[komposteradgalning]

@ikepowell It's not different, in the notation there's two 32nd notes (which I'm playing with my left hand aka. "the drag" you're talking about) :) I'm glad it helped you out!

Hi Fredrik! I love this video!!! You are a REALLY great teacher!!! We're all lucky to have you because you are an AWESOME drummer and so nice! Thanks for being so generous with your mad skills!!!!! Also, how long did it take you to be able to do this? And if you decided to take this video off of youtube for some reason will you please let me know first if you think of it? I have this in my favorites and would like to work on this but it might take me some time to get it.

Your friend,

Joey : )

@flpnflp Joey! Man, thank you SO much! I can't even describe with words how much it means to hear you say that! I'd say it probably took me about a week to get it down completely (about 5-10 minutes a day). Also, don't worry, I'm not gonna remove it :) Good luck and please let me know when you get it!

great video!  there are many stick trick videos on youtube, but not very many are this easy to follow. also, what type of kit do you have? your snare sounds amazing!

Kul att någon annan kollar lika mycket på Mike Johnston som jag! haha :D

Grym lektion!

good video I learned how to flip my sticks a little while ago and it looks cooler if you'd hit the crash cymbol with the hand you just flipped the stick with
