Drum lesson - How to twirl a drum stick! Not essential when learning drums but a bit of fun!

[@johnnystrong7275]

I do it a little bit different. I was taught by a martial artist back in the late 70s to hold my hand to the side.. using the technique with the stick between the fingers rotating , also at the same time my wrist and a waving in circular motion. Which allows the stick to rotate faster and more powerful. With more control

[@CiaraDrums]

How cool!

[@alisharo58]

Would you consider videoing doing this?

[@jwwright7622]

you are Beautiful. I've played professionally since I was 15 in 1968. I am now 70 this July. it was always fascinating to see a drummer twirl their sticks, and never figured it out. thank you very much for showing me the trick!! although I have Stage 4 cancer now, I still want to learn this before I leave this world.

[@CiaraDrums]

Thank you for such a thoughtful comment 🙏🏻 I would love to know how you get on with learning this. Hope drumming can bring you joy when things are challenging ❤️

[@wizmarley5574]

You still with us? 😢

[@TheBandMan]

Still with us? Hoping for the best….

[@vernonsteinkamp1088]

We are two of the same. I started in 1965,and I'm now 72. I hope you're doing well since your post was a year ago.

[@JeiElRai]

Let's remember that showmanship is invaluable! Not to be too ostentatious, but in time when most musicians just stand still most of the time, just a little bit of physical and visual flare and flavor can massively set the whole act apart.

[@animexanimes6223]

ok this is so difficult!! idk why i’ve tried this like 20 times!!

[@capitalschool8765]

F'n, informative and instructive. The expletive was a required honour to the rock gods.

[@snjser]

That's so cute from you sharing this...awesome!!!

[@CiaraDrums]

No worries 🙌🏻

[@zacharyjohnson7096]

Thank you for actually being a really talented drummer and not one of those "lady's" that dress skimpy for views. You're truly amazing!!!

[@CiaraDrums]

Thanks for the kind words! I have two daughters and whilst drummers can wear whatever they want I would like my girls to know that what matters most is your character and not what you look like ;)

[@jamesjoseph1449_]

Yeah i know what you mean, this video is so underrated. Yet, i always see those "lady's" that wear little clothing and play very basic beats but get thousands and thousands of likes.

[@marksampson48]

Those women are actually talented. A person can be sexy *and* talented.

[@THE_PATMAN_87]

First off beautiful blues 💙 and rad I'm a guitarist and I've always wanted to know the mechanics thanks! Keep up the Rock sister!

[@stephenbradford1971]

I go the other direction from you and I have always loved using this trick when playing fills into crash and back to main beat.

[@CiaraDrums]

Nice!!!

[@FOJO27]

I taught myself to go the other direction with both hands and I'm now trying this way. My fingers want to revert to how I've done it for so long but I'm gonna keep trying! Also, thanks for showing it this way, from your perspective. It makes SOOOOOOO much more sense than others showing it by trying to mirror looking at them (if that makes sense?) New subscriber btw - hi from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦

[@marksampson48]

A good illustration of the difference between "simple" and "easy". A simple task, but not necessarily easy.

[@jerrybrimhall7951]

Thank you for the twirling lesson. I am a pro bass guitar player and we have set up our 5 year old grandson with a Ludwig pocket set. And I know he will enjoy this cool drummer twirling.

How sweet of you to share this. I always wanted to know this. Thank you so much!

[@benpeter7618]

Easy way of teaching mam. Thank you so much 🥰❤️

[@Daniel-pk5wv]

This really helps! Pointing out how you move your indexfinger in circles did it for me :D

[@danielweber1952]

I’ve played since I was 5. I’m 71. I don’t want to twirl. Time better spent practicing drum techniques. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.🥁🎶

[@alisharo58]

🙄

[@XenoTravis]

Stick should be above finger using the medial bone. Most drummer's who are not good at this trick yet do it by the proximal bone which has way less control and the stick is more likely to hit the hand. Rotating on the medial joint and with the more defined movements of the index finger can make it way easier and better to use when switching fingers while rotating.

[@salomerichta8489]

Thank you so much for this tutorial ❤❤🫶🏻🫶🏻🩷🤘

[@CiaraDrums]

[@dougharrison385]

30+ years of playing here. I was always too embarrassed to ask someone to show me how to do this because everyone talked smack about people who couldn't. 😂 Thanks for the tips!!

[@CiaraDrums]

[@manjulabandara4442]

[@BillSmith-rx9rm]

So when you see a drummer doing this, they are not really spinning the stick. It is just an optical delusion. LOL

[@CiaraDrums]

I know!! I couldn’t believe it when I found out

[@Kunita1]

I'll save this for later, in case I ever play a gig and want to practice it 😂

[@PISStopherNolan]

I genuinely thought they were like... Spinning the drumstick over fingers in between other fingers lol. I had no idea the stick just stays between your index of middle finger, so it doesn't actually do a 360 spin. You learn something new everyday

[@sonicsponys]

Good job

[@alexgolovchenko3791]

Great tutorial! You're very, very good. Even though I've perfected my tricks over the years I've always refrained from using them on stage during gigs. I feel it's too much of a distraction for the audience and takes away from the music at hand. Not to mention, there is nothing more embarrassing than dropping a stick while unnecessarily showing off. I just stick to the basics, so to speak, and do the job. All due respect, just my opinion.😊

[@CiaraDrums]

Oh totally :) I don’t do them that much anymore, just a bit of fun really ;)

[@Heyjosue88]

Yessssss thanks you so much for that side to side im in the process oof wiggling

[@CiaraDrums]

[@scotttansey1943]

Im in Love!

[@eggmooi2797]

Are you perfectly balancing the stick with your hand/wrist while you twirl or do you grip it so it can’t slip/slide? I can only do it when it’s perfectly balanced and it takes like 4-5 twirls before it starts sliding :(. Wondering if it’s my grip that’s too firm or too loose or the position of my hand/wrist.

[@CiaraDrums]

I have a good grip with my fingers so it doesn’t slip :)

[@AbiLities2010]

How do I keep it from going up because I manage to do 1 twirl and it slowly goes up my fingers and just leaves my hand 😅😅

[@CiaraDrums]

It is definitely tricky to keep it in the centre but is the stick right at the base of your fingers? This has helped me

[@BR1967FE]

Does it matter which way it goes?

[@guntertorfs6486]

Like the nail polish.

[@vimalv1347]

[@redfin382]

Is the stick actually moving around your finger? Or does it just appear to.

[@CiaraDrums]

It just appears that way :) it’s an illusion

[@desmo5514]

Is that 1st twirl the same twirl as the 2nd one ?

[@astromandomine14]

It's a revelation. I had it wrong for so long

[@CiaraDrums]

Ahh apparently I’m spinning it the opposite way to most 😅🙈

[@astromandomine14]

At full speed it looks like the stick rotates around the index finger. The drummers union will be so upset

[@rickwells5624]

My twirler is broke, I guess. I try to twirl and I cant keep it between the fingers. Which are short, study and i have big knuckles. I always figured it's because of the knuckles. One twirl, and the stick comes out like taking a screw out of wood.

[@Rnmendoza25]

Cool

[@FrankPCarpi]

I noticed that the stick is cracked, and I have found that Vater drum sticks break way too easily for the price. I prefer ProMark oak sticks over every other brand because you can shred those babies and they are still playable!

[@mrrix7989]

it hurts between my fingers, is that normal?

@@CiaraDrums accually if you are good at the moment its crashing there is just a milla second to let the index finger roll over the stick then you have a open grip again.. use the impact to change the grip on the stick kinda idea. ;)

It’s easier to go counterclockwise, because you can actually throw it into motion forward instead of the way you are showing. Just saying. I’ve been doing this for 60 years, both hands.
