How To Do Drum Stick Tricks - Flip, Twirl, Spin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 жов 2024
- 7 different styles of stick tricks: easy fake, hard fake, backward, forward, flip, helicopter, half back to stroke. I am not the best stick twirler out there, but I spent many years fidgeting in the back of band class so I have a few tricks up my sleeve to help you get started.
Sorry if this isn't the most helpful video ever produced. About 50% of commenters think its really useful and the other half are still like "what just happened?" There are like 100+ other videos on stick spinning and there are only a few ways to do it, so if my explanation doesn't work for your brain, please watch a few others and you'll piece it together eventually. Good luck!
Try putting "Watch in 0.5x if you can't follow" in description, it helps figuring out what happens.
I thought it was great!
now I can do fake twirls to impress people
i can’t get it
I remember watching this back in like 2015 when I was just starting as a drummer and now.....I still can't twirl but you know, with practice anything can be achieved.
Been playing drums for 8 years, still can't twirl sticks. This does help but I can't seem to start to speed it up. The sticks always fall out of my hand. Should I just practice more doing it slowly or should I try to do it faster and see if I can get it?
The Undertaker I learned all of these while sitting around bored in band class... pretty much. So, more time spent is probably the best answer. Sometimes going slow does hinder rather than help. Attempting a quick twirl won't hurt anything and you might be right, that might be easier.
The Undertaker my dad has been playing for years and me (his daughter) learned how to in 2 days. he was impressed
I learned after a while. I don't like doing nothing during breaks at drumline practice, so I take out my pair and twirl it between my fingers a bit, and try and copy some tricks that drum corps use. I've gotten a lot better, though it took a long time. My one friend, however, just spent a whole day at his house doing the same thing and can twirl them better than the majorettes can. So while he was trying to look cool, I was learning the music.

You don't actually need stick tricks to be a good drummer.
I put it in slow motion to help see how to do the flip, it really helpful! Thank you!
thanks i am in a metal band at the moment and that really helped
hows the band?
Gonna have to remember these tips even though I am not a drummer, I feel they may be useful for anyone who fidgets. Not sure why I want to learn stick tricks so badly, but I do, heh
have you learned drums yet I WILL TEACH YOU
@@immortalhamster1645 Nope 😅
These are solid, but very doable showmanship adds. Thanks!
I just need something to do while I'm in a break of a song. Kinda tired of sitting there looking clueless. This should help
This is actually great, I mean, all other videos are like 30 min bulshit and this one is just precise, consise and helpful, thanks!
So you know how you can get songs stuck in your head? Yeah well the sound of falling drumsticks is stuck in my head:/
aka how to be cooperdrummer
Simon Huang basically
I always wanted to lean how to do those you are awesome
Same sticks I have. Very nice.
I set my sticks on fire and tried this.
Burned the house down.

Hope you managed to *BEAT THE FLAMES OUT* (B-BUM)
I still don't know how to do the Over/under twirl! help meh! :[
Great vid! Helped a lot!
thanks for the tips
Nice drumstick and tricks
When I try to do the most simple fake twirl, the stick just keeps slipping into one direction and the balance goes off, and if I try hold it tighter it starts to really hurt my fingers cause there is only the bones of my fingers to hold it, no muscle to soften it up. Do I have to strengthen my finger muscles or what?
That area isn't really designed for holding a hard object like that. It's normal for it to be uncomfortable. I've had students say the same thing about traditional grip as well. You get used to it after a while, or maybe you don't. Perhaps that's just not something your hands are suited for. Hard to say. I'm not sure there is anything specific you can do other than practice it.
+Ryan Alexander Bloom Thanks for the reply. I've practiced a little bit the spin where the stick goes around every finger so maybe I'll stick with that, it's harder to learn but it doesn't hurt my fingers so it's more comfortable to do.
+Ryan Alexander Bloom, I have had those sticks before... somehow they broke. They was good drums stick to me tho.
Katie Simmons I actually really don't like ProMark in general because their sticks seem to have an above average tendency to warp. Perhaps they don't dry the wood well enough or maybe they don't use quality hickory. In any case, I have a few pairs of various ProMarks and I'll play Vater or Vic Firth over them any day.
Ryan Alexander Bloom They probably do not use great quality wood.. Or like you said, they did not dry them. I agree.
The helicopter one is calling my name!😂
thanks for this. :D really helped
+Angela Rae Hufano no problem.
Can anybody tell me why, when I do the "fake twirl" between my index and middle fingers, the stick always walks up to my finger tips and ruins the twirl?
I've been twirling for nearly 45 years. Not much I hav'nt seen or have done!
if you wanna actually be able to do tricks while playing you gotta do trirwls that go through the fingers. i got really good at them by watching mark mironov and pavel korchagin. they both do them in time while playing and it looks fucking rad.
I'm not sure if that statement is totally true. The most common twirl used by drummers while playing is the first thing I show. The easy fake. Its between your fingers, but it doesn't actually move anywhere. Pretty much every time you've ever seen a twirl in the middle of a beat, this is it.
Ryan Alexander Bloom sure but it also makes the least amount of sense to do in a beat. you dont wanna be doing tricks that force you to put the stick between your fingers. at least i dont, id rather learn proper throws and twirls. they are also much cooler looking especially if you can combo them together. you can twirl sticks between your first three fingers over and over and you just turn your wrist to make it look like youre doing alot more than you are.
if you want check out pavel and mark. they actually do tricks in the middle of live playing and its because they use proper twirls. its a natural motion unlike the fake twirl.
TheRadrussian1 playing from between the fingers is weird from a drum set perspective, but it's exactly like playing the Burton/Musser grip in mallet percussion. So for a lot of percussionists it's not weird at all. It may be less natural, feel weird to pure drum set players, and not look as cool, but all I'm saying is that it's what almost all drummers actually do because it's easy to learn and quick to do on the fly.
Ryan Alexander Bloom but it shouldn't be the extent of your studies, especially if you want to be able to play tricks in the context of a song whenever you want.
I think you want lift so you can flip several times on one flip. I practice that so I can catch falling sticks.
Hey I’m getting the hang of it
U nid to commit like 2 weeks and u can do it andneverstop do it, its really addictive! Keep in mind that ur twirl needs a precise movement so you wanna twirl not with ur fingers, you wanna twirl with your wrist movent when the stick reach a certain tempo. Try to focus on whats the stick doin tryhard and you will get it!
I can a perfect right hand fake twirl how can i add it tomy playing? Do you spin with the bpm of the song?
I don’t do any twirls or spins at all when actually playing. I do these mostly to fidget while waiting around for other people to be ready to go. But there’s no wrong answer unless it interferes with your actual playing.
@@RyanAlexanderBloom like me, but i wanna do it while playin..
i dont get the over and under twirl 😣
Really Nice video ! Thank you ! =D
I am starting to learn how to play drums.Which brand would you recommend as "beginner sticks" ? =)
The most basic sticks are Vic Firth American Classic 5A or 5B... Whichever feels right. I'd say 5B if you want to actually learn how to play rudimentally, or 5A if you are just dabbling and want a lighter drum set type stick.
I wish i could do the other twirl tricks i can only do the fake twirl but ima keep practicing
Good ! 🥁
wow thanks alot
this video is useful for people who are at the amateur state of playing drums as they show off coz they think they are professional
Omkar Dixit like I say in the video I don't really do any of these, but the drummer from Static X actually had a really good repertoire of tricks that he incorporated into his playing seamlessly. One of the best I've seen.
good video! by the way, which drumsticks model are those?!
+Mauro Garrido I think they're the Pro Mark Simon Phillips. I really don't like them, no bounce at all. Just totally dead. The tip shape doesn't give any definition either. Simon is kind of a noob when it comes to stick design.
I'm not a drummer, but I have some drum sticks to play with.
👏✌️
I got exact sticks
Hold the sticks under u hand in and do the helicopter u do it wrong have ur palm flat and catch it with out moveing ur hand it’s called no strings attached
Sure, I did say in the video that I never do these on stage. I'm not that worried about it whether I can do that particular trick your way. You're probably right, but I'm not gonna practice it either way.
It always flings up and hits my face
MEGA HELPFUL
i dont know how to do that because u just show off that spinning techniques , it will be different if you explain one by one -_-
Not sure what you mean. I do them quite slow and explain as I go. Perhaps you didn't actually watch the video? I don't know how to break it down any farther without being in the room with you.
In my opinion he's right, but i also think it's a general problem in a lot of those twirl videos. E.g. the second one (fake twirl with bottom&up movement) is hard to copy, although you turn down speed. I played it for- and backward including stop-and-go maybe for 10Minutes now and I'm still more experimenting than really being able to retrace your movements, especially because I don't get what you are doing with your thumb there, it's not needed in the original (first) fake tw. Maybe i'm stupid, ok. But I think it's more the fact that most people need some "elevated" 3D-envisioning to get the ideas from the most twirl education videos like this. Thanks for showing anyway, I'll hang on trying. :)
@@RyanAlexanderBloom that weren't slow
It looks like he has the same drum sticks as me rock band lol
How to do
Still not get it.xD
i cant even do the first one, well i cant even play the drums
Hi
Stop flipping your stick when teaching! Students and parents are paying good money. Be professional and give the student full attention and instruction and value in the short time they have each lesson.
Well, I see your point. But I really only flip the stick while I'm not using that hand for anything else, and since I can do it with my eyes closed it really requires no attention from me. I don't look at it or think about it. so the student isn't missing out on anything from me. Often the student is engaged in attempting a feat of coordination that so engrosses them that don't notice anyway. Plus, the average student wastes far more of their parent's money by not practicing, insisting on telling me stories about unrelated events in their life, and generally screwing around instead of listening to me. What my stick is doing on auto-pilot in my hand is pretty far down the list of things that make a lesson inefficient. Yeah, it would probably be more professional not to do it at all, but all I'm saying is my fidgeting (I'm a drummer by the way, gotta fidget) is not going to be the reason that lesson time and money is wasted. If students were routinely coming in prepared, practiced, and focused on drums and were seriously getting distracted by a stick flip here and there I would be in the wrong for sure. So far that isn't the case. I'm usually the one trying to reign them in and get something accomplished becauae I do realize someone is paying me hard earned money. That's not lost on me.
Ryan Alexander Bloom you are awesome and quite right.
the twirl isnt possible to do hes doing to the wrong way for beginners and it gonna make them cry which isnt nice
next
I dpnt understand the fake one.
Sup it's so hard
For the first one my sticks end up flying out of my hands
