I just took over the percussion classes at my school. I had been a band director and drumline instructor in my early days. My original assignment here was and still is Orchestra. I used this among many other things to get my beginners going. It's really something how far you can take 7th and 8th grade first-time drummers in one year.
I cannot express how important the reps of playing along with this is. I could, literally, quantify how much better the class got after doing a few reps of this.
This I genuinely feel should be something that every drum-line should use considering that if you know everything in this video and you know how to read everything in this video that you will be a way more skilled drummer in the future.
Thanks, man. And I tell you, it works JUST like you think it does. We did this every day as a part of a structured daily drum lesson. I appreciate it. I'm doing something similar now for strings.
@@seabeast2438 Accents are the first step. You should be able to place an accent anywhere in the beat, with proper accent-to-tap control. Flams are the next progression, then diddles, then cheeses. Have fun as you learn and grow as a musician!
As a long time snare drum player I can and will say this is a great exercise for new and experienced snare players (as long as the new player knows how to play eighth notes!)
Thanks. I tend to be pretty analytical about what I put in front of my students. This seemed to make sense to me for the classes I was teaching in my school and the students picked up on it right away. To see the positive effects in a very consistent way was nice.
Excellent. I am not a drummer but a classically trained piano player for 30 years, and these percussion techniques can very much be applied to the piano. Thank you for a great video.
I’m so glad I found this, I played drumset in school and enjoyed it a lot but never really learned marching drums because it’s super uncommon in my country with only very few in the military actually practicing marching band. It always felt super inaccessible to me because I only ever saw super talented people playing snare and didn’t really know where to start. This however was an amazing find, even with my limited drum training I was able to play through this relatively easily and had a lot of fun doing it. Thank you for sharing this incredible resource.
I created this specifically for my Beginning Percussion class when I took it over. 7th-9Th pretty much all starting from scratch but I got to meet with them every day. We played and learned new drum material daily while reinforcing metronomic time with the met, this, and other computer-generated things, and other rock videos. What I think you'll find is your students will be very engaged playing along with this video. I started with just one rhythm at a time and added a little each day and playing and replaying the material really strengthens the myelin. You'll be able to see how the students all learn this way too. Being accurate becomes a bigger deal in a situation like this so the intensity, even in 7th and 8th graders is pretty impressive. Let me know what you think and if you think of other things that would help your kids, let me know. I'm finalizing a drum method book where this will be a big chunk of it. Have fun. CP
I was one of the most important parts of falling in love with my wife. She doesn't mind me practicing any of my instruments. I wish my violin playing was as pretty as my drumming. lol
This would be slightly easier than my Drumline warmups, we usually have some odd time signatures thrown in to practice marking time, also some of these would be played a little faster. Really great stuff to help with technique and chops, I have been on snare a little over half a year and I've improved by an immeasurable amount.
Thank you so much. I made this for my students in Arizona. It worked wonders. Tell the others in your line and your director. Let me know if there's anything else I could do for you.
Next, I would work your way through this book. ua-cam.com/video/UndzhXF6xO4/v-deo.html While you are learning the different rhythms in "Learning To Drum," go to this book of solos I wrote to go along with that book. ua-cam.com/video/AJoyerqMzbg/v-deo.html When you are done with that, I will show you the next level of difficulty. Have fun, let me know how you are doing, and if you have any questions. Thanks again! CP
curious why the sticking is not reflected on the diddles or on the multi stroke rolls. It seem like executing alternate sticking on rolls is as important in a two hand warm up as is the case for the patterns above. Was this an oversight? This would be a much better instructive video if you had consistency presented the sticking throughout the entire warmup suggestions. Some of these are my standard warmups, along with flamadiddles, flam swiss army triplet, flam taps and flam 5 and 7 stroke rolls using alternate lead sticking.
I'm with you. This set of warm-ups was penned for my students who were in our beginning drumming classes. I use this video in class. Our school started a drumline class as an elective that quickly grew into three classes. For beginners, I like to start with traditional sticking and stay with it for some time. My more advanced students have begun studying rudimental solos and I write fun stockings in the ensemble things we played. I hope that answered your question. Thanks for stopping by and reaching out. I appreciate it.
Interesante, la diferencia se aprecia en las manos, debo admitir que se me han olvidado algunas combinaciones, sobre todo los flam y los redobles. Desde mi punto de vista son ejercicios para estudiar, en mi caso lo vería bastante difícil realizarlos antes de tocar, en ese caso no los veo de calentamiento
Hey big beginner here what’s the Sticking for the single and double diddles and the stroke rolls? Sorry if it’s a dumb question but I just wanna make sure I’m doing this correctly
This method is focused on the Right-Hand Lead. So, if the stroke is on a strong beat(typically the downbeat and notes NOT on the upbeat), they'll be played with the Right Hand. That's a pretty general rule of thumb for figuring out the sticking. Thanks for asking!
its a good question and I too wonder why sticking was left off of many of these exercises. Sticking is a fundamental part of good rudimental drumming, and a careful, and effective warm up
Sorry this took so long. I'm playing drums in a show and it has killed my time. Here is a link to that score on Musescore. You can download it to pdf and you can also play along with it while you adjust the tempo. You'll other things I've written there as well. Have fun! musescore.com/user/771156/scores/6291966?share=copy_link
Excellent. It is always good to start at a slower tempo. Your muscles will learn better. Thank you for coming to my channel. Right now, I teach English as a second language to adults at the college in my town. One of my students translated for me. We had a very good conversation.
Yepper. Double-bounce them. NOW...with that said, I know that the roll exercises are short 1-diddle. Not sure why it did that when the rolls are written as they would be in a concert setting. You probably heard that.
It is just the Musescore program I used to write it. It has a really good plug-in for marching percussion too. This is just the Concert Snare, I believe. The Musescore website also serves as a host for some of my music and with a click of a button, you can upload this video to UA-cam. It's pretty slick.
Recently with me in Austria. I tried this. The bottom line was, I had the police in the house. Why? The neighbor said I was doing target practice with an assault rifle and asked the police for help.
@@ChristianPaulson-Music Not at all! He said he is a dedicated slide trombonist in the police marching band. He said drummers aren't musicians and that's why he can shoot me now. A pretty stupid situation because of some effective finger exercises for drummers. Unfortunately, our police officers are ignoramuses by the grace of God.
Yeah...I was being kitchy. I try to put odd little twists with the titles of many of my tunes. Dorky but kids seem to remember them. Thanks for stopping by! If there's anything that you'd like to have written that would help you, let me know. I write things for people all the time and if they're helpful, I share them with everyone.
Great job!
Felt like the longest 6 minutes ever, in a good way.

Indeed. I've used this as a quasi-met with my orchestra classes to help keep time. I'm glad you found it useful.
I'm also a pianist who also plays percussion and piano is very well a percussion instrument because of the hammers hitting the strings

Thank you sir. This is great. From VietNam with respect
Great stuff.! Can also be used as a general warm up for drummers playing all styles.
This is great for drums and also great for driving people crazy that live up or downstairs from you.
I was one of the most important parts of falling in love with my wife. She doesn't mind me practicing any of my instruments. I wish my violin playing was as pretty as my drumming. lol
Thanks for this upload I’ve been using it for my warmup everyday
Fridays were a "chop-buster day" where we'd notch up the speed control on the video. We had a little fun with that.
@@ChristianPaulson-Music oh nice!!

Well, good for you. If you go to the Musescore link in the description, you'll be able to adjust the tempo as you play along. Have fun.
I think you meant 'immensely'. you can defo measure the progress
Thanks so much for this. This really helped me with my flams.
I'm glad this helped you! Tell your friends and director and let me know if there's anything else you'd like to have for you playing?
@@ChristianPaulson-Music Absolutely!
0:45 Phil Collins - In the Air but the chorus never starts
Even a couple of 7th graders said that.
You just have to feel it coming, oh lord
I've never thought of that for me it is a exercise called 2xL
This is so awesome. Thank You!
Thank you so much. I made this for my students in Arizona. It worked wonders. Tell the others in your line and your director. Let me know if there's anything else I could do for you.
This is what we played for warmups but different names
Same for me

Are the notes with the dashes one them.are they buzz rolls or single stroke rolls
Yepper. Double-bounce them. NOW...with that said, I know that the roll exercises are short 1-diddle. Not sure why it did that when the rolls are written as they would be in a concert setting. You probably heard that.
Thanks
Are you supposed to double them or single the hamburgers
Play the 3-strokes on one hand. If you keep increasing the speed, they become a controlled triple-bounce stroke.
Oh, goodness! I just read that... sorry. Play the two strokes or taps. Not 3. My bad.
Haha YUP!
Why does it say "Cheese Dogs" and "Hamburgers"?
Hamburger is because it sounds like hamburger and for cheese dogs, I really don't know.
The same for cheese dogs, the syllables match the rhythm. Any two syllable word will work.

Sometimes it sounds like my computer crashed
This video is cursed at 0.75 Speed.
Yeah, and it sounds like every stroke is a flam. lol
Or...two drummers trying to play together on Facetime. Close but still a little lag.
@@ChristianPaulson-Music Haha
@@ChristianPaulson-Music Them diddles tho...
Sounds tough played at regular speed.....
Maybe at first but middle schoolers all got together on it. Hang in there and its really good for your hands.
Hamburger hamburger hamburger
Are you supposed to double them or single them?
Hamburger Cheeseburger Big Mac Whopper
@@kexir. Three singles on one hand. 1e&, 2e&, 3e&, 4e& on one hand. Measure one, RH. Measure two, LH, etc.
Try this at 1.25x speed it’s tough haha.
hell yeah its tough but try 1.5 xD oh my gawd you cant even tell with the double rolls where tf youre at
Do want my hands to perish?
technique, not technic...unless that's an American spelling.
