  • any recommended hand techniques?

  • @silverpearlman Learn the moeller technique..there are alot of videos on it.. :)

  • Hey I enjoy your videos, do you have any tips for pain in the wrists? I can play at these speeds for about 10 min then I start to having use more arm than wrist and fingers because of pain.

  • @klootzaak1975 With the fingers I feel ya man.. The only thing to do is everyday play as long as you can till you feel your fingers getting tense.. no pain just tense.. Take a break and do it again in 20 to 30 mins. Repeat –Repeat-Repeat. Don’t play until you are feeling pain because you can damage nerves and other crap in your wrists and hands. To build madd stamina you have to build hand strength. When I was playing a lot I used a practice pad and use to play blasts while watching Tv .

  • @nx2overide no you only get pain when you twist your hand to play. make sure you keep your wrist straight then you should be fine. Thats what my drum teacher told me

  • @spyrospyrospyro123 Twist your wrist? We are not using out wrist to play the blast only to hold the position on the stick.. as you can see in the video I'm playing with my wrist slightly bent.. as long as you are using your fingers to move the stick this is fine. (with little wrist movement). but if you notice my thumbs are pointed up on my snare hand if you blast using your wrist like that full on wrist you will get carpal tunnel quick.

  • I argue that single bass drum beat is the true blast beat. Double bass I always thought as was cheating.

  • Hey sir, what snare is that? :o

  • @nx2overide what kind of a custom ride is that? and how big? it sounds amazing!

  • That snare sounds fucking sweet.

  • press 4

  • I was always fast, i just need more control and endurance

  • I like how you eye camera while playing xD

  • @851852093114208513 you can do it either way..

  • Should the snare line up with the kick or the cymbal, because I've seen both. I can line up the kick with the cymbal if I use my left hand for the snare, and then the opposite if I reverse it, but that's just because I apparently have my foot synced up with my right hand already o.0
