​@@driftmouse_official fast doesn't mean better, lots of people playing fast while sounding like absolute shit. I'll take slow and consistently on time all day

[@Felix-ej8hr]

Fr I need to know how to play that

[@mono9578]

Yoooo Im self taught, mostly learning from watching other drummers on platforms like KZbin, but I really didn't know how helpful this technique would be.

[@midinerd]

It's a 2-stroke moeller technique. Look up Moeller technique

[@michaelinglis567]

I was gonna say its Moeller but someone already did. You arent a drummer until you have a good moeller stroke/understanding.

[@3toCoco]

Aye I was self taught for a long time but I just gotta put out there it’s only best until you get comfortable on your instrument and then you should get some kind of instruction. For me it was marching quads and it just opened my eyes to techniques I’d never even heard of and got me over plateaus of speed, creativity, and motivation. I respect the hell out of being self taught but everyone needs a mentor at some point. Keep on going man, you’re killing it

[@ericcaires6423]

Well that's your problem this technique is very important it sounds like you need to actually do some homework and learn the fundamentals and not just copy what you see on a KZbin video lol so that way you have all the knowledge you create your own drum patterns and create your own sound I been a drummer for 42 years now hi hats is very important cause the hi hats is what keep tempo and patterns in tune

[@AaronC426]

I’m self taught 8yrs now and never take a lesson and I’m fast asf boi, it works

I KNOW RIGHT

[@joshuasharmonica9495]

I like the tuning on the drums

[@turdferguson353]

playing like that makes the sound more dynamic too

Finally someone who simplified fast 16 note single hand hi hats thank you 😊

Dry and crispy! That’s how I like my Snares.

Can't wait to get it! Gona practice 3 days next week. Hope I get that last groove after a few hours a day, by day 3. 😬

Overlooked and under rated. Thank you

[@alexskarv.5246]

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE!!!!

[@K.J.734]

That can also help hand/wrist & finger control to help in developing a good feel for dynamics on the hi-hat. Thanks. 🤟

[@HardBloodNelza]

I always pride myself just a little bit about how I play specifically catered towards speed, and therefore over time of practicing I'm faster than most drummers, but when it really comes down to it... any jazz drummer would kick my ass in a competition.

[@arefkooroshi]

Thank you man I appreciate it❤️

[@djsroberts]

Your hi hat tip is diamond. Thank you

[@ididrum]

very creative way to explain Moeller to students. I will try this. Thanks!

[@brettclurdrums]

Yeah man! Evening mentioning the word "Moeller" would instantly make my younger students lose interest. Always worked like a charm when explaining it this way.

[@swagnusmcduck7566]

It’s the moeller technique. When doing this, you alternate between playing with your wrist and with your arm, which is of course much more efficient than having either wrist or arm do all the work.

[@ColinBurkeMusic]

It's weird I taught myself drums over the last 15 years- and I managed to figure out like 95% of good technique by myself. I'm not perfect but it's amazing just what sheer time and dedication can do for ya!

[@kanishkanicholas180]

The final beat is sick..❤️❤️

[@imoneofthebestever]

snare sound amazing fr

[@tuonglukim8973]

Moeller is menacingly wringing his hands in the corner of the recording booth.....

[@brettclurdrums]

Haha it’s the Moeller technique here for sure. It just chases a lot of people away when they hear specific words, so I just broke it down in simple terms to get more reach for the video. (Which I’d just do for a short, and never and actual lesson)

[@tuonglukim8973]

@@brettclurdrums Hehehe yeah I know, I teach guitar and bass.... mentioning modes like Dorian or Phrygian always scares them. Then I just say "The major scale but start on the second or third note of the scale" Same principle.

[@joetroutt7425]

Been trying the Moeller technique for doubles and it is insanely hard. I can't seem to get speed past 150bpm

I'm so going to add this into my drum programming

[@RobertsonAhiabli]

The snare though 🎉

I always use this trick and I love it

thanks so much! i needed this lol

[@sienared1998]

TJIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE ive been trying to up my hi hat speed for months and I figured it was more about chops but its all in the arm as usual

[@Johnny.43]

AMAZING!!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!

Ein guter Tipp für Anfänger 😀👍👍👍🥁

[@aku_mado]

for some reason, this is so satisfying

[@Isang_]

Daaangggg, thank you bro thats why im so slow when i play the hi-hat😅, thanks again dude keep it up😊

[@SoulFaeWorld]

Awesome tips 🥁

[@josephtoritseju4750]

Guy ur snare is so good

[@ma4nn305]

I was lucky enough to go to a masterclass done by dom famularo who studied with the student of moller the man who developed this teqnique. I use this constantly and it is definetly one of the corner stones of drumming.

[@humblenoob7631]

Called the Moeller technique, not just on the hi hat but to improve single stroke hand speed in general

[@patrickseanmclain2357]

Yo that little bit right there was dope he did it right he gave you a quick demonstration but subliminally he made sure the hi-hats sound crispy clean and he gave you space to hear the high hats Krispy clean then he banged out a quick pocket groove slow and then sped up and cut it short and that was it 👊🧐🥁✨✨✨💾✨💙✨🧢🗽

[@thatonezeldaguy250]

Me and my son started playing drums so I been diving into all these drumming shorts

[@brettclurdrums]

Awesome! Shorts are great to get inspiration from, but 30 - 60 seconds is very hard to learn from. I'd suggest diving into a few elaborate lessons to help you guys. Have you seen Drumeo? They have some awesome lessons on their KZbin channel, but the Drumeo Edge program is where you'll get the most. Here's a link to a 30-day free trial if you and your son are interested :) drumeo.pxf.io/c/3596229/1268414/14652

[@mhm6]

[@mathieurichard]

Nice snare !

[@zenn2794]

Thank you for this tip, I will definitely practice this. That's why my high-hats sound so boring, I didn't know this lol

[@ehill1536]

Defeating learning curve if you play an e-kit. It's either closed/mid closed/or open. If you SLAP the edge, it's just a closed hit but louder. 🙃 Damn I miss my acoustic set up.

[@yucatansuckaman5726]

Thank you buddy

[@jamesiwsdugarjr.4194]

Alright I’m going to try that 👍

I need to learn this!

[@Onefootbare82]

boom the groove....

[@danifebrian4510]

Great tip bro

[@ccdrummer]

It’s called the ‘Moeller stroke’ and you can use it on drums as well 👍

[@johannesschmitz6370]

indeed. it's more about the arm movement than the stick positioning people should focus on

[@mohddalibinzali1165]

​@@johannesschmitz6370how can i get to play like james gadson? Is him use arm too? I quite confius to choose which what i have to use😩😭

[@AFRoSHEENT3ARCMICHAEL69]

​​@@mohddalibinzali1165 No. It's all in the wrist and fingers. Only use arms to switch positions around the other instruments of the drums.

[@artpena72]

that's what they call it but anatomically it is natural movement, nothing to do with moeller

[@ccdrummer]

@@artpena72 correct, that is how naming things works.

[@prabhath4979]

Kick drum sounds very gudddd. .

[@jack8580]

Even better..... Instead of hitting the middle and edge of the symbol, create a little pendulum on your index finger where the stick rests and bounce the stick up and down on that. Each time the stick bounces up, catch it and bring it back down for another hit and....repeat.

[@frankiefallzonie1203]

Oooo nice I’m gonna do this right now

[@soreay621]

Only problem is that it creates a different sound. Works good to do when you want to accent or change up a sound, or that's just the groove in general, but most groves will sound better if it is the same sound of hi-hat. Still a good speed/stamina builder, just don't get too attached to this method.

[@moram0ur]

oh i think this technique is also using on double-kick, when you move your feet a bit closer at first and then on the right place at the second.

[@footsoljier6468]

Also called just play and figure it out, you’ll get it eventually

[@karenkalasy8251]

You make it look so easy😮😮wish I could play. I am 51😮

[@FraserDrums]

snare sound making me feel things frr

[@KM-px8cs]

For some reason my muscles do jot work that way, it's actually easier for me to play the same type of stroke with each hit. I just focus on staying lose, using any bit of rebound available and finger muscles in conjunction with my wrists.

[@alejandrosanmartin4462]

Thanks bro 🫂❤️

Thnxxx dog 🙏🤘😎

[@minoritiy5967]

[@calebdean6997]

Slowly learned figured this out on my own. Self drummer of 7 years. Good tutorial, but I would've also mentioned it's a lot in the flick of the wrist to get it going faster

[@drummerjoey]

That technique is called shank tipping. 😁

[@tochuksglobalpromise-3487]

That's I love ♥️ this

[@ianjonas7380]

Adding Sandford Moeller to the conversation. Seriously though, you get a much crisper sound playing all of your notes on the top surface of the hihat. Just replace your edge note with a note played using the shoulder of the stick on the hihat surface.

[@pulsar-_-4504]

i always see this but never see anyone slow it down lol

[@mohddalibinzali1165]

I think they're wont we to know how actualy they did, and thats why they play fast just to show off

[@elfozavrik9235]

it's not slow one. it's not good explanation. wrong seperated parts

[@ski_free_exe]

cause its not even what hes doing sped up... look at it

[@eggroll1548]

you need to practice it very slowly, its almost as if you gotta let your wrist go floppy. took me so long to master it even with my amazing drum teacher, i cant even explain it very well. good luck

[@normalperson1105]

I call it the shuffle

[@mikekolb3912]

Great stuff, anything to improve hi-hat techniques

[@benjamin.kelley]

Correctly explained - Use the rebound bounce of the stick from the stick tip on the down stroke to create the second downstroke with minimal effort.

[@jackorourke1684]

I feel like this video does more harm than good by not explaining more things in detail.
