I got home from work at 10pm last night, after a 9 hour shift, sat down to relax and catch up on KZbin. This was probably the third or fourth video I watched, and when Mike said 'you have to do this with me' I initially laughed to myself, not today Mike. But then he guilt tripped us all and there I was, screaming at my practise pad, feeling my already tired arms burning in pain. As soon as this was over, it felt amazing, this is a great exercise. Just don't do it at nearly 11pm when you should definitely be sleeping.

This guy is the best educator when it comes to drums. From someone spending a lot of time on form, but lacking speed, Mike’s “raw speed” phrase and this style muscle tear down exercise is just what I need. He always has something that I need, and an approach that makes it super helpful. Thanks Mike!

You need to basically let the sticks bounce on the pad a tiny bit but when it bounces about twice you hit it again and keeping doing that and then your sorted

This may not work for everyone but I grabbed a set of marching band sticks and a practice pad years ago. They're bigger so I found it easier to get my fingers more comfortable with helping move my sticks along. Also, speed is the natural progression of playing slow and controlled. Just set modest improvement goals and keep at them (example 3-4 BPM increases every 2 weeks) Metronomes can help. I'm not a teacher but I've been playing for over 20 years now and the hardest lesson for me to learn was that doing something slowly over and over again is the best way to let it sink in. Just go slow until the motion of your weak hand looks and feels like your dominant hand. Pay attention to the smallest details and try to make them match with both hands. That helped me progress much faster as well. Wish I had the patience for that as a young player. I'd need much further along

I was the same two years ago... now I think I’m at 80, 90 % of Mike’s fastest. It’s a real grind, but try to take it slow and steady, one BPM at a time.

Try and check out Rick Dior's channel. One of his teachers was Joe Morello, and he (Dior) has made some great videos, where he breaks the technique down and clearly and carefully explains, what and how to do it. His double stroke rolls are fast, and he doesn't really move his hands. He is very good. Good luck 🎵🌻🎶🥁

Mike... I am an old (51) weekend warrior hack and over the past year I have noticed my stamina and energy has dropped. I'll admit that I rarely (if ever) practice as I am currently playing in 4 bands and have day job + fam, so there is no "extra" time for that. My "practice" happens during the gig and listening/watching "game film" vids of the shows after, but hardly time to actually get on the kit or the pad to work out. I saw this vid and scrolled past...then went back to it 10 min later and played through the exercise with you. It was awesome to feel that burn and not worry about getting a cramp in front of 500 or 1000 people. I'll be revisiting this regularly while sitting at day job desk or whenever. Hope to get that stamina back soon. Thanks as always for the insipration and tips. You are still the best resource anywhere on the Internet for drummers.

Been coming back to your groove lessons and brought a little knowledge from the way with me.

And also providing content for all skill levels. Its highly appreciated, since I can learn what i lvoe to do without having to afford music lessons I feel like drums is just the perfect instrument for self teaching. Much love from Germany

Hello Mike from Ecuador. There is a technique I use with doble stroke: called in Spanish ... papamama... using the whole drum and toms using the papamama. Papa is left and mama is right. Papamama, papamama, papamama. The whole entire drums and feet. Doble stoke : papamama, papamama, repite it in your mind. Papa =potato in Spanish is left hand and mama is right ( mama is not mother) just ma ma. So repite in your mind papamama, papamama, left left, right right doble stroke. You can also combine using papa your right hand and mama your left. Pa right Pa right hand (2) or left which you desire. Ma left ma left. Pa right Pa right = papamama
