That pad is the Sabin Quiet Tone which I do not use no more.I am now using The Invader v-3 by offworld percussion ,by far the best on the market it has the feel of a snare
MATT...THANK YOU for sharing this wisdom! I feel like I went back to 7th grade for my first lesson...I have started over...did this ALL wrong...accents...too fast...not using open stroke...now, SLOWLY (80-100bpm)...work through all 3 pages at once w/vamps at different levels (heights: full, 1/2 1/4 tap)...RUclips NEEDS you and brother Chick to pass onto the next generation over all these "young cats" w/NO historical foundation!
Matt , u r a great educator with clear explanations. Thxs for that....just a question....don't u suffer of back pain playing traditional having to set your body to the left side to be able to play the left hand? Thnxs.
hi matt thanks for the lessons... could you demonstrate the short roll combinations in stone´s stick control? it´s just after the triplets section. thank you again... greetings from rio de janeiro
Question: Formal technique is great but... what about playing 2 and 4 at the drum kit? Following the rules, the hand should do Free (Full) Stroke on the backbeat but everyone plays Down Stroke.
Hello. Great video! Thank you! Are there any links on how to play page 12 of the STICK CONTROL book? I would love to see the difference, for example, between exercise 1( 9 stroke closed roll) and exercise 13 (7 stroke closed roll) in that context. Thank you! Davide
Great day Mr. Matt Patella! I just had a copy of the book Stick Control last week. . . I practice each pattern starting from 50bpm for 20x and then increasing the tempo by 5 until I reached my limit but keeping a low volume and even sound , even though the tempo is increasing. . . Am i doing it right? ( and by the way the sound of the metronome really makes me so sleepy and i don't know why it is happening to me ) Godbless!
Thank you for posting these videos on Stick Control. I'm new to notation and have to research what it is I'm doing incorrect in some parts of this book. You and I are friends on facebook and I've been following your expertise for some time now. You are a true masterclass percussionist, Mr Patella. Are you still hosting free live lessons?
+Mur drums proficiency and keeping in shape, while gaining control, speed, flexibility, touch, rhythm, lightness, delicacy, power, endurance, preciseness of execution and muscular coordination (they are all in Stick Control book of Sir George Lawrence Stone), have you ever wonder how buddy rich and other great drummers gain their level? :)
I had to break that bad habit of bringing my hand up into a full stroke at the end. Now, I concentrate on the down stroke and keep my tip elegantly off the drum head surface, approximately one inch. Sure, there's an upstroke. But, like a bad case of indigestion, why focus too much on it? Just sayin'...
Matt....hmmm.....I'm a former Joe Morello and Armand Santarelli student and I noticed in both your full strokes and half strokes you're winding up for both strokes! You're creating two motions instead of one. You're winding up with a back motion then down versus down only for free strokes.
Matt take a look at Danny Gottlieb's demonstration of Free Strokes then look back at your Full Strokes and/or Half Strokes. Here is the link to Danny's video. ruclips.net/video/tI2ODPVBvqI/видео.html . The start of your Full Strokes end up being Arm Strokes versus a Pure Wrist Free Stroke.
Nice review....my favorite book. I always hated reading from books . I sit for hours with my pad but not every day. One thing I do not practice is the gradual build up. As well as the out loud counting except when I am working how many hits per sequence I make up. I do concentrate on equalization. I feel over the years my full stroke has diminished....Probably because my ears bleed on the drum kit . I need to go back and practice the big ones. As I recall that is how I was first taught. Slow and slamming. I was later guided to a big soft pillow instead of a pad. I played pillow many years....my pad was a 3"x4" ..as the big remo pad was too noisy for neighbors. I've upgraded and learned to give my ears a rest by hitting the pad again.... my stick control book needs to be near my pad and wow I have to find some glasses too lol. That one comment someone mentioned about following the stick on the upstroke instead of snapping it back on the full stroke is going to allow more energy saving too! Now back to work....you know Jim Chapin asked me once where's my sticks ? I said at home,...he said never go any where without them . You can add to your practice time many hours if you just always keep them with you. I thought this guy is a crazy old guy and he sat and beat on everything in sight. Wasn't until watching You tube that I found out I was talking to a legend....and damn I still don't do what he asked me.

LoL MY Name is Matt
Great ideas here, Mike!😄
Keep up the good work!🙃
🎵🎶🥁😎🥁🎶🎵
I admire your discipline, sir. Might try this myself to start each day. Thanks!
it's so much like meditation. Great job Matt!
Full strokes-the hand follows the stick. That's a great way of describing it. It's hard to teach students not to pull the stroke up.
Great stuff Matt, cleanly executed and clearly explained!
i need to do more of these technique drills, great videos. I lack alot of technique.
Wow !! Matt thank you so much for subscribing to my channelled give me encouragement@!! especially from master drummer!!! Cheers Liam
I play the line,repeat the line and vamp with the hand I end with for four measure,s then right into the next lineuntil I am finish at various tempo's
Matt , u r a great educator with clear explanations. Thxs for that....just a question....don't u suffer of back pain playing traditional having to set your body to the left side to be able to play the left hand? Thnxs.
Just old age shit...lol
Fantastic control
Slow gives you control.l. Thanks
hi matt thanks for the lessons... could you demonstrate the short roll combinations in stone´s stick control? it´s just after the triplets section.

Does anyone know what happened to Matt ?
If practical, is it better to do this kind of practice on your actual snare drum?
yes for sure ......I am using a drum pad only s I can speak and explain
Greet lesson,Matt! I'm sure,it' s basic information is very important,especialy for students in drumming.
For everybody everyday.
Thank you sir

How long does it take you to complete ex 1-72 from pages 5-7?
When I am doing the vamps, my arm gets really tense. Especially the left.
awesome tech sir
I'm curious...why do you do this everyday?

don;t think so

Everybody's body is slightly different ....some people use a little more arm, some less. some none. It's the results that count
bravo! correct! ...why this stupid 5 people of 5 bad vote?
Boring!!
What is your practice routine?
