Brilliant.

This is just push pull. There are hundreds of videos on youtube teaching this better. Jojo's dvd is the best I've seen.

@tonerxx11 You're awesome.
-
watch this video all the time. Best teacher since dawson?

Stick control is Genesis :)

Make sure you put a minute on each exercise at a set tempo then increase it and play that for one minute until you get up to 200 and beyond.
What I do anyway lol.
-
This stuff comes naturally if you play triplets starting slow with a metronome then work your way up and play all the variations from The Stick Control Book.

@Andoriu116 I think at that point you have to switch to the Moeller technique (if you don't know it you should definitely look it up). Depending on your chops, Moeller technique can allow you to play continuous eighths, sixteenths, or whatever else at a high tempo. It's a pain to develop, but once you have it you can pretty much blow anyone's mind who doesn't know what you're doing.

@Andoriu116 yes, it can. jojo mayer does a similar kind of thing, and a lot of drummers with refined hand technique use that continuous drop motion to play repeated notes.
-
Can that drop technique also be used to play fast, continuous straight eighths?
The lousy sound has more to do with the recording

Without giving away any names, lately I've come across some DVDs by great DRUMMERS who should just stay away from teaching: they only make it more confusing. When you catch gentlemen such as John Riley and Ed Soph, you realize that being a teacher is a completely different ball game. This is a very helpful video lesson, in a short amount of time.
