oh man I am enjoying this exercise SO MUCH! I also LOVE the fact you sit through it and narrate it wisely. You are onto something here, man. I have been doing this exercise for a week, every day, starting the double with my WEAKER hand and tapping my weaker foot (left, in my case) The difference is noticeable in matter of minutes, y'all! Can't wait to see what happens in a few months! Woo-hoo!! :) Cheers, Rob, keep 'em coming! Matt, Montenegro

Yeah, I switch between starting hands every 5 minutes. Another variation is to play the double starting on the upbeat, so that the second stroke lands on the down beat. Starting with both hands. Maybe for the second 10 minutes.

Rob, I must tell you that this was one of the most effective exercises for me. I have struggled with my long rolls (doubles) for a long time. Although I practice a lot, the struggle persisted. (I practice more for physical and mental therapy, I am closer to 80 than 70, and have rare occasion to perform. Most of my drumming over the last 60+ years has been with fife & drum corps. But, when I can, I love to work on my set-drumming). My variation of your exercise is that I do it at 120 bpm for about 10 - 15 minutes with a pair of Cooperman Parley rosewood sticks (100 grams + each). Then another 10 minutes or so with a pair hickory 3S style sticks at the 120 bpm. Staying with these sticks, and for about ten minutes each tempo change, increase up to 140 bpm then 150 bpm. I sometimes end the practice session doing about ten minutes with a pair of set-drumming sticks, maybe 5B’s? Thank you for your videos - I believe they are great. Also, I received your ‘Traditional’ T-shirt, which I had ordered before you change back to matched grip! Probably a good decision on your part. But you really looked cool playing traditional. -Joe

I'm now doing research on this "discipline" and scientists have given is a VERY COOL NAME . . . . . Psychomotor Vigilance. This is a "thing" and it can be trained - from fighters to pilots, and from musicians to videogamers. We are now studying and measuring it.
