This is a brilliant teaching method! Wow. Awesome modular work of turning practice into a game!

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Haha I'm glad you got a kick out of that! It's my little experiment to see if it motivates people to practice more. Thanks man!

@@ArtOfDrummingHQ It actually does, Thank you so much!!!!

[@drewdabeast69]

This exercise has improved my doubles in such a short time that I never thought possible. Thank you so much!

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Oh man, thanks for sharing this, it's awesome to know that your doubles have improved!!!

Best double stroke roll exercise video out here!

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Wow, thanks!

[@brandonleesmith1989]

I have been working really hard on getting my weak hand up to speed. This exercise helped me immensely! Thanks so much for this.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

That's good to hear. Keep up your fighting spirit!

[@palmepalmovitsch1362]

this is brilliant. I loved the moment when I raised the first level up :)

[@EphraimPhilip-y3m]

You are wonderful teacher

[@morganfarlie]

THAT was AWESOME and a SUPER hard challenge! I only made it to stage 6 with MOST of it being clean and something I could comprehend. By level 8 I was only maintaining 8th notes and by level 9 I was LOST, STILL, that made me REALLY appreciate how much work you put in and how much FURTHER I have to go in my drum journey! Thank you so much for the excellent content and challenging workout :D

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

I started working on these double stroke exercises 6 years ago. So it's been quite a long journey for me to be able to do all that but it's totally worth it. So stage 10 will be no problem by the end of the year :) and stage 15 in 2021 probably. Keep banging these out!!

[@morganfarlie]

@@ArtOfDrummingHQ With THAT kind of encouragement, I KNOW I can do it. I'll make sure to come back and try again soon :D Thanks AOD!

[@damani1711]

Triplets and accenting 4 with different leads is super hard for me atm. Thanks for opening my mind to this.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

It took me a long while, about s year to get all the permutations down at these speeds. Glad you find it useful :) it sure gives you more stuff to play with your doubles on the kit, thanks Damani!

Holy shit dude, this is a great workout. Also... you are insanely good

Wow glad to see another person benefit 😀 have you completed all the stages?

[@pizzakiep4157]

@@ArtOfDrummingHQ currently at stage 10/ stage 11 triplets. I can go faster but then the second hits don't sound as powerfull. But ill reach stage 15 eventually, just gonna take a bit.

The way you're going, sounds like you'll get there in good time. Cheers and thanks for sharing your progress :)

Good practice

Simple yet effective!

[@tkelly830]

Not sure if you read these comments, however I just want to let you know that I recently came across your channel and am extremely grateful. These type of vids, that are playalongs at different tempos are so useful and helpful to players and students such as myself.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Yes I read all my comments. I really appreciate all that you've said. Which stage are you at right now?

[@tkelly830]

@@ArtOfDrummingHQ Well I've been playing for a few years but really have never dedicated my time to rudiments. I really want to practice my singles/ doubles this year. I'm a beginner I'd say in regards to them. That's why I love your channel, the playalongs at different tempos are truly helpful

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Fantastic exercise, showing clearly the use of the middle finger fulcrum.... Thank you 👍👍👍

I love the JRPG level ups at the end of each exercise 🤣

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Thank you for appreciating that! I love JRPGS, played a lot of them growing up!

[@paulrevelli]

This concept can also be used with the paradiddle and it's three different stickings: RLRR LRLL, RLLR LRRL, RRLR LLRL and RLRL LRLR. Great challenge to play paradiddles as triplets.

[@JulianFernandez]

good one! thanks.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Glad you liked it!

[@kennyminor506]

Great challenge. It took me the first few stages to get the sticking down, then I got to lvl 14 before I failed.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Nice one Kenny, let me know if you get higher up the levels :D

[@judsonl8990]

150 bpm had my head spinning haha. I did alright up to that point

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Hahaha it took me a couple years of training for my head to stop spinning then lol

Hey man, I just came across your Single stroke roll video & watched that and this & practiced both along with you, this is really fun & useful.....I'm gonna practice daily until i get to last stage....Thanks a lot !! Can you make a video like this for Paradiddle too, are you planning on it ? paradiddle is the most important one & having a play-along like this would be helpful.....Thanks :)

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Hey I'm taking a break from making videos for awhile. Thanks though and I'm glad these pad videos are helping you out!

[@manohardixit5866]

Okay., no problem....If you start making some content again, maybe think about making Paradiddle practice....Thank you again....🙂

[@enriquevillafane6258]

@@manohardixit5866 You can use this sequence to practice paradiddle (rlrr lrll) and inverted paradiddle (rllr lrrl) to begin with.

[@cybernoodleowww]

Wow this is great help, can I ask you where you got your practice pad and stand? I take it the stand screws in some how?

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Oh its the yamaha ts12s, you can find it on amazon I think. Both the pad and stand

[@mikal426]

How about getting into the technique for doing doubles? I often find myself trying to work on them and then feeling fatique and soreness in my hands which keeps me from pracricing :^(

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Oh some fatigue is good! That means your muscles are working out. That being said technique does help a lot. I might do some technique videos if more people show interest hmmm.

[@gaia38ant]

for now lvl10 is ok with focus

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

😁👍 Let's get it

[@rol0511]

At the 13 seconds mark, am I supposed to follow that sticking throughout the whole exercise? It looks like he's just straight doubles instead of that sticking pattern. Sorry I'm a noob at this. Nvm I get it now. 🤪

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Have a blast with this workout!

[@khgriffi]

this is tough

[@drakausdromgatti58]

I have been practicing the push/pull method for about six months now. For the life of me I cant get it above 150bpm. I'm stuck... also, it doesn't ever seem to translate into my playing.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

I think looking at the guys that use push pull, they probably trained for a few years before being able to use it effortlessly in their playing. My own practice of these doubles exercises took the span of about 4 years roughly. 2 years for the technique and timing, and then the last 2 years was working them into groove and fill in patterns, and then applying them to songs step by step. It takes time and you need a realistic long term plan like that. Hope it helps!

[@alanross2876]

I at the same stage. Can’t get past 150bpm with doubles. It’s hard to be pumped about double stroke rolls when they are slower than singles.

[@khgriffi]

geez that took me 3 days just to understand the pattern 😅

[@oh-yt9ug]

only get to stage 6

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Take your time :D took me 8 years of drumming before I could hit 200bpm. everyone has a different journey too

[@firdshrf]

my doubles sounds like it got accent on the second stroke

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

That's a good problem. Many have a louder first stroke. And when it goes fast, it becomes messy. Louder 2nd strokes will make it sound way more even when played fast

[@samuelv7334]

You lose me at stage 8 😭

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

For now. I'll see you at stage 10 next month 😁

[@lousalvalaggio9058]

I think the workout is great, unfortunately the adds are too much and interfere with the workout and my you tubes days are over with this forceful adds everywhere, so I cannot and will not watch this anymore
