    As many of you rightfully noted in the comments, this is Moeller's technique. This came as a surprise to me, as I've mostly played by George L. Stone's "Stick Control", "Accents and Rebounds" and then Joe Morello's "Advanced Studies", all of which I highly recommend if you didn't know about them already. However, I think the Moeller's technique, which deals with a three stroke cycle, is only a part of the video. To me at least, the Moeller's technique comes into play at faster speeds, where rebound can dictate the consequential movement of the stick, using the leftover energy produced by the first hit. But in my experience of teaching mostly complete beginners - people who've never held a stick before - Moeller's technique could only be applied once you've developed your wrist motion and learned to unlock it without losing grip of the fulcrum. Hence, I wanted to break down in detail the initial stroke itself, by showing the importance of the hidden upstroke involved. Advanced players might not find this useful because they have developed their sense of rebound and resonance, as well as control over their wrists so long ago, that it becomes natural to them and they assume everyone should be able to pick it up. In my opinion, technique cannot be claimed, rather it can be discovered, as it all comes down to where physics and the laws of motion coincide with the limitations and capabilities of the human body. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Cheers and thanks for watching!

    You're absolutely right. A technique is not the property of someone but rather created by the need of a person. There have been many times in a lot of different arts and sports were people have been using a certain technique that came to them naturally and discovered later that the technique they're using has already a name and was used by someone first and they had absolutely no idea.

As we all know the Devil is in the details and you've helped me so much already and I've only watched 3 videos and found out I'll need to re learn my singles first then move onto doubles. Also Kick pedal video was amazing !! Keep doing the great job !!

    Bro, you're **LITERALLY** telling my story. It's actually embarrassing how much atrophy I've experienced in my left hand. The stick is constantly slipping out of my pinch because my "drumstick" muscles (both sides of the thumb at the hand) is non existent anymore. I'm super pissed at myself but not letting it stop me from getting back. It's gonna take a solid year of pad practice to get anywhere close to where I was in my 20's. I've also got tons of motivation now as my son (11yrs old) is now playing and taking lessons. We'll do it together!

You really have to slow yourself down and build it back up. I have four kids, mortgage, the whole midlife deal so practice time is sparing. I’ve still been able to get a good amount of confidence back with only four hours or so of practice a week while also trying to explore some new ideas. Just enjoy being back on a kit.

    Having never had actual drum lessons, I've struggled with double-strokes the 20-ish years I've been playing in terms of getting them powerful and even. Until right now I never once heard about inverting it and accenting the "double" to dupe being even. That's brilliant and I am only 39 seconds into this video. And I guess about 5 minutes away from running off to my kit.

    A lot of the extra mechanics of the motion of a rebound stroke are natural. Get out of the way of the stick and practice individual double strokes without the roll and all of these motions will come naturally without feeling forced. This is why Buddy Rich always recommended the Rebound Stroke to all drummers of different skill levels.

    Thanks for the great tutorial, you have it sounding really smooth, strong & consistent. I was wondering if you could give some insight as to the different angle of your practice pad vs the snare drum in this vid? eg. pad sloping away from you & snare sloping toward you?

    Hi Happy30yrs, yes that a great question actually. For years now I've been practicing stick control and other exercises standing up. Mostly has to do with this particular stand I got - the DW Go Anywhere. I found that it's easier on my back in general and also I conduct all my lessons this way - me and the student warm up standing up, then move on to the drum kit, where we obviously sit down. The angle of the practice pad works best sloping away from me as I am taller than the stand and this way the angle at which the stick hits the pad is minimal and therefore gives me the best rebound, but most importantly - keeps my wrists straight (at the time of the hit) and prevents my students' wrists from collapsing down, as many beginners I've seen do. Your hand is strongest when your wrist is straight and lowers the chance you might hurt yourself in the long run. So - better rebound and safety.

    @@DrumApe Thanks for the explanation. I've been quite interested in this lately after noticing one of my favorite drummers Jose Pasillas (Incubus) adopting the snare drum (seated at his kit) sloping away from him. He plays matched grip. The only time I had seen this before was Steve Smith's set up & I assumed it was similar to the slope you would see traditional grip players using at times, to get the right angle for rebound & rim shots etc. The older I get, technique/safety & longevity play a big part in my continued journey of enjoying drumming. It's always fascinating learning new things.

Also, what two crash cymbals would you recommend for a rock music? I have a 16” fast crash and an 18” fast crash, but they don’t sound great playing (or trying to play) classic rock.

    Hi Brian, yes you might be overdoing it, or if you started playing more recently it might just be stress on the muscle, but if it gets unbearable you should see a doctor or stop. But try to unlock the ankle and not use too much force and you should be fine. Rock crash and projection crashes are best for rock and heavier stuff, some brilliant crashes also. Fast crashes are thinner so not very loud. Cheers

    I'm about a month or 2 into doing doubles practice like this almost every day for 20 minutes or more and finally getting some good doubles! For some reason my weak hand (left) "Learned" how to unlock and snap the wrist over years of doing little doubles here and there on the snare, but my strong hand (right) just did NOT want to let the wrist unlock to get the "pop" needed to get these doubles to work. I have finally powered through this issue though! It really does pay to take it slow and work your way up.

    You can also do double stroke roll using rebound. Rebound is when you drop something solid on for example a table it jumps few times and the jump height decreases and decrease and you may also see it jumping faster when the jump is lower until until it's stable and doesn't jump again, depending on the material, it can be strong or weak, if you drop something like a stick on a table it will keep jumping and jumping until it stopped it's now standing on the table, so a hard material gives efficient rebound, so if you drop a stick on a pillow or a couch you don't get much rebound since both couch and pillow are soft, but when you play on a concrete, wood, metal or anything that is hard and solid you get a great rebound.

    This is great! Your explaination using the stick at shoulder height is a lot like the amazing JoJo Meyer's in Secret Weapons of the Modern Drummer. I feel like I'm finally getting a handle on this technique after watching your video and the old Jim Chapin doubles video, but I seem to always hit a wall at about 100bpm and cant make this go any faster. Guess i have to just keep working at it.

    Thank you so much for your kind words, I am really happy people find this useful. Regarding the brick wall - I'd say there's a tempo at which there's a cross over point, where you have to switch to a different technique, as using the wrists becomes cumbersome at faster speeds. This particular video's aim is to reveal the importance of the upstrokes between the hits in getting the doubles to sound even. Let me know if I can help further and good luck!

    @pdxfunk Yes definitely you need to switch to palm and fingers, but there's a catch - the fulcrum needs to remain solid and static, while the other fingers, like pinky and ring fingers, need to open and close respectively. The whole point is to harvest the bounce the stick wants to do all the while keeping the fulcrum static. I always tell my students, to think of each hit as something that happens upwards, not downwards. This way you're actually using the inertia of the stick, rather than absorbing it. It's really hard to explain in a comment, I hope this does justice.
