Stanton really knows how to bring the life out of a snare drum. Great groove, will definitely be practising this one!

[@hotmilkstudio5721]

Phenomenal instruction and outstanding playing. More importantly, this straightforward methodology of expanding upon a simple idea through changes in voicing demonstrates that any sticking pattern can lead a drummer down so many interesting routes. Stanton shows that you really can get Moore for Less! :-)

[@playingwithsticks6819]

Waiting for years for my breakthrough moment - just found it. This series has revolutionized my playing. Opened a whole new world - cannot recommend highly enough

[@chsemaphor]

Why? Or how?

[@playingwithsticks6819]

@@chsemaphor Yeh I was probably a bit over the top with that comment - but over the last year or two Ive felt my playing was more mechanical than musical. im no great drummer just a very average suburban sort who uses paradiddles a lot. Going through the exercises on this released a ton of creativity around the kit and for the first time I could feel the musicality of what I was playing- thats what I meant by "new world'" I liken it to a classical musician who has just found the freedom of Jazz perhaps. It could be that it was just the next stage in my natural development as a player but it just happened to be the key that unlocked it all

[@derrickj.holmes8330]

This guy is excellent. I’m so glad I found Stanton. He’s playing and teaching exactly what I want to learn and play in a way I can understand and keep up with. Excellent videos! Will sign up for his classes.

[@jonasbarros47]

This is amazing! for me one of the best teachers I've found online .. Thanks a lot Stanton!

[@gerdmeyer9247]

Thank You greetings from germany

[@jdurfer]

This is great stuff. Thank you for sharing. I really appreciated the details.

[@robertocalderonabogado1427]

Great job Mr. Moore. I´m really enjoying this weekend learning and practicing this lesson. Hope one day you do a show in Ecuador.

[@stantonmooremusic]

Thank you! I hope to make it to Ecuador! 🙌🏼

[@sharmatime]

wow.... i am going to use this to freshen up so old groves. Thank you so much for this video... Application of stickings are more important than the stickings... and wonderful stories!

[@CookingwithSpoonz]

You can hear your beautiful hands so clearly when you play zig’s rlrl as the check pattern in hey pocky way and then go into the Johnny v thing. For someone just learning this stuff, getting those two patterns to cycle and feel the same is a gateway to really zone out on, if anyone out there is working on this stuff too. Dude, your flow is so inspiring!

[@RedeyePerc]

Another great lesson Stanton! So many things to work on.

[@andreapappas8540]

That was fun!

Amazing teaching. Completely mind blown. Thank you!

[@stantonmooremusic]

🙏🏼Thank you!

[@richardpine8011]

Needed an uptempo swampy train beat with a bit of swing for a tune, this has been a great sticking to mix into a standard train beat and has really livened up the track. Great lessons Stanton!

[@d.d.b.5228]

Fn crazy. Interesting. thanx for the vid, have to try it

[@hughjarse4242]

[@hauntedhose]
