This video literally was the thing that taught me how to play hand to hands in my highschool indoor show. It was soo badass cuz i hit the split at every show and it was the ending

[@YouCrossedMyPath]

HOW TO PRACTICE HAND TO HANDS ALONE (if you don't have a splitting partner available)
1: Watch this video.
2: Record yourself playing the downs on a practice pad (idk if a drum will work but i don't see why not)
3: WEAR HEADPHONES/EARBUDS and listen to your video of you playing the downs.
4: Adjust your volume so the "you" in your ears, is the same or a similar volume to the "you" playing in person. Use the same practice pad as in the recording, this will help you hear the hand to hand effectively.
5: Practice as directed in the video. Reps, reps, reps.
6: Profit
If you execute the rudiment well enough, you can hear the hand to hand almost as good as if you had a splitting partner there with you.
Also I'm sure this also works for split singles and other splits.

I love these videos. Could you teach how to split fivelets and/or sevenlets next? Those are tricky

[@christianstainazfischer]

Do the exact same thing, but with a 5let or 7let...

I'm bass 1 as a sophomore, this really helped me since I was Front Ensemble last year, so I don't really know sextuplets, I appreciate it man

[@nathanielbabauta7937]

Man that’s just like me, I was in front last year (freshman year) and got moved up to bass one!

I don’t even play bass drum but I like writing music and this really helped me understand what I’m writing a lot better

[@notsolittledrummerboy1831]

This video has been so helpful for me!!! I've been trying to figure out how to do hand to hands for what seems like forever and have quite been able to get it

[@Dersk99]

[@sonicgem007]

Can you do a video on split singles. Such as RRRRRR.

[@jasonbelisha3164]

This video is shockingly, shockingly good.

[@lightningmcqueenfanpage4103]

You legit just blew my mind

[@mynameismathew]

Okay but can we notice the hulkbuster he has in the background?

[@mike7815]

Absolutely amazing

[@Junkibijo]

I don’t understand why I can’t “drive through” the upbeats when I can play the downbeats just fine. I know it’s probably because I’m thinking of every beat individually, but when I’m not thinking of it that way, I start rushing. What do I do?

[@drumcorps0junkie]

Thanks for the lesson.

[@jackle9396]

i play snare but i like these...

[@LJ-wo1wf]

Visiting old vids... The earliest hand-to-hands I remember seeing in performance were BD 96 (drums 1 and 2, maybe two counts total) and Glassmen 95's bass feature. Both were single hands, though, not LLRR etc.

[@fuckerikbockenstette]

I’ve heard the term hand to hand (referring to splits) in high school around 2008

[@Inspadave]

..and Hulkbuster armor in the background.

[@justinwilson8230]

I tried to follow a link on the Facebook page to the bass drum music you mentioned, but it took me to your graphic design page. Is the music still up?

[@jaimepminor80]

Muy buen video, pero lo pueden hacer más lenta, casi no ver las manos o cualquier otro artículo en el que baso? Saludos desde México Puebla

Por favor sería de mucha ayuda tenerlo en español o con subtítulos
Muchas gracias

[@dogado4255]

[@caelan506]

How do you line 2 vids so well

[@YouCrossedMyPath]

[@johnnyboyer8851]

Why am I here I play snare

[@forshizil09]

Can Morgan Freeman start narrating these videos ?

[@79jappa]

I was doing this back in 1994 nothing is new under the sun

[@mb2268]

Does it really matter? There are still new bass players needing this information

[@peierple]

I'm slow still a little confused with the up beats

[@jeremiahcobb8346]

Split bass drums go way further back than the 2000's

[@LukeZuniga]

Your sticks sound like factory rejects :(

[@naufalagil2402]
