- Being able to play a single stroke roll is important, but nowhere near as important as being able to smoothly transition from a groove into quick, flawless singles. This exercise "Practical Singles" will help you do exactly that!

Another great lesson with a very useful exercise. The real bonus is Juno, but sometime she needs her own video. She's adorable !!!
I agree 100% Juneau's channel will launch in 2021, lol
I read your comment as I was starting to watch the program.After reading about 'Juno' I was expecting some tasty bird walking on,before seeing that Juno is a dog lol ! Nice dog though,I wonder if he named it after the beach which our Canadian brothers landed on next us on D-day.
@@mikeslessons Hi Mike which metronome app do you use?
Let’s start calling these “Blessons” because that’s what they really are Blessings. Happy Sunday Everyone!
Yep. Even if it'a not Sundays, Mike's lessons are really 'Blessons' 👌
Amen!
Mike mocked his own tattoo. Respect, Mike. That's character.
Just loved the way you explain everything with that humble attitude... So that it makes it look quite attainable. Loved it.
Respect was somehow raised even higher after the quip about his own tattoo
7:52 I hit that wall all the time, and it kills me. Thank you for informative and genuinely entertaining practice sessions :)
“yeeaahhhhhh 😃”
has this exercise been helping you a lot? I have been hitting this wall and its frustrating me a lot :(
@@BlackLotusC108 to be honest, I totally forgot about this video, so haven't really implemented the lessons yet. But thank you for putting it back on my radar! Now that I have lots of free time, I can sit and practice :)
Perfect. I was just sitting here thinking I should be less lazy this Saturday afternoon. Mike shows up to spur me to action. It’s a dog-day afternoon. I love my Reflexx pad, which I bought months ago after seeing you play it, but it’s already gathering too much dust. Time to go clean up my pad and my playing. Thanks, Mike!
Excellent single stroke speed building exercise Mike. I love simple and effective. I have a student who has really been complaining about his left hand being dysfunctional. Tuesday I will introduce him to this lesson. Thank you for sharing.
This guy makes me practice...Mike your channel is one of the best things on TH-cam. Thank you for making all of us better!
A great lesson as usual. Importantly, this exercise exposes defects in holding the sticks as one switches gradually from wrist to necessary finger action to achieve speed. In my view this should have been one of my first exercises as I started to learn the drums. Never stop teaching, you are an inspiration. Regards, Peter (U.K.)
Michael, you ALWAYS make me wanna practice (EVEN WHEN I DO’NT WANT TO)! Fantastic as always man!!!!
Mike was one of the first drumming TH-camrs I found but some of his teachings and licks have taught me so much and will stick with me till I die!!!
Thank you for all the drum lessons! They really help me a lot ❤️
I just started learning and love this exercise! Thank you!
Really like mirroring this exercise with the feet! I've been working on double kick since quarantine started and this is really helpful for left foot-lead singles
That Part with the Dog is Just the best Stuff ever. This is a Like before I even got to the practice Part. 10/10.
Literally me everytime-
"By now you have switched your right hand to lead singles in your mind and you don't know it yet"
I get it now. Thanks alot Mike. Im a big fans of yours right now! I love your sounds.
That was great! Thoroughly enjoyed your tutorial! Thankyou!
This is the best excersis on TH-cam!
This is the first video I’ve seen by you, and you answered every single thought as they came up. I wasn’t breathing, I was beating my pad, leading with the left - gosh. Subbbbbbed
Hey Mike, This was an awesome exercise. As a jazz drummer, I expanded it to eighth & sixteenth note triplets with brushes. Love it!
Thanks for the excellent lesson!! 👏👏
Love your lessons, so good
Thanks Mike for being such a dynamic Educator, even when u dont see us I'm pretty sure some people agree, nod, or even say heck yeah to your lessons 👌🥁
Best lessons on TH-cam. Love your work. Also your dog.
Thank you
Every time and watch you I learned something new
Luv it! Thanks Mike. Happy drumming 😃
Great excercise, Mike! Cheers 😘🔥
Dude... like wow!!! I mean, just wow!! Like wow!! What a Friggin breakthrough experience this little lesson has done for me. I feel like I just took DMT ... my singles are so much more controlled and speeding up every SINGLE day!!! Thank youuuuuu 🙏🏼
I just found this channel. I've been playing guitar all my life, but this past Saturday I bought my first drum set.. it's a "KAT" electronic set and I love it. Thanks for sharing and taking the time to make these videos to help others who want to learn. You rock bro. I subbed.
Thanks mike😍awesome lesson.
awesome! thank you! i can't wait to start using this. i'm starting drum lessons soon
Went from beginner to SUPER BEGINNER. Couldn’t keep up at the end, but one day I will 😈
Great video BTW😉
"you would deafen your neighbouring city" 😂😂😂😂😂
hahaha gold
Totally awesome exercise.
Such exercises are amazing .... Always switching between right and left hand ... You are absolutely right, Mike!!!! Stay healthy!!!! Greetings from germany Christoph 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Was looking for a good single stroke video and the best one popped up when I needed it most lmaoo. Thanks!!!
Great video!
Great advice, thanks for sharing. Enjoyed seeing Juno too!!!
Great lesson will be using this for improving my single stoke rolls. Thanks Mike. God Bless.
Nice exercise, will for sure include this is my routine, thanks
Thanks for this bro!
Thank you!
Amazing content! Very helpful and entertaining to watch
Wow what a legend he is,I love that exercise time for me to practice this and speed it up later thank u so much blessing!!!
Thanks Mike. I love this exercise. I have struggled for years and years. Embarrassingly decades , with my weak left hand. I finally couldn't take the weakness and started playing when I can, left handed. Switching up etc. But it's met with a ton of mistakes and it's not really helping me get better very quick. 2 nights doing this for 30 minutes and I feel like my arm is starting to get it. Very seldom do I find a routine that works wonders , this is one. Thanks. Oh, yeah, I'm that rock drummer beating my practice pad like it owes me money lol. 15 minutes of that, 15 dynamically .
LOVED this. Subscribed! 😍 Thanks! 🙌
Loved the intro about the practice pads
Excellent!!
Love it, thanks Mike!
So simple, but so NOT EASY when you swap to those left hand lead singles at 200bpm, LOL
Thanks for sharing us such a very helpful exercise
This lesson made me subscribe!
So thanks 🙏🏼
You’re a lot of fun to watch and I love your dog’s cameo.
Why does this feel like a therapy? I'm gonna buy a practice pad now :D such an inspiration. Thanks!
This is truly cool!
What an awesome intro, love the talk abt pads
The best
I love U Mike
You should show us how you play blast beats, you have a great technique
respect!
The fact that you owned it (tattoo), makes it cooler than the rest. Thank you for the great info, and Im followin now!
I gave my old Vater double side pad to my student. Mike thank you for the spicy dip brother. Lenny sent me the amazing NE1’s you signed for me.
Perfect video.
…;love the lesson…I get all excited about different pads. Love the loose bounce with back fingers. Oh that Blue sparkle Gretsch!
Great hack for building speed, THANKS!
need mor buttercups just love mike always brings some fun, when stuck while drumming
Love this vid 😊
was compelled to hit the like button right after junno showed up. great tutorial. thank you
It's really helpful 🥰
Been doing this exercise for about 2 years now and my god what a game changer thank you so much!! Still working on my left with that being said lol probably won't ever be perfect but that's ok 😂
You’re the man!!!!!!!!
Top video. After weeks of practicing chop builder, paradiddle diddle etc, it'll soon be time to pay for another months subscription.
Thank you 😊
“The best practice pad, is the one that makes you practice”
Fucking safe advice. Just my speed. Simple, productive, straight ahead, no bullshit advice/lesson.
Thanks, a ton, man🤘🏼
Super exercice pour équilibrer la frappe des deux mains , et quelle magnifique batterie Gretsch !
I love, love, love this one! I call it "changing gears". I transcribed it for whatever reason (I think I can memba it). I do my feet with it at the same time. Usually with the Stick Control book. I also really like the one with the different rudiments, bass drum in between, left foot hi hat pulse. Ya can never perfect them, right? Ur the best bro!
I just bought the Thomas Lang Practice Pad just to try something new after practicing on the Real Feel Pad over years. I also bought a pair of Military Sticks to strengthen my muscles. These two things pushed my motivation to practice into another dimension! It‘s so much fun and so effective at the same time. Great combination which works for me perfectly!
yo....sir, you have toooo much talent and charisma for one guy....thank you for sharing it.
LOL! It's all in the Matcha 🍵🍵🍵 Seriously though, Thank You
Another great exercise Mike thank you! this is just what I needed.
really need to work on this left side, I can get the right up to 200 but the left is not quite there yet I will push on tho looking forward to listening to the pod cast at some point this week as well eddys put it up in the discord group but with work not had a chance yet! Hope your well
Just what I needed!
Awesome to hear my friend. Really listen for absolute clarity on this one!
With this one video I’ve learned more about counting/timing and playing with a metronome, than the two years I spent in a middle school band class
Inspired!
I love your dog !! So funny. That’ is the bonus of your lessons lol love all your lessons.
Juno wants to practice singles! 😄 Great advices thanks.
Watched the video yesterday Mike. I started at 100bpm and went up in increments of 5 until I reached my top speed at which I could sustain it for 1 min. For me, my top speed was 165, for I could not sustain 170 for a minute. So, today I started at 160 and practiced the exercise for 5 min. I will continue for 30 days, bumping up my speed by one or two points at a time until I am up to the target of 200bpm. Thank you Mike as I am looking forward to seeing how much improvement I can see over the next 30 days. I will repost my progress then. :-)
Cora, that's so amazing to hear! Can't wait to see where you're at with it in 30 days!
".... really own it before your start making any noise" - the very best part! Great! Thanks!
Bro you're the best
Much appreciated Youssef! Have a great day my friend
The dog and that “yeaahh” after messing up to act like nothing happened had me laughing. Thanks man
Top Mike 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The best drum instructor ever..
Great episode... thx
Two things I find about this exercise that really works for me. 1) I can just 'do it' ... not unlike just playing paradiddles or paradiddle-diddles just getting a good flow going. 2) When I play it on my practice kit which has Aquarian Super Pads and I add a BD on the 1 of each measure it really helps me work on my hand / foot coordination. Thanks again.
Awesome Mike. I’m going to try this out and post it on the insta.
PS I love. love. love. your doggo.
Love seeing Junno in the mix! Oh, and great exercise Mike. :)
I've just brought a practice pad purely on your video. No idea where to start but I guess this is a good place? Great video 👍
awesome video ... hi Juno !!!
You are my inspiration....!💯❤️
Would love to see you one day 🥺
Love from india
~Anirudh(amateur drummer)
I'm on it!!!!
Thank u sir
….gosh what a perfect symmetrical relaxed finger and bounce technique! I do continuous singles slow….then build only to a speed I can do still relaxed and keep that goin’ ….yes not easy…..start slow to master it……excellent video…
5:28 ''don't forget to breath''
i unironically was holding my breath, so thanks for reminding me xD
Omg, today seemed like another bored pandemic saturday, but this really help me to jump to that drum pad.... Thanks
That's so awesome to hear!
@@mikeslessons what is your metronome/click app? I love the big numbers and the clear sound. Be great to download the same app, thanks.
I've been playing for over fifty years and found this useful. Thanks!
