As a lefty, nearly all drumming techniques are backwards for me.. I.e. right is left & left is right, etc. So to do this trick with my left hand, do I spin the stick counterclockwise?
I started learning this about 40 years ago after seeing the band Foreigner. And it took me some time to do this with my left hand 'forwards', and after a while i felt a little 'snap' between the index finger and middle finger of my left hand. So i can do it only clockwise and after seeing Mike Portnoy do it counter clockwise i am focussing on that.
Ahahaha legit, I’m also confident there’s multiple ways to do it cos I see Tommy do it with 3 fingers and marching band players do the same, I’m pretty sure that removes the illusion so u can face anyway, I’m confident in this is the easy way ahaha
Hope this helps all who’s sticks started working their way up, eventually falling. Start with a smaller diameter circle (Clock rotation). Start small, and slow. If you are brand new to this as I am, and start making big circles, the stick will go upward even if you go slowly and with the other hand’s help. Small, slow circles. That worked for me.
I do my own spin which i was able to do naturally like I never practiced it I just did it. But it uses all fingers well not really the pinky. & it’s a loop so you can just spin without stopping . Here the steps 1. Grab the stick with your thumb & index finger. Putting all other finger closed. The index finger will be on top of the the stick while your thumb is along side it. The reason you start from here is so the stick can have momentum you need momentum so the this stick can spin through your fingers. 2. Spin it (I assume you can spin it already) once it gets to between your middle & ring fingers. Stop there so now you can spin the stick from there.This part is really tricky because the stick is going to be spinning a certain way & you need to get the stick to spin the other way you do this by (refer to the “-“)(to practice from here in the actual spin all steps happen well happen without stopping between them) -to change the direction of the spin you need to bring you ring & pinky towards your thumb this will allow the stick to spin on top of your ring & pinky fingers. 3. This is the transition back to your index finger. Once the stick is done spinning on your ring & pinky use your thumb to guide the stick back to your index finger & then the stick will be on the side of your index finger that is closer to your thumb (this is basically where you start) once it’s there just repeat the process Screw these steps I’m just going to make a video tutorial. If I get more than 30 likes I’ll do it
Congrats!!!🎉🎉 you can really do it soo fast i got just a couple weeks trying it and between my fingers hurts , i just want increase velocity and the secret is on …
This is stunning, tks so much. I'm going to learn your method 1st and then learn some others. The way you do it looks VERY cool!👍🏻 Been drumming since I was 12 and never bothered learning it.
Thank you my lovely, this one is the best tutorial. Question, does it matter which direction the sticks twirl? It comes easier if I do it counterclockwise.
All these years ive been trying to thread it through all my fingers like how it looks. Ive gotten pretty good at it too. But the truth was so much easier😂
Hunter Quinton you can but you should put it more to your tips of your fingers then move your hand and do stuff. Yup that was the best tutorial, but you'll get it down

I figured it was be like twirling a baton and it would take practice after practice and a bunch of time to do it and i thank you very much for telling me how to do it because I really have been wondering how to do it.
I can do it for about 3secs until it travels up my fingers and then flies out my hand. Reading the comments, seems like a lot of people have this issue which is...comforting 😂
Me: not having drum Also me at the 5 pm the day b4 very important day at my job: "Yes, I 100% need to learn how to twirl drumstick" Well... My dream is to learn how to play drums so it's sth like beginning I guess... I'm too poor to buy drums
Rikki Rockett from Poison gave the illusion away in their videos when he does it, but then there was always question weather he was actually even playing the drums to begin with
...i giocolieri del circo fanno cose molto più stupefacenti con due bacchette quindi, per il bene dei ragazzi che studiano Batteria, insegniamogli a studiare lo strumento e non ad apparire stupidamente. Buon lavoro!
Nice but you explained that i had to spin it like a clock. Well the stick wont be in one spot everytime i spin it it moves up my fingers and i end up holding the end of the stick
Keep in mind this may not look good from your POV. If you think you may have it, try it in front of a mirror or get someone to video it. You may be surprised. Good luck.
That is why you WISH you were a drummer.. Try & pretend you are a BASSIST.. then you MAY get an "in" with a hetero female.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I have been trying to do this for almost a year now - I've seen every tutorial UA-cam has to offer on it. Pretty sure something must be wrong with my fingers - because the absolute best that I am able to do is make the stick go back and forth... Circular motions are absolutely impossible for me.
Tommy Lee for sure got me to stick twirl. It adds so much more flash for a drummer. Good trick to know even without a drum stick!
David Baez_
The dirt? XD
Me too
same lol
Neil Peart
Same!!
I like how the instruction is basically "hold it like this and twirl it." Seems like it takes months of practice.
Sure does. Especially to that level. All off the stick tricks take a long time to master.
took me a week
took me 15 mins to learn to cut cards with one hand. this is probably similar. maybe you should do it then get back to us?
It took me 2 days
And i learned it when i was 8
One of the BEST drumstick twirling tutorial videos I have ever viewed - thank you!
Bro….. I live in Nashville TN. And this is the first vid that popped up…. CREEEPPPPYYY
I can’t wait to start doing that like Tommy Lee when I get my drum set!!😁😁😁
As a lefty, nearly all drumming techniques are backwards for me.. I.e. right is left & left is right, etc. So to do this trick with my left hand, do I spin the stick counterclockwise?
I feel you
Doesn’t matter. Just what feels right. Some do it counter, some do it clock.
I started learning this about 40 years ago after seeing the band Foreigner. And it took me some time to do this with my left hand 'forwards', and after a while i felt a little 'snap' between the index finger and middle finger of my left hand. So i can do it only clockwise and after seeing Mike Portnoy do it counter clockwise i am focussing on that.
i am a guitar player , i am not in to drums but i saw tommy lee do it so i tried it , its like learnig pinch harmonics for the first time
Ahahaha legit, I’m also confident there’s multiple ways to do it cos I see Tommy do it with 3 fingers and marching band players do the same, I’m pretty sure that removes the illusion so u can face anyway, I’m confident in this is the easy way ahaha

Is the direction clockwise or anticlockwise?
@@mrc25381 for me it is clockwise. So if the palm of my hand is facing me, the sticks rotation is clockwise from the performer’s perspective.
i can do it but my problem is that it goes upward and it loses control and goes flying.
same
Yea same

Been 4 yrs. since you posted this how is it going now 😂

Mick Tucker from The Sweet......fantastic stick twirler 😊
..... and he came up with the greatest shuffle of all time! Ballroom Blitz. Great drummer. Left us too soon - 2004.
true words. I came here after watching Ballroom Blitz! 😊
This is stunning, tks so much. I'm going to learn your method 1st and then learn some others. The way you do it looks VERY cool!👍🏻 Been drumming since I was 12 and never bothered learning it.
Thank you
Thank you my lovely, this one is the best tutorial. Question, does it matter which direction the sticks twirl? It comes easier if I do it counterclockwise.
"First you do this, then you just do it!" Wow what great instructions
Practice makes perfect.
Wow! I never knew that it was an illusion. Is baton twirling done that way too?
This whole time it was an ILLUSION?! DANG MAGIC
Amanda you are awesome at everything. At 1:30 you are the best. You have mastered this.
I have always wanted to be able to twirl a drumstick and never had one of my drumers show me how. Now I see
I spun too fast and now I am flying. Help me
😂
really neat video . I enjoyed it and a good way to learn.
Woah, I like how you did the bow and arrow one at the end :D
I don't care about the drum stick spin, I want to learn how you make the bow at the end of the video =))
This is amazing
Ha! I was trying this for ages and not getting it. Then I realized I'm left-handed and should be spinning it counter-clockwise and BOOM, I got it...
All these years ive been trying to thread it through all my fingers like how it looks. Ive gotten pretty good at it too. But the truth was so much easier😂
How do u make ur fingers make it do the circle thing
(Does it work with pencil?)
Foxle The Fox a pencil isn’t really heavy enough to do it
Hunter Quinton you can but you should put it more to your tips of your fingers then move your hand and do stuff. Yup that was the best tutorial, but you'll get it down

Ok so from this all I can do it make it go left and right lol.
What about now?
Anyone after the dirt
How do you do it do fast ??
Well I never! The times I have seen this done and wondered how on earth it was happening, because it was basically impossible.
i need a bigger stick, i swear i did this before!! thanksss!!!!!!!
been a drummer for almost 20 years....still cant do this.
I can do it for about 3secs until it travels up my fingers and then flies out my hand. Reading the comments, seems like a lot of people have this issue which is...comforting 😂

I am also a Drummer!!! But i didn't really know how to spin the drumsticks?
I hear it makes you a better drummer.........
I tried doing this and I broke my mattress by stabbing it with anger
1:23 omg
i hear ya brother
You mean it's only an illusion? Cool cool cool.
Rikki Rockett from Poison gave the illusion away in their videos when he does it, but then there was always question weather he was actually even playing the drums to begin with
I’ve been playing the drums for nine years and I still never learned how to spin a stick😂
Weren't you on the TV show House
how does it not fall off your fingers?!?!!? mine keeps fallingg...
Well damn, something looks so easy and all I can get the stick to do is wiggle back and forth...help!!
How do you do it at the tips of your fingers ?
Carefully.
Thats the L.A. twirl. Way mire impressive when you run it up yoyr fingers to twirl it.
Gotta start somewhere!
...i giocolieri del circo fanno cose molto più stupefacenti con due bacchette quindi, per il bene dei ragazzi che studiano Batteria, insegniamogli a studiare lo strumento e non ad apparire stupidamente. Buon lavoro!
this is a tutorial? hold the stick and rotate it. oh wow, what an explanation
Fuck bro my hands are deformed or something. I've been doing this for like an hour but I can't get it
It's been 5 years, you figure it out?
If the "draw the rest of the fucking owl" meme were a video...
💀
i just tried it and the screwdriver flew into the wall and got stuck
Im just here because of sebastian stan lol
Awesome :D
Yeah I can already do this now
That one chick is the color of pumpkin spice latte
too hard
Super!
Professional drummer in Nashville is code for unemployed.
Hm
I like how there is one dislike
Nice but you explained that i had to spin it like a clock. Well the stick wont be in one spot everytime i spin it it moves up my fingers and i end up holding the end of the stick
Forget it... just practice playing drums
How the hell is this easier on my left hand than my right. Am I left handed?
YOU MIGHT BE
Oh, _hello_ 😍
i play this ten year ago the stick doesn't really spin is eyes rotation
Wow I can't even get close. I guess I'm not a real drummer
First I had to learn how to twiddle my thumbs...
She's gorgeous.
NAH .. I am gorgeous
It .. is forgettable

Protip: this doesn't work with Scottish pipe band sticks lol

Nice
No practice does not make perfect. You can always better your best.
what happend to their skin.. are they okay?
wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowoowowowoowowowowowoow
guess i am never going to be a drummer :D
its no working
Gee, I hate it when people are so clever? Lol
Okay so now do it left-handed. If you can only do it right-handed you're not a pro
Well I'm left handed.So it's easy for me.
It's leviOsa, not levioSA!
It works for any sticks.
Right?😂
no.. only the sort of sticks that wankers use
Possibly the worst instruction video in the history of instruction videos I’ve ever seen.
Hate that every tutorial is just,
"Okay hold it like this, and then move your hands like this"
I mean... that's how it's done.
@@Ratedred Unfortunatley :(
every chick in this vid needs me !
That is why you WISH you were a drummer..
Try & pretend you are a BASSIST.. then you MAY get an "in" with a hetero female.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Why am I thinking dirty things .
😀🙆😂
you need to slow it down. it's like teaching juggling with one ball and then suddenly there's three, and saying, "just do what i'm doing." awful.
Thanks for showing that those annoying, showing off drummers are not quite so clever after all!
Girl in the beige top is such a poser! Lol!! Pouty lips and "look at me" gestures.She wasn't there to learn stick twirl.
Try just playing. Leave the theatrics at home.
YOU MUST BE FUN AT PARTIES
Please ..that's not twirling ..lol more like a little kid with a baton after 5 mins. of practice
