The end was very good. My way to improve my drumming has always been finding a song I wanted to cover, that was slightly out of my comfort zone and practicing it until I could basically play it in my sleep.

[@lukistevefanclub4626]

Very good and helpful video thank you so much man!!! I was struggling to find exercises more focused on metal drumming than basic singles or doubles but I guess thats also part of metal drumming

[@ThomasCremier]

Thank you for watching and for your feedback! Yeah, the basis of metal drumming is blast beats for hands 😉 And it goes directly with singles rolls ! Hope you will get to play what you want !

I love when teaches show their sloppy practice. I feel like not enough people show themselves pushing themselves past the limit and I know when I was learning that kept me from pushing myself enough for a long time

[@ThomasCremier]

Thank you for pointing this out ! ♥️ It's very important to push ourselves, even if it is not perfect ! Keep playing !

Great advice and the raw practice footage was amazingly helpful, thanks so much and keep it up man!

[@eyeballs_ian]

7:48 was crazy!!! U got a new subscriber ❤️🤘🤘🤘

[@jovandukmedziev3214]

It's called a gravity blast/roll, and it's a Swedish technique, I believe. It's used in a lot of extreme metal songs and drumming, and it's done by bouncing off by the rim of the snare and getting extreme fast notes. There are a lot of tutorials about it on youtube, check it out

[@jefflindsay6446]

Most elegant instruction on blast beats I've seen. Thank you!

[@daskasspatzle2396]

Having fun should be the reason to play the drums, keep on going and thanks for your videos ;-)

[@LordBaktor]

The bit about going above the speed you're currently comfortable with is something I've seen many overlook. Sometimes we drummers are so afraid of developing a bad habit that we stay inside our comfort zone for too long, slowing our progress down in the end. You need to do something badly a bunch of times in order to learn how to do it good.

[@ThomasCremier]

Exactly ! You cannot achieve to do something new without failing a lot before ! That's why sometimes, it is good to try and fail, try and try again 😊 Thanks for the comment ! Cheers !

[@Drewidx-yz7cv]

So French grip, all fingers for fast blasts. Got it 👍👌😁

[@ThomasCremier]

Yeah, I didn't speak about the grip type, but you told it right ! :)

[@theopinson3851]

Are you really shocked that he plays with the French grip? 😂

[@deepakghising7649]

I'm always confused because for fast roll France grip is Good but when you need to do accented roll you need to move to American grip I really wanted to do everything with french grip is it possible?

[@alextorres7655]

I realized i needed to stop and practice as soon as you started showing your finger exercises. My left hand has a long way to come when it comes to finger control, thanks!

[@ThomasCremier]

Man, that's the same ! In that video my left and right sides didn't have the same technique, ad the same ease. After some months and years of practicing, my left fingers can be used for the flying technique ! Hope you'll reach the level you want ! Cheers from France !

[@TronciM]

It's interesting that when you were practicing you use your wrist way more with your right hand than your left hand

[@ThomasCremier]

Yeah I saw it, I do not think about this, it is natural for me, not necessarily the best thing to do but it works.

[@jonathanmellqvist2]

I do it too, but it works ^^

[@Lugburz666]

@@ThomasCremier so do you recomend using the wrist for both hands?

[@ThomasCremier]

Oscar Martín I recommend to play and see what your body does. And it is more comfortable to your. Maybe you won’t use your wrist but your fingers will play great. In that case work on your fingers to expand your muscles capacities ! But if you are stuck with all the part of your arm and hand, play very slow and force yourself to exaggerate the motion !

[@sorrito7]

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one. I have been practicing to get my left to do the same motion as my right hand

[@vigilance4749]

Nice. Finish with the Gravity Blast.

[@ThomasCremier]

Yeah, maybe I'll do a video about this technique too ! 😉

Thank you for uploading very helpfull videos like this. I do the exercises you mentioned in the video now for about a month, and i'm really improving great. Before doing the exercises my limit of clean playing was about 220 bpm. After a month I reached the 240 bpm very easy by practising half an hour/hour daily. Keep on doing such great teaching videos. :)

At about 3:50 I noticed that he does more fingers, and wrist with his right hand, and mostly just fingers with his right. I do that too, and I thought that would make my playing sound a bit off. Good to see it doesn’t make much of a difference.

I definitely need to do more disciplined hand workouts. I never skip leg day with drumming but my hands are all uncoordinated with blasting so that's another story haha

[@ThomasCremier]

Just take it slow at first, try to play consistent single strokes, and increase little by little, and sometimes push yourself beyond your comfort zone, it helps developing your muscles !

[@eekenulv]

wonderful! soo many good drummers out there and you are definitely one of them :-)

[@ThomasCremier]

[@4myeyesonly]

Watching this to get my blast beat technique more precise and comfortable. Having a hard time letting my wrist/fingers do the work and not my whole forearm lol.

[@ThomasCremier]

It is super complicated to work other group of muscles, even unlock the possibilities for your fingers to make such a motion ! But with time, effort and training they will do it 😉

[@Shadow0fd3ath24]

The wrist technique is just giving a bit of energy to a pendulum at the right time... just like how a clock works, only the snare hits and rebound of energy given by the fingers are the jewels of the escapement

[@ThomasCremier]

That's pretty much it ! The wrist gives the impulse and let me stay precise and know where I am in terms of rhythm !

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@fVNzO]

The thing i noticed the most is that your leading hand is doing a lot of moeller, whereas the left is almost strictly finger finger technique, with wrist/arm for strength, but all very linear. This is not a bad thing at all, and it probably comes from the lower rebound of the ride and accenting necessary to do more complex cymbal patterns. I know that's what I'm doing. I think though, that developing stronger moeller technique for the left hand, while more of a classical approach to hand technique will increase both speed and control since it allows you to change the muscle groups mid blast and conserve energy. Maybe you can already do this but don't need to, i don't know. But i will personally try and get moeller better on my left hand with french grip. It's currently better than my right with american grip though, likely due to the natural hand position of a snare. Your amplitude, as you say, however is very impressive. There's a lot of strength there. Very good.

[@ThomasCremier]

You're right ! my left hand is mostly doing blast beats so, as a metal drummer, I want a constant and homogeneous sound on my snare blasts ! 😊 Thank you very much for your comment !

[@Shmeeby9411]

2:12 That is what I've been trying to figure out how to do for so long.

[@ThomasCremier]

It is all about training. Just as running, or any sport. Your muscles need to be trained and that you work your stamina ! It takes a long time and as you see at the end of the video, at that time, my both hands / arms didn't have the same technique. It is all about training ! 😊 Keep drumming and enjoy what you do !

[@j.r.8239]

Thomas, at 7:36 in this video lesson, you play blast beats with the right hand very close to the hoop/rim of the snare. Are you touching the shell with the stick? And is that a technique separate from the techniques you demonstrated in the video, or a modification of those techniques?

[@ThomasCremier]

The part at exactly 7:36 is a right handed blast beat but I do not touch the rim at that point. But at 7:47 I play a gravity blast, it is a two times faster than a traditional one as the first stroke is when going down on the snare hitting the rim and the head, and the second stroke is made when going back up using the rim as a pivot point to hit the head a second time ! It is true I didn't talk about the Gravity Blast on this lesson, maybe I will do a video for this type of blast 😊 Hope it helps ! Cheers !
