Derek Roddy - Double Bass Lesson, How to Play Fast on Drums, Speed, and Blast Beats' drum lesson

[@juusoleino6631]

This really is the best drum lesson ever!! hands down!! what a great guy!

[@m2p2b]

It's weird and awesome to hear from one of the fastest double pedal drummers of the world, that speed isn't the most important

[@doles2222]

I met him in Poland, during his clinics in Opole in 2011. It was an honor to talk with him. So humble, skilled and vital guy. Most of the top drummers tell you that you have to commit yourself, you entire life to drumming with metronome and Derek Roddy is about "Play, play with other musicians and get a life".

[@ei6409]

This video reminds me of when I stuck in slump first time. it gives me original intention. When I found myself in times of trouble, this video made me clean up and back to the practice. Sometime this kind of lesson is more important than just practicing. Great mental lesson Derek.

[@jerryhall3604]

BRILLIANT!!! Absolutely freakin' brilliant! I don't even know who Derek Roddy is but I'm about to find out a whooooole lot more about him. I've seen a lot of stuff on KZbin but this was the best 10 minutes I've spent on here ever. Great advice, great tips and it's obviously coming from a guy that's been down "that road" before. Thanks tons Derek.

[@ZetroDrummer]

My advice, know your limit USING the metronome, keep the control for 10 min on that bpm speed, raise the speed gradually (2 or 3 mpms a day) and after time you'll be flying without even notice it...

[@drewjacobsracing]

I think he means to use a metronome but don't focus on what the bpm is, just a tempo that's 'comfortable'

[@flortecjh]

so your unaccomplished arrogant advice is better than an accomplished humble mans advice?..an i understanding this correctly?

[@ZetroDrummer]

James Hernandez I never said he is wrong and I am right. And my advice is based on the theories of Hannes Grossmann, George Kollias and many other great and also humble drummers the have succeed in the extreme metal scene. Thanks for your so constructive comment.

[@drewjacobsracing]

we're all saying the same thing. Some may need an increase of 1 or 2 while others can increase by more. Increments of 5 or 10 works for me but doesn't work for my band's drummer. Find the core & tweak it to suit you

[@thrashmetaL1968]

the "Man" speaks the truth. thats why he's one of the best.

[@DJC955]

The part about know everyone's body language on stage is pure gold. I've played with some great musicians who have technique for days, but just don't quite get it, no matter what instrument, they can play all the right notes and have the most perfect timing, but there's certain things they just don't get no matter how long they've been playing. I may not have the best technique on all the different instruments I play, but I can make my part blend with the whole group better than most, for simple know every musicians characteristics and body language.

[@larrytate1657]

Play a gig and say I'm gonna play this one lefty, lol. That's when you know your a pro undoubtedly.

[@tusharsairam6166]

Larry Tate Soo fucking alpha

[@perosa99]

It is great to witness a musician articulate with the instrument. I believe it often comes from a deep understanding of the instrument but also from straight clarity of thoughts and approach. That was great and came from one of the very best IMO.

[@TeslaNick2]

That's why Roddy's up with the best in the world...

[@multipleerrors3037]

great advice. an extremely helpful video.

[@ricklieffering]

This is exactly why I think you're one of the greatest (metal)drummers out there. You're keeping it real and saying it like it is! With every lessonvid I see from you, I can relate to what you're saying, because I experience drumming exactly how you're describing it. Thanks for the great motivation!!

[@MrSkikongen]

Tusen takk Derek Roddy!Thank you!This is the answer ive been looking for over some time.Its the ultimate solution!You should get an award or something for that speach!Awesome! Takk igjen!Greetings from Norway!

[@fabiofsumi]

[@SiddharthDehl]

Thanks Derek... Have been using stick control for some time now.. going to put my feet through it as well.

[@benjia879]

[@thonaw]

I agree! This speach has to be a duty in every drumschool! Incretible how fast you can advance your drum-play just becouse of this interview. Thanx, and greetz from Germany! :)

[@TheSortilege]

“I’m not where I want to be as a player.” This dude is so humble.

[@sharksdelight]

You make a lot of sense and I can really relate to what you're saying regarding practice, stamina and control. Glad I discovered this. A new fan.

[@202drummerboy]

Seems like a real nice guy down to earth. Thanks for the vid.

[@michaelalbertson8714]

[@tip36c]

So well said as always.

[@MorbidVizions]

Awesome advice bro!

[@Leo-yn5fx]

One of the first to really hone the style of this type of drumming before kollias even became known.

[@DePadreAHijo]

The best lesson i've ever had. Thank you so much Derek!

[@tamaghnabanerjee]

Amazing words of wisdom

[@skinkpaj]

Derek Roddy is awesome, so true opinions! He's a great guy.

[@schecter5strg]

Sup Derek, really enjoyed you playing for us as a kid at Star Music downtown Columbia SC... When are you coming back through Cola?

[@satricon]

that was incredible! so smart and experianced!

[@DrumHouseProject]

Derek is really honest and that makes him even more a great man as well as a great musician! Glad you've liked it! J.

[@diamondkyle812]

Derek you are the best, man! Lol come to the State of Alaska sometime

[@DrumHouseProject]

@678Drummer thanks for watching! ;)

[@madboots25]

Dude, this is exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you for the video!! :D

[@DrumHouseProject]

+Georg Alver We're glad you liked the video! :)

[@PROTEUS_SEER-OF-EONS]

Stick Control, excercises 1-24 every day at VERY SLOW bpm (75-100) for 6 months. You won't believe the carryover to high speed blast beats. It takes slow deliberate strokes to drill the motor pattern into your brain, and time to internalize it.

[@WiredDrummer]

I will definitely try that!

[@DrumHouseProject]

+newboldspawn But you still have to use your wrist and ankles right? If not we'll train legs and arms at slow speed and then when we'll speed up we won't have the control of our wrist and ankles, am I wrong?

[@zosterinski]

great vid, thanks!

[@flortecjh]

Great Advice Derek

[@LuisReis_music_business]

Everything you need to know in ten minutes! Thank you Mr. Roddy!

[@ZyclonBee]

well said sir. its not about speed its about keeping the beat!!!!!!

[@RavensEyeOffroad]

well said, i am the worst about just sitting down and running through x workouts and calling it a day. I have learned just recently it is all about control. Working that left foot into patterns is great.

[@familyman10241]

Hi derrick liked your video i remember watching your video on hand and foot technique when you were on your practice pads you were saying 2 minuetes on each foot then hands for two mins does that still stand in drumming please

[@hanscarmona2917]

thanks for the video helpfull!

[@DrumHouseProject]

You're very welcome Hans! Glad you liked it

[@DrumHouseProject]

Indeed! he is a true master! A.

[@DrumHouseProject]

@BiDrummer thanks for watching! ;)

[@felixdorn21]

Great Tipps! Thx

[@VeniVidiVicous]

I assume he's talking about "Stick control for the snare drummer"?

[@djabthrash]

yes

[@DrumHouseProject]

we appreciate it very much! J.

[@plague7048]

The "transition tell" is a great piece of advice for begginers.

[@202drummerboy]

no,thank you for making good project ,guys. wish u big sucses!

[@DrumHouseProject]

Derek is an amazing guy other then an amazing drummer! Thanx for watching J.

[@firemenstation18]

awesome thank u

[@samhomestrand2240]

At first i thought he was just another drumming beast but it really turns out that Derek is a drumming jesus. That's class.

[@plustric]

great guy !

[@jjthemasterofrealmsandothe9730]

yeah, i agree :) in my opinion, a good example of this is Jonas Johansson from Slice The Cake. although his groove parts aren't exactly Jazz per-se, he combines speed with groove in like 70% of their songs. but i think the best part about Jonas and Derek is that they know when NOT to play and let the music climax. Aaron also doesn't do that a lot. but, nevertheless, they're all incredible drummers. they just have different styles. just because they dont play a certain way, doesnt mean they cant.

[@DrumHouseProject]

yeah! great drummer and person :)

[@ShredMentor]

Agreed! But therein lies the one main obstacle - making yourself do what you don't want to do. (Or, finding a way to make it fun....which I'm developing on my guitar teaching site right now)

[@DrumHouseProject]

@firemenstation18 thanks to you! keep following us :)

[@RusDrumChannel]

GREAT!!

[@StephenWMusic]

What I do for practicing is just keep a practice pad in front of the tv with a pair of drumsticks, and practice whenever I watch tv. Works pretty well for me

[@l1nk987]

Do what you do to your hands with your feet, rudiments; stick control; different notes like 16th note triplets; different lead; you'll be amazed at the results within a few months

[@HeavyDude3000]

I love this guy :)

[@djabthrash]

Words of wisdom

[@MrAnchell]

He seems such a nice guy!

[@danielroik7574]

I do Agree, im not good at blast heavy metal Beats, and yes I am a drummer, But I like what Derek Roddy is saying he is Awesome.

[@danielroik7574]

And he is Very Right, in what he is saying, is very true.

[@DrumHouseProject]

indeed! subscribe to support us! :)

[@DrumHouseProject]

@ricklieffering thanks for watching! subscribe to support us! ;)

[@thenortherndrummer969]

I actually just put up a lesson video on how to increase foot speed and its just using basic rudiments but with a twist! will also work your control and build your backbeat

[@forrisonjard8986]

[@falconm59]

This guy is a Sensei!

[@maximomartinez6843]

[@tatoblast2472]

2:20 Outside the store...... George Kollias, Darek ¨Daray¨, Mike Smith, Gene Hoglan......

[@luisfernando-mm3jt]

[@nevernude89]

I have to say, this is an excellent help video. Derek is a fucking gun and a half.

[@Domanat0r]

thanks

[@CODYHARDER]

haha was thinking the same thing..... thanks for clearing that up.... and thanks for all the "leasons/tutorials" they help out a lot :-)@DrumBrotherProject

[@flosscal1]

Derek is not just an incredible drummer, and guitar player..he is a down to earth, snake lovin, soul..I worked with him at Mars Music..\m/

[@plague7048]

Did Hate Eternal fire him? Or did he just leave?

[@DrumHouseProject]

agree with you! :) A.

[@DrumHouseProject]

@mrlurp thanks bro!!

[@superjules]

last bit is amazing

[@MartinPerez-yv4fu]

I think feel is the most important

[@Ringlen]

It's amazing how much he can teach without ever even hitting a drum

[@DrumHouseProject]

@lorenzoreinadrum thanks :D

[@danielroik7574]

what I need help on, is learning how to read music, I can't read by notes, I only play by ear, and that's bad, I have been told, Is it true.

[@Cr4nium13]

I have the book Stick Control :)

[@Akiachrounoumena]

what a cool dude.

[@fabrizio72161]

grandi talenti.

[@ariobimopradianto]

A really greay advice

[@emqudrummer]

can somebody write that guid said to make an article :D

[@TheDrumminMan08]

Derek is the man and definitely has a lot of good ideas... I gotta say I totally disagree on his philosophy on "not practicing" though. You should both practice AND play as much as possible, especially as far as metal goes.
