For those of you who want a slower version of this video, like me: if you change the speed to 0.75, the workout goes from 105 bpm to 180 bpm, with 7.5 bpm increments. Here the full list of (bpm showed in video at normal speed) -> (bpm at 0.75 speed) 140 bpm -> 105 bpm 150 bpm -> 112.5 bpm 160 bpm -> 120 bpm 170 bpm -> 127.5 bpm 180 bpm -> 135 bpm 190 bpm -> 142.5 bpm 200 bpm -> 150 bpm 210 bpm -> 157.5 bpm 220 bpm -> 165 bpm 230 bpm -> 172.5 bpm 240 bpm -> 180 bpm Hope this helps :)

Been playing drums 26 years and never have I done something as crazy as that. Everything was going great until it reached 200bpm when I literally felt as my left arm is falling off! Had to stop. I'm gonna do this every day until I make it perfect. THANKS SO MUCH !

@@jonbear171 i play trad grip, been playing about 7 months, I made it to 210 and started to lose form and my right wrist was starting to get pins n needles 💀 hopefully eventually I can do it…

When the bpm went above my speed limit (210 +), I switched to playing 4 strokes on each hand. This trained me so that I am able to play the whole workout.

Been doing this 3-5 days a week for the past 6 months. Can confirm that it helps if you stick with it!!

I speak Spanish and it's so fun to be able to understand 90% of what you're saying, only to look at the subtitles for specific words that are different. Cheers!

Been doing this daily, all wrists. Falls apart at 200bpm but I started originally struggling at 170/180 so it works for sure!

@@smanduu9204 I've been doing other speed work for a while now but I did this stone killer daily for about 6 weeks and 200bpm started smoothing out. Especially for my playing level (high beginner/low intermediate) it's worked wonders

For medical reasons I had to quit playing drums entirely for about 4 months. Went from a pretty decent level to feeling like an absolute zero. It's really frustrating, after over a decade playing metal, not to be able to hold simple sixteenths on my double bass for over a couple of bars; let alone patterns. I will use the stonekiller workout (slow 100-200 version) on my feet and see how it works out. Should be great to reactivate my muscles. Thank you, Riccardo!!

Knocked out at 8 bars of 225 on Lefty. Very good method, definitely doing this every day

Bell'esercizio! È incredibile a quella velocità come continui ad avere un bel volume alzando così tanto la bacchetta, veramente complimenti, pura potenza! Di solito la velocità va a scapito di tutto questo. Rock On!

well my stones got killed, phew gona make this one of my routines for sure, thnx !

Very nice. You kept the full strokes going without any fingers until about 180. I’ll have to give this a shot. I’d like to hear you do this using a Moller technique with accents. It would probably be a breeze for you.

I had no idea drummers can count so fast. I can’t even say the number in my head as fast as he plays them... scared to watch his double pedal workout now. Lol

When your timing is so good, your practice session can be used as a metronome for other peoples' practice sessions.

How can it not improve any drummer . All drummers should be doing this

This is cool, thanks. At some point you switched from wrist to fingers. Couldn't quite catch when. I think it's important for people to know this. 200 for wrist is super hard to do, but he's not doing that. So you need to learn some finger stroke technique to do this.

Devo essere sincero molto ma molto interessante 👍potresti aggiungere i colpi singoli e doppi

Untill 230 bpm is fine, this is the point my left hand stars to struggle alot more, and my right hand give in slightly. No exhaustion though ^^. Nice exercise

SLOWDOWN

Ciao, Riccardo. I discovered this video yesterday, and decided to try this workout daily. Some context, I used to play drums way back, took lessons for six years, was never a super-talent, and then I stopped playing for a few years and only recently decided to come back into it. My question is, as someone who is very rusty and certainly can't achieve the same speed as you (my right hand is fine up to about 200-210 bpm, and the left hand starts to struggle at 170-180 bpm), is it useful for me to do this workout as you do it, even though I can't keep up at all with the higher speeds? Or should I stick to the lower bpms and maybe stop at about 200? What would you say is most useful to someone like me? Grazie mille :)

@RiccardoGrechi

Hi! I suggest you to slow down and increase the tempo step by step. As I said in the video this workout could be made at other range of speeds. Start for example with 100-200. It already was in my plan to publish the lower tempo version of this workout :) Soon on facebook etc! Thank you
