Great stuff man! I dig your "no BS" approach all the while passionately sharing personal and useful applications to these exercises! Cheers from Montreal. P.S. Long Live the Paradiddles!

I appreciate that! Thanks a lot! Ive got a new Paradiddle Video coming out really soon so look out for that.

There once was a band called Kool and the Gang. They went though a few drummers. One of them taught me this exercise in '86. I was practicing it today when your video started up on the tv. Now I KNOW my Alexa is spying to me.

As of today, I have the accents exactly where I wanted them, without struggling, after a 6-month 90-minute day of hardcore paradiddle training with no accents - it's been that way ever since. Yay. And yes, Dave's video popped up just in time💯.... 🗿 ... um

👍 and subbed. Great video @DaveMajor

I enjoyed your lesson. Forty plus years of arthritis, a base of my spine injury ( Armed forces ) , two strokes and left ankle fusion gone wrong I have been trying to retrain my brain by learning a few basic rudiments but I find it so difficult to repeat any process. My head is the most frustrating. Trying to learn simple techniques is daunting because what seems simple to most ends up being complicated and nigh impossible. I am a new subscriber and will try to impliment your teaching. Thanks for making things so watchable.

You are welcome mate. The brain is the hard part! Take it slow and make sure to count out loud. Delegate the 'slowness' to a metronome with all the notes in it i.e a 16th click vs a 1/4 This means even 20bpm is playable Slower = better. Always!

The secret is learning moeller technique and getting very good at it and then applying it to the single paradiddle and practice practice practice then it will come

Paradiddle =drumming

Hi Dave, have you tried the exercises in the "Dave Tough" Paradiddle book?

@DaveMajor

I haven't but just had a quick look and I've done a lot of similar things over the years 👊👊

FFS chapter marking would be good.

I think this is a good video but you seem to forget that beginners find this useful too. Try to do some slow motion clips as well. That's would be helpful to us.

Noted! I'll try and include slower sections next time

58 years young and picked up drumsticks to build injured wrist ( my weak left side broke it twice ). Does the fast fingers eventually come with practice..or am I too old..lol.

The fingers do come eventually but take time. Make sure you have your hands in the right position and then put in the reps. I have a course on my website all about hand technique and i get into hand position, setup and fingers in that 👊

Thanks mate. How are you coping with all this? Family ok?

Sir, how many days should you exercise?❤

@DaveMajor

7 ай бұрын

As many as you can in a week. If it's a case of moving on....then i'd set a goal tempo that you would be proud of at the start. If you start an exercise at 60bpm then 90 would be amazing! So work until you achieve that. All this comes into practicing smarter not harder and that's what my website - www.davemajormusic.com is all about. You can check it out if you like or grab a couple of my free courses.

Unclear what you said about Moeller and why you love paradiddles.

@DaveMajor

4 ай бұрын

Moeller is a motion that Stanford Moeller named. It's in a lot of rudiments naturally such as the paradiddles. So by learning the paradiddle youll actually learn and develop moeller technique

Because they aren't.....sorry, had to ❤️

Zero Fs Given 🤣 You are right though they aren't as important as developing feel, sound, time etc but of all the rudiments I think they give a lot of benefit.

Jost is the eternal joker 🤣

I think that all the KZread vids showing paradiddles up to 300 BPM NEVER play the accent. It's like cheating because it sets your hands up for the coming strokes. Yes, a true paradiddle is accented on the 1st stroke, but in competition, the accent is left out. And for personal training, the acceent should be left out to prevent the impression of false progress.
