Hand Independence Builder For Beginner Drummers

I'm back with another lesson taken from our brand new book: The Best Beginner Drum Book. Today we're going to talk about limb independence - specifically lead-hand independence.
When you're just starting out on the drums, it's difficult to separate your limbs and have them all do different things at the same time. If you want to start exploring different drum beats and fills, gettings those hands and feet separated from one another is crucial. Simply put... You need to build limb independence to play what you want.
Here are five different drum beats you can practice to help free up your lead hand. Start slow! If you're having trouble, try isolating one or two limbs first, then slowly put everything together.

There’s something about Jared’s patient tone and presentation that just really works for me. An avid viewer and user of these videos, superb

[@Gruby7C1h]

Production & upload quality pays of, this video is from 2018 but feels like something released yesterday.

[@brandonrodriguez8615]

Bearded Jared is the best thing that ever happened to Drumeo

[@kiwiingenuity6666]

#TrumpTheLyingInsaneFascistBigot Yea actually its scientifically proven

[@albertonuno1790]

The coolest thing is the beard grew in about 3 seconds from the background picture. Lol.

[@themajordudes8194]

It probably makes him a better drummer. My friend has a beard and ever since he grew it he thinks he's king shit

[@katchkartoons]

Straight up.

This guy f***s

[@gmoney1592]

Great Video. These are all good exercises. And the fact that they are all in the book helps a lot . Pls keep doing these videos they help more than you know. The book is excellent. Those sock are vicious man they rock!!!

[@Jakevrana]

Thanks Jared, I’ve been playing for about 3 weeks now and have been following along with your beginner lessons. I have to say I feel like your exercises have really accelerated my progress and I just bought your book because my progress has been proof enough for me that your lessons work.

[@pumpkin1982]

The sound of this kit and mix is perfect. Great attack/decay, tuning, just awesome.

[@DailyDrumLesson]

Great video as always, Jared. Thanks for everything you do!

[@dave-ef2fd]

Jared, you are the most likeable guy who with every sentence relates to exactly the way I am feeling/struggling. Superb instruction delivery with a touch of realistic empathy!! Thank you from a total beginner!!

[@RJG_Ecology]

Thank you for this, he talks SO much...

[@stevencccccc]

Russ Gray why you will never become a good drummer, is because you’re impatient and instead of listening to him explain it, you rather just jump straight to the playing.

[@RJG_Ecology]

@@stevencccccc I've been drumming since I was 5. I'm a fine drummer. I pulled up this video for my mother to watch because she wants to learn and I'm a terrible teacher. I think his videos are great for drills; however, since he keeps talking and talking and talking there is about 1 minute or less of actual tutorial. My mother kept losing interest because she would have to keep finding parts that weren't just him talking.

Thanks Mr. Ugly Chicken!

[@Bearclaw-Arkoudas]

Hi Jared . First of all I want to thank you for all your videos because they have helped me A LOT , being a self-taught drummer , you are the closest I have ever had to a "drums teacher" . So , I wanted to ask you about the cymbals used in this video cause they really sound great . Especially that ride at 8:25 has a really sweet bell sound . Thank you again for your amazing work !

[@gpratten9583]

Paiste Formula I think. Probably 14" Hats, 16" and 18" crashes and looks like two rides, probably 20" and 22" with a splash.

[@johngibbs7944]

Thank you so much. I'm just learning so this one is very helpfal

[@bombshellblonde544]

These exercises are GREAT! I'm just starting out and I don't even have a kit set up yet, so I'm just grinding independence on a pad. These were awesome for that. When you started orchestrating it though? THAT was so exciting. Suddenly it wasn't just an independence exercise. It was music

[@sebastianrojaspalos269]

2:03 we are warriors.....warriors of the world! Nice video

[@saitun2373]

Hello Sir how are you? I am so glad to know you here. I am from Myanmar, I am not Drummer but I would like to learn because my church need Drummer. So please teach me . thank you God Bless you all

[@augvoorde2]

Nice snare sound.

[@sarahissy4241]

I just got some drum sticks and a practice pad so I will be watching your videos.Thanks .Oh and great socks :-)

[@benjaminarredondo2792]

[@braumski2]

Perfect for my current skill level. It's just challenging enough to where I can almost get it but not quite

[@s.dstern9870]

Good morning I am a beginner and enjoy playing the drums I play in church and enjoy watching your lessons and learning more beats God bless you

Simple yet effective for us beginners ✌️

[@tosinmcboy]

Jared you are my favourite drummer

[@Layers_of_a_vagabond]

Jared, I personally can’t thank you enough for drumeo. And I mean the entire fraternity. But you’ve stopped uploading the sheet music in the description. It would be really helpful if you resumed to upload that. Thanks again!

[@jorgelopestrigo1303]

These exercises are from his book. There's no point in trying to sell a drum book if you post videos AND the sheet music for free, right? But you do have it on the video. Copy it using paper or MuseScore. I do it a lot and it's really helpful.

[@SKragseth]

Jared! Loved your solo at the end. Just got some new Clear G2's and an Iron Cobra 600 today. This was the first video I watched and I'm inspired! Love Drumeo! Shoutout from Marysville, WA

Great work bro ! Daughter is having same problem and my methods aren't as effective as yours, so thx

[@heitlerremlalfaka4063]

Hi, am a big fan of Drumeo thanks for all these lessons... few years ago there was a guest drummer in the studio who apparently wrote a book and during his on the drumeo studio Dave quoted him from his book, it goes something like "...it takes humility for a great musician at the same time courage to express himself"... i don't remember the exact quote, can u pls direct me to that video, i need a verbatim quote of that...

[@batwithglasses]

Excellent and informative vid as usual.. The new chin plumage looks dapper!

[@bwolfgangw]

instruction starts at 1:59 :)

[@ehyanghee]

Thanks for very helpful and easy lessons

[@HidefVince]

1:11 Stop. No need to go farther. You sold "Da' book" with that mind blowing rudiment right there. Can you please break it down for me? It sounded awesome.

[@gearymbole]

l really love 😘 the way you teach me 🤙 it really makes me how to play music and learn the beat teach me more please 🙏

My 4 year old son says I’m the drummer from now on and he plays the guitars… haha. These videos are great, thank you.

[@marckluiemercado9526]

Love the beard Jared 👌🏻

[@KyleCuppy]

I deliver pizza and work almost 50 hours a week and have almost no time to actually play on my kit so while im driving ill play along with song tempos with my left hand starting with single notes at the exact tempo and speed up to double/triple strokes so i can hopefully get it up to speed with my right loooool

[@wooomplants1340]

I hope you distribute the book to other part of the world... Man the shipping cost to my country and the fee are more expensive than the book itself haha.

[@philatkinson3955]

I'm a beginner drummer and I can't really read sheet music. Could you do a tutorial on that?

[@himangsumohan1736]

This lesson was nice

[@raiterraiter6467]

We lov it

[@okpiakpanojoshua1454]

Ahh finally, its been Long I saw ur videos

[@davidcoon6455]

Just curious - you seem to have a different kit, or at least a different brand of kit in almost every video! Always Evans heads, always Paiste cymbals, but the kits are always changing. I can't imagine you change that much, do you?

[@cryptonios]

as simple as it looks the rimshot on the left hand is on a pro sounding level...so a lesson on rimshots should be prior to this if you want us to practise it as above

[@katrinang8367]

good

[@Misterdandamanify]

Question...what to do when all the basic lessons are through?

[@nexdrums]

Jared great drummer

[@quadreesinger5728]

Why does it say the book is $19 in the description, but $30 on amazon and the drumeo website?

[@hungryshark97]

Love the socks!

[@sideness4938]

Thanks for the video and all your work. There's a problem in the description. It says that the book costs $19 but on the website, it's $29.

[@tempastor6027]

19$ is the cost 29$ is the price

[@jeffreyalfeche7421]

thanks bro. for the nice lesson

[@joe_tipakuah4880]

People focus more on socks and beard in this video.Btw keep it up Jared!

[@BobCCock-ls3gk]

What is a good affordable 5 piece set? I don't want to spend a ton but I also don't want absolute junk. Any recommendations as far as pricing and equipment? I have a 5 piece now that's old and ratted out and is missing all but two cymbals one of which is a broken hi-hat. It was free! Lol.

[@jordonmsmith]

Bob C. Cock check out some tama or pearl roadshow sets?

[@jerryrocketandthegogogirls3517]

Bob C. Cock I love my pearl export but the Ludwig evolution is a really good deal and sounds great

How does he turn that stick like that😲

[@steevjohn4156]

can you do a intermediate weak hand independence

[@VioletAOP416]

steev John yeah a lot of this is pretty beginner stuff, I could do it all without really thinking about it. More advanced exercises would be helpful.

@@VioletAOP416 look up drumeo independence.. They have intermediate and advanced stuff on KZbin

crazy sick socks man, post the link where I can find em'

[@jaroslavjancula9303]

Hey Jared, thanks for this one. I am just curious how to develop an independence when I play open-handed style and want to play classical way too (my right hand does the same as you pointed - beats simultaneously with the right foot...I am desperate)

[@tosinkingfishercheeseburge8901]

Jared you are drummer teacher

[@juiettepayne6973]

Thanks bro! Loved the video! Question: how do you get the staff lines on the bottom of the video? What resource did you use to get that feature on your vids? Any tips would be great!

[@johannest3628]

Here's a question from a beginner drummer: Why is it easier to play beat #5 (for example) with my lead hand on the ride cymbal compared to on the hi-hat? Somehow uncrossing my arms helps? Just curious. Thanks for great video content.

[@lt.spruilly6452]

I know this is a late reply, but I've asked this question myself! I feel like it has to do with having one arm crossed over the other that you makes you feel like your hand doesn't have room to breathe. Does that make sense? I even raised my hi hats or would lower my snare a little to help me not feel as cramped

[@johannest3628]

@@lt.spruilly6452 You're probably right. Might also be my eyes finding it easier to figure out what's going on if my arms aren't crossed, maybe that helps my brain a little bit. Haha. Thanks for replying!

[@lt.spruilly6452]

@@johannest3628 no problem! You could also just work some exercises like playing 16ths on the hats and snare and get your hands used to maneuvering around each other

[@johannest3628]

@@lt.spruilly6452 Thank you, appreciate it!

[@OvidiuBostan]

2:29 4:20 5:17 6:17 7:14

[@keggerous]

This is my biggest hurtle right now. I'm having a hard time putting bass notes between my right hand setting the tempo. Especially if my right foot is expected to push like two 16th notes between quarter notes on my right hand or putting 32nd notes between 16th notes. It's also hard to have a baseline that is hitting 16th notes in general while my right hand is going 8th or quarter notes. My hand always wants to speed up with my foot and match speed.

[@justjonow4553]

Merci!

[@darrell2132]

Hey Jared, where could I find your book to buy ? Thanks!
