I hope to "suck" as much as you do. Seriously, this is an excellent warm up/ workout. I was able to keep up except for the Swiss triplet turnaround. Thank you again for an outstanding learning tool!
This video is gonna change my life! Its the type of instruction I have always wanted to have. Broken down and demonstrated right in front of my face so I can see it and hear it and keep doing it untill I can do it as good as you can play. Over and over and over! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
I've been doing this workout almost every day for the last two weeks and I really can't believe how much I’ve improved. So thank you for posting this, are you planning to make a series? What about a guided workout for the feet ?
+brunete2505 That's great to hear! I did make a full series on my website that goes more in depth which you can access from the links above in the description. As for feet workouts, that could definitely be a possibility in the future. I've got lots of things I'm wanting to do eventually, it's just a matter of getting around to it all!
I like to to the 2nd, 3d and 4th exercises twice, leading first with my dominant hand and then with my non-dominant hand. If you want to practice this way too use this timestamp 2:04 for a good place to restart and lead with the other hand.
I have been using your full workout for a little over a month now. I tried the TH-cam workout for the first time in a few weeks and this time I was able to keep up until the end. It was rough and ready, to say the least, but your workouts have improved my hands considerably. I still have a long way to go but with your workouts I am getting there. Thanks again.
Hey guys! Hope you like this practice session. If you want to go more in depth, the full series is available here: www.abbdrums.com/guided-hand-workouts
Austin, what an amazing idea this guided workout is! Actually not just the idea, but the execution itself, your production and everything else. I'm always looking for guided workouts, but there's not a lot out there, especially not so well executed. And it got me thinking: what if you'd do a guided series on that George L. Stone stick control book? I'd definitely pay a premium to see it done properly, by someone who understand notation, understands video production, plus, with this idea of increasing tempos, it would be so useful. I think that it would become the standard go-to video series for all drummers looking for serious stick/hands control material; Right now I find myself picking the darn book up, doing a few exercises, being unsure if I interpreted some of the notation right, and, basically, just bouncing between a ton of frustrations and uncertainties. And of course just giving up on it. But if there was a comprehensive video series out there, I think I'd practice a lot more and actually get some enjoyment out of the entire process. Anyways, this idea (and execution, especially the execution!) of pad and stick videos is really good, really useful. So please do more!
These are good exercises. I drop out when the tension sets in on the muscles. Slowly advancing every day but trying to remain relaxed. Hope to reach your speed one day! Thanks for posting.
I bought the practice sessions from Austin's website. It's less than $10 bucks! My fingers are literally bloody (although I do live in a really dry climate). Really good stuff to build speed, technique, finger control, and endurance. Thanks, Austin!
That's for the lesson, I've been a drummer over 30 years,learning these exercises,it has no douht "unlocked"a whole new world!! I use these everyday now..🤘Rock on brutha, Ty
dude, its just rudiments, if you like did 30 years of drumming without ever hearing about rudiments that is crazy, must be way off the grid man. Anyway, good for you bro!
Same here ! I mean did all the basics just didn’t have a routine which is what made me find this . Ironically I’m better at all the technical stuff than the basics. 🤷♂️
I purchased the extended version years ago and played it everyday for years. Love it. Anyway the reason I’m commenting is TH-cam brought this up and I went over it again. Love it. So thank you Austin,,,,,for having the “vision”and then struggling though to make the videos. I don’t play because I want to,,I play because have too. It’s who I am. Right? Thanks again man. Hope you’re well. Nick. Big fan. :) sweet!!!

Man, tanks you so much for your videos I am amateur drummer in my hause and your practis pad videos are so good for me, I do your videos every days, so thanks, is the ves that I found on TH-cam, from Chile!! Thanks
This IS exactly what many of us need. These exercises are fundamental for skill building. It gives many of us access to hard maneuvers, tempo changes and adaptation to hard pieces. The coordination and independence of legs and arms exercises would be great. This is how how you educate and make your community stronger and interested in the instrument. A review on the fundamentals and short introductory videos on how to start and build skill fast would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for this.
Still using this one. Years now. I bought the series. Awesome sauces! Highly recommend if you want to build a great foundation. Thanks again Austin. Tis Nick :) Big fan.
Been doing this twice a day for a week and already see myself reaching the highest tempo on several of the exercises. It feels great to see progress being made, thanks for the workout guides.
Austin! I love this! I’ve been trying to come up with something like this for my students and you really hit the nail on the head. I’m going to share this with my students and have them provide you feedback as well. Again, this is outstanding! Well done.
So good to find a workout that pushes your boundaries just enough and its reachable, been doing this everyday. Will definitely look into purchasing from your website.... whats $30 when we pay so much for crappy streaming sites every month
I believe he's not using only full strokes. He's using a combination of full, tap, up and/or down strokes depending on the pattern. Without forgetting the bounces and fingers. Otherwise it would be impossible to play at the highest speeds and stay relax the way he is without all those techniques.
@@fredfontane4191 That's what I'd figure too. I'll have to watch again. At the time I wrote it, I don't recall any kind of down, tap, up (Moller as you obviously know). I also don't think his fingers left the stick at all? He just seems to have had incredibly fast full strokes. I'll have to watch again. It's been a while
Thanks Austin for this wonderful exercices, very nice to work & practice, I love rudiments ! As usual, it is always a pleasure to read & watch our videos, always instructives ! Best reguard, Emilio L. (France).
So funny story... Was playing along with the Tommy Igoe intermediate warmup video. Skipped to this tutorial and was blown away by your speed and precision. Had a hard time keeping up. At the end I decided to go back and do it at .75x speed only to find out I had it at 1.25x speed. Was wondering what the hell was going on. Still, excellent video friend. Lol
I'm 2 weeks in and I cant go past the singles into doubles,jeeez. This is tough but I'm addicted now ,I'll write back when I get through at least half the vid without stopping ✌😎
Dude,,,Mr. Austin, Do you tour? If so please let me know if you ever come to Nashville or surrounding area. It would be an honor to shake your hand. You are such a force when it comes to the art of drumming. You say "study the greats",,,,uhh,,,you're one of 'em. Thx again for all you do for the drumming community. You really know how to throw down and pick up those sticks. ;) Nick big fan. Come on to Nashville tn. We'd really like to have you. Sincerely.
Been doing this and a few other TH-cam guided playalongs. Took the plunge and got the $30 full course and I love it man. Pumping those singles! Nice. 👌🥁
when I first attempted to complete this workout, I failed exactly at the last divisions of each type. guess I know now how to work on my rudimental routine in a most efficient way. thanks a lot, Austin!
Артем Фахрутдинов Good to hear! That's really the point of this whole thing... It's supposed to test your limits and push you into new tempos you wouldn't strive for otherwise.
I just watched video today I think it's awesome exercise for good hand work. I will start practice today only. Pls put sone videos for foot work also thanks a lot💕😊
+DrJuice1 Glad you enjoy it. I have a PayPal donate button at the top of my channel where the social links are if you were wanting to show some support :)
Push-pull method is super helpful with that. With the push-pull the fastest tempo doesn't feel fast. Gordy Knutson has incredible videos on the technique
Ive been playing rudimentals for years and those excercises are really great as a warmup before I get on the set. IT loosens up my hands prior to working on drumless songs .
I’m new to drumming and I was always fascinated by a song by the offspring; the opening snare intro to their song nitro. I thought “man that’s a different type of drum roll. That’s pretty cool.” Then I heard a paradiddle diddle for the first time and was like “oh. That explains it.” Haha. But also thank you for this video. It’s very inspiring.
Man!. I'm a pretty good kit drummer, but I've never practice these rudiments really. I made it about halfway and then they got pretty tough for me. I want to improve my hand technique, so I'm going to keep it up though!. 😦😨😭 Great video!, 15 minutes feels perfect, but I think I need to find a nice thorough intermediate exercise
Found this today and LOVE it!! I have been using Great Hands for a Lifetime, but needed something else. THIS is that something else! From fellow trad grip player to another, thank you!! Curious as to what program you used to make this? Thanks again!!
Great hands,love what you’re doing and showing, truly appreciate you and your willingness to share and give back to us in the drummer’s world. I should probably know this but please tell us, (me), what are you using to get the metronome to increase in speed.i’m unaware of how or what makes that happen. Thank you very much for sharing your expertise.
Thanks for the kind words :) I created the click tracks myself in Logic and bounced them out as mp3’s. They’re all available to download inside the full course on ABBDRUMS.COM 👍🏼
Austin...your non silly BS approach is MUCH appreciated by us older cats...exciting to see where you will be in 15 years...comment about using heavier sticks for this type of workout? drum corp marching type? also in the market for a pad.,..why the V3?
I was watching this and I agree the single double transition is tough and I found the really tough one is RLRL RRLL RLRL RRLL, especially at fast tempos
Thanks so much for this! Not only you just gave us a nice workout but also you play so well that I'm looking forward to practice harder with traditional grip. Any advices for doing it?
Just do it as much as possible and study guys who have mastered it (Weckl, Vinnie, Jojo.) Try to mimic their positions and movements and eventually you'll start to develop your own feel for it. It just takes time like with everything else!
Love your videos! Especially love the short B&W fail skits lol I'm focusing a lot on technique atm and noticed your right hand is very closed between thumb and forefinger - mine is open but my left hand is super closed like your right is - have you tried opening up that gap or prefer it closed? I can't decide if I wanna teach my left to be the same as right or just play with 2 "separate" grips in that respect
Took my five months, doing it just once a day.Just now i got through without hickups :D
“trust the process“
That’s great! There is another great channel almost as good as Austin’s it’s called Drum Lifestyle.
Schnipp thank you!
Props on putting this video out. It takes a lot of guts to put release a close-up video of your technique and metronome practice!
Seriously... when I was filming this I was like, ugh... now everyone's gonna see how much I suck haha
I hope to "suck" as much as you do. Seriously, this is an excellent warm up/ workout. I was able to keep up except for the Swiss triplet turnaround. Thank you again for an outstanding learning tool!
This video is gonna change my life! Its the type of instruction I have always wanted to have. Broken down and demonstrated right in front of my face so I can see it and hear it and keep doing it untill I can do it as good as you can play. Over and over and over! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

10 seconds later: TOO FAST!

I'm using this to develop traditional grip. Always been a matched grip drummer. I'm changing

Austin, what an amazing idea this guided workout is! Actually not just the idea, but the execution itself, your production and everything else. I'm always looking for guided workouts, but there's not a lot out there, especially not so well executed.
And it got me thinking: what if you'd do a guided series on that George L. Stone stick control book? I'd definitely pay a premium to see it done properly, by someone who understand notation, understands video production, plus, with this idea of increasing tempos, it would be so useful.

Glad you dig it :) Sounds like you're putting it to good use if you're getting bloody fingers haha... #dedication
I love this practice. My hands grow up every day! Thanks for Your work!
Thanks Austin! This is good stuff, it's really helping me.
That's for the lesson, I've been a drummer over 30 years,learning these exercises,it has no douht "unlocked"a whole new world!! I use these everyday now..🤘Rock on brutha, Ty

Thanks so much Austin, such a great pad workout! I follow the routine every time I practice.
Love this bro. Been doing it for 2 months. Really helped 🙏🏻
I know this geared towards kit drummers but this is basically how I warm up for marching snare. Really good stuff dude!
Thank you… all wrist/hands movement Forearms perfectly still-beautiful technique.
I used this before every show these days. I love it! Thanks Austin :)
Nice, glad you’ve been putting it to good use!
Still using this one. Years now. I bought the series. Awesome sauces! Highly recommend if you want to build a great foundation. Thanks again Austin. Tis Nick :)
Big fan.
been looking for a good warmup thanks
Really good exercises here. The paradiddle-diddle is a welcome addition.
Been doing this twice a day for a week and already see myself reaching the highest tempo on several of the exercises. It feels great to see progress being made, thanks for the workout guides.
this is a great idea for a video. thanks for posting it, definitely going to follow along when I get home from work!
This is my 2nd week watching this video seeing so much progress thank you so much for this video finally feel like I am a drummer
Austin! I love this! I’ve been trying to come up with something like this for my students and you really hit the nail on the head. I’m going to share this with my students and have them provide you feedback as well. Again, this is outstanding! Well done.
Thanks! I'll be interested to hear how they get along with it.
Only been a week every day, but can't yet get up to your speed, I get tensed. Great workout!
So good to find a workout that pushes your boundaries just enough and its reachable, been doing this everyday. Will definitely look into purchasing from your website.... whats $30 when we pay so much for crappy streaming sites every month
Thank you!!! I came back to this, this is really helping me big time!
What’s amazes me, he’s only using full strokes, and he goes though these seemingly effortlessly

My rudiments are faster than ever

Great work.
Maybe one day I'll make a study the greats lesson about you. Keep it up!

Can you name the other youtubers?
@@abbdrumswhere did you go brother? Have you stopped making new videos and content? We need you man
This is awesome Austin! Great lesson!
Thanks Justin!
I made it to 1:43 first time trough and 1:34 before tensing up. I gonna come back here in a couple weeks of doing this an see what I get.
this helped me a lot with my single strokes. a beginner drummer here. Thank you sir.
Thank you, Austin! Really useful warmup!
Cool work out bro been using for awhile ....super progress!
You are awesome Austin! Love this channel and vids!
Outstanding video and workout!!
when I first attempted to complete this workout, I failed exactly at the last divisions of each type. guess I know now how to work on my rudimental routine in a most efficient way. thanks a lot, Austin!
Артем Фахрутдинов Good to hear! That's really the point of this whole thing... It's supposed to test your limits and push you into new tempos you wouldn't strive for otherwise.
Your control is amazing! On my double stroke roll falls apart when I speed up, problem.
Man I am going to wear out this video practicing along with it.
Looking good Austin! Can't wait for the next study the greats!!!
These are awesome, love it! Cheers
I just watched video today I think it's awesome exercise for good hand work. I will start practice today only. Pls put sone videos for foot work also thanks a lot💕😊
Awesome video Austin! Great tips bro!
The goal tempos on most exercises are OK, but the swiss triplets one is inhumane!
Serious effort needed for that one...
Cheers Austin and thanks!
Great practice session, I'll pass on the traditional grip though, I wouldn't be able to keep up LOL
fr fr
i love this. we get the metronome, the notation, and the play-along. i wish you had a Patreon so i could donate.
+DrJuice1 Glad you enjoy it. I have a PayPal donate button at the top of my channel where the social links are if you were wanting to show some support :)
The one I have trouble with here is the alternating flams at the higher tempo? Always gets me
Push-pull method is super helpful with that. With the push-pull the fastest tempo doesn't feel fast. Gordy Knutson has incredible videos on the technique
Thanks for reminding me how terrible my flams are im coming back to this every day
Rt
Ive been playing rudimentals for years and those excercises are really great as a warmup before I get on the set. IT loosens up my hands prior to working on drumless songs .
Thank you again for this ! Such a life saver! Btw does anyone know the tempos used here ?
Diggin’ the traditional grip….it’s all I use
This is a great little work out if you only have 15 minutes to practice. You could maintain your level using this.
This is one of my go to practice routine!! I love this
Excellent instruction!!!
I’m new to drumming and I was always fascinated by a song by the offspring; the opening snare intro to their song nitro. I thought “man that’s a different type of drum roll. That’s pretty cool.” Then I heard a paradiddle diddle for the first time and was like “oh. That explains it.” Haha. But also thank you for this video. It’s very inspiring.
Ohh Austin, thanks for all Vids - i learn a lot from them,
I wish I could like this more times. You deserve more subs, man!
freaking awesome dudeee! greetings from México Austin!!!
The Swiss triplet flam de mill pattern is still a challenge, even after many weeks. Great exercise Austin!
Man!. I'm a pretty good kit drummer, but I've never practice these rudiments really. I made it about halfway and then they got pretty tough for me. I want to improve my hand technique, so I'm going to keep it up though!. 😦😨😭

Thank you for answering my question about the metronome. It’s a brilliant idea.
Great stuff!
Thanks for posting. I see this being a great help for me.
This is awesome!Been doing it for two weeks and i feel like i have wrists of steel :D
Thanks for this. Very good & very challenging. What tempo marks are each of the exercises played at?
I’m playing percussion for fun and I’m glad to see that I’m doing the technique mostly right 😂
Wow very inspiring! great vid!
Austin...your non silly BS approach is MUCH appreciated by us older cats...exciting to see where you will be in 15 years...comment about using heavier sticks for this type of workout? drum corp marching type? also in the market for a pad.,..why the V3?
It's raining pure stroke production!
Thanks Austin!
Very good thank you for the video
I was watching this and I agree the single double transition is tough and I found the really tough one is RLRL RRLL RLRL RRLL, especially at fast tempos
Could you ever do a video for your finger technique for traditional grip? I saw you doing a “squeeze” with your thumb I’d like to practice it
Its really wonderful am now some where
Thanks so much for this! Not only you just gave us a nice workout but also you play so well that I'm looking forward to practice harder with traditional grip. Any advices for doing it?
Just do it as much as possible and study guys who have mastered it (Weckl, Vinnie, Jojo.) Try to mimic their positions and movements and eventually you'll start to develop your own feel for it. It just takes time like with everything else!
Good consistency from hand to hand on the grace notes man. Most people fudge it and end up playing flat flams. Dig it bro. Where you from?
+Neil Holloman Drums Thanks man... originally Ohio, then LA, now San Jose haha
Austin Burcham nice man. Do your thing. Great work.
Love your videos! Especially love the short B&W fail skits lol
I'm focusing a lot on technique atm and noticed your right hand is very closed between thumb and forefinger - mine is open but my left hand is super closed like your right is - have you tried opening up that gap or prefer it closed? I can't decide if I wanna teach my left to be the same as right or just play with 2 "separate" grips in that respect
Where is the bpm?
this is great, thank you
Amazing talent Man
really good stuff man
Awesome Workout Brother. Thank You! \,,/
It's my first time trying this. I'll let you know my progress 😊
