How Fast Can You Go?! - Try The Single Stroke Speed Drill 💪🏽

[@barrylisle6007]

Rob, thanks for this! Quick question, are you using "wrists" or "fingers" or a little of both?

[@jeromie7334]

Looks like fingers…👀

[@MGentile-dl9wc]

Yoe Rob,+ (beat down )used to follow u ,been a while but good to cu still at it my Dude !

[@tommo3378]

Looks like both.

[@DavidOakesMusic]

No word of a lie - I die laughing at Flamuel L Jackson _EVERY TIME_

[@elikebudi]

FLAMOLOGIST

[@robert-zr6vo]

Rob you are the only one who explains how the rudiments work and I have been playing since I was a kid

[@marvinspates924]

Thank you, thank you Rob!!! I love all the hand strengthening drills you put up!!! Man why didn't I have someone like you 58 years ago???? Lol yes I'm 70 years old and I'm at it again. Not the best but not bad either!!! Keep up your awesome training lessons! Being black and growing up in South there were no good teachers like you!!!

[@c.l.4895]

I can only do 160 cleanly (for now), just putting it out there so other slow pokes don’t feel alone.

[@mpe1581]

Bro I might be lucky to get 120 clean

[@benpeterson7530]

How many songs really require more than 160 bpm 16th notes?

[@rubenssz]

Nice exercise!!! One exercise I love to do is 2 bars of 16ths and then 2 bars of 32ths, starting at 40bpm, using the progression of 1bpm increase every 4 bars. So, I'll just go 40bpm, 41bpm, until my limit, wait a few hours, then do it again. It's great for getting speed quickly in any exercise, single stroke, double stroke or paradiddle.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Very impressive. Cheers, Rob! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🥁🇨🇦

[@brittdavid8591]

I Needed that 💚

[@danielthomasauricchioberal7856]

Thanks Rob for this exercise, I did 230 in 3 minutes!!! I used to play death metal kkkkkk

[@RobFerrellDrumStudio]

Great exercise! Hanks for this Rob! 💪🥁💪

[@ScottRinseRepeat]

We used this as a drum line warmup back in the day. Also, same thing but replace the 16ths with triplets. Great content as always.

[@davidfrancis5514]

Bloody hell man! The tension!!!! I'm so tense after a couple measures that somebody could play me and get a cracking sound!

[@jeromie7334]

Rob… You are all around AWESOME..!! Love your vibe/your videos/the way you guide/great humor!! Just got back into playing after many years and this time I’m doing it right. Practicing, practicing, practicing, working on technique/rudiments/solid doubles/singles to lay a really solid foundation. Very Appreciative to you for all you put out there for us all. Love this speed test video. Keep on being Awesome…🥁😎

[@walterlucas39]

Damn Bro, you come through every single time. Thank you as always for the knowledge! Drum on!

[@n4t3barraza2]

Id love to see you play some deftones. I’ve been trying to learn some of Abe Cunninghams groove and they look easy but hard to put into practice

[@GeoffGillDrums]

Niiice ! Adding this into my “NO TIME THIS TIME” work to match Stewart live at 210+.

[@nandopolesel]

Dude I love this exercise I've increased my speed by 6 bpm in 3 days. I'm gonna do it everyday and focus on relaxing and never get tense. If I do I'll remain at the tempo thats comfortable and be patient

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

That’s cool, man 🙂👌🏽

[@chazboish]

Hey man!! lots of fun trying to keep up Rob. My metronome maxed out at 210 lol. Keep these videos coming since once released we are all over them!!

[@debralynnpaxton5238]

You're the man, Rob ! Great exercise ! About to go try it !

[@TheRealSandman]

I've got my singles around 165bpm playing 16ths for 2 minutes straight, definitely want to get it faster. Started working more on finger technique to up the speed.

[@CharlesTPrimm]

GREAT lesson, as always. Cheers mate.

[@gsxracer1977]

with wrist/fingers comby, 205 is my max, 195 is where i am normally at and can stay. Higher and it starts to get crampy hahaha. tip: you can also use bassdrum with the 1, makes it easier

[@justinkump3092]

Gonna go work that out now, and thanks for the push, the perspective in all that you do for us that pay attention. It is appreciated. What sticks are you using - your overall go to sticks, and different types per intended application for use in different approach and effectiveness? Have you done any stick comparison tutorials? If so please share back/revisit

[@JumpRopeMasters]

I’m going to start doing this one for sure. Love your exercises

[@bgryderclock]

great stuff! works for double bass too

[@Arythmnmaker1]

Excellent presentation! Cool dig.

[@colecampbell6290]

Jumping straight from 190 to 215 is tough! Tried 240 and was using all arm 😅

[@failuretolaunchdrums]

Great video. Thank you!!! Just in time

[@BuzzGarwood]

Great idea - gonna add this to my routine.

[@luigifestante6469]

Very good 👍🏻

[@bobweber4140]

Thanks rob

[@failuretolaunchdrums]

Might do 2x 2x 2x 4x as trying to go for endurance and speed… great video again

[@jedidrummerjake]

195 is as fast as I can go but gotta have a good night's sleep and breakfast! ❤

[@pacquinappiah8736]

Good to see you

[@kellyyetter1355]

I was always down with some speed work. Until I grabbed a circular saw blade and almost lost 3 fingers. I'm back playing but it's just not the same. Not looking for pity. Imy grateful to still be able to play. All glory to God.

[@Mityob67]

Work it bro

[@StoyanStoyanov88]

Very cool exercise ❤

[@ludwell01]

Another good video/drill. Could I ask what metronome(app?) you are using on the laptop?

[@Bradwick1]

Endurance and speed are highly dependent on low stick height.🥁

[@Larz1000000]

Rob, this seems like a nice alternative to 'Chicken on a roll'.

[@analogkid4557]

I can do about 260 but I am a death metal drummer. I suck at double strokes, though, lol!

[@ignacioperezdelcastillo3182]

💪💪

[@ignacioperezdelcastillo3182]

Gracias

[@travelbydragonfly]

As a relatively new drummer, and old guy, those sixteenths seem impossible to me, especially for my weak hand. How many minutes of practicing single strokes would you recommend per day? thanks for your videos

[@seraeirian2]

Can I just call you Flam? 😂 TY for all the great vids.

[@rudy73000]

Wahoo !🤙

[@cablezilla]

So are now playing matched grip in favor of traditional?

[@rob-442]

Flamuel L Jackson...love it! Great exercise Rob. What metronome are you using on that laptop? I can't seem to find one that has the big numbers to the beat.

[@blujay9191]

Same question. The change of tone and color on the 'one' seems like it would let you concentrate on technique bettrer and just see the metronome out of the corner of your eye. I love the exercise too.

[@marvinmarsh3534]

I think it's Polynome, should be on the app store. I don't use apple devices so I'm not sure. I prefer a hardware metronome I can throw stuff at when I get frustrated, rather than try to fix phone screens. 😁

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

It’s ‘Click’ for iOS

[@ayoodunemmanuel]

what kind of metronome app do you use please share🙂🙃

[@krupadrum]

Traditional grip.. 😉

[@ianelliott518]

Were all slow coaches compared to Mr Mangini whos in the 16s at 260 for a minute universe, no fingers, try leading with you left too

[@Claes_Isacson]

⚡️🥁⚡️

[@mclekrell]

Do you also start with the left hand for good measure?

[@oppzxx]

what metronome app he using?? Someone let me know.👇

[@bengodwin4978]

Do you practice this with traditional grip as well

[@random32ndfan69]

Did you go back to matched grip or just for this drill?

[@robertbelanger6733]

160 was fine, 180 pushin’ it 200 nope not there yet🤷🏻‍♂️

[@killingfreak9782]

No fingers involved?

[@silasnielsen5764]

Easy :-) can go 250 maybe higher :-)

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Show off. You can really see the fingers on the fast one, 215.

[@elikebudi]

Flamologist 😂😂😂😂😂

[@maness2112]

I quit chasing ludacris speeds.

[@DadsYouTubeChannel330]

110bpm (finger and wrist) 32nd left and right leading 98bpm finger only 32nd note left and right leading Aiming for 120bpm (finger and wrist) by next month And 105 finger only

[@goodtimejohnny8972]

🚓🚨 Where's your license? 🪪 Since you already know your speed there is no fine this time Flamuel . Just try and keep it under control. And Flamuel, drum responsibly.👮‍♂️

[@65SSLUDS]

Yep great workout thank you brother. I am an old fart and my body is stiffening up so I will do this daily. BTW what is your metronome app and is it IOS ?
