..that can do gravity blasts...

[lucmasterwiggawam]

sorry to say, there are def some flat flams in there and i agree that seems like either a buzz or a double.

[reddragon9918]

@lucmasterwiggawam its not listen to the video and you'd here that its single strokes RLRLRLRL

[SuperCrazyman666]

its ether a double or a buzz

[GeeMcBee]

Why is there a shower running in the background?

[iRaiseTheDead]

How are you not bored?

[MADDRUMS223]

you are stupid i could drum that since i was 9 you amature

[warholatyler]

thats what we can an open roll your just not doing it fast enough to sound good -.-

[427green]

they not single strokes moron

[Komisa696]

i clicked 350 dislike bar in 1sec

[Damiensharksxx]

this is stuped

[Robalcore]

well its only triplets but that doesnt count for single strokes

[foggy2620]

if those were singles your hands would be tighter on your stick dude..... your just bouncing

[Tirreger]

Thais doubel strokes you idiot

[karinetex1]

@Tirreger Idiot? Maybe. Double strokes? Definitely not.

[Tirreger]

@karinetex1 thats not singel strokes

thats doubel strokes or notes

[karinetex1]

@Tirreger I can't believe 12 would be drummers have given a "thumbs up" to this comment. Doesn't anyone know what double strokes are?

[thedrummerkid88]

@karinetex1 You're dumb.

[BloodyBucketSinister]

@karinetex1 Yea. and you clearly don't

[MrKifo4ko]

@Tirreger lol its pure single stroke...

[tama2112bmf]

who the fuck is taking a shower in the background

[vampiricdave]

good job, but single stroke means a single stroke roll. there are no variations. still good going.

[Lorenzo1950]

Whenever someone posts an unusual drum lick there are always the usual insults. I wish those guys would post their own version. It's easy to criticize but it may not be so easy to play it correctly.

[zmccullum]

Unbalanced, horrible grip, and not single strokes... The only record you broke was for the most fail video on youtube.

[2two1one0zero]

wow, congrats..... now f*ck off!

[Lorenzo1950]

Aren't you cheating by playing multiple strokes on each hand? If you were playing single strokes you will only have played 426 strokes.

[karinetex1]

@Lorenzo1950 I guess it depends on how you would define single strokes. I should add that although this video has gotten lots of views, this is in my opinion the least musical and/or useful application of this "3 for 1" technique. I'm learning new ways to apply it every week. My "soca" and "cowbell" videos are a couple of good examples. Thanks for your interest!

[Lorenzo1950]

Ok, can you explain it to an old guy? Each hand is playing independent triplets but isn't a single stroke roll primarily hand to hand? Can you make another video and elaborate or slow it down so I can try it? It looks to me as if both hands are playing independent triplets.

[karinetex1]

@Lorenzo1950 Each hand is playing continuous triplets (Rrr Rrr, etc. and Lll Lll etc.) with no pauses. But they are staggered such that the lefts slightly follow the rights. The result is RLrlrl RLrlrl, etc. I've been planning to do a slow motion video, but haven't got around to it yet. Once you can do the one handed triplets in each hand, try them simultaneously, then try starting one hand right after the other. It should end up sounding like a bad buzz roll.

[charlievergil2]

I'm a guitarist. How the fuck did I get here? 

[Grasshopper110]

ehhh misleading title....

[2015beast]

not single strokes. open handed bad technique. sry bro. - highschool freshmen

[karinetex1]

@2015beast Thanks for watching and your honesty. Can you elaborate? What do you mean by "open handed.' And is that technique inherently bad, or is this a bad example of it?

[2015beast]

@karinetex1 open as in the spacing between your thumb and forefinger pretty much. and no, it's not inherently bad i have a private lesson teacher hates it. haha. and i've struglled to close up my grip as well and he chews me out alot. on the other hand our center snare drummer- who is in the final stage of trying out for the DCI drumline, and our head directors son, also the greatest jazz drummer i know of, for his age- uses alot of open grip. i like my teachers professionla view but wateverwork

[2015beast]

@2015beast sorry. *but whatever works for you. hope i helped bro. keep on playin!

[karinetex1]

@2015beast When playing Moeller, for example, an "open" grip can lead to a weak fulcrum, which allows a lot of reactive energy from the rebound to be lost and unused. This, however, is a completely different style. I use both as needed to play certain patterns. You can see me suddenly change grips midstream in some of my other videos. Keep practicing - it sounds like you're on the right track!

[Icicless]

Did you even do 1 single stroke?

[Tumtupack]

Single strokes??? hahahahahahahahahahahahaahha

[bonhati]

If those are single strokes, then Im Virgil Donati´s dick!

[HandCammerz]

I scoredd 823 :P with DrumOmeter in one Minute

Its hard to do!

[BAZOOKO2U]

not a single single stroke

[0SukMunky0]

Am I missing something? I mean, isn't each hand here playing staggered triplets so it produces sextuplets with the sticking of rlrlrl ?

[karinetex1]

@0SukMunky0 You are exactly right. Thanks for watching!

[Rockingdude1990]

Nice, though to be honest they do look like Flams. How long you been playing?

[karinetex1]

@Rockingdude1990 Almost 20 years, but I just discovered the "3 for 1 triplets" about a year and a half ago. They were always a mystery to me.

[Adamski986]

@karinetex1 do you mean the moeller technique by any chance?

[karinetex1]

@Adamski986 The technique in this video is different than Moeller. I discovered it on my own, so I don't know what it's called. Some people have said it's a "push/pull" triplet. Thanks for watching!

[littlegreenman19]

Y U NO GO FASTER

[RobBurtonGuitar]

Accenting the "one" beat too much, would be more effective keeping them all the same volume.... Nice try though

[karinetex1]

@RobBurtonGuitar Good observation! This technique requires the first note of the triplet to be accented, which is unfortunate when attempting an even roll, but advantageous for playing musical patterns. Check out my "soca" or "cowbell" videos for examples of using it in a musical context.

[mrssehrgeil]

who's taking a shower?

[jpss011876]

I'm not sure of the exact nymber but I know I've seen well over 2000...I'm thinking 2200?

[GavinAndSergey]

I could do this in beginning band

[DrummerBoyCrazy]

o wow a roll

[kabootski729]

Thats called drum rolling. rolling = cheating

[BboyArmo]

I can do this with my ass cheeks after drinking milk

[theoriginalbillholt]

Actually, I 'm enjoying busting your tom-toms: "Because of a lot of misunderstanding, let me add that each hand is playing continuous triplets, but they are slightly staggered. The result is RLrlrl RLrlrl, etc.. . .." Your sticking method incorporates a 'muscle recovery period' as you complete each triplet, allowing your speed and accounting for the change in attack volume throughout the range of each triplet: no fatigue. If you weren't such a conceited dick I'd have let this sleeping dog lie.

[karinetex1]

@theoriginalbillholt Allow me to bust yours. The "change in attack volume" is quite common in music - we call this an "accent".

[theoriginalbillholt]

Not to bust your nuggets, but watch Mike Mangini or Matt Smith to see 'how it's done'. Their styles are different enough to invite argument over proper technique, but they are playing with traditional single-stroke sticking and each has been 'certified' by 'WFD' at one time or another as 'the fastest'. You seem capable and educated, but I'd like to see Mangini or Smith compete against you with the same patterning. Novel developments occur in all arts, but you lack both a Drumometer AND a record.

[theoriginalbillholt]

@theoriginalbillholt By "traditional" I didn't mean to imply 'traditional' as opposed to 'matched' grip. My point is that each single-stroke of Mangini and Smith was produced with a distinct, singular wrist or arm movement and valued accordingly -- no finger-rolled doubles and no cheater triplets as used in this video. Black is black, white is white. I DO apologize for being so abusive and I DID spend too much time on this. I'm in a bad mood. "You be the best in town 'til the best comes around."

[karinetex1]

@theoriginalbillholt "Cheater triplets?" The triplets I know are very nice, and would be offended at that comment. I think you owe them an apology. I hope you're in a better mood now!

[karinetex1]

@theoriginalbillholt This is a different technique, with which you are obviously unfamiliar. To be fair, though, it's very hard for me to tell what Mangini is doing. The WFD videos of his are pretty bad quality, but I'm pretty sure this method is different than his. If you've seen some better quality Mangini videos, please forward them to me. Thanks!

[TheMDestroy]

How many times you masturbate?

[blackiechan471]

he is jus bouncing da drum sticks not the fastest

[wwWrocksaWwW]

Are tose buddy Rich Sticks?

[karinetex1]

@wwWrocksaWwW These are Thomas Lang sticks, but I do use the Buddy's in a similar video, and others as well.

[codylea97]

is this a joke?

[xLucidNightmaresx]

I wouldn't really call that a single stroke man. I would called it a "loosely hold onto a stick and let it flop" stroke. You don't even use your wrists, like at all.

[08mlascelles]

ok, everyone please just shut the fuck up, first of all, drums are a MUSICAL instrument, therefore who gives a flying fuck who's the fastest?! that wont get you gigs and it has nothing to do with music. Secondly, all you guys saying you are faster, just go start a band and then perhaps you will realise that the rest of the world doesnt care about this shit. if you can play a decent grove, complex or simple, it will be far more impressive trust me.

[theoriginalbillholt]

@08mlascelles That's all there really is to say about this, except that the uploader is brimming with arrogance. I am very far out of the loop in terms of the development of the drumming art, but the cadence of this doesn't suggest anything other than multiple hits per stroke -- it's like listening to a blow-out that's still on the rim flapping against the road with each revolution of the wheel. Semantics aside, this unequivocally does NOT qualify as true single-stroke patterning.

[Quackilisush]

anyone can do swisses at this speed dude...i learned how to do them faster in 8th grade.....also less arm, more wrist, get rid of those air pockets.

[karinetex1]

@Quackilisush I see on your channel that 8th grade was not that long ago. Everyone thinks these are either swiss triplets, triple strokes, or buzzes, but they're not. Your advice would be fine if I were playing German grip Moeller, but this is different. The fingers and the fulcrum are the key here. Don't let anyone tell you there's only one right way to play, and keep up the good work.

[Aris94]

@karinetex1 well said

[tronicmanoz]

@karinetex1 PUT YOUR BALLS IN THE DRUM and cut LIKE BME PAIN OLYMPICS

[tomsfilm]

match grip win

[Kr4vt]

gay ! pfff fuckin low !!! theyre not even singles dumb !

[rcast1884]

-_-; u don't know strock? not push. just playing strock!

[humanoidunitone]

fast? thats beginner speed.really!

and,that isn't single strokes.that is what i watched the vid for.was very disappointed.

[karinetex1]

@humanoidunitone Sorry you were disappointed.

[NathanDawsonYEH]

No disrespect at all man, but I would consider these buzz rolls instead of single strokes. If you are serious about improving your single strokes, look into the moeller technique. It helped me so much.

[karinetex1]

@NathanDawsonYEH That's good advice, but this is an unorthodox way to play singles which is new to most drummers. You might be interested in some of my other videos - there's some Moeller stuff as well as more of this "3 for 1"/ push-pull triplet method.

[NathanDawsonYEH]

@karinetex1 It's definitely interesting! I did notice that you were trip-letting on each stroke, that was why I was a little uneasy in the fact that you named them single strokes. I would simply call these triplet rolls if that exist, (clearly it does, I'm referring to the naming of it). I will check out your other stuff! :]

[karinetex1]

@NathanDawsonYEH Yeah, I'm not sure what they're called. What's ultimately being played is RLrlrl, which is why I consider them single strokes. But I've also been told that this is "cheating."

[NathanDawsonYEH]

@karinetex1 Ignore people that claim you're cheating man, everyone has a different way of playing rudiments. When the moeller technique came out, it was heavily frowned upon, until it was demonstrated and explained by Jim Chapin, (I believe he was the one...).

[NathanDawsonYEH]

@NathanDawsonYEH Oh, and I checked out your other grooves, I like how you incorporate your "3 for 1" in with that cowbell groove, it was neat!

[MegaRedrum96]

LIGHTSABHA!!!!!

[crysis2suchtie]

excrement smeared shit

[lazur1]

Actually a very slow press roll. On this basis, I can do 1,300 without trying hard, and I'm not a drummer.

[jksh0704]

I've seen better but good for him

[jforbest]

so shit

[maxinator5001]

i wish i could do that

[Ndykim]

you see.. you noob .. thats call the crappy roll.. not singles .. dumb ass

[TheLmds73]

es una basofia este video yo se tocar mejor y mira q toco guitarra XD

[narutonuu]

man fucker dnt do another vidoe no more stupid ass......

[danbekistan]

The really astounding figure is that over 177 people have watched this for 1:20 and THEN taken more time to argue about it. Why don't you put down the ruler, pull up your pants and go make a video of your own?!?

[leoymela]

Sorry dude, but you must be an idiot. It doesn´t make sense. When you make 1200 single strokes in a minute, let´s talk and erase this post.

[19Drums93]

mh.. if you like doing your "singles" that much you should go too ah drumming school first where you learn what "single" means (;

but like in your vid thats just FAKED!!

[Scoztrix]

thats not single strokes

[Spiritsoldier23]

The drummer of my band is doing this while he is sleeping. Seriously, this is not really special.

[mjhaner21]

you are really really not good.

[TheMagwe25]

@karinetex1 You want me to show you? I know plenty of good drummers that could do this.

[adamb916]

he is not the faster drummer Australia man was doing 3000 reps a min

[karinetex1]

@adamb916 Send me a link. I'd like to see that.

[TheMagwe25]

@fatty001 I ruined it with number 214. World's best disliker?

[fatty001]

@TheMagwe25 (Y) :P

[TheMagwe25]

Dude, I'm a bass player and I can do that just by reading my brother's band books.

[karinetex1]

@TheMagwe25 I'm pretty sure this isn't in your brother's books.

[karinetex1]

@TheMagwe25 If it really is in a book, I'd like to know which one. I'm trying to learn more about this technique. Post it in a comment or send me a private message. Thanks!

[liamzuid]

Whose taking a shower in the background lol!

[MapexVXwowowewo]

My granny can single stroke a single stroke faster than ur grant can deep throat a single stroke

[StaphAureus88]

my granny can play more faster than your 'single' stroke~~~ XD

[DoughBoy112196]

Hou is in da showr

[MrCreeper679]

NO sorry but thats no singles

[TheLaziali21]

bullshit

[202drummerboy]

by that kind of drumin i can do on 300 i promiss

[karinetex1]

@202drummerboy ???

[linkinfacu]

look everybody know that you're not playing singles, but its ok if you think you're, Just look at this video and compare it to yours /watch?v=gFGS1uBthO4&feature=r­elated you really think that you're fastest? be honest

[karinetex1]

@linkinfacu Matt is amazing, and I can't play that fast using that technique. In my video I'm using a different technique. See if you can find a video that demonstrates the technique I use, which is a "3 for 1" type. Also, check out Jojo Mayer or Zac Sullivan using an interlaced "2 for 1." I'm still learning, so send me whatever you find. Thanks!
