As an older drummer that always knew I had terrible technique, I recently made it a goal to go and learn proper technique. Of all the videos I've come across I've found your approach to be the most straight forward and clear to what needs to be happening. Thanks
You quickly turned into one of my favorite drummers and instructors. It's so much fun watching you put your flawless technique to work, but you're also a great teacher!
Great photography angles….why is it I feel so relaxed watching this lesson? Incredible hand angles show everything. Must buy a backyard. Thanks for excellent instruction.
You explain it well, you film it well, you do it outdoors, your explanations include the physical aspects on the mechanics involved..... as well as a perception of how it should feel........ nice..... you make the difference!!! well done..... keep it up. George from Spain....thank you so much
And i`m in for learning for sure !! those rudiments /paradiddles has got me addicted lol and in a age of 52 year it,s crazy But funny and very interesting -who could imagine that should be a new part of the life : ) those and open hand "workout" catching me a lot ..Much Appreciated A.M you show and explain it very clear .. Sending you a bunch of virtuel flowers -California golden poppies : ) like those a lot.. Stay healthy and well -i will
Good thing I am practicing my roll on my pillow before watching this because unfortunately, I do not have a practice pad. I just hope I'll get better LOL . Thank you for the advice and for this video.
Hello Camellia, I'm so glad I somehow came across your channel... You're truly an amazing drummer and teacher.. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and talents.. God bless you 💙
Me again...this is probably the best double stroke roll video I've seen! I also think, the practice pad can give you a false sense of esteem on finger- related drum exercises. I've been using chair cushions & my forearms to develop my fingers. Thanks again for being you!
Hey! No worries, I'm just super excited that it's clicking for people. I just want to help encourage growth so I'm glad that some of this is clicking for people!!!
I just wanted to say thank you for posting videos like this! I'm a new drummer and it's so tempting to just jump right in and start learning/playing songs I like, but I'm also learning how important it is to have good technique and your lessons are a huge help!
You can do both. Do the grind, practice technique, often, long, focused. But always mix it up with playing your favorite songs, maybe even try out something you know is way out of your league, just to challenge yourself and discover the happy accidents along the way. And sometimes - just go nuts, play whatever, to hell with measures and time signatures, see where your growing musical mind takes you.
Hi Akhamie, thank you for the lesson, please could you explain again the difference between the push and pull technique and the finger technique you're using?
The great lesson a lot of people teach the double stroke roll like it's a press roll and it's not you have to be able to do a double stroke on the floor Tom
Ciao Cami 😍, Non so se hai trattato già questo argomento ma utilizzando la tradictional grip. Nel caso cercherò tra i tuoi video. Altrimenti ti chiedo se possibile di dire qualcosa in merito.😊 GRAZIE PER I TUOI VIDEO E PER QUELLO CHE FAI. Un saluto.
love your videos and your creativity! your background story too is great! your videos are pretty informative! enjoyed the gospel drums/chops videos, and your talent as a drummer! added bonus, your definitely easy on the eyes and very attractive! yup, subscribed lol! and you slay at double stroke rolls too, I could only hope to be as good as you at it some day. ive been playing 25 years and something just doesn't click right with it for me idk what it is....always feel like I'm 3/4 there, but missing the step where I take off and fly somehow. hope to work that out eventually. keep up the great videos! thank you
That's a lot of nice things to say! I appreciate and certainly if you can think of any of instruction that might be helpful let me know and I will do my best to make it happen.
@@camiloops.officialok, here goes then... i mentioned having trouble playing really fast double strokes. Things im curious about with it is why? Am i trying too hard? Am i supposed to find the balance between holding sticks super loose ,or tight, relaxed, french grip, matched, how much finger to wrist ratio here when going for fast double strokes?...i never took band in school, and i am self tought.... probably knee deep in bad habbits and technique, but have managed well throught it all....just stuck on this ......still
I really struggle with the doublestroke roll. I've heard many instructors talk about pillow practice. Because there is 0 rebound from the pillow, how is it possible that the stick is returning up for the second bounce? The hands must be pulling it up right? Does this even make sense? Keep up the good work and the camo look !
@pēteris ēteris I will give that a try. It sounds logical. I watched my drum instructor do doubles using the push pull method on surfaces without rebound and I could not understand how the stick was able bounce back without it. It seemed he is pulling it back up without being aware of it. Either way I am not able to reproduce it myself. Thanks again for taking the time to reply Peteris!!!
Great question Brett and thanks so much. Yes playing on a pillow means you won't be able to rely on the bounce. After practicing on a pillow all my drum rudiments became a lot cleaner. And yes the hands are pulling the stick up.
@@camiloops.official Thanks for taking the time answering my question. That was the affirmation I needed. Now I just need to figure out how to pull the stick up without rebound on the first stroke! lol. Keep up the good work.
@@brettallen611 check out the Moongel workout pad. It's a proper practice pad designed to have no rebound, I love mine. May be easier to work with than a pillow haha.
You mention the stick making a slicing motion, but if that happens (and I'm a victim of that!), how would you work on it to fix it and get the stick moving straight up and down, which is what you'd want? Thanks.
I can't go faster than 160 BPM not sure if I need to open my fingers more or not. Also not sure it sounds as clean as it should. What is the highest bpm I should aim for ?

Great Lesson,Thanks 😊
You are very welcome!
even an old turkey like me 65 still can learn the right way to use the sticks.
Great help. Could you tell us exactly what practice pad you used?
Beautiful and dynamic ❤
Thank you so much!

Thanks 🎶❤️🎶❤️🎶❤️
So grateful to see your video! I really struggled to do double stroke roll and I think that your practice may really help me to learn faster
Glad it was helpful! That is amazing news!

1:32 you compare the double stroke to push pull technique. Curious when and why you would use push pull vs the pull-pull technique here?
love your videos and your creativity! your background story too is great! your videos are pretty informative! enjoyed the gospel drums/chops videos, and your talent as a drummer! added bonus, your definitely easy on the eyes and very attractive! yup, subscribed lol! and you slay at double stroke rolls too, I could only hope to be as good as you at it some day. ive been playing 25 years and something just doesn't click right with it for me idk what it is....always feel like I'm 3/4 there, but missing the step where I take off and fly somehow. hope to work that out eventually. keep up the great videos! thank you

Nice video,thank you for sharing your skills.Kindly wear a microphone when you're facing the camera for a better sound quality.
Thanks .. clear and well described, returning to drums as a hard of hearing artist :)
That's amazing! Good luck and thanks for the kind words!
Вау, ты молодец. cool
Even though in this lockdown period im learning something new
I would practice for hours on a pad 4 years and now. Caurpl tunnel hand pain. And now 10 min a day suxx

Thank you again, your videos are genius! 👏🌹🇦🇺✌️
PS your audio levels need equalisation… 🙃
Once again great help to work on technique! Ever considered of making your grooves available as a loop pack?
Thanks so much. I am happy you enjoyed the video. I have some loops available on my website www.akhamie.com/music
you are great
Thank you! That is very kind. :)
You mention the stick making a slicing motion, but if that happens (and I'm a victim of that!), how would you work on it to fix it and get the stick moving straight up and down, which is what you'd want?
Thanks.
What about us traditional grip players? I can get my right hand strokes moving fast with the fingers but my left hand isn't keeping up.
Death metal drummers have a similar method to push and pull called gravity blast but they use the rim for bounce
Some rock triplets with one hand. Gravity blast
ありがとう😺
When you first start , should a beginner use light or heavy sticks or another type? Thanks!!!👋😁👍
Cool lesson. What drumsticks are you using?
what size of sticks you are using for practice? thanks God bless
Ur awesome
Thank you!!! That is really kind.
I can't go faster than 160 BPM not sure if I need to open my fingers more or not. Also not sure it sounds as clean as it should. What is the highest bpm I should aim for ?
Can I do this technic on a concrete floor?
What pad is that?
Does my speed gradually as I practice over time? How long did it took you to reach this speed level?
Is it possible to cheat/use bad form on pillow? Like If I'm doing a fairly fast double stroke is it correct?
Hello, are you using the fingers plus the bouncing? or just the fingers movements?
Thank you for the video...EZ.
