This is an excellent video. I am 67 years old and the push pull came naturally to me through time but not nearly as clean as you are playing here. I will be working on this everyday. Thank you for this demonstration. Btw, Neil Peart alway said that Tom Sawyer was the most difficult song for him to play because of the 16th notes on the hi hat. Thanks again Stanton!
Funky Drummer is such a great groove!I'm a 50 year old drummer that gigged jazz/blues/rock in my 20s and 30s.... Then I learned to code, to make a much better living and have only played a couple years in church in the last 15 years. I'm gonna be setting up again soon, and I am totally gonna get into some of these lessons. There's no time like now to introduce some new and better habits! (I'm excited about developing a lot more Moeller and stealing some Keith Carlock) Thanks for the inspiration, Stanton!
Gadson’s push pull was something I would watch on vhs and dvd. Once you get it then it’s second nature. You’re dropping knowledge for the next generation of drummers
this has been working for me: play along to this playlist and in this order. do not stop. keep the order as listed. if you get tired, go back and forth between 16th's & 8th's. but, again, don't stop. eventually you'll be able to play all with 16th's. (one hand) I don't really do a push-pull technique, it's more like I'm turning a knob or using a screwdriver if that makes sense. stumbled upon this "technique" but it works. at least for me. you can easily sneak in/add to playlist, "Funky Drummer" between tracks 5 & 6. The last two tracks have more of a swing feel to them. good luck. relax. have fun. 1. No Ordinary Romance - Al Jarreau 2. Give A Little More Lovin' - Al Jarreau 3.

I clicked the video because I saw the Tip's shirt in the thumbnail, didn't even realize it was Stanton Moore wearing the shirt! Love the specification/distinction between push-push/pull-push, I think it really makes a difference when you start working the accents in.
Quite refreshing to see an actual musical example of how those fancy techniques can be applied. If you search for push/pull or moeller on TH-cam, 95% are demonstrations on a pad. That technique translates beautifully on the kit in that context, thanks for the lesson Stanton
Very cool. I’m trying switch to open handed drumming instead of cross stick and my left hand suuuuuuucks. I can get it with my right, but this is gonna take some work. Nice groove, you make it seem approachable, thanks
Thanks to it all. You were the first to talk about the reverse pull push. Its unlocked and unblocked my mind and thinking wath is right or wrong. At last you GROOWE tha Funk.👍
When I watch Stanton playing drums it reminds me of that clip of Charlie Parker watching Buddy Rich with the BIGGEST grin on his face. He's having the best time of his life. Absolute pure joy. Keep the fire burnin' :)
This is really interesting to hear how you flip the technique backwards. I tend to play my 16th notes using more of a condensed Moeller technique within the wrist, rather than push/pull - although there are some elements of it. I've often heard it referred to by many drummers as 'shank/tip' technique. I struggled for years trying to speed up 'shank/tip' as when you play it slowly it works, but as you speed it up your wrist can tighten up until you reach a speed bottle neck. It wasn't until I asked Larnell Lewis to break his technique down, that he suggested flipping the technique on its head in a way that it opens up, rather than closes it down. So in my head I have to think 'tip/shank' instead of 'shank/tip' (ie backwards like you suggested). So I am thinking of placing the 'tip' first on the 'ah' of 4, before the 'shank' on the 1 of the next bar. This way I'm thinking of playing the 16th note on the way down, before the 8th note which opens up my technique, rather than trying to squeeze in a 16th note after the 8th note on the way up which closes it down. Just flipping the way my brain thought about it completely transformed the way I was able to approach it.
I love drumming as you can tell from my channel's 1000 videos. I refer to that chunk-a sound on the hi-hat as pumping the 1\8s or 1\16s because it is the motion of pumping water from a well, using the wrist & arm in a wave like Moeller taught. It's very efficient to move as a wave. "Tension is evil" (like a taskmaster whipping you to make bricks with less straw), so you have to stay "loose as a goose." Fun!
My first drum teacher taught me a similar tecnique that goes ' tip shank tip shank' etc etc on the hi hat, and even though it's a bit tricky at first, it certainly has it's merits once you 'have it down'. Give it a try !!!!
Stanton is such an amazing teacher and drummer with his own drum skills, one of the best groove drummers and very musical. Every time I love to hear his drumming. 👍
I love that Stanton discovered this after playing professionally for more than a decade. Many successful drummers revisit what they think they know to change it up (Dave Weckl, Neil Peart, and many others) so they prove there's always something more to learn. Try to play Use Me without this technique!
The slow- mo wrist shot is the most badass thing ever, will you do a compilation vid including a slow-mo wrist shot of the guitarist and bassist jamming along?
hey Stanton thanks so much! I really appreciate the immaculate feel and finesse you put into this simple beat. I hope to get it just as well eventually. (and the funky drummer beat too). Also great tone, tuning, and overall sound in this video.
hey stanton, you don't talk at all about arm motion but that appears to be a major part of how you (and james gadson) make this work. could you comment on how you're thinking about that?
Good point…the arm is definitely part of the motion. With this technique in particular the arm motion is minimized a bit. It’s important to note that the arm is moving one time for each two notes. The arm plays a bigger part in the “shank tip” motion which will be covered in the next video! 🙌🏼
If you bring your elbow into your body more and turn your hand over a little, it'll help. You're not going to have a right shoulder anymore after an hour and a half gig. It'll also give the groove more weight and shape. It sounds consistent but a bit ballerina at the moment. Those classic James brown beats have loads of dynamics.
Very good point. My first drum teacher drilled into me that you should always be able to see the BACK of your hand when playing as it fully helps with the ' bouncing' off the last two fingers. As you guys point out, after a while it becomes natural
Glad you like it! That’s my Titanium Spirit of New Orleans signature snare. 4.5x14 Coated Remo Ambassador on the top with an Ambassador snare side on the bottom. I tune the bottom head about as high as it’ll go and the top head is a little higher than medium tension. It’s available at Memphis Drum Shop and Drum Center of Portsmouth. 🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
Sinead O'Connor's "I Am Stretched On Your Grave". That song is based on the the "Funky Drummer" beat. Though probably not as good as Stanton played it here...
Hey Stanton!! I met you a long time ago when you played the bourbon up in Lincoln Nebraska… I live in Nashville now! Working on this myself lately… I also have a case of tennis elbow on my right arm… Do you have any suggestions for how to keep playing and not ruining your elbow? I’ve got shows and rehearsals and all kinds of stuff… I can’t take an extended period of time off… I just hope I’m not totally screwing my arm over by continually playing.
I was feeling some elbow tension couple years ago. I made sure to use my middle finger and thumb as my fulcrum so that I have a loose grip. Also, I was focused on the throw and making sure that I was loose upon impact as the stick hit the head or cymbals. I just try to make sure I have a loose grip at all times and good posture and am not hitting too hard. All that said I also had someone do some bodywork on me to relieve some of the tension I was feeling in the elbow. I hope that helps. 🙌🏼
Excellent video, Stanton! I greatly appreciate the share. I play 16th single hand with more of a Moeller technique (wrist bobbing up and down) but I play swing/shuffle patterns with a open/close technique similar to what you demonstrate (I believe). Going to work on straightening that shuffle technique into a 16th pattern.
Thanks Stanton great stuff . Love you reductive approach. I wonder if you agree that push pull & Moeller can just “happen “ if one is loose , sort out one’s fulcrums , ie French , German etc & with focused practice .,My biggest problem as I got older was being too stiff . Luv Jo Jo s DVD but found Tommy Igoes dvd & “ loose approach “ also helpful . Fascinating too your conversation with Keith Carlock which is the same story re drum corps rudiments to looser drumset approach as Tommy . Sorry if disrespectful I will get some of your products after I finish Tommy’s , the Willcoxin Swing book , Gary Chaffees . 🙏 thx for the transcription of Maestro Clyde’s Masterpiece.
@@jeffreywegener8841 great questions! Push pull and Moeller are very natural motions to me once you understand the motions. But I think we have to kind of “relearn” how to loosen up and allow the natural motions to happen…If that makes sense. I guess we need to learn how to get out of our own way!🙌🏼
Ive been calling these Throw-up doubles (funny names stuck in my student's heads) since the 90s. You can see complete breakdown on my webpage at my Channel under drums, rudiments, then double-strokes.
Stanton you’re so good and so humble . I appreciate that you worked this out in your 30’s. For me I was 50 during Covid when I discovered it and yes, how did I miss that for so long. I worked it out watching TV too 😂. You’re a great teacher too, appreciate your approach.
The Late Great Rufus Thomas did a tune titled Do The Push And Pull. I have the Instructional Book,Give The Drummer Some.Thanks Sir for the great Drum Tip,very helpful,too.
A really valuable video for learning. I enjoy your to the point explanation and demonstration. I'm learning a lot as a professional drummer. Thank you! 💯
Mycket bra! Very good, translated from Swedish. I always get? happy when I see and hear you play. This is not as easy as it might look, but really worth practicing, a lot.😊
Man, super useful and important technique, wish I'd been working on this years earlier! We saw Garage a troi at Ardmore music hall last night, incredible show, thanks for the inspiration!
I never even considered doing reverse push pull. but it all makes sense, I have a very very hard time with accents and grace notes on my snare hand doing the open close for doubles because i'm often 'pulling' a note on the hi hat and 'pushing' a note on the snare at the same time and it gets confusing. I feel like practicing it both ways is a must now. Phew........so much work but the results are always worth it :D
I have to admit that I don't understand the difference between what you are doing to what I see others do. It looks to me as if you let go (= open) when you drop the stick, and close (= grab' pull) when you collect it again. At 3:46 you start with "close" and at 3:50 you start with "open", but the movement itself is no different. Can someone let me know what I am not getting? thanks!
Great video, Stanton! Glad you mention Secret Weapons...that video is like the technique bible. Jojo is a damn technique WIZARD. I'm still trying to get good with the push-pull...it's tough and takes time! It's interesting, if you think about it, when doing a double stroke roll, it's almost the same as push-pull technique but it's easier because you alternate hands and get some time to rebound for the next diddle. Whereas with single handed 16ths like this, it's harder because you have to maintain a steady stream of evenly spaced notes. But, the technique itself is very similar, both being a "drop catch" type thing! Oh yeah, one more thing: If you watch the really fast rock/metal guys, they often use push-pull but interleaved with both hands...it can get you CRAZY fast singles around the kit.
Good stuff... I heard Todd Sucherman say it's like a stabbing motion (horizontal) or like you are shooting pool and try to get it to sound like a shaker.
@@stantonmooremusic 😎 Just subscribed! I've owned a bunch of your CDs and DVD for a while now, but recently joined the 21st century on the web lol can't wait to study more! 👍
@@markchristopher420 Fantastic! I’m excited to have you become a member of the Academy. I think you’re going to really enjoy the content of the lessons and the community nature of the forum. Thank you for your interest and support! 🙌🏼
Thanks Stanton, I was trying to play some 16th note beats recently and just failing. I'll get to work on the push pull. I have that JoJo video and just haven't worked on the push pull. Wake up call...
I've been trying to get the 16 on the high hat and its been driving me crazy. This really helps. Thank you Stanton. Please everyone check this guy out - particularly garage a trois (one of the all time genius band names). Also Gadson who is just such a king!
Moving between, one motion bouncing 4 sixteenth notes (muller), then two (push pulls) equaling 4 sixteenth notes is a decent cheat, that combines techniques.
Ok great! I went to your channel though and I don’t see any videos posted yet. Please let me know when you post something so I can see how it is that you do play. I would love to see what you’re up to. 🙌🏼
My 16th note speed is suspect, so sometimes if it's above where I can pull it off, I pull a Charlie Watts. That either means something to you or not, but Charlie had a sort of unique pattern to his ride hand.
@@robertkees6048 yep! That totally makes sense! Love Charlie! I cover a few ways to leave space when playing 16th notes in this vid. th-cam.com/video/sox6RkS36js/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bN8dSkevN7ggr3N9
Great video and thanks for the lesson. I see during your video you are using a french grip on the hats, is that by choice or is it recommended for more control? I tend to stay with a more American-German grip but to me it looks like you are getting more stronger 16th's.
I’m using French for this technique, but in my next video I demonstrate the “Shank Tip” method and use more of an American grip. It just depends on what is most comfortable for you. 🙌🏼
That is a good question. With the “Push Pull” 16th note technique, there is a repetitive open/close motion with the lead hand. With faster doubles the right hand opens and closes then the left hand opens and closes, but the hands alternate. In both instances there is an open close involved and I suppose the techniques are similar in that way. Thanks for tuning in!
Man, this is soooo cool!! It looks and sounds so smooth and funky! I guess I'm more of an "up-down" guy...Although I'm pretty sure fingers are doing some work too. Great lesson, man...Love it!!
i am 67 years old and there is always something else to learn, it never ends. even if i am playing guitar, steel guitar , bass, bongos, piano and of course drums. so it is a never ending journey. a good video, thanks.
Thanks. You may watch the Flag Tap Snap technique from Todd Sucherman also. Then it can be applied to ride and cup also. He has many Drumeo lessons about this. Todd Sucherman--Flag Tap Snap. Only one way to do it. th-cam.com/video/nbIcOaORrAw/w-d-xo.html This is world class and now only used in samba. He also uses the loose in between timing concept you like, so it will fit to your New Orleans shuffle style also: Ramon Montagner - Push and Pull & Grips - Coqueiral th-cam.com/video/AbjslbNtVl0/w-d-xo.html
And yet there are still so many people who still can’t do this. There are so many songs that need consistent 16th notes. This is a timeless technique. This is not out of date. Thanks for tuning in nonetheless. 🙌🏼
I just went to your channel to see how you might play consistent 16th notes, yet you don’t have any videos up. Please let me know what techniques you use to play consistent 16th notes. I’m always down to learn something new. 🙌🏼
so i wanna blame my electronic kit cymbals... could just be me tho... anybody else in my situation feel like u can't get the rebound u need to pull it off?

Oh yeah, one more thing: If you watch the really fast rock/metal guys, they often use push-pull but interleaved with both hands...it can get you CRAZY fast singles around the kit.
Thanks! Great point about the similarity to doubles! I agree! 🙌🏼
"that might not be great for your relationship" Lol! That made me laugh. Been there.
@@tostevelee 🙌🏼😂👊🏼
Good stuff... I heard Todd Sucherman say it's like a stabbing motion (horizontal) or like you are shooting pool and try to get it to sound like a shaker.
That’s the “Shank Tip” technique. That’s coming up in the next video! 🙌🏼
@@stantonmooremusic oh ok, gotcha thanks
I love how Todd also compares it to
cutting a steak... tasty grooves! 😋

Just subscribed! I've owned a bunch
of your CDs and DVD for a while now,
but recently joined the 21st century on
the web lol can't wait to study more! 👍
@@markchristopher420 Fantastic! I’m excited to have you become a member of the Academy. I think you’re going to really enjoy the content of the lessons and the community nature of the forum. Thank you for your interest and support! 🙌🏼
Thanks Stanton,
I was trying to play some 16th note beats recently and just failing. I'll get to work on the push pull. I have that JoJo video and just haven't worked on the push pull. Wake up call...
@@rickeaton3085 it’ll help! Thanks for tuning in!🙌🏼
Sweet video👍
I like to practice both push/pull and pull/push.
Both useful for sure
🙌🏼
I've been trying to get the 16 on the high hat and its been driving me crazy. This really helps. Thank you Stanton. Please everyone check this guy out - particularly garage a trois (one of the all time genius band names). Also Gadson who is just such a king!
🙌🏼🥁🙏🏼
I play the push pull as a whip and pull with the fingers!
@@russellesimonetta9071 🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
Moving between, one motion bouncing 4 sixteenth notes (muller), then two (push pulls) equaling 4 sixteenth notes is a decent cheat, that combines techniques.
@@webstercat 🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
Great lesson. Michael Cavanaugh is a newer drummer who does this technique very very well.
Thank you for tuning in! 🙌🏼
Plan a trip to Memphis drum shop and maybe do a lesson. I’m sure Jim Pettit would be glad to accommodate you. Would love to see you again
🙌🏼🥁🙏🏼
Absolutely love this lesson! Such a key skill, thanks for sharing this!!
Thanks for tuning in!
I have been learning this technique by watching metal drummers such as David Diepold and James Payne
🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
Il play how i want to play thanks
Ok great! I went to your channel though and I don’t see any videos posted yet.
Please let me know when you post something so I can see how it is that you do play.
I would love to see what you’re up to. 🙌🏼
@@stantonmooremusic i play for myself not anyone else sorry
@@simonlamphee9905 that’s a great reason to play! Enjoy. 🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
@@stantonmooremusic Still very positive!
They won’t be derailing you.
@@m.vonhollen6673 🙏🏼😉👊🏼
A very thuro lesson Stanton nicely explained enough too make a subscriber out of me nice job thanks!!!🙏🤘
Thank you! 🙏🏼
My 16th note speed is suspect, so sometimes if it's above where I can pull it off, I pull a Charlie Watts. That either means something to you or not, but Charlie had a sort of unique pattern to his ride hand.
@@robertkees6048 yep! That totally makes sense! Love Charlie! I cover a few ways to leave space when playing 16th notes in this vid. th-cam.com/video/sox6RkS36js/w-d-xo.htmlsi=bN8dSkevN7ggr3N9
Aces!
🙌🏼
is it essential to have the thumb on top? can you achieve this using a so called American grip?
Sure, You can achieve this with an American grip. Experiment and see what feels comfortable to you.
Great video and thanks for the lesson. I see during your video you are using a french grip on the hats, is that by choice or is it recommended for more control?
I tend to stay with a more American-German grip but to me it looks like you are getting more stronger 16th's.
I’m using French for this technique, but in my next video I demonstrate the “Shank Tip” method and use more of an American grip. It just depends on what is most comfortable for you. 🙌🏼
@@stantonmooremusic ok thanks look forward to that video
@@drumsrlife71418 🙌🏼
Are you playing shoulder/tip/shoulder/tip?
No, that would be the Shank/Tip technique, which I cover in this video…
th-cam.com/video/mQEoZXXOyCU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=pyCxcvoRu-12vXqE
What metronome speed are you at there please?
At which part of the video?
Is the 16th note technique the same as double stroke?
That is a good question. With the “Push Pull” 16th note technique, there is a repetitive open/close motion with the lead hand. With faster doubles the right hand opens and closes then the left hand opens and closes, but the hands alternate. In both instances there is an open close involved and I suppose the techniques are similar in that way. Thanks for tuning in!
GREAT lesson! I have been trying to work on this for a while and I get it now...back to the pad. Thank you!
Glad to hear you’re digging it! 🙏🏼🥁🙌🏼
any videos on one hand fast roll?
love u bro
@@maximomartinez6843 🙏🏼🥁🙌🏼
Holy shmoly, I can't even imagine playing in backward in pull/push.....I'm digging those demo grooves...gotta jump on the kit now 😂
🙌🏼 Thanks for tuning in!
Man, this is soooo cool!! It looks and sounds so smooth and funky! I guess I'm more of an "up-down" guy...Although I'm pretty sure fingers are doing some work too. Great lesson, man...Love it!!
Thanks my man! I’m so glad you dig it. I know how much you love 16th note grooves! 🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
Jo Jo with no fro?
What snare is that?
That’s my Spirit of New Orleans signature titanium snare. It is available at Memphis Drum Shop and Drum Center of Portsmouth! 🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
Awesome, love the sound and tune. Is that a magnetic damper in the top right corner of the rim?
Is it my device or is the audio at an extra low volume?
Jojos video is the stick control of the new millennium. Essential
A agree! A must watch for all drummers in my opinion. 🙌🏼
Demo starts at 2:30
Jeff pocroro was fantastic at this
🙌🏼
Here you can hear Jeff’s single handed uptempo 16th notes th-cam.com/video/x_CqHnP1k9U/w-d-xo.html
@@itsarni thanks man…he makes it feel so good. The sixteenths give it a really nice feel.
i am 67 years old and there is always something else to learn, it never ends. even if i am playing guitar, steel guitar , bass, bongos, piano and of course drums. so it is a never ending journey. a good video, thanks.
@@jodyguilbeaux8225 thanks for tuning in!🙌🏼
Clyde and Procaro are the kings of the 16ths IMO. I'll try this method and see what happens. Nothing has been very successful so far.
I hope it helps, stay tuned because I will be demonstrating some other techniques for 16th notes as well. 👊🏼
@@stantonmooremusic sweet! Looking forward to that!!!!
I got that JoJo Mayer DVD!
🙌🏼
Wow
@@mukisaidi847 🙏🏼🥁🙌🏼
Thanks. You may watch the Flag Tap Snap technique from Todd Sucherman also. Then it can be applied to ride and cup also. He has many Drumeo lessons about this.
Todd Sucherman--Flag Tap Snap. Only one way to do it. th-cam.com/video/nbIcOaORrAw/w-d-xo.html
This is world class and now only used in samba. He also uses the loose in between timing concept you like, so it will fit to your New Orleans shuffle style also: Ramon Montagner - Push and Pull & Grips - Coqueiral th-cam.com/video/AbjslbNtVl0/w-d-xo.html
@@HenkJanDrums very cool vids! 🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
In the seventies, a lot of drummers used this technique. Me included.
🙌🏼
Yeah, great, and the left hand?
SO YESTERDAY MAN 😂 ITS 2022 NOW!!!! LOL 😂 SO YESTERDAY!!!!
And yet there are still so many people who still can’t do this. There are so many songs that need consistent 16th notes. This is a timeless technique. This is not out of date. Thanks for tuning in nonetheless. 🙌🏼
I just went to your channel to see how you might play consistent 16th notes, yet you don’t have any videos up. Please let me know what techniques you use to play consistent 16th notes. I’m always down to learn something new. 🙌🏼
Haha, I just realized that I also do my push pull backwards.
@@andrewdelrusso4951 nice! 🙌🏼
👌🏽
🙏🏼
Playing that pattern at p.
Great lesson, thanks! (but come on responders..let's get Jeff Porcaro's name right :-/ )
Congratulations on the New Orleans tourism ad. You got paid to do that? Grin
so i wanna blame my electronic kit cymbals... could just be me tho... anybody else in my situation feel like u can't get the rebound u need to pull it off?
Maybe don’t work on this technique while your spouse is watching tv with you.
“Yeah, you right!”
🙌🏼
Not good push-pull form. You need to keep your pinky on the stick and involve the thumb.
What about left hand? I found more talking and less practical in the lesson.
@@mathewsraja7959 I plan on doing one on the left hand soon.🙌🏼🥁👊🏼
@@stantonmooremusic Right sir. waiting.
Non l,ho capita sinceramente,difficile da applicare
