      I am a "beginning beginner " got headache from watching all different videos "how to " and after viewing those videos I got more confused then before viewing those videos.
      Seeing Jeff's video ALL became completely clear in 12 minutes. Straight forward, and that is the way it has to be teached and shown. Thanks Jeff, this video helped me a lot.

    As a teaching drummer of over 30 years, I have to say Jeff that that is some of the best teaching of grip and techniques I’ve ever seen. I love what you left out as well. No talking about where on your index finger the stick should stay, just get it on there. A lot of the grip has to be discovered. I like the golfer Ben Hogan’s quote it’s something like, “the answers you seek are in the dirt.” Your playing sounds amazing and your production is over the top. Congratulations man for making amazing videos and thanks for sharing your knowledge and your enthusiasm.

    This video about 4 Hand techniques is useless to me, because sadly I've only got 2 hands.

  • @SuperWhiteNinjas
    @SuperWhiteNinjas Před 2 lety +9

    I've actually never heard some of these techniques explained so well. In my own personal experience these techniques require skill and experience, and I gained them and subconsciously applied them naturally after time, more and more efficiently by the year. This is a great launching point.

  • @gurnblanstein9816
    @gurnblanstein9816 Před 2 lety +7

    The best part about this lesson that I learned in the first few minutes is that you don't have to commit yourself to one or the other grip lol. You use them both or any portion of the gray area.

  • @gesamtkuntswreck

    So great someone finally stepped up and did this video. I am really happy for every beginner to now have access to a lecture that brings together what I had to condensate by myself over the years watching hours and hours of videos on hand technique. You were able to accomplish that in 12 minutes, which is a big deal! You are really doing an excellent job at preparing and presenting your material. CZcams education par excellence! 👏

    • @JeffRandallDrumming
      @JeffRandallDrumming  Před 2 lety +11

      Big thanks! I noticed a void on YouYube in regards to a practical look at all the different techniques and did my best to remedy that. Going forward I want to address each of the techniques in more specific ways but figured it was good to start with a crash course of sorts at first.

    Fantastic! Thanks for this. Your explanation of the push-pull technique really spoke to me.

But your explanation here is much more intuitive, so thanks again for sharing this.

    Thank you, Jeff, for these awesome videos! Have just started drumming while having only sticks and a drum pad. I have discovered the whipping stroke by accident while hitting my things. That was the only way for me to generate a rebound and learn how to relax my fingers and wrists such that the sticks felt like arm extensions. Good to know it has more applications :) Looking forward to more videos from you. Now on your drum pad exercises...
