If you can't go up by ten BPM each day, I suggest working these exercises with one tempo per week. Each week increase the tempo. Riccardo is legit.

[@drew_on_drums]

Thus dude is insane, I'd pay top dollar to see this dude in a death metal band

[@hawkshawhawkins9273]

This is do-able. Pretty exciting stuff. Thanks, Riccardo!

[@bdubsworld8109]

🤯 His stick control is mind blowing 🤯
Ok I’m going to pick my jaw off the floor now.

[@charlesmolins7700]

He makes it look easy

[@remygaron8311]

AWESOME❤LOVED EVERY SEC OF IT 🥁🥁🇨🇦

[@ralphcalefati3972]

Sei grande.

[@cromagmax]

Genius ! And it ain’t no secret … it’s why Tony Williams said to hold the stil with your pinky and not the thumb and index

[@elitedrumlessons6174]

Unbelievable, I’m going to go for this but start much slower 😊

[@tamaman1559]

Mike Mangini 2.0 ... this dudes an incredible talent

[@TheMetalFreshTiger]

He has studied with him 👍 you can check an interview "suonare la batteria" made with him and mangini together

[@benking9160]

Even at his astounding speed and level, I still notice he does have a weaker or shall I say less perfect hand! Lol he is human.

[@FroopieRick]

I would start at 50 bpm and it will take me 6 years...but ok, I can still play death metal at 45...

[@TheMetalFreshTiger]

Già a 100bpm é un bell'inizio duro 😅

[@LeadingEdgeFitness1]

He's not actually showing us how to do it - more just showing what he can do

[@alkingborn4620]

and what's the sense of such a speed if you don't have neither musicality nor groove??

[@ryanbovine]

nah son he's got some pretty dope tutorials on his site (paid videos)

[@kenabila7471]

He's actually showing the routine of how to get faster not how to do the technique. This video is for improving that technique in a week. Not the actual technique.Its the routine.

[@craigohearn8652]

There no magic elixir. He's giving you the routine, it's up to you to build up to the speed

[@hawkshawhawkins9273]

@@craigohearn8652 Aye, there's the rub. Learn the routine, do the WORK to develop the speed.

[@madjom]

hats off to Mr Merlini, but at times this feels like a tutorial on getting carpal tunnel syndrome.

[@marcofinco6959]

His technique avoid getting carpal tunnel

[@ryanbovine]

carpal tunnel is actually afraid of getting Riccardo Merlini
