Metal Drumming Warmup Exercise

[@66Samus]

You can also try this with your feet :)

When I was a music instructor I encouraged them to add accents! I also think it makes it way more fun. Straight up rudiments can get tiresome quickly. You can use this for way more than just wanting up metal! Love your content Samus!

[@tom_something]

I used to take drum lessons. I'd completely forgotten how much it used to kill my forearms... until I watched this video. I can feel the burn just by watching this. It gets less severe over time, in part because the muscles get stronger and also the muscle memory develops to more efficiently use the rebound energy. But I didn't practice enough.

[@aeterna_victrix]

Timeless Derek Roddy practice routine

[@jordanmartens5591]

I'm a lifelong musician who is just now introducing drums. The amount that it's helping my song writing can not be overstated. It's changing my music big time

This is a great exercise for all drum types. I can keep up until 16th notes, I am not at that quality, consistency and speed yet 😆 Thanks for posting 🤘

Love this exercise, I saw it in Derek Roddys Evolution of Blast beats, and it fucking works lol. Literally this, then same with feet, then in unison. Improve speed and stamina and has been my go speed/blast beat advice when I talk to people. Glad to see you doing and showing it to more people ☺️☺️

I enjoyed taking ‘roll strolls’ when I marched competitively. It’s either a duple or triplet based roll, while marching around the football field track for a mile. Or.. just set a timer for ten minutes and see if you can play a clean, eviscerating, saw you in half roll without any dirt in there. :)

I remember when I was on drumline in middle and high school early 00s we had an extremely similar warmup, we called it Eighths. Basically what you did here, 8L 8R x2, then did 16th notes and also included paradiddles, flams, flamadiddles. Good times.

Id guess you usually do 11 different patterns for 2 minutes each just to practice for 22 minutes in total 😆

Good things to practice too are keeping your tasset hand steady and low so it’s ready to play. If you’re already playing well but you want to be even just a little faster, being more efficient with where your hands are in between stuff make a huge difference.

[@tshensley]

I don't know if it's been said before, but you remind me of a metal Weird Al, which to me is a compliment! Keep banging, man!

[@WoodsPrecisionArms]

@@66Samus no problem man - much deserved - I really like you use electric because you are showing what’s possible with them- especially the technical hard hitting double bass and ungodly fast fills - I started to love drums just building the damn electric sets so my playing ability is far behind the knowledge of how they work - if that makes sense - I just built a kit so we practicing. I am going to go and do what you did and get a complete double bass setup instead of the dual pedal - I can’t get the triggering right for some reason

[@hanavolta9785]

To add to the 16th notes you can do, what my HS perc. director called, moving the grid. Basically while you're playing the 16th notes, accent every down beat for 2 measures, then accent the second 16th note for every beat, then the third(eighth note/upbeat) then the fourth, and then just repeat once or twice, making sure your tempo is rock solid. Really good for exercising your inner metronome and making sure you stay on beat even when you're playing syncopated rhythms that don't land on 2 & 4 like standard drum patterns usually do.

Drummers are fucking amazing. I am a musician. I’ve played French horn in an orchestra. Dabbled in piano most of my life. Vocalist since I was a child. Playing guitar daily. But drumming? I guarantee this is a thing I can’t do. I just know myself well enough. This takes so much hard work and determination and I already suck with rhythm. I’m forever impressed with drummers and their ability to add so much to music. Without a beat, music is no where near as interesting. You have my respect and respect from the rest of the musician community. Sex.
