Best Wrist Building Exercise On The Internet! 🔥🥁 (For Killer Singles)

[@chad-tacular]

He said “Flamuel L. Jackson” folks. I’m just mad I didn’t come up with it first. 🤣🤣🤣 And yes. The mechanics is so important. SO IMPORTANT!!!!!! Thanks again Rob. Per ALWAYS!

[@miguelruiz8183]

Rob the sticking work outs you gave us have made incredible progress in my playing after a year of doing them consistently. I can now do things I never imagined I could ever do. I'm 10x the player I've ever been. You have no idea how far your content has brought me!!!

[@jilips]

Ditto dude

[@cazmataz6579]

2 minutes of doing this...and I have instant results already 😮..you are awesome ❤

[@meahconnors]

This helped me so much thank you

[@josephrunningcrane]

Did this for a day and I’m already getting back the feel I had in my left hand a decade ago. Thanks, Rob! This is a great lesson!

[@kevinleboeuf5169]

I’m in! Gonna do this for the next 4 weeks and see my results ! Thanks Rob for great stuff as usual .

[@charlesparenteau9256]

I started my drumming journey a couple of months ago, and I have to say that M Brown is the most genuine individual and teacher I came across on KZbin and by far my favorite of them all. He definitely made a huge difference in how I approach my kit and how I spend my time practicing. Huge thank you from a fan.

[@robertthompson5568]

Rob is great! Stephen Taylor is a really good instructor as well.

[@mrskyzear]

i learned this when i went to a music academy for both tripplets and straights, we started the group practice with this before getting into the actual lesson and there was a seriously noticable difference for everybody when comparing from when we started to when we graduated. this is an insanely helpfull lesson

[@zeichner42]

Thanks for another great lesson! You are absolutely right that doing pad work away from the kit is really valuable. This makes for an efficient use of time, by working on technique when we would otherwise be sitting passively watching videos.

[@robhargis6980]

Rob, as another Rob, I'm a 60 year old guy who has been drumming for a number of years on and off. I'm in a band and want to become more fluid and professional sounding. I'm going to take your advise and start with this exercise. Thanks!

[@gorfilm]

done this exercise for 4 10-minute sessions through today, and after I got on the kit my hands felt more relaxed than they usually used to be, even for rimshots on 2 and 4 which I play instantly. Thanks again Mr Brown for great lesson, I feel motivated to do this for several weeks and see what happens :)

[@RS-vg5lu]

Fantastic exercise! It's fun to do, and I can't wait to see the results! Thank you for this.😊

[@brettthomson3689]

Good for building the internal clock too.

[@Bradwick1]

I like using Swiss triplets like this for a bar or two and shift the flam by using a single flam tap at the end to turn it over to the next accent in the triplet. Got to keep that foot going too.,

[@vredeedam9194]

I’m watching you and see Denzil, but i’m dutch😊 you’re clear and Nice to met. Thnx

[@Bobbroberg]

Great video ! exactly what I needed. My Moeller has me so screwed up. It’s weak when i get to higher tempos. It’s the rebound. I’m too reliant on it. but this help me fix what I already do instead of learning something totally new.

[@robertbradley5480]

Thanks for this. Your lessons are very much appreciated!

[@thomasnichol4138]

Thanks, Flamuel.

[@Cov3ringFire]

I will definitely be doing these. I have put off too long building my weak side (left) and this looks like a very good exercise for that. Thanks

[@robb7565]

Dude…. Looks like the exercise builds up the “ guns” too 💪🏻🥁

[@murrad01]

Rob has the best delivery of all the drum guys on KZbin

[@Drumming-Life]

Outstanding lesson. Thank you.

[@jgdevoe]

Love this. Making a big difference for sure.

[@Ricacardo]

This is great as this complements other wrist exercises I'm doing these days. At first I tend to want to let the stick bounce in these triplets but I'm really working hard on letting my wrist do the work

[@Pelipcahh]

You are an excellent teacher! I randomly stumbled upon your video and there is something about how you are both super passionate and also really laid back. Definitely subbing!

[@deepbluesilent]

Thank you for your great contet. Videos like this and others from you helped me so much with my hand technique and my flow around the kit.

[@fatbugz2919]

Oddly enough I'm solid on traditional, but always had a weak wrist when doing matched grip... this one exercise is changing that!! Thanks!!!🎉

[@georgeclark5813]

Right on brotha

[@mikuspalmis]

Haven't played in a while but I used to do this exact thing intuitively.

[@garyrynar3308]

Listen to this man folks

[@360rhythm6]

Cool a basic triplet grid with one hand.. definitely good for wrist control and transitions. I like gridding every rudiment I can. Cool Rob..

[@drumkick2315]

Thanks for that. I always had the feeling I am struggling with my wrist. Now I know. 👍 👍

[@huwykilgora8055]

Great exercise,Ray Luzier used it on his tuition video.

[@v12kid]

Adding this to practice immediately

[@kw2710]

Rob Brown! Thank you so much for the lessons and inspiration ! ! ! I am just getting started and have watched a ton of your videos. I love your energy and I love you. Keep rockin' and rollin' my friend ! ! !

[@valteraugusto6617]

I'll practice this on the congas,bongos and djembe

[@muzerino]

This is the most timely video! I’ve recently been having issues with my tennis elbow and overworking my wrist to compensate. Think as a beginner I need to go through your back catalogue of videos on proper technique.

[@HarryJoiner]

This channel is a gift

[@tomelizalde7838]

Syncopation book in background how cool is that !!

[@Plektrum1997]

It‘s literally part two of the stone killer out of Joe Morellos Master Studies, page 58 😄 Awesome exersises!

[@DragonCrestPC]

Cant wait to start using this. Thanks bro!

[@chriswardle9698]

This is it!! I’m gonna get on my sticks and pad and put my boy Flamuel L. Jackson on the tube…lol I’ve been watching your channel for over a year now and I feel like I’ve come a long way, although I might have bad habits to work on cuz I went from strummer 🎸 to drummer 🥁 and went right into a band…😬 but I know for sure I have a long way to go. But this is it, this exercise right here! I’m gonna do this at least 30 minutes a day! 😊 not too mention all the other awesome lessons! Thank you so much! 😊

[@frankmethuen5522]

I'm no chump, this is brilliant Mr. Brown! I'll be buyin' the T shirt too, thank you.

[@steverlord]

If you want to isolate the wrist, hold the stick in the center with all fingers wrapped around it. This forces no bounce and demands wrist movement.

[@andybrown78]

Love your stuff! As I hobbyist (side hustle/basic cover band drummer,) so much of your teachings have helped me! One example is Toto “Hold The Line.” Many of your previous videos on developing better singles and doubles, gave me confidence to mimic those fills for that song! Of course I’m also trying to get 1/10th of what Jeff Porcaro is doing!😂😂

[@dreamerrt216]

That's a kick ass song and incredibly difficult to play despite its seemingly simplistic groove.

[@andybrown78]

@@dreamerrt216 For sure!

[@jpow73]

Great video. Question, would doing the both hands at the same time adversely affect flam technique?

[@mat4410]

Similar to Stone’s Accents and Rebounds p.12-13. Was having a good laugh as I was doing the very same thing today as I’ve been for the past few weeks. YES! IT IS TRUE! There are two schools: Moeller and Gladstone. This is more Gladstone. NO IT IS NOT MOELLER! Great channel.

[@jemmace2586]

Great form Flamuel AS USUAL!! 👍

[@razorrawb]

I tried it and I already feel the burn in my forearms 🔥

[@robsmith5362]

I am just starting out on an e-kit and I do this for my own enjoyment - probably never will perform, but your vids are SO helpful! Really appreciate you. I just got a practice pad this weekend (because you said I had to) and it's great for those moments when I'm in a business meeting (remote - relax!) on mute while the big-wigs talk. Had to laugh when you suggested doing this during the sermon! My left hand is like a toddler learning to stand up compared to my right (it's barely learned to walk straight, mind you), but trying to accent the second (or third) beat of the triplet is CRAZY hard - plus I lose track of the count. But I'm working at it and your videos help tons. I WILL buy some 'merch' to support you. Keep it up.

[@joeg1323]

Great exercise. I'd like to know what the metronome is on the iPad?

[@eddadrummer9315]

My best teacher on you tube🙏🏾🙂

[@sPi711]

And then, as you're going through those alternating hand rhythms and moving the accents at will, take one hand out while not disturbing the rhythm of the other hand. Then reintroduce, etc. Then don't forget to take whatever ideas come out of this exercise, get your note paper out and write them down. Especially over various time signatures. Being able to write out your own music is probably the most important part of this.

[@tamaman1559]

Rob awesome lesson as always.... keep em coming brother!

[@lizardears4861]

I always return here for my drumming boot camp drills!

[@TeslaNick2]

Uncanny that you said "that's just moeller" as I was saying it in my head...!

[@pazenmaz]

Great drumming content as always thanks. What model of drumstick are you using here please?

[@DavidOakesMusic]

Now here is a lesson I could not WRIST-sist !!!

[@CampbellYoungblood]

Boooo

[@Ing.Portocarrero]

Hello, great video, somebody knows that metronome? I would like to try it out. Thanks.

[@bungeechord1]

Thankyou "Flamual"😎😎

[@benjaminolsen8774]

Nice work, rob

[@CoraStanley-ue7rw]

I'm on board, I look forward to the fruits.

[@peterevans366]

Great lesson ❤

[@richardliles4415]

Thank you, I’ll try it.

[@primslim620]

This exercise went from beginner to advanced right when you introduced the "stagger" concept of using both hands--one accent chasing the other a sixteenth note behind. Nice. Definitely going to give this a go--from the beginning. My man Flamuel. ;)

[@Fletcheraabram]

I love your wrist tutorials. But when I practice my pad I can only practice about ten minutes before I need to step away how do I get in solid long practice on the pad without getting frustrated

[@dashwig]

Killer exercise indeed. Especially playing it in unison: feels almost a bit dull at the very beginning, but is much harder to keep up with as it seems, especially at higher tempo. But the effect when playing the kit is huge. Just make sure to keep it really easy in the beginning and not go to hard and fast, especially on the pad. But that's the key to everything isn't it ;-)

[@billfallon2372]

Did you alternate hands on that last one or play them together?

[@Eeper]

Hey rob, have a question for you and a concern for myself. I’ve been playing drums for about 15 years or so now. I play in a “successful” touring band and I am fairly adequate at playing. The problem is I don’t know what I’m doing and I KNOW I have bad technique from being self taught and basically learning to play by just playing if that makes sense. I’ve never fully learned rudiments. My question is where do I start or how do I start practicing at this level of drumming? I really want to have good technique to prevent injury and to just get better. I feel like I’m reaching a plateau. Thanks rob!

[@chriscooper9290]

Hey beatdown! Not sure if you look at these but had a quick question. I'm just starting to learn new sticking's and was wondering the reason for sticking's. If I look at a R L L R sticking, can i infer that the left side of the drum I will do R L and on the right side of the kit I will do a L R? Prob a dumb question, but wanted to ask. Love your vids man!

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Any new sticking will serve you several ways. As a repetitive exercise to develop a particular mechanic, a pad warmup, or way to expand your vocabulary by distributing the sticking around the kit for new fills, grooves or phrasings.

[@garyrynar3308]

What kind of sticks are you using

[@dianaperez5058]

Nice timer system, how is this achieved?

[@antonioalmanza1790]

great vid! please would you tell me whats the name of the app(metronome) on your ipad? thnxs indeed🤙

[@kritical485]

Thanks for the lesson. What app is that on your ipad?

[@bigalinbc4075]

So simple yet so effective!

[@malinwj1167]

"...IT"S NOT!" lol Rob putting the 'beat' down

[@DickvanDriel-y3u]

Thanks Rob! As always another very useful lesson!

[@syjwg]

Also move that (right) hand to the Hi-hat, cymbal, floor tom, etc.

[@adsurf89]

Is there a reason for holding traditional so far back?

[@rainsong7327]

Hey Rob I have been watching drum videos for a long time. You and Dom Famularo are my favorite videos to learn and get inspiration from. Did you ever meet Dom?

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Gosh, man. I WISH 😔 That dude was just a big ball of positivity. RIP Dom 🕊️

[@davidlatimer3091]

What sticks are you using?

[@robertthompson5568]

I rarely see "grid work" in triplet form. (Thnx Rob)

[@HankNinja]

Holding the sticks farther back than usual? Got that early ‘90s Weckl look today. Thanks Flam’

[@robertbelanger6733]

Awesome Thanks again🤘🏻🥁

[@leandroconte2690]

7:37 how naturally you switch back to traditional haha.

[@drraymond57]

Random question.......what app are you using for the metronome? I can't find one that looks and behaves like the one in this video.

[@mikeadams8708]

Thank you. 🥁🥁🥁

[@jswitch2]

Gonna use this on the feet also...

[@azmanawang2119]

Greetings from Malaysia, what size is your drum stick?

[@dwaynewladyka577]

That's a very good lesson. Very helpful. Cheers, Rob! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🥁

[@jazzban]

I've.been doin this for a long time just doubling the strokes in a 16th triplet form square or swung. Applies for the feet too🤌

[@alanekland2777]

Hey Mr Brown, love your channel, teachings, attitude, etc. So I'm going for my next Snare upgrade. So i'm going to spend between $200.00 and 450.00. I'm looking at Ludwig Supraphonic, or like a Tama Tama SLP Series G-Bubinga 14x6.5 Do you have any other suggestions? I play everything from Rock, soul, funk, fusion to Rock, soul, funk, fusion. No Country. Also, it's not Moeller because you're not bopping your elbows around. :-) that's closer to something Jim Chapin showed me. I happened to catch him on one of his teaching tours. Such a wealth of info that guy, may he r.i.p..

[@bodhi9464]

Thanks Rob ~ love your work Flamuelle 🥁 God bless you mate. 🇦🇺 🎶

[@markmitchell4451]

Excellent lesson Rob!… will definitely help the weak hand too…😎🥁

[@PeteRamos7]

Great video Rob!

[@adonisman808]

What metronome app is that

[@doramu]

What metronome app you used in this video?

[@wscme]

Hi, I just found your channel, and I am inspired. I'm not a drummer but I do have a set of drums. I also gave you a follow ❤

[@erlandnatanaelson1929]

Hello I try this one! =)
