ive been playing match grip since i started until recently i switched to traditional and feel it so comfortable, but i slowed down a lot since switching. any tips on impoving speed? id greatly appreciate it.
my "trick" with building left hand speed was simply to play a whole lot of different drumline style warmups paying specific attention to the motion of the stick more than the actual grip. i would make sure the left stick mirrored the right since my hands obviously wouldn't match.
Ive been learning drums for about a year, & havent been able to afford lessons, so things like this pocket rockout series are pretty invaluable. so yeah, I just wanted to say thanks for helping me with my traditional grip. keep the lessons coming.
Very good and informative video. However, it is not called an "inverted paradiddle diddle." What that is is the basic six stroke roll rudiment. I practice, and incorporate that rudiment into my everyday fills.
Just thought I would clear that up. But I don't hold anything against your video. Great lesson, very cut and dry and straight to the point.
yup thats a six stroke roll. try as a quintuplet rlrrl accenting the first right and last left. repeat. not really the same thing but a fun and easy lick that gets you into playing an odd note grouping and flying around the kit.
acctually a six stroke roll is some kind of a paradiddle-diddle, it's just inverted and started with the left hand...
Paradiddle-diddle:
RLRRLL
then you play it inverted, start with the single left hand instead of the single right hand (the same as you do with paradiddles, to get RLLRLRRL or stuff like this.)
LRRLLR
then you play this pattern with your right instead of your left hand and you got the six stroke roll.
ya know dude drumming aside you have a way of speaking, youd be good at human resource or on air news cast or the like. anyway ,i practice doing simple double stokes, single stokes and paradiddles, but im slow so im trying to learn moeller method. jever get into it?
haha, thanks for noticing.. in my previous videos the drus were all individually mic'd plus 2 overheads and a separate vocal mic.. but in this one i just used two. one on the floor and one on a stand.
Another wicked video, i always wondered what those types of fills were, i always thought the were just doubles with really awkward accenting or something..
Im thinking of doing a drum lesson on doubles on the kik drum and why it's just un-neccesary to use double pedal to flam. Like when mike portnoy does 16th fills split between kik and snr or toms, 2 snare 2 ki, 4 snare, 2 kik, 4 tom 2 kik, 2 tom 2 kik. type fils. Just as easy to play double on a single kik rather than flaming the double kik
lol i love waching people play the drums haha
