Thank you SO much Darryn, can't say it enough! I have alot of troubles with getting my rimshots consistent, most advice I've really got was the same Just Keep Doin It" but it still hasn't happened, I'm tryin ur technique, thanks again
This literally improved my rimshots over night. Its a great way to think about using the meaty part of your thumb for the primary downward motion and absorption of the impact. I also moved my snare up higher. Before i was tensing and clenching my hand with every impact and it felt horrible. But its night and day now, it might even be easier for my since i bury the stick Charlie Watts style. And the funny part is that visually it looks almost indistinguishable, but its totally different finger and muscle groups in use. Great vid!
Hello Darryn!! Thank you for share thsi amazing video but what I really want to thank you is for sharing your experience in your early twenties with rimshots, that happened me a few months ago. I've been playing for many years, I'm a self-taught drummer and never paid attention to rimshots till I finally took some lessons with a good friend and he told about the rimshots and maaaan, It's hard to star again LOL. Anyway, Thanks for the video
Thanks, day one with these exercises and ideas, and already seeing marked improvement, after decades of frustration with my trad grip rimshots. I was about to lose hope. Thanks Darryn!
Thanks for the video Darryn, I watch football and work on trad grip with a snare in front of me all the time and these exercises + explanations are exactly what I was searching for. Great work!
Thank you! Focusing on minimising the movement and synchronisation while practising really pays of very quick. There’s is something about the sound of a rimshot in traditional grip (when its landing the right way) that I can’t achieve with the matched grip.
Hey daniel, one day of practicing rimshot with your technique definitely made a difference for me. 👏. could you do a video on your general technique using traditional grip? For example, are you moving your fingers away from stick as you play faster? Thankx for excellent videos 👍
Thanks Darryn! The idea that 'eventually we'll get the rim shot' has proven inaccurate. It has taken a lot of effort to get it where it is for me, using different phases of the para diddles as accent notes. I've also found that I do need to "play through the mistakes" as it very tempting to stop, swear, and start again, instead of maintaining the rhythm and getting the muscles to learn. I don't play trad grip, but this was still very useful...thanks again.
Hello Darryn and thanks for the video(s)! I have also found rimshots very difficult with trad grip. Actually kind of given up, but after seeing this video I'm gonna try again! Your style of teaching is very pleasent and very cool stuff you teach! I'm gonna order your book too! Keep on doing your thing, I will follow😊 ps. Greetings from Finland
I’m only 5 minutes in but this video seems like exactly what I need, I also despise rimshots, think they’re the hardest thing to be consistent with
Thank you for these great tips.
Excellent teacher.
Thanks Darryn ,excellent video,this is a tremendous help,thanks for sharing .

This makes me very happy to hear. Thanks for the feedback and all the best with your drumming journey.

My pleasure and thanks for your comment. Rimshots can be very frustrating to nail each time. Hang in there.
This is the best video on rimshots i have found. Thanks!

Hi Darryn, great video! I wonder, has the video on doing rim shots with more of a Moeller movment ever come to be? Thank you!
Thank you very much for the best video on trad rimshots.
Thanks. I really wanted to make a video like this because of the frustration I experienced.
Such in depth contents! Also appreciated the accuracy you had while breaking down things under various perspectives.
Great stuff, ciao Darryn!
Great video showing the wrist action with the thumb. My only concern injuries to the thumb hitting the rim with that much force?
Thanks for the video Darryn, I watch football and work on trad grip with a snare in front of me all the time and these exercises + explanations are exactly what I was searching for. Great work!
What type of football are we talking about here?
Really love the way you teach... Very inspiring Darryn

Terrill Percussion thanks. I’ll upload a follow up for matched grip players too.

Thanks for your comment and glad you're going to have another try at it. Be patient and you will get better rimshots.
Fantastic video! Gonna rewatch until I finally get those pesky rimshots down consistently.
Great!!
Mr Darryn what head are you using I like the sound.
The head is a coated Remo Ambassador. I think the equivalent in an Evans is the coated G1
I'm nearly crying, because I feel like my consistency with rimshots is shit. I feel like I do not improve quickly enough.
I understand the frustration. Hang in there and be patient. Follow the advice in my video because it helped me a lot.
@@darrynfarrugia9904 Thx, it's getting better.
Lots of talking puts me off ...but still its s good lesson
