I think that wrist snap was the piece of info Ive been looking for. Thank you 🤗

Will you be with Metronome or not, please

Thanks for all your videos, they are extremely useful, short and to the point! Invaluable for someone starting out :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH

Thank you so much! I appreciate you! I'm going to go buy drumsticks tomorrow!

Great explanation. I was challenging to how I can relax my muscles and play faster. I was using too much list and it was limited. Thank you for making the video. It helped me a lot and will start the practice today 🙏

Very clear demonstration! Thanks a lot!

Excelente ...

Thank you SO much! This was eye-opening for me, and really helpful. Just started learning to play drums at age 56, gah, appreciate your taking the time to go through all the techniques.

Ok, well for a bit ins-pir-a-ti-on, how about Led Zeppelin's 'Fool In The Rain' ftom their penultimate (last but one) album 'In Through The Out Door' - feat the marvellous John Bonham? Rather than viewing on UA-cam, instead stream on, say, Amazon Music in Ultra HD Atmos sound. Pure and unadulterated, drumming joy.

thank you ! so hard to find such practical, useful instructions!

Simple, clear back-to-basics approach re stick control starting with the fingers - one digit at a time. Glad to have chanced upon this drum tutor's videos and have subscribed. Question: Are there any exercises recommended in order to strengthen your thumb & finger grip? Reason I ask is, the sticks keep slipping until there's no stick left and it falls on the floor/practise pad!

I am struggling with finger dexterity and control, much to learn and practice. Thanks for the lesson, it's brilliant.

Hi, thanks so much for the video but I just have so much trouble bouncing the stick with my pointer and middle fingers, the only way I am able to do it is when I hold the stick at a weird angle and it feels very uncomfortable and barely bounces back up. Any tips?

Nice job! Is there anything better than a nice aged K ride?

Hi Maria, very cool, I'm almost there :) How do you play the right foot at that speed? Heel up or down?

Thank you for this!!! Really!!!! Helps me a LOT!!!! 🙏🙏

Amazing

Interesting, some good tips. Are you familiar with Steve Smith's "Pathways of Motion"? I definitely recommend you check it out!

I’m speechless, that’s an excellent lesson!

Did i miss the notation for the bass part. Is it 3/4 time? bass hat bass, 123? or is there triplet rest?

You are a great drummer and teacher. I bet you can play 64th note triplets no problem. This video brings me to one question though. How is your metronome so loud?

Her finger control is amazing. Her clitoris does not stand a chance

My left is my non-dominant hand. Why does my stick want to drift and not stay at the same angle when I go to spring it back into place? @3:21 you say it may be flopping all around and that is ok. But it is not ok. Going slow is your suggestion, but even going slow the bounce to spring back is still flopping around, there must be something I don't understand here. My right hand is fine. I need help so I can get good again.

I have had lessons from a city orchestra percussion leader, another guy that only put me on stick control on snare, only. I lost interest in him, I was 11. Lessons from a decent teacher from a music store, and also from a multiplatinum celebrity drummer, and maybe someone I am spacing out, then I worked in a music store with a daily visit from various pro's that would hang out, do clinics, and many drummers on a daily basis, still it was this video that finally showed and explained this technique and how to practice it. Great lesson, thank you.

I don't have any musical instrument practice except acoustic guitar for 6 months and i always find myself watching a ton of drum videos. It looks so fun and honestly i think i really want to try. Thank you for this video because it will be awesome to practice this when i get some stix on my hands.

This is very close to how my drum teacher taught me!

Thank you !

Great videos! Thanks @maria. Simple but so effective. Learning so much 👍 you earned a subscriber.

Thx for the lesson, teacher

I recently watched a instructional video if the great Tony Williams and he said he held the sticks with his 4th and 5th fingers (at the back of the hand) rather than thumb and index. I tried but it felt awkward and very difficult to control the stick. I'm never going to be Tony Williams I'll stick with this way. Nice instruction though

Great info. Thanks.

very smart & aware teacher. Thanks

This would be better, if the sound synced with the video

I’ve been drumming for about 6 years and I’ve played matched grip the whole time. I’ve decided that I want to try traditional and maybe even switch over because I’m mostly playing jazz these days. I think I have my fingers in the right place but I’m having trouble getting any rebound, and I can’t play double strokes easily or fluidly. Is this down to just practising more? Or is there maybe something wrong with my actual grip?

Superb lesson.

This is incredibly hard. Most drummers don’t realize how hard this is.

is it right that it's like a nerve action? Different to wristing, I can get the nerve action going in my fingers like what you are doing but varying the tempo is difficult if not impossible, I seem to have one set "nerve" speed... I realize time spent will be defining, will I eventually be able to play in time is my truer question, as the nerve speed, I can turn it on, but timing it... if the timing of the song suits my nerve speed fine, I just can't vary it yet. How long might I reasonably expect it to take spending say 10 minutes a day focusing on finger playing... I can't manage more, arthritis at 60... would it take about a year of daily practice do you think... or more? I want to be able to use finger technique in my general "flow"... I just find it something like a switch at the moment, and in that switching I can come a cropper... and do, thankfully in my studio alone...

And then with the paradiddles

This is brilliant! Thank you for making this video.

hey Maria: Do you have any sheet music that shows when the accents occur? Tom Gracen

Thanks! That was pretty awesome. Yep I've got to work on my finger control cuz I have none.

Fabulous

Extremely interesting video, and I'm not even a drummer!

Great correction...I so grateful for your instruction! Thanks so much 🎉

This video is just great! Thanks so much.

Technically astute, wow

WOW! I really appreciate your class, because with a few minutes for a few days I have considerably improved my way of playing, because I see that it is not the use of the arm/wrist but the fingers. Your class is a treasure for us beginners! And I am already one more subscriber to your channel. Until the next class. Thank you very much.

You are one awesome drummer!!

Is it ok to have your weak hand grip be SLIGHTLY differently angled than your strong hand? I feel that when i use my fingers on my weak hand, the fingers bounce the stick around UNLESS turn my wrist by a few degrees.
