[@TLB_rollingsyncop8drumadic]

Stick control, Ted Reed book of Syncopation, Advanced techniques for the modern drummer.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

@@TLB_rollingsyncop8drumadic fantastic books!!!

[@paulrevelli]

I've always loved the companion to Stick Control, a book called Accents & Rebounds by G.L. Stone. Of course, more recently the "Gaddiments" book is a must.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Great books! I don't have Gaddiments yet, but maybe I should pick that up.@@paulrevelli

[@bodiehenderson8969]

Hey Juan! Thanks for the content. I've gotten into your first book and hoping to get your second soon! I appreciate the concept of doing something really well and making the most of it! Thanks!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

First THANK YOU for your support!!! Secondly, anytime! I think having some sort of limits or parameters definitely helps with creativity! Enjoy the book and if you post anything on any socials, tag me! Would love to see your progress with the book! 🎉🎉🎉

[@mattnieri1202]

Definitely loved how you applied these to grooves. Loved the Gene Krupa style and Latin grooves at the end. Doesn't matter but Stick Control ex.7 is a reverse paradiddle, BTW. It all works just as good anyway though.

[@mattnieri1202]

Love this!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Thanks brother!!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Yup! Nice observation! Also, most of the examples can pretty much be looked as paradiddles too. Depending on how you look at the starting point! Please share the video if you can! Thanks!

[@ckr430]

Not to be the stick control police but line #7 in stick Control is RRLR LLRL you have RRLR LRRL

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

@@ckr430 👮‍♂️ 🚨 you are absolutely right!! I’ll fix it for Part 2 and will make a note of it! 🙏 for the observation!

veeeeery nice and important exercise !!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Thanks and yes VERY important exercises! Glad you dug it! Please share!

[@andreasbreitwieser1449]

incidentally you have a little mistake in your exercise. Stick Control exercise ex. 7 is RRLRLLRL, which is the 3.version of the Paradiddle (diddle in front), what is logical, these are the four examples of the PD.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

@@andreasbreitwieser1449 yup I know. Some People have already mentioned it and I’ll fix it for Part 2. 😉

[@andreasbreitwieser1449]

first off, good presentation and production quality...this is also a really good way to practice one of the most known exercises in drumming ✌️😎

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Thank you very much and yes definitely one of the most known and necessary exercises in drumming. Appreciate it! Part 2 will be out in a few weeks.

Muchísimas gracias hermano!! Por favor enseña se lo as tus amigos!

[@RickEmmines]

I love that we’re bringing it back to basics for the start of the year. Great content, will definitely try these exercises out!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Glad you like them! It’s all about the fundamentals and usually any issues you may be having are because there’s a kink in the fundamentals!

[@Rudy-mb7eb]

Happy new year, I absolutely enjoyed the video even though I'm not that good playing drums as you it's good to try something new sometimes thank you for everything keep up the good work

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Happy new year! Thank you so much for checking out the video!!

[@stanfordkoch1271]

Esooo

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Dale!!!

[@lobbyrobby]

I started learning the drums several months ago. I haven't started or learning any rudiments or sticking yet. I probably should tho but I just wanna jam out to some songs!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

For sure! Jamming out is always fun! You do what you like and if you get stuck just use this material to hopefully get you out of a rut. Cheers!

[@lobbyrobby]

@@JuanCarlitoMendoza for sure. Thank you.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

You’re welcome

[@clasesdepercusion]

Hi my friend, all this things are in the book of movements , read II, youll love it

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Cool gotta check it out!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Send me a link of the book you are talking about. Would love to support

[@anametinkpo]

I thought the third exercise should be RRLR LLRL… but I still like the RRLR LRRL 👍

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Yup it’s suppose to be RRLR LLRL. Totally made a mistake and definitely will fix for part two, but I did the mistake 😂 it has a different vibe.

[@anametinkpo]

I do like the vibe 🔥

[@maikeldiazroman7886]

I have a question: Is the third exercise correct??? I mean...: RRLR - LRRL ???

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

I address this in the comments below and in part 2 😉

[@licenciadoensentidocomun70]

el número 7 no era RRLR LLRL?

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Si! ¡Estás en lo correcto! Cometí un error y lo revisaré para la parte 2. Un par de personas lo han señalado.

[@paulrevelli]

@@JuanCarlitoMendoza I was gonna say the same thing, but I felt self-conscious correcting the master. My copy of Stick Control is probably older than you are.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

@@paulrevelli I just messed it up. The next video will have the correct stickings with different applications

[@paulrevelli]

@@JuanCarlitoMendoza Forgot to say that I love where you're going with this. Keep 'em coming, Happy New Year and thank you so much.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

@@paulrevelli absolutely! Thanks for supporting the channel and myself! Please share the video 😊

[@markgotwalt4599]

I think you have variation #2 incorrectly notated. It should be RRLR LLRL.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Addressed that in Episode 2 😉

[@noemisteri5058]

Hello! Excercise 7 is wrong. It should be RRLRLLRL

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Already addressed in episode 2.

[@sessenkcis5832]

Green is not a creative color

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

What?? I am so confused 😂 are you talking about my shirt?

[@mattbecker01]

I think they’re referencing a lyric of the song from Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared episode 1. Not sure why. Anyway great content as always!

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

@@mattbecker01 gotta check that out. Thanks for clearing that up 😂 I was so confused

[@pauldrumwell4922]

How odd that indeed you had a slip on the sticking in #7 and yet proceeded to employ it in all applications. To proceed with this as a student will instill a completely incorrect muscle memory system and amending it would be frustrating to say the least. Is it your intention to address the matter in part two and recommend that those that followed Pt.1 need to go back over and correct your error? Time is precious.

[@JuanCarlitoMendoza]

Part 2 will be out in a few mins and I address your point in Part 2. As far as “incorrect muscle memory” your statement is correct and incorrect: if we are talking about the playing the same patterns over and over again, yes I agree with you, BUT what happens if you make a mistake on the gig? Most people/students will stop instead of finding a way to recover. In addition, the incorrect sticking that I did present is one that you’ll have to play eventually, so learning how to get in and out of patterns using the “incorrect” sticking is something a student will have to learn anyway. I honestly don’t think it’s a hindrance in a student’s learning/vocabulary, just another set up motions to learn that are necessary anyway. Thanks for the comment and I agree time is precious (trust me I know) but the student will have to learn the other patterns down the round. Here’s part 2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poqQiJiJl5aSqdUsi=uXUlHL0gR3kEESY7 and again thanks for your thoughts and comment! Appreciate it.
