Great job buddy!! You have crazy skills at such a young age. Don't ever stop playing and I'm sure you know but I'll say it always use those techniques musically. Live it right and playing drums and music will be a hell of a ride. No pun intended!!!

You make it look so easy, and of course, it’s not. Great job. 🙂👍

Amazing drummer, great technique!! BTW, I also have those pencil sticks! A present from one of my students. Thank you so much Reuben, you're a great teacher also.

Thank you. That also explains how the re-grip keeps the stick in your hand instead of flying off over the drum. Beautiful.

i remember seeing this when i was like 16-17 and i was astonished - esp when your updated new video came out - around 2020-2021 and now i'm getting better but i cant forget stuff like this that helped me so much along the way

Hey Rueben, great brushwork!

Thank you, Reubin. Very nice presentation. Clear, concise, effective - now if I could just find those sneakers at the mall...

Damn. I'm so glad I discovered YOU !!!! I'm a huge buddy rich fan along with Dick Cully and Joe Ascione. You are an amazing young man and I will certainly be following and keeping an eye out for you!!!! My name is Jeff Bennett. Thanks Man!

Love T-Willie reference As a awe struck kid , met him after his show at the bar..Offered to buy him a drink, ordered top self cognac… wow but least I could do… Great man. Jeff Hamilton? Didn't know he was still making it happen … that mention of yours brings me back to a lesson with him way back in the 80s. I Had no clue - all he worked on with me was my stick bounce on the ride. A very patient and cool guy... loved seeing the brush work- a lost art- reminded me of Ed Thigpen.. ✌️

Nice work on the vid, Rueben. I really like how you break down the push pull by first showing it at full speed and then slowing it down to a great degree, so that the individual sub-movements can be put together.

Thank you, that explained why my push pull is so quiet. I'm doing the thumb version. Now I have to figure out what to change to get to the first version.

Fantastic

Love this video. Wish this guy was my next door neighbor. I'd mow his lawn and wash his car for free to get one on one lessons. Great job. And now, I prepare to be frustrated and mad at my hands for not being able to do the things he's doing here in this video. Practice. Practice. Then practice. All the while trying to maintain patience while trying to unlearn the bad habits I've developed over many years. Grrrrr…….

love your videos man. really informative. I've watch Modern Techniques god knows how many times but have still managed to learn things from this vid. Guess sometimes an off the cuff presentation style can help! Especially small tweaks and idiosyncracies at higher speeds to fulcrum etc that really make the technique work! Cheers

I see the push/pull mechanics at slow tempo, but when it speeds up ur fingers are practically still

Awesome video!! Thank you!

I had the JoJo Mayer DVDs for a while and this is the closest that I have seen on KZread. without the flamboyant Hollywood backdrop , you are presenting this wrong and with perfection. for KZread presenters , need to watch this and see that all the unnecessary backdrop it's definitely not necessary. especially, when you don't know what you're doing. Young man, you got it together. Keep it up!!

Thanks for posting this video; I have long been stuck at a single-stroke speed plateau and just started to dive deeper into different hand techniques. This video is incredibly helpful and inspiring in that regard. On the first push-pull you demonstrate, I notice that you’re using a middle-finger fulcrum with your index finger loose and pointing down. I checked out a Gordy Knudtsen video about push-pull and he uses an index-finger fulcrum. What are the advantages to using the middle finger rather than the index? Should I learn it one way, both, or just go with whatever feels most natural?

Great brushes work bruh

You r really teacher

What Camera are you using please, great job bro!!!

Encouragement to you; Exhaustive study into the (many) avenues of the techniques to play the one handed roll. This is why one is looking up this particular aspect on U tube,(one of the best teaching aids and tools to 'learn how to learn', pretty much anything). At the present, what brought oneself to look further into defining a grip both left and right, match and traditional, was developing 'feel' for up tempo swing, 400 bpm, smooth with feel, sustainable and enduring. 400 with the 5 stroke rolls and the rest of the trimmings, both left and right hand lead, with all the comping, ie (check out sacha k, advanced jazz beat combinations( basic jazz ride pattern, incorporating basic bass drum and snare combinations, as starting reference, and learning both left handed and right handed lead(this is ones personal quest)I see people 'talking about whatever goes for the left, goes for the right, but name but one who can play it left hand setup exactly the same dynamic setup right handed,( not many if any). The truth is, one will always favor one side more then the other.(there is a old proverb that says; know, that no man or woman can serve two masters; they will prefer one over the other. In drums though it is case of striving to achieve an evenness and continuity dynamic wise between the left and right. No greater example is this experienced in the exercise of learning to play a decent 'single stroke roll'. In the case of Up tempo swing, At 300, this is the standard. However there are scary cats out there, swing-in at 400, and with crazy good feel,( Trilok Gurtu). Technique, yes, it is a vehicle to get one to where one wants to go, the land of 'FEEL' However, to be 'balanced' and ooze 'Feel' is what its all about isn't it? The fact that 'nothing is impossible, to them that believe,( hearing it and doing it= 'practice', lots of it, and the 'attitude', to 'never give up'. The motivation, the ulterior motivation(s) behind 'why' does one do what one does, is where the true foundation and 'substance' of what a man or woman is truly defined as a person. This is the question one must ask oneself. Here is an analogy that is food for thought. The pure person will be stuck on a island with nobody around to impress, and no chance of getting off the island ever. the person who has, 'the 'peace' to go beyond the passion, to practice they're talent and further they're craft or talent, will 'love' what they do and 'grow' always,to get better and better, irrespective of 'attention, notoriety, fame or fortune. One of the rewards will be 'learning' itself, and seeing the improvement with each passing of the time. Music and musicians are like different types of fruit. Everybody wants to bring something good to the table, for those to enjoy and walk away wishing to return for a little bit more. However, the Greatest Wisdom is to seek not the fruit, (in this case, the music, the instrument chosen to learn, or the musician most inspired by, to worship like some demigod,), instead it is the most prudent to seek the source of where the fruit came from in the first place; and give praise to that, because in every due season, there will be an abundance of fruit to eat and enjoy from that life giving tree. When and where does 'inspiration' come from? Us or, is it, through us? As with music and a song; everything in this world has an author or a responsible artist. Likewise when i go to the beach and watch a beautiful sunset, i am in awe and deep thankfulness to witness something not fashioned or made by the hands of man. To Whom do i 'thank' then? For what it is worth, thank you for sharing your studies and progression. Love your work, in particular like some of your brush work. If there was a good reason why we are all here on this earth, then ones personal belief, would be; simply, to help each-other. Thank-you for helping with exploring ideas and permutations that may best work for a particular individual willing to invest the time and practice. Remember; D verses D; Distance verses Desire, The stronger your 'desire' to learn ones craft, the further 'distance' one will evidently go in it. Doing something for the right reasons will 'concentrate' and steel ones focus and resolve; however being motivated by the wrong reasons will bring a 'diluted' exposure that will not endure. Respect Always

Hi.I had an accidente y lost the functionality of my right arm. I want to learn with my lfet arm only. Could you make some videos like this? That could help me a lot. Thanks!!!

I have been working and working on this and have watched other video's about one handed rolls. I can't seem to get the hang of it. So frustrating.

Who had the hand technique dvd you first mentioned? Can’t make out what you said

how much did it take for you to at least get a good hang of it? great video!

Hi Reuben. Whose hand technique book did you mention? Thanks, Steve

Bass in the back looks like he wants to be played.

This is cool for impressing people at the store but what music requires such spastic movements??
