This might be the HARDEST thing I can play on the drums

It's such a simple concept, but my friggin goodness is it a challenge to get it up and running. Our puny human brains aren't meant to do this.

This is one of the hardest things I can’t play

[@PoorvaSharmaMusic]

Amazing

[@russbode449]

So cool! I saw Garstka do this on “slayin on twitch” and very much peaked my interest. Thanks for breaking it down, I was having a hard time even slowing it down. You’re a wealth of knowledge and super talented man keep ‘em coming!

[@agustinihidoype]

Lol it happened the exact same thing to me. Garstka is god

[@justhadrums]

All of the true badasses can do this - I can't. Great explanation and lesson on getting started trying to get it down - this is great! Thanks for this

[@tillg3974]

there is an exercise in one of gary chaffee's about those different hand foot conbinations in triplets and 16th. it's crucial to my independence

[@bdespain11]

Everything you just played... was badass! Sounded soooo gooood! Thank you for the lesson, hope everything is well.

[@jsmith5278]

Fantastic. The whole room shakes.

[@markielinhart]

As a newbie I thought this was just my own inadequacies, it’s mighty reassuring that you, the experienced ones, have had this same issue. Feel better now 👏🇦🇺✌️

[@amazinkjosh]

Valuable lesson!

[@kahok5ownage]

In marching bass drums we call these hand-to-hands, I've started calling them hand to feeds when applied to drum set. Such a hard rhythm to split whether it's between two people or your hands and feet.

[@williamperri3437]

It was 1 of my daily warm ups in the 90's and I had an advantage on most people playing in hardcore bands with that back and forth groove being common.

[@zumb42]

You can also use double paradiddle, paradiddle-diddle, and a bit more difficult, double stroke paradiddle..All combine with bass drum.

[@TomPompei]

Great video man! I first saw the hand/foot splits from Thomas Pridgen in one of his Drumeo lessons. I swear just working on them for like 10 minutes a day, I've seen major improvements in almost all aspects of my drumming.

[@DaveFromVh1]

Props on these, also we kno you’ve been secretly practicing blastbeats too..

[@JoshMerhar]

Crankin em out at 420 bpm

[@ARDrummer]

Very cool concept!

[@emandrums8433]

Love these lessons man!

[@dbmdrums1105]

Nice the last one rocked 👌👌.

[@israelcrawford8734]

this lesson is amazing man

[@majkl9978]

Thanks man, really cool

[@NIKKO500]

You are a beast

[@seventhquarter]

Wow... That actually brings out a double bass effect, especially with your right hand stroke on the floor tom... ...so simple in theory, yet requires much practice to smoothen it out... I found it very interesting...👍

[@truejungian]

that snare sounds fire

[@kimbeomcheol]

You are my best teacher👍🏻

[@jean-philippelasalle]

I love it and I feel guilty for never having practices it a lot in my life... I play drums for almost 30 years now!!! But it is something that I'll look in my practices...

[@hannesdrumss]

This just screams Matt Garstka, I love shredding this - need to build my speed though.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

That's a killer independence exercise. Noice! Is this little bit making it into a Vitamin Sun song? It'd be cool to hear the context as handled by the OTHER musicians since you seem to have it down pretty well.

[@JoshMerhar]

I do some slightly slower splits as part of a groove in the song "Backwards Dog." I'll bust 'em out in a fill sometimes when we play live, too. I'm sure they'll work their way into other parts in the future...

[@RaphHwang]

I think that one of the originators is Buddy Rich and/or Tony Williams

[@miguelsaavedrums]

Check out the song Liberty by Tony Williams

[@dkijc]

You either lied or you bought more rack toms. ;) Love your vids mate. Thank you!

[@tubular167]

Yes..some of the best limb seperation exercises going..thomas lang workout stuff...and others...all great😁💯✅

[@NelsonGast]

This video is really fun at double speed 😊

[@davidkempf9726]

I am pretty sure that the cracked crash will be replaced by Meinl, once you place a warranty claim.

[@thejoeldanger]

If you haven't seen Ronald Bruner Jr do this on the Memphis Drum Video, do yourself a favor and check it out. It's the fastest I've seen it in a fill 💥🤯

[@alonzovillarreal4666]

Very Vinnie like!

[@tdrum21]

Very nice. This is always a tricky one. I have students work on it with all subdivision pyramid up & down with quarter hi hats. What’s the white on your floor Tom?

[@JoshMerhar]

That's a cut out ply from an old head. It helps lower the pitch of the floor tom and cuts some unwanted overtones, too.

[@Lokarter]

I remember Aaron Spears did this in his Beyond the Chops dvd.

[@DevouredByWolves]

WHAT DID YOU PLAY at 12:22 HOLY DAMN???

[@JoshMerhar]

A bunch of 16th triplets. A few different 6 and 9-stroke patterns strung together.

[@manosliapakisthestormrider8099]

You forgot Thomas lang 😁 Amazing

[@paulboutin7191]

I’ve tried a flam w/the kick as the tap. It’s a bitch to alternate.. it’s sounds more applicable in actual music, similar concept

[@banjomango145]

wow and this for free?

[@Jayell61]

FonTOStic!

[@Drummerman02]

Maison is the best
