This video made me realize that my left hand has been “chopping” as you put it, not going straight up and down. I nearly cut off the tip of my middle finger on my left hand last year using a table saw at work and I think that is why my grip was all funky. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I didn’t realize how involved our fingers are when we are doing rudiments. So cool! ❤
I’ve watched so many videos on what to do with the weak hand, and this video FINALLY helped me figure everything out. Super helpful, love your videos, thanks so much man
Keeping the volume level consistent for the second stroke in a diddle, and not rushing the space between an accent and the following diddle in an accent-diddle (like in the triplet rolls) really helps clean your sticking up and develop some speed at the same time.
This was going to be in response to a link I'd posted to some other rudiments, but I guess it'd be better for folks if I didn't send them off on a tangent looking at drumline rudiments?
The exercise i found to finally work my left had was just playing a single stroke roll and playing accents on my left hand, you can stay right hand lead and the acents will be off beats. you can make them every 8 th then 4th then 2nd as a more complicated version. rlrlrlrL rlrLrlrL rLrLrLrL. or rLrlrLrl repeat.
What I do sometimes to strengthen my weak hand is I lead with that hand at times, so instead of using my right hand to play the hihats I lead with my left, it does help a bit to make my left hand stronger! And also here and there whenever I can I try to lead with my left! Btw great video man! This is definitely gonna help me!🤘🏼
It opens up a bunch of new drumming possibilities too, like being able to use effects cymbals in different partials and places in a groove. Glad I could be of any help Kenneth, thanks for watching!

It's amazing how small adjustments can make such a big difference in your technique!
