What's your biggest struggle when it comes to your hand speed?

My left hand just gets stupid with longer phrases and decides it no longer wants to cooperate. Quick licks are fine. But there's no chopping out for me even if I wanted to. I may just need to give this whirl.

I am a beginner and when I drum, I move my under arms, while I see you are moving your wrists only. I don't understand how to do that. I also have a disability in my left hand, which also makes holding the stick (or playing guitar) difficult. 😕

I'm back! Lots more coming. After a year and a half on the road touring, I just needed a break.

Superb lesson, Stephen! I've been struggling to get past 220+ with my left and hopefully this will help me fix my foundation

Great stuff! Definitely will boost performance.

Wonderful, the perfect practice item in the right time for me! I spend 20 minutes, more or less, going to work by train. I'm practicing this workout everyday, i hope it will help me in developing fluidity and speed. Thank you Stephen!

You are a great person and resource. Thanks a million! My biggest weakness is in my early days I deliberately avoided double strokes and such. I hate even admitting that.

I just started doing something similar, only adding quintuplets before the sextuplets. I still struggle with feeling odd groupings...hopefully having both 3's and 5's can help. Like the structure you've created. Looking forward to working with your pdfs to give the practice a bit more structure.

Good for x2 bass drum!

I lost it at Don't herta yourself

Love it....but yeah, lost me at exercise #4😂 😟🤯 I got a lot of work to do!!! Like the Kinks song says " Back where we started "...." Do it again, do it again, do it again " 🫠

sir i am little confused with the last 8th one alone can you k indly explain is it first measure right hand lead once then first measure left hand lead once then second measure right hand lead then pause first measure left lead twice like that

"...in my online drum school" :|| - Love ya, Stephen!

I like the idea of playing exercises daily. What would help me is to have either separate chapters for each exercise or a separate video that I could play each day as a play-along. Something like this kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZ6kqdGIoZCWl8Y.htmlsi=y1qZHiuBlc3KHgoq

Are we supposed to practice with the hi hat? Or just the two hands?

Throw that hihat in there!

I saw that when you are on practice pad you hold drumsticks on the balance point,but when you play on drums live you hold them in the end of the sticks.I do the same.Is that wrong?

It's not.wrong and it simply depends on what I'm playing, the volume, etc. in a live setting as to if I choke back on the sticks. Choking back is an incredible way to get power. However, if you need finesse, it's not the best way. We simply need to understand why we are doing what we do. At large venues I will absolutely choke back on that stick
