5 Stretches for Drummers

Hello #drummers This weeks video is on the best stretches for a drummer to warm up before they start playing. Drummer may complain about stiff hands or sore hand when playing the drums. This can come from not warming up before you start playing your drums.
For me when i play the drums i find that the problem is with the hands, while i am drumming my hand cramps up. The stretches i show in this video will help drummers with the problem of having stiff or sore arm, shoulders, wrists, elbows or hands.
I will show 5 different stretches one that is a warm up rather than a stretch but this will help any drummer who is suffering from cramping, discomfort or even pain while drumming.
Hope this video will help you with your drumming have a good day and ill see you next week.
Brendan Jones.

watching this after being self taught and playing locally for years. i feel like an idiot. i've never realized how important this is. please for the love of god, stretch before you play. im 22 yrs old and can already feel the effects of drumming without ever stretching.

This worked great for me, especially the clapping. 😂

@@krissford7780 excellent

[@crownquiat]

these stretches are life savers dude thank you so much

Also: If you have thumb pain like in the beginning of the video, try sticks that have a coating on them like vic firth's double glaze sticks. They arent as slippery as regular sticks so you dont have to grip them as hard.

Thank you so much. You are a life (hand) saver. ❤

[@BrendrumJones]

You're welcome im glad it helped you

[@devonkenny2154]

Thank you really useful ...just joined an indi band , so practicing a lot more n noticed pain in right shoulder ...your video was clear to follow too 😊

[@BrendrumJones]

great im glad it helped you.

Excellent video! I feel better already. Another thing I learned from your video is that I need to play a lot more! Holy smokes, those calluses on your hands! How much do you play?

[@BrendrumJones]

Thanks Peter, Think that was going heaven on the rowing machine, but play a lot of gigs and some of them are percussion. I find the Cajon beats up the hands a lot.

Have you considered a video for post drumming cool downs? Equally vital part of arm/hand care.

[@BrendrumJones]

Great suggestion, I actually have been having issues with my tendents lately

Merci beaucoup !

[@THEblink1920]

This was really helpful!
I’m about to go on tour and I wanted to make sure I had some warmups to stay stretched

[@BrendrumJones]

Good stuff best of luck with the tour

[@TheForbiddenMoon]

if i don't stretch before drumming my arthritis kicks in and destroyes me. i found doing push ups helps the most for it gives and even stretch on my hands

[@Gar8dunlevi]

Can I say I'm a bit disappointed as I thought it said 5 sketches for drummers. I thought I was about to see the finest Brendan Jones comedy sketches

[@BrendrumJones]

Oh well, LOL

[@munavir4946]

Is there any legs or feet warm up?

[@crownquiat]

[@BrendrumJones]
