    This is what 95% of Double Stroke videos do not discuss. He did a great job in demonstrating it. Thanks!!

    One of the most important fine techniques to learn in drumming, and yet it is the one with the fewest videos on UA-cam. There are only a handful of good videos which teach this technique well. This is definitely one of them.

    I've been practicing non-stop for the past six weeks and I'm *so* happy with the progress I've made. Haven't had this much fun making music in all of my 37 years and almost 20 of drumming. I can play things cleanly and consistently I couldn't imagine even trying half a year ago.
    That being said - your approach flipped a switch in my head. There's a time before and after, because after trying this for just a couple minutes, it felt like I never did anything else.
    This might be one of the single most important lessons I've learned while grinding *everything* , so thank you very much indeed!

    I struggled with understanding the actual motion of double stroke but I finally got it after doing it a few times
    thanks a lot

    Man; thank you for this lesson. I’ve been playing forever but I’ve ALWAYS felt like my doubles are so sloppy and inconsistent. This is so awesome.

    Been playing drums since I was 6, but only for fun. Could hold a steady 4/4 with the basic fills moving down the kit and ending with a crash. Started a 3 man band 4 years ago as a hobby and to jam with my friends in my free time (I'm now 30), and only last year because of Covid, I really had a lot of time to learn more about drumming. I literally found myself going through all the basics; like how to hold the stick correctly, working on basic rudiments like double stroke rolls, paradiddles and 6 stroke rolls, tuning the drums, reading basic sheet music, etc. I still have a long way to go, but it fascinates me how much these basic tools help in playing. 1 year made a hell of a lot of difference! All this knowledge is out here on youtube, and people like you spend a lot of time doing the dirty work so that the content is available for the rest of us. I have this bank of information, and all I have to do is keep working on these fundamental concepts and rudiments to allow me to physically orchestrate them on the drum set and have them sound good. I've been watching your videos often, and I just want to thank you (and others like you) from the bottom of my heart for taking the time and effort to get these highly informative videos out. You have definitely earned a subscriber and hopefully one day I can get good enough to teach you something!!

    Josh, for all the "lessons" and videos I have watched on finger technique and practicing doubles, your video is one of the best I've seen at explaining, demonstrating, and showing different angles of your grip and use of the fingers. Absolutely awesome! Thanks! (and I had NO idea your video wasn't "scripted"!)

    Respects. I always played double strokes without the help of my fingers, even though i knew it was preferable, I couldn't do it.
    Great job, hands down the best video for this technique.

  • @seanallen4484
    @seanallen4484 Рік тому +4

    Josh, I've been a guitarist for decades, but recently set a goal to learn drums so I could record my song ideas without programming drums. I knew that somehow the double strokes were based on some kind of controlled bounce, but your video made it instantly clear how it works and how to practice it. Many thanks to you my friend!

    Oh, this is awesome. Thank you for that basic mechanical explanation on how this is to be accomplished. Other videos are borderline humble-bragging by "displaying" how simple double strokes are to do, but yours actually shows how to train for doing proper double strokes. I appreciate you making this video.

    I can play doubles really evenly and and soft and loud without my back fingers on the sticks but definitely feels like I don't have complete control when I comes to going from singles to doubles and accents. You explain it very well on what's necessary to achieve control so I will practice you instructions to get it right.
