Great video, and love most of your content, Derek. Having a wide dynamic range is one of the things that separates the great drummers from the good. Also, it seems so simple, but that paradiddle groove with the right hand on hi hat and left hand on snare sounds SO SICK.And the reason it does is because all your ghost notes are so consistent, in control and most of all QUIET.

Thank you Derek for this quality content. Great concise tips for using the stick control book and so articulate even though English isn’t your first language. Is your practice kit a Yamaha? Regards from Coffs Harbour, Australia.
Thank you so much!! I try my very best to explain the exercises in my best english ;-) It´s more like a Netflix/Podcast-english ;-) Yes, the drumkit is a Yamaha Stage Custom Birch! Great kit!!! And a TAMA snare. All the best for you! Greetings to Australia! Derek
