I'm not a drummer, but I feel like buying a practice pad just to rejig my rhythm fundamentals in my head now! Also, I had to laugh (sorry) at the early anticipation of the "four" in the 60BPM count-in ;-)

[@danyulwilliams9823]

I love the exercise!!! It’s so helpful for me on the drums!!! 🥁 ❤😊😊❤😊😊❤

[@millerfisherman1989]

Love drumeo but I'm sorry... but this is not HOW you do double strokes.
there should be one hand movement (down then and a bounce up) per stroke...you are showing two hand movements per stroke which misleads people trying to learn.

[@The_Jazziest_Coffee]

absolute truth

[@Jessticks2319]

Yup I have played this wrong for years as a result of people showing it wrong at slow speeds and not explaining the technique is a simple throw catch .

[@zachariahcarter2606]

Yeah. This handicaps people.

[@theresnothinghere59]

in fact that's what i was asking myself...

[@harrywang4149]

Is it more like a double single stroke？

[@yoboygilbert1482]

It’s more like a single stroke with an accent initiated by your fingers. If it’s not a single, it’s a double

[@justinnaramor6050]

@@yoboygilbert1482 And therein lies the problem with this bullshit video. Oh, yes, this video is in fact bullshit. The guy literally just explained "double strokes" as if it's just 2 single strokes with one hand, I.E the hand comes down to start the stroke and then up to end the stroke, but twice in a row. This is fucking wrong... the way to actually do double strokes, especially at faster speeds, is by essentially getting 2 drum strikes out of a single down/up movement cycle in the hand (or the leg, in the case of a pedal-operated drum such as a bass drum). It's not a matter of getting 2 drum strikes out of 2 down/up motion cycles as the guy falsely demonstrated.
A single stroke is like a piano: you hear a note when the key goes down, but you hear nothing when the key comes back up. So on the drum, for a single stroke, you hear a sound when the player's hand goes down toward the drum, but you hear nothing when the hand goes back up.
A double stroke is more like tremolo picking on a guitar: you hear a note when the plucking hand pushes the string down toward the bottom of the guitar, and another note when the hand pulls the string up toward the top of the guitar. So on the drum, with a double stroke, you hear a sound when the player's hand goes down, and another note either when the hand goes up or just before it moves up. Either way the idea is the same: 2 sounds out of one single down/up motion cycle. It is precisely for this reason that heavy metal drummers, such as the drummer from the band Epica for example, can play double kick rhythms at such ridiculously high tempos.

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

The problem is the big fans only 2 was deployed as a 2 states solutions but there are 3 pipes 😭

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

So the rolls have mismatched and couldnt synchronize 😭

[@chaneppchannel_365]

Do you tense your wrist ?

[@shizzlepecks]

Your question is valid because he’s not actually showing you double strokes at all. These are singles. I dunno wtf drum educator had oversight of this. Double stroke is letting the stick bounce and you’re holding the stick and your fingers are catching the rebound. So essentially one wrist flick should get your two hits, hints the name double stroke. But this doesn’t tell you anything and is wrong ha.

[@connernelson6795]

I will apply this!

[@StarcraftNemesis]

dats cool and nice but 2 things, why double strokes with 16teenth? i wanna play thirty seconds note with it so the tempo is way higher than in the beginning. and why you not talking about physics?

[@Stack-12]

I’m kind of weird. Even though I’m right handed I always start with the left hand on double strokes

[@meetalimistry6555]

Notes shoud in first should have one line on it as it reapresentes 8th note no double line wich reapresents sixtinth note

[@kawaii7573]

It’s 16th notes not 8th if you listen to the bpm

[@xa-pf4dz]

Can't do this this
Because I'm a kid drummer

[@NicCounty]

age dont matter my guy

[@One-rf3vf]

I’m a kid drummer and I can do it

[@joephillips-ki8qg]

Well, did ya ever grow up and learn this?

[@vladimaid5355]

What a mini snare?

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

These rolls are from tobacco roll ups, so one has been flushed down the toilet and the other one is floating because of the miss match and now is pointing @ 11 😭

[@aninjatuna8576]

This is just two singles strokes on each hand... not correct.

[@POOKIE5592]

aninjatuna8576 So what is it supposed to be then?

[@Oluwaxheun]

​@@POOKIE5592Don't mind him

[@aarbor6606]

​@@POOKIE5592 I think what he means is that the guy in the video is using his wrist for every stroke. Double strokes are where you get two strokes in one wrist movement. The most common way to do this is to let the stick rebound on the first hit and use your fingers to pull the back of the stick up so the head hits the drum again

[@SixStringJoy]

Yeah exactly. 👍🏻

[@klausschwab-c2t]

amen.
and he's not the only one showing this poor technique.

[@factsoverfiction7826]

The great drummer Ray Bauduc brought me here:
"Big Noise from Winnetka"!

[@tasshingastephen3327]

He is the best

[@SpiritsOfAnotherDay]

Duh Bowls 🥁

[@derekpineda1378]

Nice!

[@AnaCleideFalcao-ne6jy]

o que

[@ElrondMcBong.]

Those are not double strokes! That's just two single strokes per Hand.

[@shdd_ph4345]

caseoh ahh

[@shdd_ph4345]

[@shdd_ph4345]
