I have checked out all your video's several times (over and over againg) and here is my judgement:
I think these drum lessons are the best I can find on the internet, becouse they best cover all fysical excercises for the beginner, and I can know, becouse I am one. I want to thank you for your lessons and sharing your modest and effective approach with room for creativity! Greetings from Amsterdam!
@LeonVictoire Thank you very much! The intent was not to try and teach any particular method, but just to share some exercises that I've used to strengthen my playing, and increase my speed and independence. The important thing people need to understand is that one size does not fit all. So it's beneficial for each person to identify their own weaknesses and work on them. Hopefully some of these suggestions will do that. I'm glad that you found something useful! And greetings from America!
Dave, I play keyboards and I must say these tips have not helped at all. Keeping my heels down and flim flamming while I'm paradiddling my Swiss cheese - it's really messed up all the beautiful classical pieces I used to play.
i think this training is great, but you're triplets are not spaced evenly... instead of 1 trip let 2 trip let 3 trip let 4 trip let you play it more like 1 & a 2 & a 3 & a 4 & a.
Good ear! I never took a lesson, (until about 2 months ago), so my terminology was obviously incorrect back then. My apologies to all. Maybe they should be called "Ruffs"? Or even reverse ruffs? Also due to my lack of a proper musical education, I called some things in DT2 "flam rolls" and found out that they are really "Swiss Flam Triplets". Technical mistakes abound, I'm sure. But the general ideas are still sound, I think. Thanks for watching. Hope it helped a little!

That's because this training only benefits simian keyboardists who play up top with their feet while eating bananas!
