Man, thanks for this video. It really helped me with speed. I started using my middle finger instead of my index and has made a world of difference. Thanks..
Totally brilliant instruction Rob! You are now my go to guru 👍✊️😁
Lol I started doing the middle finger too after watching this video. I was a big pinky out index especially with buzz rolls dude and slowly fixing it and it’s different but is better technique
It seems counter-intuitive to me to not use your strongest (index) finger in your grip. Why did you stop using it as your fulcrum and how have you found making the adjustment? :)
@@RealBesty I used to think that too, but then I noticed cats like Colaiuta, Deitch, DiCense, etc having relatively looser grips with the forefinger, especially during double-strokes.
Yes I noticed the middle finger is faster too. Brilliant video Rob! Gonna watch your others now...
Finally, a doctor who's prescription I can actually read
😂 i see what you did there
I've been doing this exercise for a couple of weeks now, and the results are showing. Thanks Rob.
I use it with a metronome and building up gradually the snapping motion. Great exercise
Ok Rob, I've been having trouble with my doubles. Gonna try this thing. I'm going to comment in 4 weeks and report the results
2 weeks and counting
Larks' Tongues In Aspic what now
I worked on my doubles at least 10 minutes everyday. My drums instructor was also really encouraging me to practice them too. I used to play at 90, now I play at 120 without hiccups. They still don't sound even, but I'm trying to get there.
@@larkstonguesinaspic4814 bruh don't worry about the accents in the begging the grip used for buzz rolling is literally the same for double stroke but instead of pushing the stick into the drum to create a buzz have a lighter hold allowing a rebound you double the stroke
kaneki k cmon I wish I learned that, you actually made sense. I always forced doubles cause buzz rolls are forced since it require more than 3 bounces
Thanks Rob!!!! Been playing drums since I was 10, I'm now 45, and this is the first time I've actually understood how a double feels. Can't wait to see what happens with a month of shed time. I'll keep you posted. Your style of teaching resonates with me keep up the great work!
Man Rob, you’re great. My drum teacher I had 40 years ago should have had you for an instructor. I’ve watched about 10 of your videos and I’m really impressed. I’m not happy with some of TH-cam’s policies but man how guys like Rob are brought to the masses is fantastic. Intelligence, communication skill, musicianship, and a sense of humor (just watched a video where Rob had his timer for some ribs he was smoking ... awesome). Quite a unique, very likable talent. Thanks for doing what you are doing. My kit was collecting dust for 5 years... it’s not now.
I completely agree with everything you point out about what an outstanding and rare teacher Rob Brown is. Well said!!
i just started playing drums 2 days ago and i was watching like "exercises for beginners" and i just couldn't keep up, my doubles sucked, and i searched "how to get better at doubles" and your video popped up, immediately i got it, you explain and show it perfectly, this really boosted my confidence and motivated me to practice! i hope i make it into a band one day 😖💘💘💘
Hey Rob, I started on drums over 20 years ago & learnt by ear as best as i could.. never had a lesson or knew other drummers (lived in a remote area of Australia) .... I never knew what rudiments etc. even were - but always wanted to improve my playing. So your videos are amazing to me! I really enjoy your approach, style and have a sense of connection watching you. It inspired me to get a new kit & also use my electro kit for practice. I feel like I've improved even before I try your exercises! So thanks again, just wanted to show my appreciation. Look fwd to yr Next video! Thx mate.
That’s awesome, dude. Glad the videos have been helping you out. Shout out from Canada 🇨🇦👊🏽
Rob Brown wait, please tell me your from Toronto! Would love to take lessons!
Go bills!!!!!
Like you, I'm a self-taught (and Aussie) drummer who's played for a long time but never really practiced rudiments. Since all my gigs are cancelled I'm determined to use the Rona quarantine to finally practice some basic rudiments. I can feel, see and hear the difference after a week.
No longer Mr. Brown. You are a great teacher! You are a Dr. in my Book. You are Dr. Brown. Great exercise especially to train that weak wrist and hand along with placing your fingers. Thank You!
Thanks man 🙂🤘🏽
Great Scott! Doc brown haha
Best drum teacher in the world.. I'm teaching myself, every time I come to this site with a problem. Rob explains it best. Thanks man, really appreciated!
Amen brother! First minute is straight dope. Singles, doubles, single paradiddle are all you need for a career. Until you want to get some. I dig confidence.
If you want to get some, the triple will do it. Cheers!
I am a begginner almost reaching intermidiate level and it's thanks to you. So helpful. I take notes in my notebook of every detail. I feel like in an institute with you.
I watched you on Drumeo and the only thing I regret it"s that I did not know of your channel before.
Thank you and I do appreciate this
Best opening line for a video on TH-cam:
*ARE YOU HAVIN TROUBLE WITCHO DOUBLES??*
Rob, pound for pound, I think this is one of the best lessons the internet has to offer. I’ve always thought my doubles were really good, and I was just watching because, we’ll, it’s you, but I realized I was doing exactly what you said players do. Guilty as charged! Keep up the awesome work!
I love when he says "that's it"!!!
Like you got it!!
Great great teacher!!
I am a self taught drummer...I cant believe how much progress I made over the years without having the fundamentals. I am reinventing myself from the basics up. I started practicing fundamentals everyday as if I am a baby drummer and I am having so much fun. Thanks for the video man. I appreciate it. I also just discovered heal/toe...so fun man. I feel like I am 16 again. God bless you/yours.
My first video of yours but it won't be my last. I started dreaming when I was in my early twenties had to quit due to diabetic neuropathy took up guitar but now in my early forties 20 years later. I miss it more and more so I decided to go back to it . So these little tips are huge!!! I had just started learning rudiments so this is helpful and if you have any more thoughts or classes on rudiments or anything else would be greatly appreciated.
Back in the 60s we read magazines instead of looking at youtube videos and I can recall reading maybe in Downbeat Magazine a drummer comment on the lovely double stroke roll another drummer (that other drummer could have been Joe Morello because Brubeck's "Take Five" helped introduce Joe as a big shot drummer and Morello had a wonderful roll). He commented that he supposed the other drummer was accenting the second beat just a little more. As for me, I was having difficulty "crushing" the roll. I found playing in 3 helped me crush it. Then I went on to the crush roll in 2. I could have used your videos back in the 60s, but then, that was before you were born! Keep up the good work.
Rob brown....you have hit the nail on the head...always had trouble with double strokes.....thank you for the exercise...will let you know on my progress.....
Great lesson .. can I recommend Bass drum exercise for next video ? 😃
Thats how im learning, and trying to get my blast beats tighter, totally agree with this,.
Im a truck driver, so when stuck in traffic, or on a longer journey, theres enough room near my gear stick, to be able to practice , using this technique, with the left arm and a stick, on the side of the trucks dash, feels the same as a practice pad. just getting the bounce even as i can, and for me , as fast as i can has made such a difference.
Also, its a thing for the double kicks too, the second bounce on the kick when doing doubles/heel toe, also has to be the equal as the first, unless doing awesome things using the heel toe mixed with singles.,
Interesting approach with the first exercise...I've seen a similar approach where you accent the second stroke with each hand, but it was much more emphasized. Almost as if you are a robot if that makes sense. I appreciate your suggested way of doing it, seems more natural. There's a video clip of Jim Chapin talking about the moeller technique and how your grip changes when doing single strokes as you go faster. With your first example, I now see a similar thing now applied to double strokes. Good stuff and thanks for sharing!
You’re a great player and fun to watch. I’ve learn a ton from you.
Glad the videos are helping you out, man 🤘🏽🇨🇦
Mr. Joe, I hv been working on the double stroke for two years without any success. However, within a half an hour of watching your video it helped me make the double stroke strong and even. Thank you so much. Ps. Thank you Dr. I took my med. 🥁
Amazing channel.
Yet another advice that helps, this time it took less than a day to feel a difference in my playing.
Thank you, thank you so much, my man.
Rob, you are a terrific teacher. I wish I could meet with you in person once a week.
Rob is the man. Highly recommend his drum tuning vid. Changed my world.
Really good explanation of the double stroke. Thanks.
Best fucking teacher on TH-cam. U want to listen and learn, you're not talked at. Really Good teachers are rare no matter how much knowledge or ability they have. Rob has it all. Wish he'd been my teacher even tho i didn't ever have one . With Thomas pridgen to kick me into line for fast work on bass drum!
thanks, Doc; i'm returning to the drums at age 57 & doubles give me troubles. your explanation of what is happening mechanically at the wrist & elbow made a difference just within the time of watching the vid. i perceive i was "muscling" it too much. i practice both traditional & match grip & found your "handshake" analogy to yield "wow, already?!" results. my aspirations are to be a "groover" not a "shredder." i subscribed & look forward to your other lessons.
Break through moment! for me! Thank you so much for explaining this. All my life trying to get a rebound second bounce instead of emphasis on the second hit! I can't thank you enough for explaining this so I completely understood how to get out of this rut I've been stuck in for years! Bless you !!!
very pedagogic way to understand real drumming rudiments ..as simple as that ...then after that i'll try your excellent schuffle lessons i saw days ago thanx for your work ...hats off ...:-)
Just started learning drums , was confused and stuck while trying to learn double stroke. Thanks for what you shared , I am able to do double stroke now. Really a big thanks!
been playing since 89 but this is the best instruction video I've seen. Great job from South Africa
Thanks man, beginner drummer here and your straight forward approach really helped.
Doctor of drumming ...
Real cool man ...i needed that
You can do the same thing with tripple stroke rolls, if you set your metronome to 3/4 with the accent on the third beat, you throw, bounce with fingers to support the stroke and then catch at the end of the rebound. Been using it a lot and seen real improvement with it. Love your videos.
Great !!
I want to see the video of double and triple Para-diddle, which are essential for drum strokes.
.
Great Video My Brother. Control Each Bounce Speed Will Develope. The Beauty Of Playing Any Rudiment, Or A Drum Pattern Is To Play It Slow So You Can Feel It. Once Again Great Video.
Excellent video, man. Excellent. Crystal clear, laid back, easy to absorb/comprehend information. Love how you lay this down, in words and examples. Thanks for helping us all execute this double stroke clean up.
Wow! Thanks so much. This was the first video that actually helped me get doubles down. I'm ecstatic right now.
Thank you for posting this great video.
I've been playing drums, for 30 years and learned so much from this.
Stay safe. I'm isolating in may 20/20.
Getting back to basics:)
Late to the party but man your tip on using middle finger and the last two fingers pinky included is incredible. Much more control and speed that way.
Thank you for this very instructional video.
Brand new drummer just found u and I find your instruction very intuitive and easy to learn from from
I've found that in order to even them out I practice them individually for sixteen or 32 beats and then drop the count between each hand until you reach the back and forth.
Example, Right hand sixteen times, left hand sixteen times.
Right hand eight times, left hand eight times.
Right hand four times, left hand four times, etc.
I've been learning from you for a few years now. Great technique. Really appreciated! Thanks.
You make a good cuppa tea mate... H'heh.. I don't really know or care how long I've been playing drums.. but through that time, the last thing I would ever have described myself as is serious... Really enjoying your presentations as they have encouraged me to re focus and redirect my attention to things I've always done and taken for granted.. Thanks again.
Thank you Mr. Brown.
I like the emphasis on the fulcrum! I see so many drummers who don't know how important that is.
This was absolutely awesome. This is the missing piece I haven’t been able to figure out for a very long time. Looking forward to practice, thanks Rob!!
This video changed everything for me, thank you sooo much!!
This is like sitting in a good music class and so unpretentious with no affectation. Thanks!
Thanks my brother! Love your teaching style! God bless!!!
Thanks, I realized I had a weaker left hand that fit the double stroke symptoms outlined, Now I'm working on the exercise and think its improving my guitar playing too !
you have no idea how much this helped me. Im amazed at how much I got better. (Not saying im good but i got better.) Your tutorials help a lot
Dude, I love your videos. I love how it actually feels like a personal lesson. Out of all the channels I watch I get the most out of your channel 👍🏻👍🏻
Awesome. TY, this is working out muscles that werent worked out before. Seem so simple but so effective
With absolute and total respect Rob, when I slow down your video your stick is pivoting under your thumb and your middle finger is still moving quite a bit.
Thank you! Many maaannny years of self learned with some bad habits I'm sure.. none the less, watching your video a couple times while practicing along, I've naturally got the proper double stroke technique down. Idk I cant explain, but whatever you said or did flipped a switch in my head and now I'm like.. "ohhh, That's howww" .
So, kudos to you. Thanks
Thank you for this - I like your teaching style and the way you clearly explain the mechanics.
So... for the last week i've worked on middle finger fulcrum, tucking in pinky finger and practiced this for 30 mins each. Day 5 and my doubles, para's etc all FEEL so much better. Mind blown! Thanks Man.
Michael, the secret to unscrewing your doubles lies in the WRIST, not the fingers. At tempo, you don't snap your fingers at all, so why is this exercise at a slow tempo going to help at a fast tempo? It does not. Rob actually does not snap his fingers at all at 7:55. The snapping exercise is only really good for practicing a shuffle beat. At tempo, your wrist breaks a little more, and you work with the rebound. The idea is to use as little effort as possible and make the stick do the work. Your pinky finger has very very little to do with playing, but if you poke it out, it causes tension. It really doesn't do much at all. The secret to a great roll is PLAYING THROUGH THE DRUM, not "to" the drum. Act as if the drum head is 3" lower than what it is, play through the drum and be loose. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS AT SPEED. There is NO snapping of the fingers at speed with an open roll.
Thanking you Doctor B. Top stuff!
Awesome! Been waiting for this!
Thanks man! It really helped me.
Just wanted to pop in and say this exercise totally works. I thought I could doubles until my drum teacher laughed at my pathetic attempt at it. I spent two weeks doing this exercise for 30min a day and it completely fixed my horrible double stroke roll. Thanks, Rob!
Easily the best drum teacher on the internet. My new hero.
Greetings Mr. Brown..... Just want you to know I like your style of teaching/instructing...... Keep doing what you're doing .... It's truly helping me and I'm sure many others to... Peace.. T J
