Your the first ever drummer who has shown me what your actually doing with your fingers, I always though it was all in the wrist, many many thanks for that.
@@D0peSince85 haha yesssss that's awesome! I am so happy it was helpful. When i learned this technique the same thing happened for me. A light bulb went on and I was like OHHHH I GET IT. Cheers. God Bless
Ray, you are very welcome. I am happy it was helpful. the transition from wrist to fingers is the tricky part. I plan to make a 2nd video going deeper into this technique soon. Cheers. God Bless.
Been playing over 45 years from High School, Drum Corps and live studio session, concerts and Church drummer, this is the best teaching in under 10 minutes I've ever seen. Blessings to you!
I swear the drum teachers i had when I was a teen never taught me this and for decades i never knew how to get past the fast wrist action to letting my fingers take over. Thank you!
Hey!!! I'm happy this helped and I totally understand not being taught this technique. I was lucky to study with Myles Overton III from the Army Band. He taught me this technique and it was reinforced in drumline.
My first teacher trying to teach single stroke rolls would say, and would just keep repeating it "Faster. Faster. Faster." I didn't take another lesson with him. Thank you for creating this lesson. It is the best one I have seen on this topic.
@@rogerjones6033 You are very welcome. This is not a very common technique, but I learned it while I was in Marching Band in High School and it was reinforced by my drum instructor Myles Overton III from the US Army military band.
I have been seeing other more famous instructors play that way, and you are the first to show the best way for someone to train your muscle memory. TYTY and bless you in all your future drum endeavors.
As a 70 year old kettle drummer in a marching band in Australia, I like your hand exercises, I will be trying these out for sure to limber up my hands and fingers. Thank you very much. You are bright gem amongst the sand grains.
This is the best finger grip explanation I've ever seen! 2 minutes and I already feel more in control of the sticks! Can't wait to give it a week. Your drumming feels and sounds so great, and you are beautiful in every way thanks!
I feel so lucky to have come across this lesson for FREE! Thank you, Akhamie. You covered everything I was looking for and explained it so clearly. Lots of practice ahead of me. Subscribed! Thanks again
I just started learning drums, I’ve watched tons of videos for beginners and this is what I’ve been looking for! Thank you sooooo much for creating the most educational and helpful video for us!!!
I resumed playing drums during the lockdown after a 38-year hiatus, and my wrists just aren't as supple as they were in my 20s when I stopped. I am always looking for hacks to minimize reliance on my wrists. This is a wonderful alternative. Thanks so much for posting it.
I am glad to finally see someone teach snare in overhand grip. That what we used in the 80's when I was playing. I have never been able to convert to traditional.
Been drumming since 1993. Watched Dennis Chambers did something like this in 96 and didn’t get it until I watched this video. Thank you so much. Liked and subscribed ❤
Excellent video! I just did this starting exactly 1 week ago. First few days I did for 2-3 hours each night. Just walked around the house with sticks and every possible moment kept it going. Some observations 1) This really points out how weak your weak hand is. I discovered my left hand coordination was far inferior to my right and I'm certain this has hurt my single stroke rolls over the years 2) This also points out that there is subtle movement and pressure required in the thumb and forefinger to bring the stick back. Without relying on the rebound of the drum, the stick can just stay in close to the palm of your hand instead of returning to position. This was particularly prevalent in my weak hand, where as my dominant just did this naturally 3) Returning to the practice pad and implementing it with the same technique is challenging, even if you get good at it without the practice pad. But I plan to persevere as this is obviously crucial 4) After the 1 week mark, my weak hand is light years better than when I first started So I can't do it yet, but the progress I've made in 1 week is huge and I definitely plan to continue. Keep up the excellent vids! Want more :) If you ever take requests, I would love a followup to this video that shows how to take this to the next level and apply it to fast 32 note double stroke rolls (not buzz rolls, but rather full strikes). Thanks again!
Watched a lot of vids on YT since I started just a year ago, but this is the first time I have seen that exercise with the stick inverted. It's brilliant.
This is why technique... knowing the mechanics of how a thing is done, is so important. I imagine how many drummers quit the practice thinking that they just didn't have the "talent" or the "magic touch" when all it was, was mechanics... being taught the proper technique. Thank you for dropping this knowledge!
I LOVE YOU!!!!!! This has helped me so much! I will watch this over and over again to assist my practice. I wish I had your long slender fingers; your hands are absolutely beautiful. God sent you to do this!! and I thank you.
This is awesome! I have been trying to find a tutorial for this for YEARS! You're the best. I love that you repeated the exercise at different speeds and with different view/angles so I could actually see your grip. I have had multiple teachers who could play a fast single stroke like this, but couldn't describe the technique. Now I'm getting it. So excited! THANK YOU!
Whoa, thank you! As soon as I started I could feel that THIS is the muscle movement that is so smooth on my dominant hand and chunkier with my weak hand. Gonna employ this practice immediately. EXCITED!
Playing for 50 years, broke my left wrist last February slipping on ice. Though healed, I am 8 months later still reworking the fingers all over again. This is a great tutorial by a very thoughtful drummer and I am glad she put this up. I need all the help I can get.
That was a great finger technique lesson. Your wrists remain motionless while your fingers do all the work. The control you have achieved is remarkable. Thank you very much for the demonstration.
I'm playing the drums for 3 months right now and found your video because i wanted to learn how to single stroke like a badass. It works!!! Now i can play like a badass! Thank you very much
You've made my "A" list for instruction in technique and clarity with simple breakdowns of finger technique in this video. I've been playing for decades and have not graduated any where near your level in technique and creatitivity, thanks for freely sharing these simple things that make such a difference.
She did a great job didn't she. Taking her own good time and making a contribution to to all those that may be unaware. And still we get negative comments from people that got up on the wrong side of the bed. Lol
Thanks so much Stephen. I appreciate the kind words and I’m happy this was a very help lesson on technique. I learned this technique from my drum instructor. Myles Overton III from the Army Band. It took my drumming to a whole new level after I sat and really worked on it. 💯❤️🥁
Interweaving some modeler strokes for accents with the opposite hand during those blast beats takes it over the top. Great video Akhamie. New subscriber!
I'm a math teacher, which means I tend to recognize when details matter and how to convey information that often goes ignored or unrecognized. Imho, this is EXCELLENT, PATIENT, DETAIL ORIENTED AND NEVER BORING INFORMATION!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
@@camiloops.official Today I was practicing without anything in my hands, while running stairs. Just moving those three fingers on each hand, triplets on each hand per foot, left hand on rt foot, right hand on left foot of course. i have everything to work on. when I was three I fell off the top of a slide, playing alone in my central northern Columbus backyard, broke my left arm and almost lost it, hospitalized 3 weeks, special porcedure saved my left arm and I was already rt handed. I still feel the difference in my two arms. didn't bother me in sports, like playing 3rd base, strong rt arm. but with percussion... so your suggestion is MAJOR for me. I need to get to the root of it, and I really feel the weakness in my left arm all the way up into those lesser used left 3 fingers. THANKS AGAIN!
Jojo Mayer once told me that he practices technique & rudiments while watching some Star Trek series. This ~30 years ago, but before one here ends asking what she/he should watch while practicing, Star Trek seems to be one of the rare keys...
@@camiloops.official is there any advice if i was start learning drums... I am familiar with some beats so are my hands... I practiced for while... But still beginner... So any recommendations where to start... What type of stick... How to build a routine ... Anything... I believe every advice will help... Thanks in advance God bless you and your family
@@stephanihab my advice when you start learning drums is practice coordination and drum rudiments. When playing drum set each limb is doing something different. The hardest part is seeing how and when they line up. You build a routine by picking up your drum sticks every day. I really stress drum rudiments though. That is the foundation of a solid drummer. I hope this information helps.
I've been looking for a drummer who explains how to execute this technique for a long time. You managed to teach me what I've been trying to study, and I couldn't quite get it right because I didn't understand how to execute the movements. Congratulations on your high technical ability and for being able to clarify and teach in such a simple, direct, and cool way. God bless you!!!
I learnt that when I was 14 and your right, you need to learn this if you want to progress. Also, I usually hate most people who post anything, but I like you, you're very likable. 🐝💤
That's an really awesome explanation of the finger control technique, wonderful expained as well as perfect exercises for oneself. Thank you so much...!!!
@@FoolTheViking avoid the big fill when not on the throne to watch out for ur funny bone tho. I hit mine so bad twice within a few weeks of eachother that i wore elbow pads for a few months cause i was so paranoid. It always happened at the end of the roll with the final cymbal crash, so of course it was hilarious to everyone else. Couldnt feel my fingers for weeks. U know why they call it a funny bone? Cause its name is humorous.
Truly MAGICAL & HYPNOTIC!! I'm saving this video & passing it on to my 13 yo son (he's 2½yrs into Percussion in Middle School Band class. I really don't think they focus on technique. If so, then he'd be playing his electric set at home. He can play by ear, so that's fantastic.
My problem is that I can play fast uncontrolled singles. They start even but fall apart after 4-6 strokes. Will give this a try and see if I improve further.
Thought it was important to maintain a gap between your thumb and the side of your index finger, enough room to be able to slide a drum stick into that space, am I wrong?
Yes flams are good too but if this is not what you want to do it's irritating...So maybe start slowly, really slowly if necessary, and (slowly again)increase the speed, don't rush. You can do it! You will do it!! Repetition fixes everything. :-)
@@farshimelt YES obviously, this why I told him to start slowly, to avoid flams, R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L RLRLRLRLRLR....slowly....capiche?
Hi! Watching from Japan! I have played my drums and stop playing for almost 20years. And started to miss playing drums. So this lesson really help me catch up what I have missed. Thank you!❤
Nice Work! I'm Gio . I'm one of the original instructors from the Long Island Drum Center. I was trained by Jerry Ricci and Dom Famularo. Let me tell you, you are Good. !Keep on Rockin MotivationMusication
I saw this video a year ago and couldn't stop thinking about how relaxed you are when playing the finger technique. I gotta get this! Thanks for posting! I will let you know how it goes!
Finally, someone who has actually explained what’s happening in the technique. Thank you so much for this video. I will definitely do this everyday while doing other stuff!
Bingo! Spot on. So many demonstrating stick control miss the opportunity to speak to this very technique, of using the fingers and focus practice to this. As you said. It will happen just stick with it. Thank you.
This video is gold. I watched so many videos on how to use my fingers instead of my wrists. And for some reason this really explanation really clicked. Thank you 🙏
LOLOLOL That practicing the rebound on the backs of your arms is a game changer!! How have i never seen anyone do this lolol! It feels so natural. I mainly play matched but a very small percentage of the time i play traditional so that practice technique will really help. Great lesson! Thanks!
I’m sorry, but I had to thank you one more time! I video taped myself playing, about three hours after practicing this, and I am NASTY now! I may have even shed a tear. Thank you, and I owe ya’ one... BIG TIME!
Thank you for being probably the only one explaining the transition between using wrists and then fingers! Every other video I see they kindda explain what to do with the fingers, but then show slow singles using wrist and with no explanation of how one turns into the other. Truly, thank you!
Superb video instruction! Other drummers who create instructional videos should take note that you continually are demonstrating technique while you explain verbally. Young lady, you get an A+!!!!
There are a number of techniques, this is only one of them. I've NEVER heard any instructor of this technique say, "You do this throughout the day during your spare time." I'm excited to apply your instructors. I will give it all the time it takes. I want to apply this to any sustained 16th notes on the HiHat, fast bossa nova, and of course, "What'd I Say", by Ray Charles(cymbal bell bounce) Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for showing me your technique. You actually show exactly whats going on. I love the tip you threw in there as well about practicing on your fore arms. Im forever grateful ❤
I have sought out so many videos on stroke techniques, and you seem to be the first person with a real inclination to teach, explain, and demonstrate as opposed to just reciting information.
thanks i'm a 64 year old man and just started to watch drum videos and i learned a lot of things from your video that i never knew before. i do not own any drums yet just got sticks and messing around to see if i would like drums or not just useing the sticks and practice pad.
Thank you 😊 finally I can see 👀 what the whole movement is with the fingers engaged. Awesome explanation of how to work your fingers for better control too! 🦄🙃
Ah ! One of my favorite phrases ! Your brain Knows what you want to do ! It just takes discipline . Thanks ! I will do this every day . I want to be like you .
I'm from an Asian country. Drumming is just starting in my country. I always wondered why they can play so fast. Someone told me that you have to use your wrist at 180bpm and then start using your fingers after 200bpm. I am learning the skills of your video, thank you
Camelia, Thank you for posting this finger technique! It has helped accelerate my relearning drums from 45 years not playing, and now I'm enthusiastic like I was at 10 about playing drums again! You are a gem! Randy
heh, I discovered that reverse stick thing when I was 18, 45 years ago. Really helped me to learn to downstroke (clue to where I marched). Used that idea with the kids I taught for years.
I’ve been playing for 40 years and this is the best basic lesson I’ve ever seen
Thanks so much. I am happy you enjoyed it.
Me too ... This is proper teaching
20 yrs - same comment. Best basic lesson EVER. BTW -- which VF Stick is that?

@@farshimelt YES obviously, this why I told him to start slowly, to avoid flams, R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L R L RLRLRLRLRLR....slowly....capiche?
Hi! Watching from Japan! I have played my drums and stop playing for almost 20years. And started to miss playing drums. So this lesson really help me catch up what I have missed.
Thank you!❤
That backwards stick thing is friggin genius. So simple, so great. I drummed m6 damn kneecap off while I could have been doing this. Brilliant.
Thank you, the techniques are getting clearer and clearer now. When I try them, I will certainly get back to you.
At 6 minutes I lost it! Jaw on the freaking ground! What a great technique to strengthen individual fingers!
Nice Work! I'm Gio . I'm one of the original instructors from the Long Island Drum Center. I was trained by Jerry Ricci and Dom Famularo. Let me tell you, you are Good. !Keep on Rockin MotivationMusication
I’m with everyone else here. This is an incredible method and learning technique.
Ty😊
I saw this video a year ago and couldn't stop thinking about how relaxed you are when playing the finger technique. I gotta get this! Thanks for posting! I will let you know how it goes!
Finally, someone who has actually explained what’s happening in the technique. Thank you so much for this video. I will definitely do this everyday while doing other stuff!
Bingo! Spot on. So many demonstrating stick control miss the opportunity to speak to this very technique, of using the fingers and focus practice to this. As you said. It will happen just stick with it. Thank you.
This video is gold. I watched so many videos on how to use my fingers instead of my wrists. And for some reason this really explanation really clicked. Thank you 🙏
You're very good.... Totally following you from the Kingdom of Eswatini, Southern Africa.
You deserve over million followers!!!
LOLOLOL That practicing the rebound on the backs of your arms is a game changer!! How have i never seen anyone do this lolol! It feels so natural. I mainly play matched but a very small percentage of the time i play traditional so that practice technique will really help. Great lesson! Thanks!
I’m sorry, but I had to thank you one more time! I video taped myself playing, about three hours after practicing this, and I am NASTY now! I may have even shed a tear. Thank you, and I owe ya’ one... BIG TIME!
Haha! Thats so amazing! It's really cool to hear about the progress you are making.
Thank you for being probably the only one explaining the transition between using wrists and then fingers! Every other video I see they kindda explain what to do with the fingers, but then show slow singles using wrist and with no explanation of how one turns into the other. Truly, thank you!
Superb video instruction! Other drummers who create instructional videos should take note that you continually are demonstrating technique while you explain verbally. Young lady, you get an A+!!!!
wow, the best drum teacher on TH-cam. Merci mon ami from Toronto, Ontario.
There are a number of techniques, this is only one of them. I've NEVER heard any instructor of this technique say, "You do this throughout the day during your spare time." I'm excited to apply your instructors. I will give it all the time it takes.
I want to apply this to any sustained 16th notes on the HiHat, fast bossa nova, and of course, "What'd I Say", by Ray Charles(cymbal bell bounce)
Thank you!!!
Best single stock lesson I have ever seen 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks so much!
This is fantastic, not only did you teach it, you gave me the drill to get good at it. Much appreciated
Thank you so much for showing me your technique. You actually show exactly whats going on. I love the tip you threw in there as well about practicing on your fore arms. Im forever grateful ❤
Very well done. That's how You show people what is going on with the hand / fingers !!!!
I have sought out so many videos on stroke techniques, and you seem to be the first person with a real inclination to teach, explain, and demonstrate as opposed to just reciting information.
thanks i'm a 64 year old man and just started to watch drum videos and i learned a lot of things from your video that i never knew before. i do not own any drums yet just got sticks and messing around to see if i would like drums or not just useing the sticks and practice pad.
Thank you 😊 finally I can see 👀 what the whole movement is with the fingers engaged. Awesome explanation of how to work your fingers for better control too! 🦄🙃
Thank you very much for these tips...God bless you 🙏🏾
This is great stuff. The clearest explanation of finger technique EVER. Bless
Glad it was helpful! Bless you too!!!
Ah ! One of my favorite phrases ! Your brain Knows what you want to do ! It just takes discipline . Thanks ! I will do this every day . I want to be like you .
She the best drum coach I like so far. Great technique
I'm from an Asian country. Drumming is just starting in my country. I always wondered why they can play so fast. Someone told me that you have to use your wrist at 180bpm and then start using your fingers after 200bpm. I am learning the skills of your video, thank you
Thank you so much!! My rolls, off beats, chops, and ride hits are so much sharper with more ummmph. I am forever grateful.
Camelia, Thank you for posting this finger technique! It has helped accelerate my relearning drums from 45 years not playing, and now I'm enthusiastic like I was at 10 about playing drums again!
You are a gem!
Randy
Hey!!! That’s awesome! I am happy the technique is helping. 💯❤️🥁
Took a break from drumming but now I am back to learning. Thank you.
I love how you keep repeating the teaching, it is very helpful. Thank you for elaborating and continuing to teach.
You are so welcome!
Thank you perfect instructions and demonstration, yes you’re a wonderful teacher and person for sharing.
Stay drumming
Thank You!
heh, I discovered that reverse stick thing when I was 18, 45 years ago. Really helped me to learn to downstroke (clue to where I marched). Used that idea with the kids I taught for years.
