    Man, thanks for this video. It really helped me with speed. I started using my middle finger instead of my index and has made a world of difference. Thanks..

      @RealBesty 5 років тому +2

      It seems counter-intuitive to me to not use your strongest (index) finger in your grip. Why did you stop using it as your fulcrum and how have you found making the adjustment? :)

    When I play doubles with my right, it's smooth as silk, left hand, it's like I've never seen a drum stick before.

    • @abc456f

      @@abc456f I've played a drum kit for 30 years, in cover bands and church but I've not really played anything where I've needed to learn or play rudiments. I gig most weekends year round but since all my gigs got cancelled from mid-March due to Coronavirus I have deliberately not practiced or played on my kit. In the last 10 years that I've been gigging solidly I've only ever practiced to learn new songs but I've decided to use the virus quarantine to only practice rudiments and only on a pad. My right hand is pretty good but my left hand is horrible. Way too much tension and elbow movement and way slower than the right. If I had two right hands I could probably play doubles at 200bpm but the fastest I can play doubles and keep my lefts and rights even is about 130. I'm only practicing variations of doubles and paradiddles because lets face it, I've gotten by for 30 years without even knowing what most of the rudiments are even called.

      I saved four or five of robs more basic lessons to my UA-cam library and I go back to those daily and my left hand has shown definite improvement. In fact I do a lot of these lessons only with my left hand because my right is in pretty good shape.
