[@jezcladdakajc.mtdrums8677]

Yeh, no problem. I agree, pupils are always asking how to practice...

Get's rid of distractions, starts exercise, Knock on the door, UPS with new drum heads and cymbal pack...

Was searching in KZbin for advices for the Stick Control book and found this video. What a nice surprise! Derek was my first drum teacher and it's nice to see these kind of contents. Hope to have some classes with you again, Derek!

good tips on how to practice. i am going to buy the moon gel practice pad, because it is somewhat silent. and it probably build the wrist for a good rebound. thank you derek

[@dereksdrumchannel]

Hey Jody! Thank you! I´m glad the video helped you! The moongel is a very special practice pad / tool. Have fun with it 🙂

[@drumsjuan8986]

I use that same metronome app, "Pro Metromome", very good

[@dereksdrumchannel]

Yes! I like it, too. But I think the new version is only available with an annual subscription........which I don´t like :-(

Sensible advice here. Ty

[@dereksdrumchannel]

Hey Mark! Thank you!

[@thierry4123]

Hey Derek Danke für das Video. Eine Frage noch: Wieso empfiehlst Du die Marchin Sticks, statt normaler Drum Sticks? Gruss aus der Schweiz

[@dereksdrumchannel]

Hallo TH! Ich mag die Kombination MoonGel-Pad und dickere (schwerere) Drumsticks um Kraft und z.T. auch Geschwindigkeit zu entwickeln. Meistens übe ich aber fast alle Pad-Übungen auf verschiedenen Oberflächen (diverse Pads, Snaredrum,....) mit unterschiedlichen Sticks - z.B. mit meinen regulären Drumset-Sticks auf der Snaredrum...... Hilft Dir die Antwort? Danke für´s Anschauen! Viele Grüße aus Berlin, Derek

[@mathias841]

Hi, thanks for your video ! I have a problem though to read the flam section, as the 'f' does not define if it's the right or the left hand doing it.

[@dereksdrumchannel]

Hey Math las! On the bottom of page 16 in the book the notation for the flams is explained: "F" means right-hand-flam - so the right hand plays the main accented stroke and the left hand is playing the flam (grace note) and the "F with the circle" around the letter means the opposite.......hope this answer helped!? Thanks for watching the video!

[@mathias841]

@@dereksdrumchannel thanks a lot, I missed the information ! Thanks for the answer

[@Tombonator3000]

Hi, can you please explain what you do with the temposheet? Does the metronome gradually speed up? How often? Thanks!

[@dereksdrumchannel]

Hey Thomas! I use the tempo sheet to speed up step by step and having a sort of guideline in what steps I will speed up. Of course feel free to find your own steps (for example 5 beats faster etc). And I do this (speeding up) when I feel it´s time to go faster. So when I have the feeling one tempo is mastered and I am ready to go on.......makes that sense to you? All the best! Derek

Das Denglisch hat alles gekillt. Aber waren eigentlich alle Sachen gut im Video.

[@dereksdrumchannel]

Na, da bin ich ja froh, dass der Inhalt rübergekommen ist! Mein Denglisch wird trotz Netflix und Co nicht besser, sorry! ;-)
