The internet definitely needs more good drum video instructions. There is so many jokers who've been hitting drums for a year or two who now give drum lessons. This channel is dope.
Wow I have never really thought about doubles in this way! If you didn't say it's doubles I would assume you are playing paradidles. It flows very well but it's kind of mind bending. Thank you Steve you are so creative and unconventional. That's why I love your channel.
Good to see you still online, Steve. I remember the first videos I saw from you ten years ago from house of drumming. It was before youtube was big and I was regularly checking the drummer's section on musiciansforums. I just had to think of you and was curious if you were still active on the net. And here you are. Keep on drumming and vlogging.
Excellent communicator. You stay on target, do not get full of improv shenanigans, and remain perspicuous (yeah I used that word). Your pedagogy is solid...which is the intended goal right? The only thing I would add is 1) [this is a phrasing video, but...] Offer teaching on the double-stroke or references to get a better grasp (I wanted to know more of how you developed your facility when watching). 2) A summary statement...in this video I covered...and then illustrate adding a positive statement that is personal, "I really love using this..."
Man, that intro was freakin' awesome! Thanks for the very practical tutorial and yes, I don't practice this hardly at all because doubles are really awkward to play on toms, snare is fine.
@@SteveHolmesDrums I should like to see a tutorial about the moeller left-hand technique. Your one is a little different from the one of Buddy Rich.. I prefer your technique!
Sweet. Reminds me of junior drum corps. I’d forgotten how good those sound when polished up. Your speed is enviable and that advice about movement from drum to drum could not be more important. It’s that task that has me looking for the hardware where I can keep my toms close and level as well - for easier lateral movement. Still lookng..
I'm proud to say that I've learned enough about mic placement and recording to be embarrassed with that mic placement in this video. Sorry recording engineers! I know better now!
Thank you for this video. I’ve been doing 5 stroke rolls for a while, but these are helping me to understand exactly what I’m doing when displacing the accents and it’s helping me find new ways to apply them. Interestingly though, I actually watched the last 20 seconds at the end where you’re applying the fill to different grooves like 15 times. I never really learned how to play cool jazz grooves like that. You’re so damn good at them! Really cool how you use broken crappy cymbals sometimes too. Lol.
Steve Holmes yeah the faster groove at the 10 minute mark is very interest. I guess it’s more of a big band type feel. I would find that very useful if I could get good at it.
Thomas Surdi I’m still working on this and will be for some time.. the thing for me is as you mentioned, different feels.. my mind starts to confuse itself with how rudiments/groupings can be played in so many different ways, sub divisions..
Is it just me or does he remind anybody of Dave Weckl? (with a hint of Vinnie Colaiuta, in the way that he holds his hands with very good support/posture -- the way Colaiuta does). I gotta find something that will help me get technique like that.
Does anybody know of any videos/DVDs that will help develop a traditional technique like his? I already have Jojo Mayers DVD, but I was wondering if there were any others? If you're still there Steve Holmes -- Thank you SO MUCH for your videos, and I would love to know if you have any recommendations for developing a technique as great as yours; i.e. Videos/DVDs/etc.? Either way - Thanks again.
Loving your vids, new to drumming (old to music). Quick question, thanks in advance, does the tightness of the snare head matter when doing these or not much? I can't get these going at all, could it be my snare is not tight enough? Or does that not matter at all? Thanks!
Hi Steve - great content here.. I've been working on expanding my triplets vocabulary for some time. Can this phrasing be successfully used within or as 16th note triplets? Not diddling the accent of course. Turning them into 5 stroke rolls and the like.. A brief reply woul be so helpful, thanks..
Technically no because 16th trips = 6 strokes per quarter and using the 5 stroke roll it's only 5 but you still get that flow. For all intents and purposes it sounds the same but it's important to know the difference if you're doing it.
The double strokes 'merge in to one' because the hand action starts changing with the speed. The elbows are still moving more or less the same but the hands are taking over.
Charly Antolini has a double stroke roll that sounds like single. I don't mean similar. I mean exactly. You can not tell it's double. You'd swear it's single until you see him playing. When I first saw it, it freaked me out. I didn't know it could actually be done. We talk about it, and work towards it. Charly can actually do it.
Uhh rudiments are the building block! Drumming is mastering singles, doubles and flams! The accented single and everything else doubled is one if Buddy,s secret weapon! Sounds alot harder than it is! The only thing Buddy had over everyone else is his push pull in his left hand!
stan burdick I said the exact same thing lol. In a good way though. It's not like he's a Weckl-Clone. You can just hear his influence. This guy is fukin sick. Great feel and technique.
One of the best drummers on youtube. supremely under rated
You're an excellent drummer and teacher. Thank you.

Anyone else want to just hang out and drink beer with this guy?
Put it on 50% playback, it feels just like it🎉😂

It was before youtube was big and I was regularly checking the drummer's section on musiciansforums. I just had to think of you and was curious if you were still active on the net. And here you are.
Keep on drumming and vlogging.
Thanks man!
Your enunciation of the phrase makes it so much easier understand.
Very nice and clear Steve 👍
You're a legend Steve, and an amazing teacher too! Really love your vibe 😊
Your videos are great, as is your playing. I hope you keep on doing these.
Holmes is in the house !! Excellent!!
You are the man, Steve. Thank you so much for these videos - its amazing how much youve opened up my mindset, playing.
Thanks for checking out the videos Brett.
The drumming in the Altered Live show is just amazing work. Fantastic!
steve you are a good drummer and musician, i give you a compliment, also the way how you explain, very clear, very very good
Hey Steve! just wanted to thank you for all your work putting together your videos. Its improved my drumming tremendously! Thank YOU!!
ugh....wow.....very straight forward and clear...i definitely need to practice more
Yeah, I've been playing for years and I've seen quite a few videos but THIS GUY, he definitely makes me feel like I need WAY MORE PRACTICE...lol! 😯🥁💥
So much to think about and work on in just this one lesson, greatly appreciated Steve, thanks.

Very nice snare sound.

Thank you!
Legendary content! So glad I found this channel.
Hahaha !! Well done Steve !!
Good teacher and good sense of humour as well !! ;-)
Man, that intro was freakin' awesome! Thanks for the very practical tutorial and yes, I don't practice this hardly at all because doubles are really awkward to play on toms, snare is fine.
I know this is an old post but I want to thank you for helping me with the double stroke.
You're welcome - how's it coming?
@@SteveHolmesDrums its getting better as I speed up. More even and fluid. Thanks again!
Appreciate your videos. Good topics...well explained...clean playing...great mix/tuning on the kit
There are 2 drummer in tre world that I love: Dave Weckl and YOU. Top in tre world. Thanks for all, Steve!
Thanks Giorgio!
@@SteveHolmesDrums you are welcome Steve. Every tutorial of you is precious for us. I will learn a lot by them. Thank you very much.
@@SteveHolmesDrums I should like to see a tutorial about the moeller left-hand technique. Your one is a little different from the one of Buddy Rich.. I prefer your technique!
I love the lessons Steve.
Fantastic stuff Steve, thank you and I LOVE the sound of your snare :)
Great instructional video! Practicing it now. You got my subscription. Thx

If someone is complaining about the sound, they are missing the gold buried throughout this video.
Awesome, man! I love your stuff!

Steve could you please make a video on how to practice traditional grip
Thank you for this video. I’ve been doing 5 stroke rolls for a while, but these are helping me to understand exactly what I’m doing when displacing the accents and it’s helping me find new ways to apply them.

Thanks Thomas. I've been thinking of doing a video on jazz drumming - seems like like a topic folks might be interested in.
Steve Holmes yeah the faster groove at the 10 minute mark is very interest. I guess it’s more of a big band type feel. I would find that very useful if I could get good at it.

Steve your an amazing player and teacher.love the sound of that snare .what is it .cheers mate .
Good stuff for sure
Love the effects! 😂
Excelente!!!
Awesome! Love your videos!
Your doubles are so sweet!
thanks!! you are awesome respect!
Great lesson and I'd have loved the PDF but it's not working. Any chance you could fix that, please?
Watch t hundreds of video, Now i find this. Good Lord....Assuming one has a solid basic a understanding of stick control, this is amongst the best .
I dig this! Thanks Steve, hope you’re doing fine’
Hello! Could you please upload the PDF transcriptions again? The link does not work.. Thank you!!
OMG... this is the SECRET SAUCE so jazz drum solos...
Is it just me or does he remind anybody of Dave Weckl?
(with a hint of Vinnie Colaiuta, in the way that he holds his hands with very good support/posture -- the way Colaiuta does). I gotta find something that will help me get technique like that.

The tightness of the head will affect the sound but not have any real effect on one's ability to do the roll.
@@SteveHolmesDrums Thank you!
Ok this was great
Thanx!
WOW!
Steve you can record it without mics and it would still be a great, informational and valuable lesson to all drummer's, thanks

Steve is my secret weapon.
Is that a giant hi hat, or just the camera angle?

wow wow wow
Yeah. Great.
Haha "The POWER of DOUBLE STROKE ROLLS!" :-D
Tops
better be careful your starting to sound like Dave W.
stan burdick I said the exact same thing lol. In a good way though. It's not like he's a Weckl-Clone. You can just hear his influence.
This guy is fukin sick. Great feel and technique.
One way to achieve rolling triplets.. is to play a continuous 11 stroke roll
I need to use my arms a little more like you, I’m all wrist and fingers!
That is the strangest mic placement I’ve ever seen.
Thank you for not demonstrating on a practise pad Steve!
doubles or nothing
