How come instant man? I feel like I have 2 left hands...literally can't do it!🤣

This is one lesson that I would really like an in-person teacher for.

[@insertmetalusernamehere]

I'm starting to see how important an in person teacher can be. I need feedback on what I'm doing and youtube can't give me that.

[@RandySeverino]

So many drummers are self taught and get bad habits that are difficult to correct. My father Frank Severino jazz Drummer and good friend of Freddie Grubber Taught me these techniques when I was 10, it’s a shame so many drummers don’t know about it . I’m actually surprised this isn’t common knowledge. Get a good teacher . Especially to learn the basics

[@carlosrrr2011]

Not only a tutorial, but a history class, thank you really!

[@Rockin_Ross]

Beautiful. The Moeller Book is (IMO) an essential addition to any drummer’s library. What seems so easy really isn’t when you try to adapt it to your kit. Great stuff here Sir!

[@SopranoPizzaJMFNJ]

Chapin Book?

[@EliasVodka]

5:50 i love how he talks with the tempo

[@chipgaasche4933]

Why? It's more difficult to speak in contrary rhythms.

I've been playing for years and I was never able to grasp this technique until now. Amazing video

[@mrthundaboots]

I had one lesson with this cat. He's got it together and changed my playing a lot. Thanks Bruce!

[@tim8247]

Great video, I've just started playing. It appears I have been trying to do this the hard way. I let it bounce more or less properly when I'm playing fast, but just play harder when I'm slower to get the same effect. Instead of letting the stick bounce I'm doing all the work. Can't wait to try this on my drums. Thanks.

[@DeeloGoodquest]

My great great grandfather was a 13 year old drummer boy in the War of 1812 @ the Battle of New Orleans.

[@alextalbot212]

Awesome this is where I’ve been going wrong. Thanks for the clear understanding. I know my playing will improve with this technique in my practice. Thank you for posting

I love you guys, but man you have been trailing this course! But Bruce is a total genius and I will be getting involved in the course

[@untilim2535]

I would usually skip the intro and get straight to the main thing but the way he explained it just got my attention! Nice! I like how relax your arm. My arm is in so much stress after playing. will try this later. - I'm new in playing drums but been my dream for so long.

[@ChrisPhoenixMusic]

Wrist snap technique is how it all comes together. Anyone notice how his speech became rhythmic while he was playing? Great vid. I'll be bringing this up with my students. Thanks, Bruce!

[@fivebyfivesound]

Great lesson! You're a brilliant educator.

[@lucianisidro]

Even though I am a wooden kick beater, half-time hi-hat, tom-thumping, rim-shot neanderthal, this is good stuff. When I practice something like this and it starts to make me feel nauseous, I know I am making progress and it will definitely help me with my ghost notes and perhaps that very occasional dazzling jazzy fill I like to throw in, both of which most people seem to ignore anyway. I guess I will need to set up a bucket next to my snare drum. Thank you!

[@Quipstiley]

As a side benefit, good technique lubricates the eyes. That’s why he doesn’t need to blink.

[@adityatyagi4009]

Brilliant drummer, musician, and teacher.

[@steves2176]

Beautiful explanation and example! Very beneficial method! Takes a while to get down but go slow and burn it in and you'll really recognize the difference in efficiency, power, speed and control!

[@florentjendrysiak3396]

Great lesson ! I'm a beginner and I struggled with that hand motion, but this video really unlocked it for me, thanks !

Damn, after three years of playing I'm just learning of this? lol... This is awesome... Just what I need to take my technique to levels unknown... Bruce is a GREAT teacher...

I played along with you and practicing the quarter notes made me notice the difference on the upstoke and gave me a better feel for the Moeller technique altogether.

Sure will check it, man. I actually follow Jojo Mayer, his way of teaching technique appeals to me the best.

[@deepseadrumz1]

Thanks Bruce!

[@andrewgander]

Great Bruce - thanks!

[@txdrmr]

I've always thought that the upstroke was caused by the downward stroke (rebounding of the stick striking the pad.) This explanation/video shows that I've had it backwards which is why I never spent much time on it. At least the videos I've watched in the past explained it that way. Basically that you start with the hand/stick striking down first causing the rebound to "lift" the stick and repeat. Of course, I could just be an idiot and interpreted it way wrong. This is great! Thank you for posting, I think I might have actually learned this FINALLY!!

[@sophiavenita]

Awesome demo. Thanks!

[@TheodoreDorado]

I find this man's voice and subsequent vocal delivery exceptionally soothing. And Steve Jobs? Nah dude, clearly we should be honored to receive grip technique from the former captain of the Federation flagship U.S.S. enterprise, Captain Jean Luc Picard (aka bearded Patrick Stewart). My technique is what's gonna live long and prosper after this advice.

[@BigAndyB1029]

First of all, loved the video and explanation of Moeller. Thanks for the information! I had a question though about the grip. Is there a difference in control by having the pivotal rotation at the middle finger vs. the pointer finger? My lesson teacher in college always had me use the pointer for the rotation point and I've been playing that way ever since. I studied more of a classical route, so would Moeller be applied more for a drum set grip these days, or did I just learn a different approach? Thanks in advance for the input!

Rolling shutters and drumsticks is so funny. It's like watching someone play with slightly cooked pasta. Great video and thanks for your time.

[@Venuevideos]

Great vid. The most important lesson here is that he didn’t touch that drum kit once. So many beginners start by diving into the deep-end behind a kit. Start with the basics and learn proper stick technique before trying to boil the ocean.

[@jean-marcmanning4574]

Brilliant thank you

Thank you.

[@torbjrnengan3689]

Thanks. Very clear teached. Trying to get comfortable with such a loose grip ! Playing the sixteenth's , i think the 3rd is a rebound , which leads to the upstroke before repeat ...

[@marcbrasse747]

I'm not a drummer but I have rammed in quite a few tracks. Wish I'd seen this years ago, if only to understand the dynamics of drumming better.

[@jjpopnfresh6822]

I love that DW kit

[@Somnifer]

Wonderful.

[@stephanycrestwood4943]

Cool thank you

[@mattfuller641]

during his 16th note at 60 bpm example, it doesnt appear feasible to even out the dynamics of the three hits following his initial strike. I am very new to drumming and have been practicing double strokes with rebound. I am learning that to have even volume on the rebound stroke of the double, you snap the stick back down with your fingers. So, Is even volume 16ths possible with this technique? or can it only be accented? does anyone know? Cheers everyone!

[@patrickmcleod111]

As you went through your 'upper body anatomy checklist', I think I may have finally discovered why I'm having difficulties with drumming... I don't appear to have these things you referred to as "elbows". I just have one 3.5 foot long bone between my shoulders and hands, with none of those so-called "hinges" in between! Lol. Just kidding. Seriously though, not having elbows would actually give me a more justifiable excuse for not getting my bounces down with consistency and timing....

[@bobc.5698]

This is true. Try to get Bonham triplets to sound tasty without the arm movement especially on the left arm.

[@goldendragon759]

Listening is the most important technique.
