Stone Killer lesson

Another video dump! As part of my performance at the 2020 Modern Drummer Festival I answered some of the viewers questions and gave some mini-lessons. This particular one is about the "Stone Killer" exercises that I believe are incredibly useful and important. I learned these exercises from Joe Morello's book "Master Studies". They helped me immensely and I hope they will help you along as well!

Thomas, thanks for always sharing not only your own creativity and talents but also these pillars - Stone, Morello, … - with us. Vielen Dänke!

[@onionrick1]

Just wanted to say a massive thank you; your stone killer #2 led me to your drumeo technique video which I've been taking to the kit this week. It's made or difference to my drumming than anything else for almost 20 years. Legend. 🙏🙏🙏

I understand the technique being demonstrated, but what blows my mind is the effortless drumming. Those little improvised fills are amazing!

[@GrbaviTvor]

there"s 50 years of efforts behind that

[@MrYuvrajssingh]

Joe Morello: Master Studies Book I and Book II.
Both are excellent for building technique, control and touch on the snare. However, the exercises are easily orchestrated around the drum set as well.

[@RogerBiwandu]

[@jann470]

Hey thomas, can you plaese release a tour kit video about that one you're using ?

[@SheldonKreger]

Good Question, it's on his channel already! Freaking amazing kit!

[@TheMetalFreshTiger]

I always say that Lang is specialized in this! Prove me wrong if i am 😆

[@jaakkot9661]

Back to traditional grip?

[@DavidKrautscheid]

the snare sounds great but with a remo cybermax bater head it will sound even more aggesive!

[@RustyKnorr]

FFS. 🤦‍♂️🤡

[@woerge]

i play trumpet. why im watching a drum lesson...only thomas can do that to me.

[@SpiritualAlien]

I hear you Hans - I am a drummer but I love to listen to other musicians such as Stevie Ray Vaughn, Charlie Parker and Oscar Petersen simply because I admire virtuosity, no matter what the instrument.

[@Leddrums]

ahaha srsly

[@dalatina911]

3:10 this probably a dumb question, but why does he raise his drumsticks higher (farther from the snare) the faster he goes? I was taught that the faster you go, the closer your sticks are to the snare. I’m a new drummer, so please forgive my ignorance ❤

[@barryem6052]

Didn’t you learn your lesson from your operation?

[@teugene5850]

i don't know if many of you actually know what this man has just taught you....

[@mrsnakepit]

3.26 crazy...

[@Rogeriosantos-yc6yw]
