Hey everybody! I just uploaded a killer 30-minute warm-up that's perfect for applying these techniques to. Check it out here: ruclips.net/video/E1ceyKwDepw/видео.html
I've been a drummer for 20 years and have had to pour through various media... books/teachers/videos to learn alot of what you teach in this 12 minute video 👏
I am a "beginning beginner " got headache from watching all different videos "how to " and after viewing those videos I got more confused then before viewing those videos. Seeing Jeff's video ALL became completely clear in 12 minutes. Straight forward, and that is the way it has to be teached and shown. Thanks Jeff, this video helped me a lot.
As a teaching drummer of over 30 years, I have to say Jeff that that is some of the best teaching of grip and techniques I’ve ever seen. I love what you left out as well. No talking about where on your index finger the stick should stay, just get it on there. A lot of the grip has to be discovered. I like the golfer Ben Hogan’s quote it’s something like, “the answers you seek are in the dirt.” Your playing sounds amazing and your production is over the top. Congratulations man for making amazing videos and thanks for sharing your knowledge and your enthusiasm.
I once heard a wise man say, "Break it down to me like I'm a three year old!" Jeff, thank you for simplifying the art of drumming! You have taught an old dog new tricks! 👍🏽💯
My father just taught me how to read sheet music and the basics to start with rhythms before he died, and I had my doubts about how to hold the sticks, and with these techniques you helped me a lot. Thank you!
I played many years as self taught I was basically trying to reinvent the wheel throughout. Since I plateaued and started to cycle back to the bare basics this video was the best, most straightforward, didatic and clear that I found. Thank you
This is the first video that I’ve seen someone explain the push pull method this way and I been trying to learn it for months and with this video it took literally 5 minutes. THANK YOU
I've actually never heard some of these techniques explained so well. In my own personal experience these techniques require skill and experience, and I gained them and subconsciously applied them naturally after time, more and more efficiently by the year. This is a great launching point.
So great someone finally stepped up and did this video. I am really happy for every beginner to now have access to a lecture that brings together what I had to condensate by myself over the years watching hours and hours of videos on hand technique. You were able to accomplish that in 12 minutes, which is a big deal! You are really doing an excellent job at preparing and presenting your material. RUclips education par excellence! 👏
Big thanks! I noticed a void on YouYube in regards to a practical look at all the different techniques and did my best to remedy that. Going forward I want to address each of the techniques in more specific ways but figured it was good to start with a crash course of sorts at first.
@@JeffRandallDrumming Jeff, this was an awesome class! Thank you. I can wait to see the next classes, when you will address each of the techniques in more specific ways!
66 years young.. just revitalized my playing with a new E kit and decided I’ve been playing drums a long time but I want to become a drummer. Search a lot of teaching type videos here and gotta say this is the best one I’ve seen yet. All of them are good but this one does it for me.. I’m subscribed looking forward to more..
The best part about this lesson that I learned in the first few minutes is that you don't have to commit yourself to one or the other grip lol. You use them both or any portion of the gray area.
I love this lesson! I have watched many lessons, for I am 53 and just beginning, but your finger squeeze on the push pull has never been explained so well. Thank you!
This is a brilliant video. So inspiring to see drummers who have obviously worked so hard to achieve where they are, sharing insight and techniques for many to benefit. I love the drumming community! Cheers Jeff!
This is the best explanation I’ve ever seen by anyone. Thank you! I also now know what I need to do to progress and am much further along than I realized! Absolutely fantastic. New subscriber here.
From a teacher to a teacher: well done, really. Those who, in various manners, criticize and/or ridiculize this video either do not have any clue about its content or are guys who simply have no ambition to take a commitment on becoming a better drummer. Technique and feeling are not enemies, if you say that you're totally missing the point and/or have no ambitions. Nice job, Jeff. 👍🏼
Your video is absolutely amazing. Because you focus on sound and mechanics rather than anything else, you allow players to focus on what matters the most : freedom to produce the sounds we seek. However, what is insanely good here is your ability to condense a lot of crucial information taught through a lot of drummers during decades but in a neutral way. This is instruction at its purest : you don't have an agenda, you just want to help. And what you teach here takes years to truly master and use freely. I can't even believe this video is free... You have my deepest sympathies. I will share this video with every drummer I know because it is simply wonderfully crafted. Thank you, truly 🙏
Amazing the amount of A+ information that you packed here in 13 minutes. This is the best summary of the most useful hand techniques that I have viewed thus far.
Wow! I’m pretty much a beginner with a little experience way back in time. I purchased a Simmons 1200 kit. I’ve had fun experimenting. I’ve watched loads of You Tube videos. I have to say this video has done more than any of them! A simple break down and it WORKS! You bet I hit subscribed. Thank you for such a great video! I always wondered how to play Wipe Out, and now I can see how to. Thx again.
I’ve been playing for 40 years been on here on RUclips for years never commented about drum videos but I have to say this is the best thing I’ve ever seen on here as far as clarity techniques explanation not to mention you are an incredible drummer well done my friend
no joke, I've been playing drums for 40 years, learned the Moeller Method back in the day, this video has really answered some questions that I've never really found a clear answer to
Above all your explanation is by far the most simple and easy to understand. You’re genius. Thanks. Subscribed right away. Can’t wait for more useful tips.
This clip is excellent! Explanation parts are concise and easy to understand. The sample videos after each explanation show good detail of drummer’s movement from drum stick, finger, palm, hand, arm until shoulder. I think the lessons from this clip can be used for 1 year practice for beginners ! Thank you so much for making this nice video ! 👍🏻😁
I'm a total beginner and the push/pull stroke looked really hard. Yet here I am 5 minutes after Jeff's explanation, playing it just fine and grinning like an idiot. Squeeze the sticks at the right time and voila! It's like magic. Cheers, Jeff!
As someone who's in the middle of learning these techniques, I couldn't recommend this video enough. It answered a lot of lingering questions I had after watching so many other tutorial videos! One of the best teachers on youtube hands down
I’ve only recently taken up drumming and have a Carlsbro csd600 electronic kit. I’m 61 and drum for pleasure, not to be in a band. I would like to thank you most sincerely for your teaching, which has helped me enormously. Back to basics for me with lots of practicing. Thank you.
I just got my first drumsticks and practice pad yesterday to begin learning drums, and this video was really good for tips on how to start and a preview of what comes next. Thanks for a great video!
I truly hope this video helps you all out! If you're struggling with hand technique and need a bit more guidance then I'd love to work with you. For details on taking online lessons with me, visit my website here: JeffRandallDrumming.com
This video helps sooooo much! Seriously, you addressed my exact way of thinking about push/pull based on the way it’s taught on most videos. This video should be at the top of the list when it comes to a quick hand lesson. Amazing, man. Thanks!
Unreal video Jeff. I've never seen all the techniques and clips summarised like this. Great seeing you actually use them on the kit in real scenarios rather than just the pad. Great stuff, thanks a lot keep it up!
This is the best lesson ever! You put it all together so succinctly! Years and years of working on technique and this helps me relax knowing it really is a mix and flow of all the techniques- and that blending them prevents arm fatigue. That’s my biggest take away- now I can use different muscle groups and techniques to not only get a better sound, but to keep my arm from falling off when I’m playing 8 mins of 16th note HH grooves at a fast tempo. Awesome. Thanks Jeff!
In high school band, one summer, I taught my self fast/loud double strokes. I did so by practicing on a soft non-rebounding surface and inducing a rebound with my fingers as you last technique. This video certainly clarifies much for me. I especially liked your use of multiple techniques on different cymbals and drums. And what's funny is your spot-on opening with other instructors showing you a grip than taking off.
As everyone has said this is an amazing video and even an experienced drummer can learn a lot and open up their playing skills with this info. LOVE IT!
Thank you so much for this perfect video of instruction. I set the playback speed to 0.25 and it really helped greatly. Your form is perfect and your teaching style has my full attention.
This is the first video I have watched on your channel and this is wonderful, I think what has really affected my drumming is the way I hold the stick, thank you so much for this
I have to give you credit for explaining strokes the way that would have helped me when I started playing in 1969. Other than a few months of lessons, I am self-taught. What I and my drummer friends were limited to do back then was get plenty of concert tickets and sit as close to the band as possible. After the concert we'd spend hours over days discussing what we saw the drummer do. I used to say that anyone can play the drums and although that could be true, it takes a lot of study and practice to bring out your natural talent. In the end we should all be having fun!
Thanks again Jeff. You explain it all very clearly and your camera angles and editing makes it really easy to see what you are talking about. And, man, those hats of yours sound sweeeet! 👍🏻
Just turned 35 and I finally can return to the drums..ive been lucky enough to have been given many acoustic sets...thst I had no where to put or play. I have an alesis kit now and and happy to get back to my love
Thanks I really love this video, why because of the way you teach verbally communication was key and the demonstration of mechanics on how to perform this technique made it more simple to understand. You are a good teacher and I like your style of playing, thanks a lot I subscribed to your videos.
Thank you for breaking it down like this!!! Best instructional on hand grip. Love how you applied the push/pull to the different styles. Time to get to gettin - practice time!
This, THIS IS FUNDAMENTAL I purchased my sticks and the practice rubber drum for my rudiments. I want to start the right way doing things by the book. However this is truly a great start. Hand techniques is everything in this business. I'm glad someone explained it in great detail.

This video about 4 Hand techniques is useless to me, because sadly I've only got 2 hands.
😂
Lmfao
Naaah 😭
Keep practicing, you will get your 3rd hand in no time
I’ve gotta hand it to you, that made me chuckle.

This clip is excellent!
Explanation parts are concise and easy to understand. The sample videos after each explanation show good detail of drummer’s movement from drum stick, finger, palm, hand, arm until shoulder. I think the lessons from this clip can be used for 1 year practice for beginners !
Thank you so much for making this nice video ! 👍🏻😁
Hi Jeff, what excellent teaching. Your breakdown of the push pull concept was a great help. Thank you!
Excellent video! Really thorough and great advice without overcomplicating hand technique! Well done 👏
From an old drum instructor, good stuff. Clearly laid out and demonstrated.
hes like 20😂
@@imaculatedrumer1016 Ha ha. No, I mean I am an old drum instructor. But still play a lot in my late seventies.
Cannot thank you enough for this video. I get so tangled up in what’s the right and wrong way to hold sticks etc. You’ve cured my neuroticism!
I'm a total beginner and the push/pull stroke looked really hard. Yet here I am 5 minutes after Jeff's explanation, playing it just fine and grinning like an idiot. Squeeze the sticks at the right time and voila! It's like magic. Cheers, Jeff!
Great lesson. Easy to follow, with great examples on how you can use each technique
Well done Jeff. My grandson is learning to play and this is going to be super helpful in teaching him.
Dude has unlocked the universe on drumming for me
Thank God! Jeff is the only drum tutor who explains drum hand technique candidly & simply! Rock on dude!! 🙏🏽🌹

Just starting out and looking forward to getting some practical practice in now with these techniques. Thank you so much
The most helpful and most educative channel I have came across, I literally improved because of this channel😭🔥🔥
Good complete explanation of the different techniques.
much RESPECT
u've shown all the hand techniques required 2 level up and b a BADDASS drummer, (like yourself) without complicating it.
Best video I have seen in my entire life. Thank you so much!
Excellent , simple, straight forward approach on a topic that's been beaten to the ground.
Thanks!
Dude, I've seen so many videos about techniques. But this is the only one concise and structured. Thanks for the effort!!
Thank You For This Helpful Video to improve our handling of sticks
You mastered the art of showing a technique and doing blazing fast examples. Congratulation!
