    Do it along to a click, too. This means you work on keeping it tight and can progressively build up your speed while staying in control.

    Hey Jared! I know you probably hear this often, but I want to thank you... A month ago I started to practice your excercises and finally, I see results! Before I started, I thought it is going to be boring, but right now (and I still don't understand, how this happened) I love it and I enjoying practicing and watching my progess. THANK YOU FOR THIS!

    Thanks, Jared! I've been learning to get more finger control in order to speed up my rolls. I have been practicing to strengthen my left hand (my right hand is fine, but with my left hand it feels really awkward) and I was close to quitting. I didn't even know if I was doing it right or if my practice was correct, but after seeing this video I'm really going to dive into it again. Thanks! Keep up the good work!

All I could say is I was moved when you said, "I am still practicing, I don't claim to be perfectly trained, We all need to continue practicing. We all are continually learning...... Chose to practice or you are finished"...... The Best Drummers in the world... Tom & George.... they know every thing....but when you ask & they all say, "No I am still practicing"....... The Best was..... "Chose to practice or you are finished"!!!!!..... Well said (Y) &.... Regarding the video... WELL DONE (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y) (Y) ... Keep Posting. You are already Subscribed.

As the previous comment, most instructor don't talk about finger techniques. This is the best!! Thanks so much!!

  • @chungiemunchin
    @chungiemunchin 12 лет назад

    This is a great lesson. I am a big Keith Carlock fan and he discusses finger technique from a traditional grip standpoint. The principal is the same. Jared teaches this technique just as Keith Carlock does. The difference is that Jared stresses the point that patience is required. He is realistic about how long it takes to get this technique. Keith doesn't (I don't think) talk about how long it took (or it takes) to get this to the point he has. Still, two great teachers and one great technique.

    i was taught this technique years ago we called it stone killer start with 1 - 10 then 10 hits with each stick back single strokes. its a fantastic technique. I've been drumming for 15yrs but have only just started playing again after 7yrs always good to go back to these exercises.

  • @bobcropsey2550
    @bobcropsey2550 5 лет назад

    Good lesson Jared. I've been working on that for months now and it's just starting to gel now. I have a practice pad on a stand and it's in front of me while I watch TV. Why just watch TV when you can be doing both. Rock on.

  • @UnderConstructionejab
    @UnderConstructionejab 10 лет назад

    First time I saw this technique was from Dave Weckl, tried it a few times, but never had the patience to practice it. I've been at if seriously now for about two weeks after playing drums for roughly 36 years. Absolutely fantastic chop building, confidence enhancing exercises. Glad to see that I have been practicing correctly. Thanks, Jared for sharing this video, been receiving your emails for about two years, and never watched any of your videos, I think I'll start now. :-)

    @SuperDRUMZONE I've been using it for about 1 year and a half, and it gets better and better, I almost couldn't do it at first with my left hand, but now my left hand is much more solid than my right hand with the finger technique. I can pretty much go to 250-260 bpm(16th notes both hands combined)

    I've been playing the drums for 15 years, I don't mean to blow my own trumpet but I can handle a drum kit quite well. I'm even a singer/drummer albeit perhaps a better singer. That being said I've never relied too much on speed in my style but rather power and accuracy, I had a couple of drum lessons and nobody ever mentioned the finger technique. I love metal and have actually managed to blast beat using my wrists! It's exhausting and strainful and I then realized something was wrong. I've come across many tutorials that don't explain how to do the basics. They all boast about how easy it is and I really struggle with it. Thanks for reminding how much time is required to use fingers accurately and to gain speed. I've been practising for a day almost non-stop, alternatively using my right and left hand - It's something I've always done with paradiddles and stuff like that. Could you however explain whether or not our thumbs should stay parallel to the stick or not? I've noticed your thumb was slightly lifted up but when I do that my thumb seems too stiff and I can't hit it any faster.

    • @jjcool1194
      @jjcool1194 7 лет назад

      LOUDSTEEL it being parralell means thats ur grip.jareds way of gripping is different hence why his thumb is up om the stick.i have the same grip that u use.so ur grip is fine it just takes getting used to
