Playing a pad gives more bounce , I find to play a snare to increase finger strength. Any feedback ? I played acoustic drums and I had Tama electronic on my floor toms. It seemed that my action on the floor toms was much faster

As a new drummer (about 4 months), this is great. I'm taking lessons, and this lesson in control has eluded me. Thank you from a new subscriber!

For a relatively small channel, the production/editing of this video is insanely good. Great info. Subbed.

I've been playing drums all my life. Since I was 2.5 years old. ive had shoulder surgery carpal tunnel surgery. I've always played big drum kits on gigs . I didn't know that I would damage my shoulders and arms playing I played metal music,

The most concise well filmed and explained study on finger technique I've ever seen,, congratulations ,this really is outstanding . I have been practicing finger technique for about 12 months with limited results ,but I am sure this will make a huge difference . Finger technique really does require a lot of patience and dedicated practice , I'm glad you mentioned this ,as it can be very discouraging and frustrating to not realise how difficult it is to gain control . Thankyou very much 😂😂

Great video! Just a question. What do you think about moving your fulcrum to the middle finger rather than the index?... Thx so much

this is an awesome video with solid information. i have an additional tip if you struggle to activate your fingers outside of a french grip context: try the finger isolation exercises in this video with the fulcrum between the middle finger and the thumb. basically, try to gain control over the stick without using the index finger. i find that the angles and motions translate to a bunch of different settings where your grip is more lose/german

Very informative bro ...great job!!!

I really like this because when you balance brushes on the rims of the floor or the snare, it is quite easy to knock them off. And if your floor tom is 14 inch and the stick is 15" then the sticks can easily roll off the floor tom.

A GOOD NOTE...would be to see you incorporate this technique on the Hihats and Tom's to see it being used...Hihat and Ride would probably be played More with this technique..😊

Outstanding video, loads of useful information in this. Very clear. Thanks for your hard work in putting this together and good luck with your channel. Subscribed.

I've been learning for about 1 year now. I haven't started working on rudiments yet tho. Do you have a video on what to start on and a good way to progress in an order that makes sense? I've just been learning everything from TH-cam and I seem to jump around a lot rather than focusing on certain things.

It's my dream to drum as well as you one day 🙏 ❤

For me the worst issue is the angle, especially in American grip. I can barely do it 45 degrees, and that's with fulcrum on the middle finger (German grip in your video 30:00), slow, can get to 90 very slow. On index finger (American 30:30) getting to 45 degrees slow seems like an impossibility right now. I guess gotta stay on french grip, although not many uses on kit for me except ride.

Great vid bud, such a pro! 🤙

Thank you. Very informative.

Wow ! I needed to hear that bit on the end . ( Don't forget to have fun) Been too focused on technical lately. Thanks for the reminder - great video 👏👏👏👍🏼

Love to see it.. I was a great youth drummer who everyone said I had to keep at it csuse inwas a prodigy.. got in a motorcycle wreck right after hs..and my hi hat and double bass foot was wrecked.. now I play drums and guitar for jst fun cause I'll never be the new hotness. Took alot out of me to have talent literally ripped off my body

Can't believe it took me this long to find this video! Easily the best tutorial for finger technique I've ever seen! So helpful, even for a long time drummer with stubborn muscle memory! Thank you!

The stick moves around so much in my hand causing my grip to end up to high on the stick. But when I try a tighter grip I don’t get as much rebound as I’d like. Any tips how to keep the index finger and thumb firmly in the position you want on the stick?

Digital? what's that? This is old skool ×analog× "Noise Gate", "DeTuner" + "EQ" at its finest 👌 my drummer back in the day, would have squares of folded rag taped to the tom heads + snare (definitely stops any unwanted ringing), and would either have a small blanket bunched up in the kick drum or if nothing else available he'd just throw his jacket in there (ours too!) ... great tips my friend. Cheers 😎💓🥁

As soon as you said "this exercise is good for finger control..." at 11:35 mark, my left hand dropped the stick on my head LOL

I have 3 questions: How long did it take you to get to this level of finger technique efficiently? What about using bigger sticks for this exercise or maybe turn the stick and practice the blunt end? Left hand stick is creeping, will it go away with after awhile? Thank you for your video tutorial

The power of playing slow is real, I remember the first time my friend who plays the drums told me to play to a BPM of 30. Absolutely broke me hahah but has brought me a long way in terms of my quality. Not saying play at 30BPM, but practice and ace it slow and then progress. Thanks Ryan!

Do the fingers have to be in touch with the stick all the time?

Thanks 👍

Crazy vid , this the drum video we want 💪

The name "better drumming" now applies to me... Good stuff, thanks for this!

Love this! Great ideas here!

Great video! To the point, no excessive talking. Great job! You got a subscriber!

Hey man at the beginning of the video you are in German grip and then you teach the technique in French grip for the rest of the vid. Is there any change in technique between German and French?

I'm improving daily thanks to you, Ryan! 💪

What a great video! Among the household things I use in my drumset are kitchen towels over the toms to get that Ringo sound!

Love this! Great ideas man!

The homemade sizzle hack is AWESOME!!!

I have learned so much! I am a better drummer already, thank you, Better Drumming! Personally I like to put my Ryan on the drums, instantly gives a great sound. Also pillows apparently

Good stuff!

What is the top speed for single strokes with this technique!😊

Thank you so much for sharing this . I could use all the tips that I can get. From a begginner drummer in Dallas TX USA >(^.^)<

Hey man, i watched your finger technique video a year ago and got some time to get back into practicing drums now. I love your approach and im very happy to see you shifting towards more conceptual stuff aswell. What i wanted to know or what i have been wondering is, how to improve vocabulary and how to really get creative with it, as i find myself mainly using the same 5-10 stickeings whenever i approach a drum fill. Improvising whilst staying in the pocket is another big challenge for me. I know this might come late and ill definetely chekc out your videos. Just wanted to give you some ideas and wishes from an active audience member. :) Cheers for all your awesome content ! 💯

Nice video!

well that was excellent. cheers ;-)

Legit feedback

Jack Hadlow here haha this is super helpful for teaching my kids how to hold their sticks! Haha

sick little kit, great video dude

What's the most effective one for rock/metal?

Subi markets dream setup 😍

Love it! That tiny custom ride has such a sick tone!
