Drumstick Finger Control Technique | Fast Single Stroke Roll | Drum Rudiments | TAMA Practice Pad

Finger technique or finger control of the snare drum stick is an important skill for every percussionist to practice. It is a necessary technique to have for playing fast single strokes, playing quietly as well as general playing all around.
Practice playing the exercise 8 on a hand where you play 8 strokes with your left then 8 strokes with your right then you alternate for 16 strokes at twice the speed, but only use your fingers.

The camera angle is top-notch. It is so easy to see what exactly is being done

[@verdanielt8449]

so is it more like using 70% finger and 30% wrist? CMIIW

[@Epicurus48]

Is it the finger motion or the wrist

[@camiloops.official]

Fingers ❤

[@venomxx2f399]

I have a question if my wrist is my wrist slightly moving ok or is it now not considered finger technique

[@boobtubenoob7061]

That’s a blended technique, if your intention is to play comfortably at a certain speed and you can with that technique then great. If your goal is to isolate your fingers and get the fastest single strokes possible using proper finger technique then work on controlling the motion with just your fingers, your wrist will move slightly with your fingers but it shouldn’t be generating the motion.

[@budstran2121]

is that stick no.2?

[@arhythmetic]

i believe it is the Promark BYOS marching stick

[@camiloops.official]

Heavy sticks build muscle 💯😁

[@Tr3v0rUnKn0wN]
