Wow, I'm on a back to basics mission to get rid of bad habits on my left hand and develop good fundamentals and as I'm on the pad watching this the way you're describing this is just genius. It's like an epiphany
Esse professor é muito bom, estou aprendendo o push pull, Beto kkkkk eu sei que é estranho perguntar assim do nada, mas já vi vc fazendo o push pull, eu não entendo pq meus pulsos ficam baixos em altas velocidades, já fiz de tudo, estou começando a achar que é meu pulso que é diferenciado KKKKK
In the short time I've been studying, I find much of drumming is having an awareness of gravity and the mechanics of the body. I have not come across anything so in depth to these ideas like I have in these series of videos. Usually, these ideas are only mentioned in passing. This is a great help to having an advanced understanding of the 'basics' to drumming. Tremendous.
I'm 44, and think I'm the teen being taugh by that orignal teacher using the stick-fulcrum misconception. I've been making it work for over 25yrs, but I'm also a Physics major, and this vid was definitely an eye-opener. I can't believe I didn't make the keep-fingers-on-the stick correlation before. Super!
I been banging away, self taught, for almost 30 yrs. Now I'm starting all over. I feel like I'm better in 1 week of practice than I've ever been. You are awesome!
As a self taught drummer, I've been unbalanced all my many years of drumming, and subsequently it's made it even harder to improve my chops! Your vid is a revelation, I am indebted to you for revealing the mechanics of the fulcrum, many, many thanks!
Hello, I am very happy that I have the opportunity to watch a video of such a professional as Gordy and I want to express my deep gratitude to him! Thanks Gordy! I liked the video school and I would like to improve my drums technique with the help of your tips.
Yes yes! I lav this kind of teachers and teachings, it's helps me diving deeper into the art of drumming. Being thourow in the basics is really a joyfull.
Gordy!! I just discovered you on youtube ... and I have to say, i've never seen anyone explain the fulcrum the way you just did. Brilliant!! I am super excited to go through all your videos and learn everything I can. I don't know where you are located but I would take lessons from you in a minute if you teach privately!! Thanks for the great videos!!
I am determined to learn your style of playing.............only wish I had years ago! Thanks for this lesson, I know what it is your doing and yet it has been so hard for me to break old habits and re-train the brain............
Oi bom dia Gordy parabéns gosto muito do seus videos essa tecnica é muito muito incrível só que eu vir so agora tive um pequeno acidente de moto na mão esquerda e esse sua tecnica ta mim ajudando nos movimento do meus dedos mesmo vim aqui agradecer a você por ter compartilhado essa tecnica incrível pra todos nos valeu parabéns Gordy Knudtson
Thanks for these awesome vids. I have a question. Sometimes I take the sticks between first and middle fingers and push and pull it with other fingers Similar to french and german grip but i don't use my thumb and hold sticks by first and middle fingers) By this strange mannar i can play fast and heavy very easy! It really works for me and improves the quality of sound fairly. Did you hear about this technique? I guess im not the first one that use this strange manner! Or maybe because my first instrument is bass and my fingers are powerful i think its easy and practical i don't know! Thanks.
Thanks! I have seen what you describe before, but not very often. If it works for you, use it. The issue most people would have with this is needing callouses between the first two fingers, where the stick pivots in the hand.
I do that as well.. unorthodox but can get fast singles etc a bit like French grip...I thought I was only drummer that did this...so..nice to hear you do as well 😁
I really hope you read this because I've seen, while looking for your videos, that there are several people uploading them. I took a screen capture on my phone but I seem unable to send it to you via youtube app.
Ok, keep the fingers on the stick at all times, but how far back to you put the pivot point / fingers for optimum balance? It seems if I try to hold the stick as far back as possible it does not bounce very well and therefore is not in balance, and if I go too far forward same thing.
Hi Gordy. Sorry if this has been covered earlier. I noticed that you said that the middle & ring fingers need to always maintain contact with the stick to have a smooth action. Is there a reason you didn't mention the little fingers also? Thanks in advance.

EXACTLY!
SAME !!
This is by far the best lesson on fulcrum I've ever seen.

Hey Gordy! I have never been thinking about the stick and grab like this way till this time! Ty for the very interesting approach! 😎
Can we get a series on foot technique ? It would help immensely.
very very very good explanation
Thanks for your knowledge, your explanations are great.

hola , saludos de venezuela, muy buenos videos las tecnicas excelentes, no pueden colocar los videos con subtitulos en español, gracias por compartir
Genius the best!!! Master Clas
Thank you for the information and inspirations. On a side note you should play in a band with Devin Townsend and call yourselves the Look Alikes

I mean seriously.. Like not seriously..but seriously thank You SIR!
Hi Gordy.

Thanks in advance.
The little finger gets involved when it gets loud. The louder you play the more fingers you need on the stick to control it.

Quite scientifically explained. What if you spoke in terms of Biomechanics?
A+++
