So many drummers are self taught and get bad habits that are difficult to correct. My father Frank Severino jazz Drummer and good friend of Freddie Grubber Taught me these techniques when I was 10, it’s a shame so many drummers don’t know about it . I’m actually surprised this isn’t common knowledge. Get a good teacher . Especially to learn the basics

Not only a tutorial, but a history class, thank you really!

My great great grandfather was a 13 year old drummer boy in the War of 1812 @ the Battle of New Orleans.

I had one lesson with this cat. He's got it together and changed my playing a lot. Thanks Bruce!

Wrist snap technique is how it all comes together. Anyone notice how his speech became rhythmic while he was playing? Great vid. I'll be bringing this up with my students. Thanks, Bruce!

I sound out the drums in my head when I play ,Boom,crash,tap,tap,tap ,swish,boom,rat tat tat ,shuffle.

Even though I am a wooden kick beater, half-time hi-hat, tom-thumping, rim-shot neanderthal, this is good stuff. When I practice something like this and it starts to make me feel nauseous, I know I am making progress and it will definitely help me with my ghost notes and perhaps that very occasional dazzling jazzy fill I like to throw in, both of which most people seem to ignore anyway. I guess I will need to set up a bucket next to my snare drum. Thank you!

I've been playing for years and I was never able to grasp this technique until now. Amazing video

Bruce is one of the few drummers who, in explanation, uses literate literacy. Thank you for the useful and beautiful video.

As a side benefit, good technique lubricates the eyes. That’s why he doesn’t need to blink.

Great video, I've just started playing. It appears I have been trying to do this the hard way. I let it bounce more or less properly when I'm playing fast, but just play harder when I'm slower to get the same effect. Instead of letting the stick bounce I'm doing all the work. Can't wait to try this on my drums. Thanks.

Simple yet brilliant. A lightbulb went on. There are many teachers .this man is an educator ,many thanks .

So simple yet so valuable. Thank you for sharing this video

Awesome this is where I’ve been going wrong. Thanks for the clear understanding. I know my playing will improve with this technique in my practice. Thank you for posting

I love you guys, but man you have been trailing this course! But Bruce is a total genius and I will be getting involved in the course

Beautiful explanation and example! Very beneficial method! Takes a while to get down but go slow and burn it in and you'll really recognize the difference in efficiency, power, speed and control!

I played along with you and practicing the quarter notes made me notice the difference on the upstoke and gave me a better feel for the Moeller technique altogether.

I would usually skip the intro and get straight to the main thing but the way he explained it just got my attention! Nice! I like how relax your arm. My arm is in so much stress after playing. will try this later. - I'm new in playing drums but been my dream for so long.

I find this man's voice and subsequent vocal delivery exceptionally soothing. And Steve Jobs? Nah dude, clearly we should be honored to receive grip technique from the former captain of the Federation flagship U.S.S. enterprise, Captain Jean Luc Picard (aka bearded Patrick Stewart). My technique is what's gonna live long and prosper after this advice.

Brilliant drummer, musician, and teacher.

perhaps the best demonstration of moeller i've seen - thanks.

Great lesson! You're a brilliant educator.

Great lesson ! I'm a beginner and I struggled with that hand motion, but this video really unlocked it for me, thanks !

Great videos from this channel. Short and focused and useful; the way it should be.

Really useful and brillantly presented - Thank you!

Damn, after three years of playing I'm just learning of this? lol... This is awesome... Just what I need to take my technique to levels unknown... Bruce is a GREAT teacher...

I love you elaborating on the history of the technique you just shared. I'm very new to drumming, or rather not new, but unexperienced sofar. And I am am certain this will be more than helpful and guiding in my renewed aquaintance

That was a fantastic breakdown!!! Thanks for this!!

I've always thought that the upstroke was caused by the downward stroke (rebounding of the stick striking the pad.) This explanation/video shows that I've had it backwards which is why I never spent much time on it. At least the videos I've watched in the past explained it that way. Basically that you start with the hand/stick striking down first causing the rebound to "lift" the stick and repeat. Of course, I could just be an idiot and interpreted it way wrong. This is great! Thank you for posting, I think I might have actually learned this FINALLY!!

This is the drummer's equivalent of a golf swing lesson.

It's all in the hips.

Check out the warm up Moeller Modulations that the Bluecoats use for some more examples and differentiation in use cases of this technique.

Apparently I have Jim Chapins old leather stick bag. When I was told that's who it belonged to, it meant nothing to me at the time. Now I think it's pretty neat.

Hi coach... Great work,quality teaching,I love how you break it down. JP.

So very good to get this reminder from my very first Drum lessons. We done as always Drumeo.

Great vid. The most important lesson here is that he didn’t touch that drum kit once. So many beginners start by diving into the deep-end behind a kit. Start with the basics and learn proper stick technique before trying to boil the ocean.

I will be trying this Bruce thanks!

Finally a drumeo free lesson on the moeller stroke. Awesome .😎

Thank you. This is a big help.

Thank's, Xavier

Thanks. Very clear teached. Trying to get comfortable with such a loose grip ! Playing the sixteenth's , i think the 3rd is a rebound , which leads to the upstroke before repeat ...

Thank You for your insight!!

Great stuff Bruce thankyou bro

Thank you Captain Picard!

I'm not a drummer but I have rammed in quite a few tracks. Wish I'd seen this years ago, if only to understand the dynamics of drumming better.

Very useful thanks a lot.

Great stuff, going to have to work on this

What a beautiful kit.

great lesson, keep it up!

Most excellent thank you

Rolling shutters and drumsticks is so funny. It's like watching someone play with slightly cooked pasta. Great video and thanks for your time.

Great teaching

the moeller, yes i teach it as well. awesome!

Priceless 🙏

The second most important thing is to have a hand selected Steve Jobs wardrobe. Don't shortchange me Drumeo

Count up to 8 times remeber to practice this ourselves on drum and practice makes perfect to implanting to play a instrument.

Brilliant thank you

Thank you much.

Oh, you're good. Thanx!!

This is a great tutorial!

super helpful--ty

This is true. Try to get Bonham triplets to sound tasty without the arm movement especially on the left arm.

This guy is probably the best teacher ever

Thank you!!

As you went through your 'upper body anatomy checklist', I think I may have finally discovered why I'm having difficulties with drumming... I don't appear to have these things you referred to as "elbows". I just have one 3.5 foot long bone between my shoulders and hands, with none of those so-called "hinges" in between! Lol. Just kidding. Seriously though, not having elbows would actually give me a more justifiable excuse for not getting my bounces down with consistency and timing....

Awesome video! 👍

Certainly an informative vid and quite applicable if you're drumming on a single surface, i.e. rudimental or concert snare dtumming. However, the technique doesn't work once you start moving around the kit. Leigh Howard Stevens's Method of Movement (actually written for marimba but is so well adapted to drum set), is a much better adapted technique for motion and movement around the drum kit. Moeller has its place but has its limits as well.

First of all, loved the video and explanation of Moeller. Thanks for the information! I had a question though about the grip. Is there a difference in control by having the pivotal rotation at the middle finger vs. the pointer finger? My lesson teacher in college always had me use the pointer for the rotation point and I've been playing that way ever since. I studied more of a classical route, so would Moeller be applied more for a drum set grip these days, or did I just learn a different approach? Thanks in advance for the input!

Wonderful.

Thank You !!

Cool thank you

My mind is blown away

I'm gonna practice it.

I love that DW kit

If you don't have the proper technique you can end up damaging yourself- then you won't be able to 'enjoy' anything because you won't be able to play!
