Great job , I love the evenness of your stick height.
I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!
When I practiced playing along to my favorite songs I'd just do all fills with doubles and add doubles even on straight grooves. Make it fun but stay dedicated to the routine. I also would spend 15 minutes every session just working my hands around the drums and cymbals with rudiments. My tendency was to get so fixated on my feet and foot hand combos that I forgot how effective the hands are. I could pull off alot of fills that didn't require that facility of rudimental drumming but missed out on what the great hero's of mine were doing because they were so proficient with rudiments and applied them creatively. Practice smarter not harder but have fun always.
Agreed! I think a healthy balance of both hand centered fills and incorporating the foot leads to really creative vocabulary. Thanks for watching!
As soon as I saw the first 10 seconds I was like 'I'd better listen to this advice!'
Thank you for the kind words and checking out my channel!
@@austinhass2638no problem! Been playing for many years and never took the time with the essentials as it didn't hold me back in terms of band playing. Always had a sloppy left and it now bothers me!
@@christschinwon it’s never too late to brush up on some technique! Let me know if there’s anything else you’d like to see videos on!
This is so helpful. Thank you for posting this!
Thank you for watching!
Austin brother. Do you have a video specific for how to hold drum sticks? I find myself holding them tight otherwise I end up dropping the sticks because I hit each other... Mind you I only play electric sample percussion, like the Roland Spdsx which has small pads. Thanks
Hey, I don’t have a video for that but maybe I can make one! You should not be gripping the sticks too tight. If your sticks are hitting each other I recommend practicing some exercises on a practice pad making sure you keep a “V” shape with the sticks. Hope this helps!
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Good lesson man
Thanks for watching!
Hi Austin, what bpm would you say is the go - between wrist motion to elbow pump? cheers Al
Thanks for the comment Al! I find it coming into my playing at around the 120BPM mark though this might vary. I would suggest playing double strokes slow to fast to find that point where you transition to that slight arm pump.
Hey man, love your videos!
Don't suppose you could do a video on playing the Latin groove in Nutville?
Thanks for checking out my videos! Is there a specific Nutville recording you're referring to?
@@austinhass2638 I watched a video of you playing with a University big band. The groove you played was great.
@@StraightNoChaser86 Oh yes I know what you're referring to! I was playing a 2-3 son clave mambo on that recording. I'd be happy to break it down at some point in the future!
Very good explanation. I'm currently working on my speed, but was wondering if a particular size is better to use in the early stages. I have mostly 5A. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! I think practicing with whatever stick you are comfortable with makes total sense.
The Tyranny of Rebound. This is what I tell myself after years of not developing, strengthening and gaining flexibility in my wrists. Why, because I thought rebound was the way. It's not. It fools one into thinking one has chops and mis-directs the drummer into a dead end. Now that I written this I do believe doubles-rebound is necessary for a well rounded vocabulary but it's a side dish. Tony Williams was right in the 1983 Zildjian day drum clinic and I didn't Believe It until I spent months working on my wrists and finally making some progress.
