Chip Ritter has been twirling and tossing his sticks for well over a decade now, so we knew he was well equipped to teach this lesson.

Thank all you guys so much! thanks Drumeo for having me on! rock on!
You’re one bad man!! Been doing it for years.
That was insane! That's the only words I can come up. Simply insane. I seen you on a 66samus video but had no idea.
This one of the coolest drum seminars/Q&A’s I’ve seen absolutely brilliant!
Brilliant Chip! thanks
As a drummer who began in concert and then marching percussion before moving to drum set, it's my opinion that stick tricks are incredibly important for maintaining stick control and hand technique. It also sets you apart from just your average drummer. Great for first impressions.
This episode is all killer, no filler (there never is on Drumeo). I've been drumming for 35 years years and long gave up on stick tricks ... this has inspired me to start again.
If you perform live music, especially cover bands. You understand why learning moves like this is important. It's a performance, not just you playing drums. So many people don't get that. So what if it's not 200 bpm sixteenth note double strokes? That's not what this is about, this is about how to actually be a performer and a drummer at the same time.
People eat this shit up, you get paid waaay better for things like this, clubs want you to come back.
I would argue that this is simply another facet of how to be a good musician, adding in a performance to your music. Not everybody wants to just see somebody shred behind the drums, some people want an actual performance beyond the notes.
To be able to play really well as a drummer and to perform well is a niche in itself. You have to remember, 21-year-old clubgoers don't give a shit about odd time signatures, and inverted double strokes.
I swear I Agree to that
I cannot agree more. This should be read by everyone in this comment section
I agree!
Kristopher Ritter Holy shit it's you! I'm gonna learn that behind the back move next, thanks for being such a great player!
Kristopher Ritter you're one of the best drummers in the country
My good friend Chip! He's an awesome person and drummer!
Thanks my friend!
Stick tricks are just fun and a great way to make playing drums more enjoyable and entertaining. And this guy is really fun to watch. Cheers!
My opinion is that drummers are already hidden behind the drum kit and itself is almost always at the back of the stage, so I feel that stick tricks are perfect to make is drummers stand out as long as it doesn't hurt the music.
All these people commenting likr "oh my God technique is key no time for fun" Drums are fun, music is fun, you guys seem like you hae a terrible time playing drums lol
but .. there is crazy technique in the flippage... he barely moves and the stick does its thing and lands back in his hand on time
thanks!
this was actually one of the best lessons on drumeo. chip is such a nice, friendly and enjoyable person, who you just can‘t stop watching. I personally really enjoy stick tricks and now that I‘ve seen what is possible, I am definitely "waste" my time for that. (that is what others would say). great lesson man!
:))) Thanks Sami!
I love stick tricks and Chip is the master. He makes it look so fun. Drumming is already so cool and adding stick tricks puts it over the top.
I remember when Chip was pulling stuff like this off close to 30 years ago on the local scene.
Great to see his material finally being shared with the masses!
You are a great drummer and artiste the same time! I'm really impressed! Grats much!
I find stick to be a great tool. I come from a marching background and I've learned how stick tricks work with individual solos. For anyone against stick tricks I encourage you to watch Rick Beckham, James Christian, and Ken Mazur solos. They use tricks to increase demand in their performance, and it has great effect. The more tricks you do while you play, the harder it is to execute so seeing Chip play really makes me appreciate what he's doing because I understand the level of difficultly, and even more importantly since it is a visual effect THE AUDIENCE KNOWS!!! You can play quintuplets at 200 beats per minute, the audience will understand what you're doing is hard but they can't comprehend the skills required. With visual effects they understand, making it a better way to communicate as a drummer to your audience. The important thing is to be a good musician and showman. You don't have to be one or the other. strive for both and you'll see maximum results.
Never underestimate the power of visuals.
Loved you in house of cards, thanks for the killer tips!
LMAOOOOOO
I've been playing for 50 years and have always wanted to flip the sticks. Never had the confidence to try it. With your lesson today I have the tools now, and I AM going to practice these techniques and get it down. I just discovered the Drumeo series and love it. Keep em coming brother.
I think stick tricks are essential for showmanship and is part of drumming or performing. great vid guys
I play in a worship band, and I have found that builds going into the bridge are the best application for stick tricks for me. When there is quiet 1/8s on the kick and a floor tom that builds over 8 bars gives you TONS of room to play!!!
I'm just starting to play the drums. I gotta say the lighting, sound and the fun in this video is fantastic. Great video.
Stick tricks it's just how a simple drummer becomes a performer on stage. It's the cherry on the cake ! ;)
Great showmanship, plus it just looks fun. I am 37 yrs and started learning drums last year on my own.Thanks for all the video, i hope i win...
What I loved most about this video is his groove! So groovy even with the showmanship. Very impressive
thank you!
you did a great job teaching this stuff…i like what you do man it's really cool!!
thanks Brian!
The practical aspect of learning spacing, ambidexterity, and timing is that it allows you to do other things with your hands, possibly freeing you up for other percussional responsibilities and flavors. It's never bad to expand your arsenal.
Great presentation!
I'm not a huge fan of stick tricks seeing it takes up valuable time you
could be spending on developing drumming skills but I gotta admit Chip
drums really well, very solid, has great time and doesn't appear his drumming suffers from doing stick tricks; I sure didn't expect him to play so well; He's changed my mind about stick tricks, I'll start learning some of these tricks. Very good video and Great Job Chip!!!
wow thank you!
Chip Ritter is the coolest person ever. Period.
awe man!
Snare Force 1 !
I’m buying that book just based on the title alone. Just discovered Rick, what a great player and fun guy!
Showmanship is a key component that every drummer needs to incorporate into their arsenal
I am seventy years of age and I still haven't lost any of the eagerness to learn new techniques that drummers come up with on this amazingly versatile instrument. Personally I think stick tricks can play a part in the visual experience that a drummer brings to the band and the show. We should never forget in the quest to be a good musician that we are performers.
At 36:18 you can hear someone dropping their stick in studio. Just loved it.
Great video. Loved it.
as a drummer, it is easy to forget we are often called to be entertainers as well. I'm glad Drumeo has a lesson like this. Depending on the musical setting, S
showmanship can go a super long way and help you and your band or performance stand out.
This guys stick tricks have paid off !
Im keeping the rule 52 in mind. What an energetic lesson. The tricks as in between keeping time is quite the work out. I'm definitely taking these tricks with to the kit.
Exactly this happend to me, too...startet to watch and couldn`t stop.What a great, relaxed person!People who say, this shouldn`t be taught, didnt`t watch close enough. Just watch the last song. Full of music..Groove with great time, touch and feel!Heartfelt ESSENCE of music! So...not one reason to not do this. Thank you for this outstanding hour! Best Regards from Cologne! :)
Why has it taken me three years to spot this video? That's me playing pick-up-sticks for the next few weeks.
Stick tricks are both cool and useful. It takes a lot of practice to incorporate the tricks in the groove and they're a real exercise for building up indepence and switching the beat from one hand to the other. Also a good finger dexterity workout.
Plus, the FFs (female fans) love them :)
Plain and simple! Stick tricks are a great thing to have in a drummers performance. People want to see a show.
I had the honor of taking lessons from him as a kid. Also, in the Stick Tricks DVD im the kid doing "the carlton dance" during the credit roll. Hand filmed by Chip during a lesson haha Chip is an amazing teacher highly recommend him to any drummer new or experienced.
This guy remembering the so many great points.... Its easy to catch a stick if your standing up. No one really remembers the high hat is in the way. Thank you for posting this.
I think doing stick tricks does make sense but it often depends on which genre you are playing. So in rock, hardrock or funk for example stick tricks can have that "did you see the drummer?!" reaction which is always awesome! But if you play jazz or fusion for example it's much more about having that feel and groove and do music. I personally just LOVE doing them!
Onur Gürsoy Exactly
Man , I love these stick tricks !
Chip you are my hero. I love the juggling. I am at the second stage where the exchange takes place between the two sticks. It is challenging because it it new but I am committed to learning it. Thanks for everything.
thanks Dennis!
Just the smile this gentleman has on his face when playing shows you his love for the drums. He has a great way of teaching with his positive attitude.
I watched for a while, and was very impressed. then I looked at how far in the video I was, and it was basically over. Very awesome lesson/video!
Chip, so happy you mentioned my favorite drummer ever, Robert Sweet from my favorite band Stryper at the very beginning and then that he was your inspiration to learn and then later one of the emailers did too. I've only been able to see Stryper once, but I've seen hundreds of you tube videos, and when they were on MTV in the 80's, the way he played on "Calling On You" but I've never seen Robert spin the sticks ... Yet he does everything else with them. Someone asked him once why he doesn't twirl and spin, and he said he used to, and the others started copying him so he started doing other things like setting up sideways...after all he is known as Stryper's Visual Timekeeper...God bless you
He sounds so snappy and groovy. Very coollll.
stick tricks makes the audience have a smile on their face and its fun it makes you feel great and you want to impress its just cool I love stick tricks
Stick tricks are a great way to get people's attention, especially when your having fun with your drumming you can throw them in there and really "wow" your audience! Favorite part of the video had to be the beginning jam, looking at Chip have so much fun and surprise me with those tricks really got my attention, thanks for another great lesson Drumeo!
Stick tricks are good for gigs. Nice video
I think that stick tricks are perfect if they are not overdone. While learning them they can improve you playing because your learning to do two independent things. Also they're very fun, and they look great. Thanks Chip!
Thanks Aiden!
Stick tricks are great for coordination balance timing juggling but the groove is straight......the groove and pocket is the most important part of drumming the flash and animation is wonderful and dreamy but secondary to playing but deffinately fun to see and enjoy
You Guyz always have the drums sound, tuned so nicely
I love stick tricks
there are few things I enjoy more than watching Chip play live.
i like when he twirls with the samba pattern...its a simple fill but with the twirls its awesome
Damn this guy really knows his tricks. That "throw the stick behind by arm and catch it in front of my arm" trick blew my mind.
Groove/ feel/ time and how you interact musically with your fellow musicians are the most important aspects of drumming that come to mind for me. Having said that, a little flash in a live performance setting certainly pleases the crowd (as long as it's not at the expense of the music and your playing). I don't really do (or know) much in the way of flashy stick tricks, so I should probably check out his dvd to see what I can take away from it.
I personally think stick tricks are probably the most cool thing about drumming. I've been wanting to use more stick tricks during my grooves. It really draws some attention and makes the entire thing more fun. Imagine the people's faces when they see a drummer going wild and not only laying a good groove but also doing some experimental stuff. It's honestly one of the things that got me intrigued as a kid and it's still something I'd love to master. Really awesome video guys I didn't expect to spend an hour of my day on this c:
Nice and fun video!
Stick tricks are so nice to see and they shloud be used in front of people that are not so into music.
But as always the most important thing is to have a solid beat and drum playing.
Awesome lesson! It's always important to me to keep learning new things. It keeps things fresh. Stick tricks are a great way for you to PERFORM, not just drum. Entertainer is what you are, not just a drummer. Some guys are great and don't do tricks and that's great too. You don't have to learn tricks, but if you want to, do it. Chip is great at what he does!!! And he is clearly enjoying himself!! HAVE FUN.....THAT'S WHAT IT''S ABOUT.....FUN!!
Like everything, there's a time and place for stick. They help to better acknowledge the presence of the drummer. I've felt that they've helped the experience of watching a drummer perform live feel more organic. I feel that stick tricks also SOMETIMES can work to make certain things easier. It may be a part of a groove or fill. I can personally confirm this, as I've been in the situation a few times. I've also come to meet several fellow drummers who have admitted to this.
Chip is brilliant!!!
Close to getting he faked spin, practicing it a few months. Thanks a lot. You look fantastic. Bettina
I love the visual element of a good trick, provided it doesn't hurt the performance! Also, I think a good humble attitude like Chip's is a must.. If you're smug about it, people are just going to secretly wish you drop those sticks..
While stick tricks are entertaining, at the end of the day being able to play in time is what will get you gigs. Still an awesome video/lesson, definitely enjoyed it!
I think stick tricks are an important part of drumming. Sure it doesn't have anything to do with playing the drums; either do what clothes you wear or what FX you use on stage but those things create persona. It brings more energy to your performing and increases the spectacle to draw the audience in.
I enjoyed watching his intro
Amazing drummer and amazing personality
Performing live is all about pleasing the audience, and if stick tricks and showmanship helps the show without affecting the groove, then hell yeah!
I remember seeing a video of him juggling when I first started playing (over a decade ago) still just as amazed!
Thanks Chris!
It's a way of spicing the groove and making the band look fun.....in my perspective as an introvert stick tricks makes the drummer more interesting and more captivating to bring in new drummers
oh yeah !! Pro stick tricks !!! Sweet video, thanks for the lesson.
Those tricks are not important to know as a drummer, but they fun to know, and it adds to the showmanship
I geeked out when he started juggling
I think stick tricks are really cool way to more entertain not only your friends but your audience. Plus draws more attention to you as a drummer. Plus it shows how great your hand eye coordination as a drummer.
Wow, amazing stuff Chip.
The man my friend Chip Ritter awesomeness !!
This lesson taught me one big thing, use stick tricks only if they do not affect your playing! Chip demonstrated this perfectly! Fun little visual things but his playing was still spot on! Very enjoyable opening track! :)
Thanks AJ!
i think stick tricks help depending on the crowd your performing for and what kind of music your playing but i loved this video!
people who are complaining forget that drumming is about having fun always
First of all let me congratulate Mr chip Ritter i loved the stick juggling i actually think that stick tricks are kind of important as well as the groove because it gives you more creativity and credibility and people get really impressed and they start talking about you
Incredible groovy drummer and also drum ACROBAT, Two in one!
Awesome video Chip, your a true showman!
This video taught me how to do the fake spin. Im not good at it but im going to practice it religiously like i do with all my drum lessons. Weird thing i found out was i found it easier to do with my left hand, although im a right handed person. Thanks Drumeo (:
Wow those tricks are amazing!!!!!
stick triks-chip is amazing..I'm 57 and i will learn some tricks. thnks man!!
Awesome, love the showmanship!!
Man I would love either one of those copies!!! Haven't played in a while because of school but now that I'm out, I would love to look at either of those.
He is awesome and thank you so much for this lessons
I've ignored stick tricks a majority of my drumming life time, which I'm kinda sad about. I'm always stupidly jealous when I see drummers that can spin sticks really easily. It just adds a immensely cool visual aspect to a normally strictly auditory experience, and I wish I could join them!
That makes it FUN.
Stricks are cool, also hard to do but i think it helps to improve in all ways with your drumming, i love the tricks
I think it's amazing! It's fun! It's great to spice it up and make people smile and having the most fun as possible! I definitely want to learn I would love to do these tricks myself!
Chip Ritter looks like the kind of drummer you'd find in a groovy Las Vegas jazz club
Really enjoyed this. I've wondered for a long time how Chip does the juggling. This inspires me to try it out!
Chip you are a super human thank you drumeo
2 min in and I'm flipping out! Awesome
Classy, Personable, Groove, & $tick tricks galore! Well done Chip & Drumeo!
Chip The Man Ritter ! Loved this lesson !
you're having so much fun with this stuff! you're a true idol.
I watched all a that . Good stuff Stick Man .
