Good video. One thing which I think would help viewers is to simply put the exercise on the screen and immediately demonstrate it. That way, that will save you time from having to explain it. Most viewers will be able to figure it out and can replay that portion if they missed something.
Great information, Gabe. Keep the great information coming! I loved listening to your drumming when you were in Sauce and my band, Brass Fly, opened for you way back in the day
Billy Cobham and Tony Williams were insanely fast back in the day. Since then the bar has been getting higher and higher. I don't really need to get to Riccardo Merlini-type speed, but any improvement helps.
Perhaps not the fastest hands, but there’s a video of Dennis Chambers doing crossover septuplets with quarter note at 150 BPM. The fact that he moves his hands and arms all over the kit very clean at that speed is quite impressive!!!
I haven't addressed that topic on TH-cam in a while. I have a whole and much better filmed course on it on DtumTipTuesday.com the trailer for that is here: www.drumtiptuesday.com/reading-coordination/videos/reading-coordination-trailer I do have one embarrassingly old video on YT that does talk about it though. th-cam.com/video/pjIE13CqwaE/w-d-xo.html.
On drum set I use a 5B but in this video, and usually for drum pad work I am using a drum line sized stick, currently the Vic Firth (I think they're called) "M-Dawgs"
It's actually very subjective. For instance, if we're talking about snare drum hands, for a drum set player mine are pretty fast. However, most drummers who do the whole linear thing much faster than me at that particular skill set. For a bench mark, as a new drummer, if you can perform that sextuplet exercise in this video at 120 BPM you're doing good.
easy answer: the student level is when you try to reach a number at the metronome. Professional is when you can play any tempo that a song commands. And the highest level of mastery is when you can impress all the other drummers. 😉

Omg I thought you were holding jumbo knitting sticks for a sec 😂
Good lesson! Riccardo Merlini has the fastest hands I've ever seen.
I just checked out his "supersonic singles" tutorial. It was interesting. Thank you for commenting.
Great information, Gabe. Keep the great information coming! I loved listening to your drumming when you were in Sauce and my band, Brass Fly, opened for you way back in the day
I remember. Wow back in the day we used to play all those clubs. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Clutch with knowledge! Really don’t say that lightly 🥁🔥
Thank you for the positive feedback!
Great lesson , Jeff Queen is fast but most rudimental snare drummers are crazy fast .
Queen is amazing. I really enjoyed being there when he and Nick were in the DCI snare drum competition
Great technique. I downstroke like that.
Thank you sir, I appreciate it.

For sure, and it always impresses me just how hard Cobham was hitting in addition to being that fast. All those guys are beasts, no doubt
Absolutely love your videos, as a drummer I love learning how to get better at drumming.
Thank you for the encouragement. It really is the thing that keeps us going.
walk throughs I mean
I don’t know too many drummers but I do know that El Estepario Siberiano ain’t too shabby around the kit. Eric Moore can move it too
Definitely fast hands on both of those guys
Perhaps not the fastest hands, but there’s a video of Dennis Chambers doing crossover septuplets with quarter note at 150 BPM. The fact that he moves his hands and arms all over the kit very clean at that speed is quite impressive!!!
Yes indeed! Dennis Chambers name definitely belongs here.
Thanks for postin gabriel🇦🇺🥁
I'm glad you liked the video. I'll keep doing more
I’m sure if Kevin Paradis wanted the record for fastest hands, he could. There so many ripping fast guys nowadays though.
Those blast beats are super fast!
.. Tuesday's Child is full of Rudiments, 🥁😎
hi gabe you got any videos on limb separation

@@DrumTipTuesday thanks gabe
hi gabe what practice pad are you using thanks
That drum pad is made by Xymox

Are you using heavier sticks like 5B for these exercises?
On drum set I use a 5B but in this video, and usually for drum pad work I am using a drum line sized stick, currently the Vic Firth (I think they're called) "M-Dawgs"

Last I knew Mike Mangini was fastest drummer/WFD
He is definitely a fast man
Mike Mancini…
