this is my first time seeing Miles Talk lol

[@QuZyB]

You haven’t heard of his duts and screams? LMAO

[@lilromierome]

@@QuZyB Lol Nah I mean like actually SEE his mouth speaking words xD

[@QuZyB]

Oh lol xD

[@DanielMakesCadences]

Before this, I’ve mostly heard what he sounds like when he announced his piece for I&E so I had a general idea of what he sounded like

You don't know the half of it :)

Wouldn’t be a miles video if it didn’t have that ending.

[@503music6]

those dislikes disappoint me.

"Oh! wait wait wait we know"

[@PoohStickProductions]

It'd be neat for one of these videos to go over how to do a quick, clean, snappy (sound-wise) sticks in. 6 years of drumline and we've always just done it as fast as we can without hurting ourselves, and it's always quiet and lame.

[@Christian-pr6ft]

ABananaPeel you have to move your fingers out of the way. The sound comes from the sticks hitting eachother as they come together.

[@garrisonmack8256]

Finally! Your the best Miles! Love the channel too!

[@mylesragas5150]

You should do tutorials on some of the tenor music you played over the years.

[@TheQuadMethod]

We got one planned :) And it's a popular one

[@Little_minnie530]

Oh my word this helps so much

[@VolticNick]

I felt my technique was always a bit off on scrapes. Thanks for showing proper technique, plus the exercise! This should help me out tremendously!

[@Crowsiq_IV]

The quality of these videos never disappoint. Great work!

[@raylafleur6616]

I never realized how important it is to get the sticks back up to the original height. I think this is why I keep hitting my sticks/wrists together when I try to do crossovers!

[@johnreinhardt3772]

Love this channel :) good work quad method!

[@sup3414]

Finally. He's talks!!!

[@salvadorvilla7326]

Good stuff. More like this please.

Dave Weckl didn't become Dave Weckl by chance. It's called practice. This man is a perfect example of how apt you can become by committing yourself.

[@thomasnappo6309]

Your awsome...well done

[@YouCrossedMyPath]

Oh my gosh i actually figured out the infinity scrape pattern years ago, i feel smart

As a person who is auditioning tomorrow, this is deeply needed

Thank you dad

[@CalebDaThing]

Miles should be a drum instructor lol

[@TheQuadMethod]

He is! And he's great at it! He teaches at the Cavaliers and Academy drum corps as well as Breakthrough percussion in Arizona

[@Kirbyfire73]

Do you have any tips when it comes to incredibly fast scrapes/sweeps? Like sextuplets at 172 for example?

[@isaiahmumaw]

With all things music, play it slow and work your way up to it. It will never happen overnight.

[@salvadorvilla7326]

I happen to be totally blind, so the scrapes from 1-3 are with the right hand doing both strokes, and the 2-4 scrape is a left hand double correct? Correct me if I am wrong.

[@MrGreen2700]

These are great videos! And for everyone watching these to learn more about quad playing, I would highly recommend buying the book "Quad Logic" by Bill Bachman. It is a great book that starts with the basics such as holding the sticks, playing positions, tuning, reading quad music, etc. From there is goes into every thing you would need to know all the way up to and advanced level with some of Bills quad solos at the end. The book in combination with these videos would be a great way to learn and become a skilled quad player. The book teaches the things shown in the videos and gives some exercises related to topic, and these videos are a good way to see the visual demonstration and explanation of it. Great videos! keep it up!

[@featurce5017]

Where is that tenor practice pad from?

[@francis8104]

So when you take the speed up on your scrapes should you diddle the scrape or keep it all wristed out? (I’m a new tenor player if you couldn’t tell)

[@TheQuadMethod]

It should be very similar to how you play diddles on one drum at that particular speed. Typically, people oversqueeze and over work on scrapes. There should always be a wrist element to your rolls but its contribution will decrease as the tempo increases.

[@zackeryhatch436]

wait wait wait, we know

[@JulianKlimczyk]

What about when it gets too fast and you have to use the fulcrum rebound

[@TheQuadMethod]

Rebound is rebound. Speed is facilitated and built by utilizing the rebound you have. If you want to play faster, you have to let the stick bounce. Many people tend to over squeeze and choke the rebound which is why they have a hard time moving faster

[@ramirosilva2062]

Where did you get your practice pad?

[@amaanshaik9758]

Xymox

[@steampunkhulk5559]

What is considered a good double stroke ?

[@TheQuadMethod]

- Two notes that have the same open/relaxed sound quality, same volume, and are evenly spaced (based on the rhythm)

[@steampunkhulk5559]

@@TheQuadMethod this helps a lot, thanks

[@gunner-qf9eh]

The two dipsticks who disliked this should be required to put up their own vid and let's see them do better.

Separate not seperate...common mistake. Nice vid though.

Not being in drum Corp will make you look like a normal person again, yah
