Steve thank you for this. Some serious serious gems in here, nothing charges up my drum journey more than insights like these. Been working on my off hand grip and the “hit your arm” tip alone is a eureka moment. Thank you sir
Man, coming back to this video a few days later, I gotta say the Stone Method (5:57) is something! Never heard of it, but trying it has instantly switched some neurons in my brain. It's like I suddenly can *actually* differentiate between the different muscle groups around the wrist. I thought I could do that somewhat well before, but it's a difference like night & day, turned the consistency of my doubles up a few notches. Like within a day. Crazy. I think every single drummer should implement this, this should be basic knowledge for beginners. So yeah, thank you quite much for introducing me to this concept!
Wow, the most technical anaysis of fundamentals Ive been exsposed to for the longest time. This is very indept, and most certainly worth learning from. Wealth of information in just one video. I recommend younger students of drum rewatch this video more than once until they grasp the true scale of the lessons relevance and impact on ones playing and technique
I find this fascinating. The more someone gets analytical with this sticking business the more i am fascinated. I don't understand what's the purpose of playing the dynamic strokes without expressing the dynamic differences they were designed to produce?
Super interesting stuff, I like the way you think about technique! Gonna take your ideas to the rehearsal room tomorrow. I was also wondering if there might be a way to translate the "upside down" concept from the beginning to the pedals. No idea so far. 🤷
Sort of the opposite but James W Payne does something similar by training the feet with springless pedals. VV difficult as you are now made responsible for accepting this delicate rebound without the help of the spring.
@baruchaloids2323 ooh, yeees, James is one of my absolute favorites! I need to try that, don't have an adequate pad yet. Thanks for the reminder, good association there!
@@baruchaloids2323 I tried this and I think it's very promising for me personally, already getting better. At first I thought it was impossible, but actually, you don't even need that bouncy a surface to practice it. It's trickling down to regular pedals already, but just a bit, I'll be patient.
Very cool concepts. Love the idea of upstrokes starting at different points. Btw, hate to be that guy, he said "ratamacue" but meant "flamacue". Just to quell any confusion. If I had a dollar for every time I thought something and said something else...happens to the best of us. Great video.

The best instruction on Mechanics as for me.Thank you for sharing
never tried that pinky finger grip... cant play 4 bars... gotta train that. thanks so much!

It shows the vulnerabilities up close
@stevelymandrums aha, I think I get that. Thanks.
Good stuff!
I quit when layed on the floor

Great video.
