Started playing when I was 10 and was self taught. Never bothered to learn the rudiments. Now 17 years later it’s a real pain in the ass learning rudiments, so much so that I wanna just give up trying lol.

But then it become easier and you have fun playing!

[@tootallforbaseball]

Tyler if you are ever going to be a great player, you MUST learn rudiments. Not all of them really apply to drum set, though, but you really need to be good at double strokes, single strokes, paradiddles, and some flams. You may not need to get in to the flam drags or some of the more advanced flam rudiments, but you really need to get good at the basic rudiments. Learning these on your own in nearly all cases results in bad habits. I would suggest getting a good teacher, in person, to work with you. Good luck. I do have some videos on learning the double stroke roll that you might find helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2GnhKFpi8p9fZI and kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXrSd5qMls2LeqM

Thank you so much for the great lesson!

Definitely a different tactile experience and a challenge, but I'm glad there's people like you here to help!

I am 40 and starting to learn now. This video is awesome. Going to try

[@BeardedLad89]

@@duhquadman Bad technique? Explain yourself please.

[@duhquadman]

@@BeardedLad89 pay me, haha. To be quick about it, he is very sloppy. Bad wrist/arm positioning, barely holding onto the sticks, fingers are "flying", his second note of each diddle is way softer than the first note. He is "dropping" the notes, as opposed to "placing" the notes. Meaning, he is not playing clean 16tg notes. If he was playing to a metronome with 16th note subdivions, you would hear how bad it is.

[@BeardedLad89]

@@duhquadman Thanks for The answer first of all! I know what you mean. That's the oppossite way I was taught xD.

You're quite a good teacher! Thanks.

[@sharonducci7089]

Excellent teacher you’re teaching as if you were learning at all over yourself and that’s exactly what we need

[@benhernandez3853]

Good luck to everyone learning double strokes for marching snare, after all it is one of the most common rudiments in snare music. In the beginning it was hard to get my double strokes even, but it just takes time to practice it.

[@lantzskidmore9386]

4:19 very glad us pianists aren’t alone here, big mood

[@bigbossdeleon]

I’ve been trying to figure out for days why my strokes aren’t sounding like strokes. Then I came here and you mentioned something about the sticks not touching the palm lol. Now I feel like a whole new gate of knowledge has just opened up to me.

[@jordanshumaker4412]

You know, of all things, juggling has helped my discipline when learning this stuff. Juggling three balls starts with just throwing one ball up and down for 5-15 minutes or until you feel comfortable and then going to your other hand. Then you add in the second ball and just go throw, throw, to opposite hands, and then eventually you add the third ball in and I feel like that has helped me as I start my practice pad work this week. Not just on rhythm of catches and throws, hand-eye coordination, but on learning that you should spend time dedicated to each rudiment every day and start slow just as you showed at the start of this. After a month of about 30 minutes every other day I can three ball juggle until the cows come home, this is foundation and has already helped me as I start juggling two balls with one hand in prep for four ball juggling. Why did I mention this here? Because I feel like we always forget the stepping stones and how much time we should dedicate to them like rudiments in drumming. Not only do we become better for doing it, we see improvement faster than anyone not doing them, and we learn a real love and appreciate for the dedication which will inspire us to keep going. This was really cool, sorry for the off topic juggling example but I feel it plays into any lesson. Practice, practice, practice, and it makes learning how to do it for real quicker, easier, and more fun.

[@grlkemistry987]

Best explination on this I've heard so far! Thanx

[@drumdex]

Thanks! And thank you for watching!

[@willard398]

I totally agree. Finding your Fulcrum or pinch point makes the the sticks much faster with a loose grip.

[@justinf1343]

As a beginner who is trying to learn finger technique for doubles this is the best and most well explained tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to publish!

[@tootallforbaseball]

You don't use finger technique with double stroke rolls. That just creates more problems, and should only be used to get you from a point where you play "to" the drum to a point where you play "through" the drum. I demonstrate this here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2GnhKFpi8p9fZI

[@kaim.8462]

@@tootallforbaseball don't know what you mean. 1st stroke from the wrist, 2nd from the fingers works fine, doesn't it? as you do in the video, 2nd stroke from the fingers? greets

[@tootallforbaseball]

Kai M. No, a double stroke roll uses BOUNCE strokes, not finger strokes at all. The fingers just stay on the stick, but you play through the drum. Watch my video. I explain that in depth, and I demonstrate it.

[@kaim.8462]

@@tootallforbaseball Yes, i already watched ;) and i know what you mean. But your first comment does not make sense to me. You also use your fingers for the 2nd stroke in the video (28.24 for example). In my oppinion it's nothing else like DEX STAR DRUMMER described in his video. But maybe it's because of my bad english

[@tootallforbaseball]

Kai M. You do not use one stroke with wrist and the second with the fingers AT ALL. I do not use finger control and did not demonstrate that with the exception of the shuffle beat. A shuffle beat is not a bounce. You may have to use fingers on a floor tom only because the rebound is poor. This guy is just wasting motion and won’t get even doubles by using fingers. You only use wrist and bounce with a double stroke roll. There is no need to snap your fingers to get even strokes. You have to break your wrist a little more to get the two strokes even. All good players use ONLY wrist for an even double stroke roll. Dex Star will not be able to play an even roll the way he is playing, period.

[@nsalerno91]

For everyone watching this as new to Doubles as I am. I noticed that practicing with the pad is absolutely necessary, I feel that you will get a better understanding of the diddle technique if you try it softly on your snare. Tighten the head, and listen to how the snare picks up the roll naturally. If you are experience with singles, you will already have proper enough hand control to at least control the subtle bounces (diddle), so you will be able to hear it, or see it. You will not be able to go louder yet, that’s where the experience and difficulty comes it to play. But with a snare rattle ... if you just want to get a preview of what it should sound like .. try the diddle technique on the snare. Then practice those hand controls on the pad. This was positive reinforcement for me.
