After watching this, I now realize my whole problem was not wearing my moccasin slippers. Since seeing this video and making corrections my game is on.

I really needed this! I'm working through your co-ordination PDF, and I've reached day #16. I'm getting better at isolating the kick from the hand, but this is an ideal lesson to help!! My left foot needs a lot of work, too. Thanks Stephen.

I’ve watched your videos over and over again. Excellent content and informative for a drummer! Thank you.

5:04 - LOL - Looks like a beaver found your stick bag. Reminds me of all the chewed up sticks I would keep until they would finally break. They would become so out-of-balance from all the whittling, but I could rarely afford new ones.....and that's when sticks were $3 a pair. Now, stick prices are absolutely crazy. Nice lesson Sir. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the free guide. Really enjoy your instructions!

Can’t wait to get started 👍

Best drum teacher under the firmament, frayed sticks and all! Thanks Stephen! I'll spend a couple of weeks with these tips. Super serendipitous advice!

Fantastic stuff.

This has really helped me with limb idependance, thanks so much for all the tutorials :)

I've been doing tons of this exercise. Most of the time I'm just using my hands on my knees and feet on the floor. It's a powerful exercise with unexpected gains. Keep up the good work 'you can do this! ' ™ 🤘😝

Thanks inspiring us - for me it’s hi-hat, especially in 3/4, 6/8 or Samba type stuff - while doing that I go off balance in the drum seat sometimes

1st thing - Perhaps the Single greatest Point here is Btwn the 6 min - 7 min mark. The hands are tied to the feet. The feet are tied to the hands. We Know this is true. Every time we play 2&4 on the snare, the HH Also wants to play 2&4. It's fact. So, SET YOUR FOOT FREE! (or hands). 😄 We have to SEPARATE them! 2nd thing - Not the point per se, but I would ENCOURAGE ppl 2 go back and READ the Transcript. HOW many times I did NOT Hear Stephen SAY something and then when I read the transcript, I said, "I don't remember him Saying THAT..." The Reason for that is we drift on the idea that was just presented, and then MISS what followed. Maybe it's Just Me, but I'm betting Not. Stay NG Drummers! 😎🥁

I found my left foot can't lead or think for itself at ALL! It follows the right pretty good. This exercise, modified, let's my right teach my left more directly. Thanks Steve😂

I'm working through the 30 day plan (at my own pace) and I am on day 8, where you start time keeping the Money Beat with the left foot. THAT is hard. My right foot wants to bounce right along. I'm guessing the R L technique in this video would work on LF and RF as well. I am certainly gonna try it.

Hey Steven I've received several notes that I won something for commenting on this video. I'm not real savvy about such things but I know it's fake and idk if you can do anything about it or get hurt by it. I jus thought I should tell ya cuz I like yer channel.

What is the brand name of your drum. Great sound

Stephen What are you setting your lap top on? I see a hoop under there!

Im curious, overall, in the end, do you think you are working on complete freedom of every limb or are you just learning more and more and more intricate patterns and more and more complex muscle 'memories' as it were? For me when i think of something new while im playing, the first time it usually doesnt work. Then i'll slow down, play the thing 3 or 4 times and then its like halfway locked and the next time i think of it it will flow naturally. (so im in the latter category i would say)

Where I must focus? Left foot. Foot technique in general.

Can you show the sequence in a written form ?

Make video it's good to learn

I’m I missing something. I just paid $7 for a “free” 30 days to 4-way rock coordination and got a video about holding the stick properly. Am I confused.

I am always so disappointed when there are no notes on a great video like this (or to download). I can't follow just by looking/listening.

This is a coordination exercise and not even notation worthy.

There is way more talking than there needs to be to explain this concept. Seems like you’re trying hard to hit that 10 minute mark.

ikr...just get on with it

The way you hit the floor tom with your right hand looks so awkward. No arm or hand mass behind the stroke really. Again learn from virgil and hit those drums instead touching them. You have multiple hinges in your arm so use them. They are like gears. You are playing the first gear all the time.

Different styles/techniques for different applications, went to school for music. So, Luke marching band vs rock vs jazz techniques are all different from each other

That being said, I agree that he is a little too loose, not keeping his fingers on the stick, for how I'd play but it seems to work for him
