Learn to Spin a Drumstick | The Complete Method

This week I learned how to spin a drumstick between my fingers. The Finger Pass is one of the hardest pen and drum stick spinning tricks but even as a complete beginner I learned how to do it and in this tutorial I show you how you to do it too.

Your challenge for this video is to learn to do the finger pass technique (as explained in the video), using either a pen or drumstick. Post a video of your progression on Instagram, Twitter, Tiktok or UA-cam and tag @smallwinstv and #smallwinschallenge
The Finger Pass technique:
Concept: Spin the stick 360 degrees around each finger from index to pinky and back to index
Starting position: Index finger on top, thumb and middle finger below
Technique:
- Learn the 5 triangles, start at 1, then repeat 2-5
- Use the thumb and middle finger to set the stick in motion, then apply small amounts of force with each finger to keep the momentum of the stick constant
Progression:
1. Use your opposite hand to move the drum stick through each position
2. Remove the supporting hand and move the stick through each 'triangle'.
Tips:
- To get a fluid motion relax the fingers and don't apply too much tension
- To increase speed, keep the stick as close to the tips of your fingers as possible
- Practice little and often (e.g. 10 mins every day)

Because of my job, I am on the roads for about 6-8 hours every single day so I just practice while I’m driving (since there’s never anyone in my passenger seat I have plenty of space to practice) and I can pick up on things in a very short amount of time like this… it’s also the place I learned how to solve a Rubik’s Cube… And occasionally I’ll use my steering wheel as a practice pad and I’ll practice my paradiddles and five stroke rolls and whatnots…

When we were teens, I asked my old friend and bandmate (one Neil Peart), how to spin a drumstick after rehearsal when we were all sitting outside one warm day, upon seeing him doing that. Neil (somewhat reluctantly) showed me the method you ar doing. I tried for a minute or two, but gave up. Maybe I'll try again, thanks!

[@SmallWins]

Give it a try Joe. I'm sure you'll be able to get it!

[@RohinaBrinsdon]

Very nice trick, I saw the first step of this kind of movement by dr. house, doing by dr. chase with his pencil. By the way, yor flat ist very nice, too.

Im doing it on bed with the idea of not braking my sticks 😂, and oh boy, got it sort of working in 20 minutes, was great lesson thanks 🍻
I have to say though that my chest, knees, and specially balls 🤣 are actually sore of how many times sticks fall off and trust me anybody, time after time it really harm 😂

[@TillyRoseTV]

Wicked skill!!

[@SmallWins]

Thanks Tilly!

[@irfanjan4558]

U r the best teacher ever

[@mtbsieppo]

I've learned this using thumb instead of pinky... geel a bit easier that way. One spin goes easy but it's hard to keep it spinning

POV: the unique drumstick breaks

[@benspurgeon7011]

Not my fault you're slow! Now to learn this...

[@UncleFjester]

OK Good video, Now with the same sticks, balance them on each finger, Much like the way SpaceX lands their boosters.
Pointy end of the sticks up
Have fun with it, its tough

[@CharCheez-zu3vn]

[@officialWWM]

[@DonavanCade331]
