video 11 Reverse Kinetic Chain--Finger Demonstration

Reverse Kinetic Chain--Finger Demonstration. The purpose of this video is to show how the motion of the lever stroke can be reversed. With bigger strokes the motion begins in the upper body, at the larger bones and/or muscles and joints, and creates a kinetic chain—a transfer of energy through the lever system to the smaller bones, muscles and joints—which ultimately propels the hand/stick lever towards the drum. However, When a drummer proficient in the lever stroke loosens the grip and uses the fingers to start the movement of the stick, the kinetic chain is reversed, and the energy will travel from the hand, up the arm, and into the upper body.

Dude this is like watching a video of my hands :s i have been told to just use fingers over that specifically what you are doing whats your take on that coz its 100% exactly the same as that

Thanks for your comment. I don't think you can "just use your fingers" specifically, because they are connected to your hand, wrist, forearm, etc. One thing I have noticed about the drumming greats, is you can see motion thoughout their entire arms, even when it appears they are only using their fingers. I would say if your hands look like mine, then you already have good technique...and you are taking good advantage of using the power of the entire arm, as I do.

Ahh sweet thanks for the reply :) yep thats how my hands look. I do spend lots of time on my hands but iv been told from loads of people err just use fingers and all that but if this can reach those speeds i wont have to adjust my technique :)

Thanks for your interest! I am going to be uploading a new video in about a month or so that will be 18 minutes long and will explain my technique in detail. Please subscribe to my channel, and then you will be notified when it is available. It will be called "Lever Stroke Lesson 1".

I can see that you have a good technique, but I don't know what it...is. Could you explain your grip and motion for me? Thanks.

you will get less sound if you fingerstroke.and louder what you are doing. I think this way of doing it is more appliable in a whole drumming play.

[leverstroke]

Thanks dude, I will. Sorry I missed your comment earlier.

I think there's nothing wrong with the wrist movement in this video. It's not done parallel to the ground (or vertically when using the french grip). >.>

at least imo.

[leverstroke]

I think you are right, but the point of the video is the whole arm needs to move as a unit in order to play with speed. With really fast drummers the same motion is happening, but it gets to the point where it is barely noticeable and very refined. It is not possible to play relaxed and with speed if you are keeping your wrists immobilized. Thanks you for your comment.

i don't know but i learned it this way ^^

but i think if u move them u cant go much faster
