Couldn't help it. After 30 years, I really suck. If I play marching band stuff, some comes back naturally, but rudiments are so slow and I used to be able to paradiddle with the good mediocre guys :-)

@Cornellbtc It'll all come back in time with some practice! That's awesome that you're starting to pick it back up too! Let me know if I can help in any way and I'll do my best to do so!

Perfect lesson. My 11 year old is loving drums. I played 30 years ago :-)

@Cornellbtc Thanks for the kind words! Very cool to hear that your child is loving the drums! Have you started to pick up the sticks again as well?!

thank you for your video, it was great help. cheers mate

[SnareDrumTV]

@shovelthumbs78 Glad it helped! Thank you for watching!

@DudeItsIsaac Any time! That process works like a charm for just about anything if you're willing to put the time into it!

@SnareDrumTV Thanks! I never thought of that!:D

@DudeItsIsaac Practice them slowly with a metronome. Just loop them over and over on one tempo for a while. Become consistent with an even rhythm and great tone quality. Once you're comfortable with that, speed the tempo up 5 bpm. Rinse and repeat 5 bpm at a time. Slowly but surely you'll be able to break your speed barrier and play them faster but you have to build a solid foundation first so start slow.

@SnareDrumTV I can't get it with my left stick, it stays the same speed and no matter how hard I try I can't get it to speed up! Help?
