How To Develop Finger Control
Вставка

- Fingers are one of the three main mechanics of drumming. It's important to do exercises that isolate the fingers to develop better control and awareness of movement. Application is often the most difficult part of this technique. This video demonstrates isolation and dexterity building exercises along with useful ways to apply the technique.

As a self taught drummer at 60 years old ,when I watch you videos I clearly see why I have skill gaps in certain areas , but at 60 I’m still learning . Thank you.
It's never too late to end each day better than the last.
@@MariaWulfMusic at 60 I’m not trying to compete with anyone with my playing , UA-cam will show you really fast that there are 10 year olds that can clean you clock . I’m just trying to enjoy finding answers to why I could never play certain things . This video gives me insight into that . Thanks.
Keep learning! You're awesome!:DD
I am a self-taught drummer too. Great to know you are one of me too!
Me too go ladies
This one video, 50 years ago. Would have changed everything.
Share it to those children you know so they won't have to echo your sentiments
Oh, I am SO feeling that
Or, maybe availability of UA-cam 50 years ago would have changed everything.
Yup
This information has been available for at least 50yrs. The problem was finding a teacher who taught it.
finding good instructors on youtube makes me so happy. people that thoroughly explain every step with the why and the how is just amazing
Yeah it's hard to find quality videos like this. I subscribed instantly. Happy drumming my friend 😄
Thank you for this. I realized I was practicing control and rudiments in French grip and then when I actually wanna play, I play American grip. Now I can change it.
Wow this is probably the best I have seen in this topic. very clearly explained! Thank you. I can’t wait to see the traditional grip!!!!
Agreed. 1000%
This is by far, the best lesson on basics on sticking and practice regimes. So simple and yet most practical. Very well presented. Thank you. 🙂
Thank you very much. I'm glad you're liking it.
My finger technique is terrible, this is the absolute best video I have accidentally stumbled across. I wish I'd see this 3 years ago when I started playing. Thank you.
Love the no frills, no backwards baseball cap, style here. These are the exact technique lessons my teacher taught me years ago. I was looking for a good refresher. Found it. Subscribed.
I have had lessons from a city orchestra percussion leader, another guy that only put me on stick control on snare, only. I lost interest in him, I was 11. Lessons from a decent teacher from a music store, and also from a multiplatinum celebrity drummer, and maybe someone I am spacing out, then I worked in a music store with a daily visit from various pro's that would hang out, do clinics, and many drummers on a daily basis, still it was this video that finally showed and explained this technique and how to practice it. Great lesson, thank you.
I don't have any musical instrument practice except acoustic guitar for 6 months and i always find myself watching a ton of drum videos. It looks so fun and honestly i think i really want to try. Thank you for this video because it will be awesome to practice this when i get some stix on my hands.
From a lady to a lady, thank you! Your technic is very useful. Great channel.
I strugged with finger technique (or a lack thereof) for years. With your exercises I already see progress very quickly, it's like I finally get it now. The third exercise did the trick for me, together with rotating between French and match grip. That was exactly what I was doing wrong, I was doing finger drumming with French and then "normal" drumming with match grip
Thanks ! Just starting. Great advice!!!
Looking forward to the upcoming practice video!
What makes this video so excellent is that you continually show the stick and finger action when you explain. thank you will practice …
All I have rn is a drum pad but getting an electronic kit for Christmas, but have been watching TONS of videos on drums and technique, and this is by far one of the best ones out there. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you. I'm happy to hear that it's been helpful.
Wanted to thank you for this video and the press roll video as well. It seems like you explain things fully and don't hold back info. So glad you randomly popped up in my videos.
Informative, to the point, smart, no BS, no commercial sell, pro level. Thank you.
This is an amazing channel. The level of detail is awesome. Thanks for enabling comments so that I could thank you for creating these thoughtful lessons!
I appreciate the support, Chris.
So good I was waiting for the sales pitch. This channel is super awesome.
I don't even play drums but I kept watching. Good video.
Yup :))

Thank you so much👍
This is probably the best and most practical way I've seen it explained. Good job!
Just wanted to stop by again and say the adding and removing fingers exercise is SUPER helpful. I remember someone talking about this exercise on reddit. Didn't think much of it at first but wow, just been doing this two days and I'm astounded by the results. Please make more videos like these!!
Great explanation! Thank you Maria!
Fascinating tutorial. Sure wish my grade school instructor would have taught us this technique. Can't wait to try it out!
This class is awesome! I play timpani / timbales drums and this was very helpful. Thanks Maria 👍🏼
Thank you so much for this video!!
This is fundamental for high end Buddy Rich level performance. Thank you so much for this. Super complex control starts here. These are the pillars for high end performance.
🎉thank you for the most concise demonstration I have seen!
Fantastic! You covered everything in a thorough and useful approach. Many great ideas with all the finger’s being incorporated. Kudos!
Thank you so much for uploading this, i have a lot to fix in the foundations of my drumming and this is so helpful
This is brilliant! Thank you for making this video.
Maria, thanks so much for these great videos. Very helpful!
Excellent video and great concise explanation.Thanks a lot, this was very helpful. 👌🏼
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I really struggle with finger control. I can't wait to start with these exercises. Thank you
this is a great video. thank you.
I never seen a Video so well done!! thanks so much, I will start to practice in this way
Thank you for sharing! I wish I had been taught this years ago.
Awesome exercises, thanks for sharing!
Also self taught, never learned this stuff, so thank you.
Thank you for this! Looking forward to the traditional grip video, too!!
Thank you!!!! I have been meaning to address this challenge for years and I will use this lesson to help me!!! I appreciate you!! 🥁
Great presentation, thank you!
Amazing thank you! It really makes sense and I have loads to try now
This video is just great! Thanks so much.
Very good instruction and demonstration- Thank you
Thank you! Very detailed explanation about the topic. The video is awesome.
Thank you very much, that's the clearest thing I've seen!!!!
This is such a great video. I can’t thank you enough for your content!
This video was so excellent and informative. I'm just beginning working on my finger technique and will surely follow all your advice here. Thank you so much!
Maria kudos for keeping it so simple! Amazing work and great execution on technique! I’m sold on you…my first subscription! Thank you!
Excellent!
I'm in year 5 of my drumming journey and thank you so much for this video. I feel like this is really gonna help!
Outright brilliant! Thank you very much.
Suddenly I visually understand french grip and translate this to the kit. The flat wrist vs dangling/relaxed wrist. That genuinely made my head tilt to one side and it clicked. Time to practice this. Amazing stuff. Subbed
Thank you for this knowledge!!
Excellent, fantastic! I hardly see or find other drummers that preach hand control which is the most important technique to master
Just stumbled upon this lesson. Great info on finger control, which I struggle a lot with. Subscribed
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain finger control. Many people basically just tell ya to use your fingers off of the rebound... These exercises should definitely help my weak hand! Thanks!
Thanks 🙏 Great videos. Can’t wait to see the traditional grip lesson.
Wow! Superb instruction and demonstration. Subscribed! I'm going to study and practice this diligently, reviewing often.
This was so insightful, thank you! I'm a beginner and I enjoy rudiments so it's good that I can now do them with an awareness of finger technique too.
Thank you very much for these great tips! Great channel!
Best drum teacher on UA-cam, in my books! I'm really glad I found you early in my drumming journey :)
Thanks so much.
Excellent lesson and information. Thank you.❤
Fantastic instructions
Great Video! So well explained and simple technique. Will practice this for the next week and see how much it helps. Thx!
Thanks, fantastic video to increase my awareness and skills with finger control...just what I needed.
For the last 2 months, I've been wondering how to actually practice this. This is the only one that breaks downt he mechanics and how begin training it. Thank you, I really feel like my drumming will improve with thi.
This was a very good demonstration. Thank you.
Thank you so much, Maria. As others are saying, this video is an eye-opener and so different from the other drum channels in the world. So much details so easy to understand. All we need to do now is practice.................... which probably is the hardest part. Thank you from the far east (Tokyo).
Thank you for this!!! Really!!!! Helps me a LOT!!!! 🙏🙏
Thank you! Saved for later, as an amateur bass player, and MTB rider.
Seems to be useful for me too. :)
I just bought a practice pad and some sticks. I've never tried drumming before so this was really informative. Thank you.
These are great exercises. I'm looking forward to that traditional grip video!
My blast beats are going to get so much better now.
Well - just excellent instruction, ideas and exercises
Amazing video, thank you for the depth here 😮
Where were you years ago. Thanks for sharing and filling in the gaps for me.
I'm just learning, at 57, so am also very pleased to have come across your channel. I'm now a subscriber with you as my new teacher - thank you 😉
Very helpful thank you.
This is an excellent lesson, so, so useful. Thanks!
Great video. Thank you
Nice and clear instructions. 👍🏻
You taught and explanied clearly the basic skills of using drum sticks. Following the way, we can practice correctly everday.
WOW! I really appreciate your class, because with a few minutes for a few days I have considerably improved my way of playing, because I see that it is not the use of the arm/wrist but the fingers.
Your class is a treasure for us beginners!
And I am already one more subscriber to your channel.
Until the next class.
Thank you very much.
Thanks for the drum lesson I've been playing since the '70s and took a break for like 25 years working on the road doing sound and then now I'm getting back into it in my early '60s and this is a technique I only remember from timpani in school but you made it a lot more simpler which that makes it great so more speed more control thanks I just ran across your channel a few months ago really enjoy the in-depth teaching thank you very much
