    ►Drumeo.com/faster/
    Drumming can basically be broken down into two things: singles and doubles. Most things we play are just a combination of these. Like a golfer working on their swing, a drummer needs to be working on perfecting these two strokes since they apply to almost everything.
    Note spacing and consistency are your tickets to reaching the next level in your playing. If your double strokes are threatening to-well-give you a stroke, here are five ways to stave off the sloppiness. And they really work!
    0:00 Introduction
    1:46 Accent the second stroke
    A concept taught by pros like Dave Weckl and Thomas Lang, practice accenting the second stroke of each double. Use your full wrist motion to get each one clean and powerful, and get comfortable with how this sounds and feels. Start slow and focus on that accent - it’ll naturally start to even out as you speed up.
    3:16 Practice with locked grip
    Since it has little to no rebound, practicing on a pillow (or the soft arm of a couch) is an incredible training exercise. Hold your sticks so the end in the palm of each hand (without gripping too tightly). The stick should function like an extension of your arm rather than being allowed to pivot. Now every stroke on the pillow is a result of your wrist movement. If you do this for five or ten minutes a day, you’re going to start noticing massive improvements.
    5:26 Displace your doubles
    To change the feel and orchestration around the kit, rather than playing square/regular doubles (RRLLRRLLRRLL), play inverted doubles (RLLRRLLRRLLR). Work that around the kit with the bass drum on every quarter note. Start with the right hand leading, then practice with the left. Get used to switching between square doubles and inverted doubles and see how the sound changes. It’s a more musical way to apply what you’re working on.
    10:00 Use the note value tree
    Practice cycling your doubles between quarter notes, 8th notes, 8th note triplets, 16the notes, 16th note triplets, and 32nd notes. Try it with the metronome at 60 BPM.
    14:50 Study the roll rudiments
    Whether you realize it or not, you’re always playing rudiments. If you want to unlock more possibilities in your drumming, work on the 5 stroke roll, 6 stroke roll, 7 stroke roll, 9 stroke roll, 10 stroke roll, 11 stroke roll, 13 stroke roll, 15 stroke roll, and 17 stroke roll.

      inktloos I was a professional drummer for my first few years of adulthood (before life took a radical turn) and, growing up in rural Australia and poor, my only access to music was collecting old tapes to record jazz from the radio, and sitting in a hot tin shed imitating what I heard. Now that I've returned to drumming as a passionate amateur in my early 40s, the resources utterly blow my mind! A completely different world.

      What's a Double Stroke ??? Just kidding.... These guys on UA-cam (Jared and others) scare me Man. I'm 69 years old and just got back into playing drums (if You can call it that ), after a 50 YEAR layoff... Got a cheap drum kit for XMAS from the wife, who knew me when I played in the garage band that never left the garage... zi was making an inquiry that I MIght go to a music studio to play the drums "to get it out of my System" So She got me a Gammon Drum kit . Now I'm hooked again. It will be great for my upcoming retirement before my arthritis gets the best of me.... I play along to MY Music (CCR, Petty, Meloncamp, Zombies, Stones, Beatles, Hollies, even Linda Ronstadt [You will be surprised at how good she was], Eagles, etc... ) in the basement , trying to keep to the beat of the music without missing too many . Charlie Watts , Ringo , yeah.... That's about my pace. Can't even Touch : Baker, Moon, Copeland ( a little maybe !!!), Piert (Whoa Baby), and many many other great Drummers .... But the name of the game is to have enjoyment and fun playing . Hopefully, with more practice and Muscle Memory , I'll become better at it ... Happy Drumming all - stay well in this madness.

      I endorsed this kit for a couple of years. Its the Peavey radial bridge pro 1000 set, the first drumset without lugs, the tuning screws went directly in this thick wooden ring at the top and the botton of the shell. With this technique they could make the shell only 3 mm thin.Two extremly annoying facts let the kit die. First, the drummers around the mid- 90s didnt accept the look of the drums and called it car rim, toilet seat and Second, the constructor of the set, Steven Volpp and Hartley Peavey got into a big fight and ended their corporation.....I am so sad i had to give it back, it was outstanding but i didnt have the money back in 2004…

      If you want to get better with singles, I'd say you should learn how to play blast beats and apply them to whatever music you listen to (doesn't have to be metal), and start practicing along to faster music in general. In my opinion, the best band to play along to for developing speed (in fills, in beats, in double kick) is Slayer

    For new folks looking for Drumeo vids to complement this: some of their "improving speed"-type videos include how to utilize your fingers for tighter doubles, i.e., without lifting the stick all the way every time.
    I guess this was for improving precision & technique, but for picking up, it's not always wrists, they have vids about - the push-pull or... I forget the guy's name who established the method... but yeah, using fingers to channel the rebound for doubles, triples, etc. I've been watching lots of Drumeo on YT and that concept has improved my speed & made paradiddles more productive to work on, as I'm practicing that finer dexterity.
