Derrick Pope - Moeller Technique

[@gkdrummerboy]

THAN YOU, nobody in ANY of the other videos I've seen have told me I needed to let it bounce up naturally without restriction, this is better than Royster's explaination by far.

[@rgvhen]

The most amazing video explanation of the Moeller technique I've ever seen. Thank you!

[@brianmann01]

I taught myself drumming starting when I was 8 years old. That was 42 years ago. I wish so much I had someone like Derrick then. The one thing that becomes very clear after you have played in bands, its all about basics, and Derrick demonstrates this with very easy to understand techniques. He is giving you the secret to great drumming FREE. This and knowing your rudiments are a great start to becoming excellent. Great job Derrick, I bow to you.

After playing drums for 5 years without any teaching, I have learned more on 1 evening of watching these lessons and playing along on my newly bought electronic drums (Roland TD-6V). Simply amazing what finger and wrist technique does. thanks a million.

derrick, thanks for such a great video. i am learning how to play drums at 43 years young. I watch this video at least two times a week. and practice with you.

[@Lennypombouthescb]

Thank you Derrick. Best demo so far.

[@jeans72]

Wow this is great stuff! I've never seen anyone explain anything so clearly as you do. This is really going to help me with my drum technique. You've won yourself a fan! Thanx Jean

[@johnraemusic]

Derrick, where have you been all my life? Great video man, thamks...John Rae

[@mootomoo]

Excellent video! You have a great way of explaining things. I can't wait for the DVD!

[@Kevin-Woods]

Excellent video! This is better, and clearer than any other Moeller technique video I have ever heard. You explain everything incredibly clearly and in easy stage, thanks so much!

[@scooter146]

Great explanation of the Moeller stroke - thanks for posting it.

[@willV]

Love your videos. Can't wait for the DVD.

[@ReaverKS]

I just bought a drum set the other day and this has been the most helpful video I've seen out of many helpful video's here on youtube.

[@jango66]

By far the best demo I've seen wonderful thanks very much.

[@djp132]

You do bring up a good point. I'll keep that in mind in future moeller stuff I do. Even Sanford Moeller himself didn't invent the "moeller" technique, he just applied what he learned from his teachers and mentors. Many people use the term "modified moeller" to describe more of what I'm showing, and you're correct, I am no Jim Chapin.

[@judecohen6521]

Just starting to drum at 34. This is the best explanation ever! Thanks Derrick!

[@whuataaaaah]

thank you thank you thank you, best explanation ever....

[@seanmcbryde]

Great explanation! Thanks for the tips!

[@tonno6866]

u r the best moeller teacher. I learn u more than other thanks and sorry for my english

[@djp132]

Excellent point rich. The way I demonstrate is not the one and only way to do it. I prefer to use the rebound and I've found that this does not in any way inhibit dynamics. Being at the mercy of the stick is not always a bad thing. :)

[@Bren28]

Great stuff Derrick look forward to seeing that as like all your vids...

[@tklau]

Thanks for the lesson, DErrick. Nicely done

[@jeffbebe123]

all of your lessons are very well explained and detailed. this has definitely helped me. keep it up and make more videos!

[@theunnamed88]

OH MAN!!! The clearest man in the world!!! Very good explaination!!

[@ciforoso]

There's a lot of good players here on youtube, but it's really hard to see some one that teaches so nicely as you, keep on the good wotk dude!

[@PinnSinn]

great teacher with great heart

[@littlephoenix1115]

that old school backgrip moeller style is somthing i learned from a jim chapin video... its really good for when i really need to play heavy and loud and cant avoid it or your a hard hitter... saves you from arm damage cause it keeps you from clenching the front grip... just somthing i thougth evryone should know

[@bobbywasourhero]

Thanks so much, got really far with your lesson. Super teaching not just showing off....thanks again. Simply great

[@Placeman6]

Great lesson. Your a great teacher. Thanks.

[@silvertone953]

awesome, thank you so much!

[@Flaitesexy]

this guy is a god of mastering people

[@DrUmSensitive]

I hurt my left hand badly when I was 6, had to keep it immobilized for over a year, making it stiff as a rock. I couldn't figure out WHY I couldn't play the snare other than hitting it really hard from above. Even my left thumb got screwed to the left, I hit THAT hard. Music school, private lessons, videos, nothing helped. I couldn't even control the left hand double stroke for longer periods. Finally, with your video, I finally got it.

[@littlephoenix1115]

a mirror and a pad is somthing every drummer should use when doing technique exercises

[@DanielMartinez365]

thanks man!!

[@djp132]

Yeah, I'm a little different. Mr. Chapin doesn't put as much emphasis on the rebound as I do. Its a small variation on the major theme. I'm hoping to do another moeller vid soon, I'll def make the distinction a little more clear.

[@bustamove196]

thanks a lot...excellent lesson

[@nanteuil]

You make a DVD --> I buy it!!!

[@RafikMankariosDrumStudio]

Thank you for the enlightment!! Dave Weckl tried to demonstrate it...with much less success. Keep on drumming!

[@RustyShaklferd7788]

yeah great video man!

[@MaryKellyFootball]

I like the point about playing the two hands together to get accuracy...

[@sabiansplash]

I find this technique very useful and I didn't know for a long time that I've been using this technique. My only problem is how to utilize it properly in doing rolls.

[@andrevenas]

very goood

[@ratzefuj]

Is this the HQ Real Feel Pad with Snaretrigger?

[@bravemonsters7664]

I didn't understand how can i control rebound

[@dasmo]

i'm not a drummer nor nutin' but that was some cool shit. i play guitar and i felt like that's helped. moe shit from dat guy!

[@Faddrm]

five stars man!! congrants from Argentina, great job my girlfriend just get wet! :$

[@eugenekim321]

o.O

[@therealDannyVasquez]

It's cool you can do this but information like this is too good for the likes of you tubers. Good on yer anyway dude.

[@christofutofu]

Jim Chapin says its got nothing to do with rebound man, watch the video

[@Bren28]

This is not how Jim Chapin plays the moeller

[@underprog]

just get to the point... it cost me a lot of tym...

[@underprog]

helped you from what? moeller cant helped your guitar skills...

[@jeffbebe123]

all of your lessons are very well explained and detailed. this has definitely helped me. keep it up and make more videos!
