Brother, I have to respect the hours you spent on your craft. Salute to you and I hope the haters stop crying and realize that they are seeing the evolution of drums.
_The phases I went through watching this video:_ *1.* Watches video and say to myself this looks so easy *2.* Starts to follow along with the first exercise and thinks haha yeah this is as easy I thought it would be *3.* Gets 1 minute into the first exercise and wonders why my forearm muscles are starting to burn *4.* 2 minutes into the first exercise and can no longer move wrist due to forearm cramping up 😅 *5.* Realises the lesson isn't easy at all Thankyou Ricardo for the lesson, El Estapario sent me here. I saw other videos of haters a few months ago of people saying that you edit your vids and can't actually play that fast. I see they were completely wrong
You are fantastic! We all thank you so much for your generosity. Ignore the jealous and nasty remarks, we appreciate what a breakthrough this technique is and your playing is exciting and hugely creative. 🎉
Single stroke speed is my biggest weakness. I haven't practiced it much though because it's much more fun to practice other rudiments but this might make me change my mind. 😃
I'm the other way, as a young, I didmt have lessons. Or a proper grip, I probably still don't. Still never took a lesson. But I just didn't understand(and still don't totally) how to get really good at doubles and actually use them all around the kit. To me,when trying to learn rudiments, it just seemed pointless, as I was like "there's literally no difference between a double and a single, as a double is just two singles" and it just seemed so stupid to practice LLRR RRLL. It just seemed like a waste of my time.but boy was I wrong. Twenty years later and I'm still trying to erase bad habits.i still haven't had a proper lesson and although I understand it all technically, my execution and understanding of execution is still mysterious to me, as I've seen 30 different ppl explain grip differently, or wrist vs fingers differently, using rebound or not, depending on it or when to not depend on it at all, vs when to use your fingers...I still don't totally get it, as some ppls arms and hands are basically completely still, while theyre playing dozens and dozens of ghost notes between snare and or hi hat, and I just don't get it..still
Nice video man! I'm 15 and I found my personal killer secret. For the kick I started practicing like The Rev. I'm closing my doors and practice 60-90 mins just double bass endurance on a daily basis - boring but it works. The more endurance I get - the more speed I get. When I started doing this 30 min endurance without any break was limited at 120 bpm. I'm actually at 165 for the 30 min period and 200 like 30 sec. Your videos are cool! Keep 'em coming man🤘🤘🤘
Hello Riccardo, Thank you for taking time for me. It is amazing what you do on the drumset. I would be happy if can learn it, so i can play metal songs safe and at the correct speed. I am a hobby drummer and drumming makes me happy. I have bought the 2024 Full bundle and i have two Little questions about it. About the Videos Killer Speed secret : How much and often i must practice each excercise? A week, a month or how long ? What is the goal for each ? And when can i go to the next ? And what can i do when i have problems to do the excercise in your starting Speed ? I would be happy to hear from you. Thank you Bye bye
I’m 14, and I’ve begun practicing single stroke technique hours everyday. I kinda taught myself a very finger-driven technique, but I found it to be quite inadequate. I can do 270 bpm speed (2 strokes per beat) on each hand, but not for long. I couldn’t do it for longer than 32 beats on either hand. It’s really cool you’ve curated your own technique, I’m definitely gonna be studying this.
Kinda reassuring to see this is actually a proper technique. I haven't had the opportunity to own drums in 15 years, but I've learned this (or at least very similar) technique by myself, playing just with hands. It started out as a joke in middle school, playing blast beats against my legs, walls and people's heads, haha. Getting back to using sticks took a while but I managed to keep the technique with them, too. Needless to say, I've never needed a phone when I'm on the toilet...
He starts slow so that you can build your muscle memory up. Anyway, if you haven’t ever done the technique, it can still give you a burning sensation in the forearm. 70 bpm is still enough to build elasticity if it gives a burning sensation. Ricardo Merlini can play up to 450 bpm with his techniques, but he is just showing his viewers how to get started, hence why he is doing the exercises at a slower bpm.
@@LukeTang-t8l Yeah I’m gonna agree with most of what you said The majority of “free” info on the internet is free for a reason. Don’t be afraid to spend money on good lessons.
This exercise is undoubtedly useful but apparently not for me. I've been treated successfully for a tennis elbow half a year ago but after having done this exercise for 3 or 4 days it started acting up again...
wld you have to move your thumb toward the cymbal a bit in french grip n other opposing fingers toward you? you are making me think about how this can be utilised in more grips. thank you
Ricardo, please tell me your not human...HOW CAN YOU PLAY 450BPM AND NOT MOVE YOUR HANDS??? So I'm trying your teaching here on this video. Really...WTF. are you a robot?

I have bought the 2024 Full bundle and i have two Little questions about it.
About the Videos Killer Speed secret :
How much and often i must practice each excercise? A week, a month or how long ? What is the goal for each ? And when can i go to the next ?
And what can i do when i have problems to do the excercise in your starting Speed ?
I would be happy to hear from you.
Thank you

When you learn audio video editing, that's where you'll notice the biggest gains.
Great exercise ricardo, I will incorporate this to my daily workout practice 🤘
Midway through doing the exercises and getting pretty tired, I noticed I had set the playback speed to 1.25 :-P
Thanks for this awesome tutorial
you had it on ted talk mode?
well that hurt , alot. Great will do them everyday.
Wow this is great thank you!!!
👍🏻
Can't wait to see this video! Edit: I watched it. Gonna have to try it sometime.
cool
Great video amico
grazie
that drumstick looks like a giant cigar

Well, I'd need to see this, i'm sure it's way different to my stuff.

Drum with me If you want to live
ahah
😂
Grande Riky orgoglio italiano
Lol😂
This method has my forearms looking like Popeye the sailor man 😂 On a serious note my single are a ton faster and endurance has improved.
exactly
Bro you try Single stroke 250- 300BPM
how many times a day/week should I do this??
All of the time. You can do it on your legs, in the car, on your bike…that’s the brilliance of it
Sei un Grande
grazie
Thank you very much. The salty tears of the cry fries and waaa burgers taste so good. Keep up the great work.
18:31 Is that your coffee maker? I think I have the same one lol.
Правда в том что скорость это генетика, у каждого свой лимит. Но это не значит что нужно сидеть на месте. Занимайся, но дай себе понимание.
What about traditional grip? Can this apply somehow?
Yes of course! There’s everything in the full course
I need full course now
@@TheDroc1990 you can get it at the link in the description
Great stuff I mean it’s ur own technique and it’s inspiring to us the drummers that especially today drive for speed
Aaaahh the ol supersonic singles at 70 bpm....

He sample replaces and grids his gravity blasts, it's not you, I promise
how fast are your triple strokes bro you could definitely be an insane uptempo jazz player
right

Proud to be the 666th like. Ha! Brilliant video.
The real secret is not having spinal stenosis & deteriorated discs like I do.
that's another story
the technique is called hiring an audio engineer with no ethics.
Careful, he might block you for telling the truth like he did me on instagram
@@tinytortuga69 ya he blocked me about 4 seconds after I told him to stop being a dweeb on IG
Se arden mucho 🗿
Your technique is called bullying and harassment.
1st!
Thx
