    I used to do 4800 double strokes about month every day (I still do sometimes, but now I work on your previous exercise with the 3 rudiments). I did the doubles in front of a mirror, so I could see what really happens in my wrists. I used to move my fulcrum a lot (to gain more rebound from a surface, though it wasn't really necessary) and it caused tension. After analysing the technique I've fixed it, developed proper double strokes and improved my dynamics. Thank god I know English well enough to watch your vids. You help me a lot, Rob. You're a great man!

      @@cardinaldriver I noted BeatDown's reply. I have to tell ya... It's definitely legit. I followed his tutorials for all individual types of drums ... ie... snare, kick, toms... all their own separate tutorials. They are spot on and you'll always be complimented on the sound of your drums. That is of course provided your heads are in decent shape and decent quality. Although I've tuned lower level cheaper heads using Rob's techniques and they do not sound bad. I recently went with the newer Evans UV2 heads on my Tama Starclassic Walnut/Birch kit and it sounds incredible. So.... just for what it's worth. Good stuff Bro.

    Rob, let me hit you with #RealTalk. This probably came at the right time of my drumming life, but this is far and away, your best lesson. Just about serious and tangible things for us to reach our potential. Just great advice. Also I’ve always wanted to say, that if I could be as relaxed and facile at the spot as you always are, man, my world would be different and I’ll hopefully live to get there. Lastly, I have a comment about your playing, since I just watched 14 minutes of comps 😉 challenge us and maybe yourself too a little, with a discussion on rests and the power when you say less at the kit. This is a big issue for drummers at all levels IMHO, including for sure me. Hope you’re feeling the love man, I don’t know why I feel okay saying it, but I did. ✌🏼

    I've been playing the drums for just 2 years...I started with just a snare working on rudiments for 4 months. I have (somewhat) been working on my moeller stroke on practice pad and hi hats, but the best practice every morning at 6am is a page of Stick Control, 20 repetitions of each line, starting at 100 bpm with a goal of 152. Try it ...it actually becomes addictive. Beach Bum Drums the Blues

    He's absolutely right about spending more time on the pad, I've recently done a stint of doing 1 hour a day on the pad, (that's a low estimate) you could do a lot more. My playing, technique, feel, time, groove, has EXPLODED. I dare say I've made more progress in this past year than I ever have on the kit. But of course, you don't know, until you know ;)

I used to think practice pads were goofy, but now I love my practice pad, and spend at least 75 to 80% of my practice time using it...I even got an extra snare stand for it...set up and ready to go whenever I'm in front of my computer. I have been working your hand exercises for about 2 months now, and am thrilled with the improvement from sloppy, uneven, and slow, to more precise, even, and around 400% faster! (Speed has been a side effect, not the main goal)

    I feel you Rob. This is incredibly motivational, much appreciated, and couldn't have come at a better time. All my gigs for the foreseeable future have been cancelled. I am still working out on my pad every day, (and yes, the twenty minute double stroke workout IS a fantastic exercise), but I'm not inspired to set up my kit and play by myself right now. I miss playing with other musicians. My goals and dedication have remained pretty consistent since I started, but I feel like they're being compromised right now. One thing I can at least lay claim to is the amount of diverse music I listen to on a daily basis. Listening has always been as important to me as practicing. Without a vast home music library, I'd probably cave completely right now. I know there's no room for excuses when it comes to drumming, so thanks for the nudge. Maybe you should yell even more next time! Stay well and thanks again.

    Ok my man, wher are the ProMark Firegrain sticks in this video? I thought they were your latest greatest thing. The very reason you changed brands! I ran right out and bought some after watching your piece on how much you liked them. Actually I had just purchased them the week before but was glad to see you switch to my favorite brand. They are really great and again, thank you for all the great stuff here, I have learned a great deal.
