[@SereJJa]

I rarely save videos but this one is probably the MOST useful tutorial ever. I love how Eugene emphasizes that your success heavily depends on your approach and attitude. I'm going to re-watch this video again and again when I feel down. I only regret I didn't find this video earlier. Thank you Eugene

[@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer]

You are welcome. Comments like these are music to my ears. Thank you.

[@PossessWithin]

how did it go 1 year after?

[@SereJJa]

​@@PossessWithin I would say it went great and still goes :) Since last year I'm practicing almost daily and I completely rethought the way I practice thanks to this video. To give you some backstory I play drums since 2007 but I never practiced correctly, maybe just when I started I spend some time with a practice pad getting some basics done. In fact, since 2012 and till I watched this video I only "practiced" when I had rehearsals with my band 2 times a week. This resulted in a lot of things getting memorized incorrectly, having bad technique, having knee and elbow pains sometimes. Bad shit to be honest. Now I have to fight some ancient muscle memory and the most difficult part was to take a huge step back and starting a lot of things from scratch. Basically this video gave me the impulse to find time for practicing and made me realize that it is more efficient and better to work 10-20 minutes on something in particular (like "wrist motion" or "swivel technique" or "paradiddle" or whatever you want to improve) instead of just playing 2 hours straight with your band without ever realizing where your flaws are. Don't get me wrong - band rehearsals are important too, but you don't grow much as a drummer by just playing with your band and you also need to focus on your technique and experiment and that's where this kind of practice system gets extremely useful

[@nenissaK]

Couple notes to everyone: pay attention to how relaxed his hands are when he's playing; he's using only "one or two" muscles at a time and the rest are relaxed and not used; that way the hand is jiggling around visibly when he's playing. That's an important notion when you practice - think about wet spaghetti when you're doing anything that has something to do with speed. That way you'll pay more attention to your technique. Also if something feels really tight or painful from the beginning, stop, play at a slightly slower tempo (without the metronome) for a minute ONE HAND AT A TIME and WATCH what your hands are doing, then do the same for the other hand. Then try again, and start relatively quietly - not all out straight from the start.

[@Heretix1989]

no no, that's actually really good! i come here everyday, after i made my feet smoking with your doublebass-tutorial, i put on this video and keep practicing... =) There is nothing more motivational than Eugene Ryabchenko!!! +1! ^^ haha

THANK YOU FOR THIS

[@davidaustin9638]

Dude you've only been playing for 10 years? Holy shit

[@regul8or71]

I guess that's what happens when you follow the regimen that he is recommending/suggesting.

[@crooshflow1685]

Seriously! 10 years in the life of a drummer is nothing, but he's devoting over a weeks worth of work for an advanced drummer every single day for 10 years on top of his insane kick training regime. He devoted every day for 10 years, and it absolutely shows.

[@sierramister123]

These are seriously some of the most clear and concise drum lessons I've ever seen. Do you think you could make a tutorial on how to learn complex songs? I don't know if you do this very much but I've been finding it hard to learn songs by ear if they are more complex like animals as leaders or between the buried and me. If I don't have access to sheet music I find it extremely hard to figure the minute and less straightforward things the drums are doing. Thank you very much for these lessons, they are the best I've seen.

[@zyxwfish]

Day one trying this. This is the most logical drum workout I've ever seen.

[@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer]

thank you! Let me know about your progress!

[@zyxwfish]

I've been at it since the 8/1/18. I have seen great progress already. Been playing drums since 1999 and my left hand is still so awkward. I still can only do 245bpm with the left hand for 2 measures. Right hand can do much higher.

[@Timichaud]

The most clean video to see what to do with your stick! thank you very much eugene to share.

[@byron3453]

I’ve been doing these exercises for a couple months now, mostly focusing on wrists atm and it made a huge improvement on my playing. I’m starting to add fingers now.. can’t wait to see where I’m at in a year. Already playin better and cleaner than ever. Thank you Eugene

Interesting how youtube has recommended this to me 4 years on. This guy revolutionised my practice habits. Still very relevant video for me

[@freeat_last7375]

EXCELLENT...nice to see a young cat that can be serious and focused without acting silly...just give me drum wisdom Usually I HATE electronic gear, but you make it sing!

[@aymericgoupil2138]

Thank you so much for this video. I used to be part of a Deathcore band a long time ago and could reach 240bpm. Unfortunately i had to stop drumming because of my studies and haven't been playing for a while now. But this video definitely juiced me up to take drumming up again. So from deep within my heart : Thank you. Greetz from France n/

[@eulnivek6660]

Je suis Français et gros débutant à la batterie. Je me suis imposé sa routine tous les jours (sauf weekend) et pendant les temps de pause je bosse la double pédale. J'ai commencé début avril à partir de 90bpm aujourd'hui je suis a 140 :D j'ai commencé les exo de double à 70bpm j'en suis a 115/120. C'est des heures de pratique mais même pour un débutant c'est impressionnant la vitesse de progression ! Ah au fait Tu joues dans quel groupe ?

[@aymericgoupil2138]

​@@eulnivek6660 Félicitations pour ta persévérance cher ami ! Pour ce qui est du groupe ce n'était pas un groupe connu du tout mais ça envoyait quand même du pâté, maintenant nous n'avons plus de morceaux en ligne, ils sont perdus dans les limbes (c'était il y a 10 ans ce groupe...). Continue de bosser à mort mais surtout n'oublie pas aussi de te faire plaisir !

[@relaques666]

Eugene thank you so much for your tutorials!! This is a lifesaver for anyone unsure about how to reach these extreme goals!!!

[@danielnoguera2219]

Man, you are a great educator, thanks a lot! Its true, If you have a system and you monitor it, you can see the progress, and that pushes you to go to more. The goals keep your drumming motivated. Because i dont have too much time every day (work a lot), I have a routine in hand in 1.04 hour. This is a page of stick control, and a page of Wrist and finger control Wilcoxon, 12SC+5 rest, 12SC+5 rest, 10 W +5rest, and 10W + 5rest, increasing tempo every two seasons, and this pages are played 20 seasons (I heard of Dom Famularo, 3 weeks in same page). The part of the rest was something I did not do, but I realized that it is as important as the practice, as fixed knowledge. I choice Wilcoxon because this have a lot of combination in accents and rebound that help me in a creative way, and stick control for the reasons we all know, what do you think? Thanks again man! Now im planning my double bass routine too!

[@HamsteroidOver9000]

Exactly what I needed, a real training plan for serious metal drumming. Can't wait to be able to play songs like Violation while staying relaxed enough to stay precise and make it through without burning my muscles like hell itself was in my ass. Thanks a lot for the video Eugene, really helpful. ;)

[@ZetroDrummer]

Nice Man, I've been struggling trying to get more speed in my hands but the process is so slow I can barely notice a small progress after a few weeks. I'll take some ideas from you to make my own routine. I don't have two hours a day, but I think an hour would take me to play 220 bpm blasts for longer periods of time. I don't want to play ridiculously fast.Krimh level for 5 minutes straight is just Fine to me :) Cheers from Chile Man, I love your vídeos.

[@gSWG3R]

Saved this video and your double bass video. This is the best tutorial I've seen for improving hand speed.

[@brianhenderson8362]

My god, I am so gonna pull off my snare and cymbal pads from my roland kit and work on this. This is a great exercise, thanks for your knowledge Eugene.

[@sne60]

Thanks Eugene! You are a big inspiration.

[@Sonicstillpoint83]

Eugene, I had to learn all the muscles in the body and their attachments/motions, and I must say that your drum tutorials are the most detailed and effective for improve that I have ever seen. I had to work on assisting athletes to improve their skills or rehabilitation after injury and no one I have seen provides the systematic approach to drumming form and function that have clearly implemented while being able to articulate it to others. In the beginning, I was unable to implement a perfect routine for myself because I was unsure which motions and want muscle memory would provide the most beneficial impact on technique however, now, after watching your videos I have a much better idea. Thank you!

[@EugeneRyabchenkoDrummer]

Wow thanks a lot for this comment. Feels really nice to read something like this! Good luck with your practice.

[@DrummerCAS]

Thank you for sharing this practice routine!

[@ramkumarvajjhala6645]

ok.. this was by far the most motivating yet overwhelming video I have even seen.. I feel like I should jump on to the practice routine but 2 hours a day :O :O :O and the thought that starting speed for drummers is 200+ bpm 16th note.. OMG.. I am stuck at 160 for months now.

Greetings from Brazil, Eugine! Your videos are helping me A LOT in my researches about how to improve my drumming. Really, I'm constantly watching videos and reading about this stuff (I'm a drum teacher and student), and I can say you are one of the bests in KZbin, so in the playing as in the schedule of the exercises, analysing movements, muscles memory, and so on. I'll be spreading the word! ;D

[@fsmith5459]

Such a great tutorial man

[@andrefragoso7017]

After watching your tutorials i started rethinking my practise routines and ways to learn to techniques, and never realised how resting the muscles is important. Couple of months have passed and came up with my own ways based on your routine, even thou my goal in speed is not that extreme but still, and have been making a lot of progress :) Hope to be able to see you with Fleshgod in October in Portugal!

[@bultronlagore4932]

Great instructional video. He is spot on with everything. Even with these perfect instructions most people will give up and say they can’t do it. Most of the time it’s because they want to get good quickly and they realize it’s not going to work that way and they give up. It’s also sad/hilarious when people say “Playing fast like this doesn’t make you a good drummer.” This line 9 times out of 10 comes from a biased Death Metal hating non musician or a musician that’s jealous that they can’t pull this type of playing off so they bash it. Perfect example of this is when people were accusing the bands Rings of Saturn, Berried Alive, etc of cheating by speeding there music tracks up through a DAW. People couldn’t believe these guys were playing as technical/fast as they were and started to bash them. All those people got put in there place when the bands produced the raw feed of there live shows, played the songs live, basically produced the concrete proof that they were not cheating. Jared Dines is one of the people that was accusing them of cheating and put out an apology video admitting he was wrong. Of course a lot of people are not going to like this kind of playing/music which there is nothing wrong with that. Different strokes for different folks but people should atleast respect it and before bashing it try to educate themselves a little beforehand. This type of music is not easy to play and takes a lot of practice. Awesome video man and keep up the great work!

[@Scdl18]

Eugene, you deserve a beer or a bottle of whisky. Thank you for this tutorial, I was already loosing hope with my weaker hand and I practice everyday (Im a beginner though) when I can't practice I jam just to not loose the spirit. Thumbs up!!!

[@keenman0403]

I’m gonna try developing the Moeller motion for both hands, especially the left hand. A few of the blasts during To the Hellfire have this pattern: RL-L RL-L RL-L RL-L, and I’m having a hard time using wrist or fingers alone. Playing the rhythm slowly, I found myself naturally trying to use the whip motion with the left hand so I’m going to try to build upon that.
