When attempting to play quicker fills or grooves but they end up sounding a little clunky - it usually means that one hand is lagging behind the other, preventing you from performing the pattern evenly and consistently. Your dominant hand will most likely always be a little quicker and more controlled than your weaker hand, however these exercises were designed to close that gap as much as possible.
In this video, I demonstrate these exercises using his left hand, however these work just as well for your right. Do these for 10 days straight and you’ll notice massive improvements!
This is great. My left hand is killing me already!!
So 2 years later how did the practice pay off Did your weak hand get any better?
Cooking with one hand and drumming with "other one", (left hand).
10 years ago you created lessons that still look crisp and recently produced. No wonder Drumeo is so popular, well done.
I flipped my drum set around so It's like a lefty drum set. It's really good for improving left hand and foot!
Amazing idea💯
WorldOfMusic but I have a right set and right is holding me back
Did the same. So far 5 months in. Big improvement. Prior to that, I started playing Cajon left handed. 9 months in for that. This even changed how I walk. Left has authority.
I did the same thing, my band said all my recordings were in reverse.
I’m open hand left handed I just keep it the same
This video has helped me tremendously in only 4 days so far. I’ve been practicing for probably an hour per sitting mind you, but I can’t believe how much faster and more controlled I’ve become in such a short time!!! I realized a few days ago that my left hand was holding me back but I didn’t realize just how bad it was so I went to dry so and found this video... Thanks for this!
Wow I'm really glad to hear that!
But I wanted to ask, have you practiced these exercises for an hour every day to get this great result?
Hey Jared,
I am a 14 year old drummer and I love watching these videos! They are a great help to me and I am sure they are to others too. Thank you very much you are so helpful.
Are you still drumming my guy?
I hope your are now a 25 year old wizard on the kit now bro
Hey Jared, I'm a mostly self taught drummer, but I love watching your videos for useful tips, tricks, and lessons that I normally can't devise myself. Thanks for everything and keep 'em coming!
this video is amazing. honestly i already saw a difference after 4 min of practicing this stuff
Yes! This was exactly what I needed. Working on blast-beats can be a pain when one hand is more consistent than the other :)
Eat with your weaker hand, drink with your weaker hand. Use weaker hand in almost everything and train your brain.
ive been doing this for a week now and now i can drum really fucking fast
I should try that:)
matt halpern always suggests that :o
yes papi
well.. I'm left handed but when it comes to drumming, I'm right handed. so basically I normally do everything you listed with my left hand but still it is much weaker on the drum kit than my right hand.
Dope exercises, Thank you! I've learned to hit the drums, now it's time to practice and learn to play them! :D
I think it’s the snare buzzing?
A couple of things I've realised since trying these
1) Beats and patterns that would be REALLY simple with a right lead are much harder than I though with left lead.
2) It is VERY difficult to consistently hit my floor tom going left hand over right hand.
Good exercises though. I'm also doing the blast beat ones and using my left foot in those to help build that up too.
Thanks!
This is why we created our Student Focus section in Drumeo. You can get a customized Student Plan. I would recommend signing up for Drumeo OR finding a private instructor that can give you some guidance in addition to all the info online.
Really the best thing for your weak hand and weak foot is to learn what you also do with your strong hand and strong foot.. and I recommend this to every novice drummer!!!! turn your drum set around, put the string and the hi hat on the right and floor on the left, so turn everything over and play 1 hour on the left, then turn around and return to the right in the normal position, you will notice that your level has suddenly increased by 30% in 1 session . I do it and wow that's it .. indeed that's it I did the rhythms with your left hand also on the ride or hi-hat etc. really wonderful if one can play the drums on the left as well as on the right!!
4:25 thanks to this I can do bast beats with my left hand now. I can't thank you enough. Cheers
Sounds like this "tip" is "coming" from experience.
Lol
Was this a sexual reference?!! :D
@@macont2145 obv
Great excercises! I'm at day 10 now and feel much more comfortable with my left hand (first improvements I felt at day 5). Thanks for these videos!
Thank you dude, my right drums circles around my left and it trips me up so bad!!! Just did these for the first time and #4 (16ths with my left) showed me how much of a dumpster fire my left really is... like it was a mess! I look forward to practicing.
Thank you, by the way, how is your brother doing? Is school going well for you? Say hi to the family for me!
I love that learning other instruments helps you take little anecdotes to the rest. I learned on piano to let your left hand learn from your right. In other words, play all these exercises while the right hand is doing exactly the same thing in sync. Your left hand adjusts to how your right hand is doing it. You will learn it twice as fast..
I have no tips, but I want to get moulded ones soon. Once I was playing a wedding gig and the bud fell off and got lodged in my ear. I had to go to the emergency room in between sets and was in excruciating pain. Luckily, I made it back to complete the gig :)
Hello. I am a lefty and I just recently purchased a drum set, the first that I've owned in about 20 years. Although I've played drums 20 years ago, I am pretty much starting over again. Just want to say thanks for all of your videos. I have a long way to go to become good, but these videos are helping.
No worries my friend... I checked out your drum covers. Looks / sounds great!
Day 10 was yesterday and left hand control is improving. Now using this exercise as warm up before going to the kit. Thanks Drumeo.
I've been using an old pillow to do these exercises, I feel the burn quicker, bur once you switch to the drumset you can really tell the difference.
For some reason even though I started learning leading through right hand, there was this hiatus from classes due to studies and stuff. When I started again, it was without any classes.
For some reason, my body tuned itself to a left hand lead. My fills always start from my left, my crashes come on my left. It really makes accessing the other parts of the kit a bit tough.
Y'll trying to teach your left hand and I'm trying to teach my right hand. Feel so screwed cause it feels super awkward.
I play grooves with my right hand on the hihat no probs. When I do a fill, I switch to left. So when I get back to the groove, I start with the left and then switch to my right. This works on my electric kit as I don't have to reach out but I struggle on acoustic as a result.....
Hopefully this helps my right hand to get to shape 🤞
Day 7, exercises 3 and 4 have been the best help with control and consistency on left hand. I sometimes bring in the right hand to match the strokes of the left, seems like the right helps to 'train' the left.
Thanks, Jared. Dom and Stephanie's Weaker Side has been a hugely helpful book in this regard.
i noticed huge difference thanks !!!!!!
This has been such a great help...I know you said 2 mins a day per exercise, but I went a bit mad and did the triplets for 3 hours in one go ! Thanks so much Jared!!!!!!!
Thank you very much, could you do a video of building your weaker foot. I'm trying to learn double kick but I need to build my left foot up first
Hey Jared, I'm a left handed drummer, so sometimes I am at an inconvenience when it comes to playing on other people's kits. Also I would not consider either hand to be weaker; although my left is used more, my right can do some things in grooves that the left can't. I have been trying to become an ambidextrous drummer. This video helps, but could you do a video at some point on exercises for developing all limbs equally and developing ambidexterity? Thanks. These videos are a great help!
I Love It! the "weak hand" actually just has a weaker connection to the brain, I did a whole video on this, I'm so glad to find this
Rlll rllL rlLl rLll pattern played as 16th notes has improved my leftie a great deal and made Moeller feel more natural!
My favorite drum Coach 👍👌
This lesson may be an oldie but still excellent, im on day 2 and already see and feel improvement in left hand power and ease.
Thanks for this info. This really helps a lot. As a drummer for 20 years, that's my number one issue, Control.
Nice I was thinking about chopping it off before this video! Well done.
One of the best and helpfull exercises i ever running through, helps me a lot. Thanks
I like how he emphasizes every other word.
he is talking in 2 over 4
+George Tsiros lol
Lmfao also holy shit this is old
@@leviathan3630 props also to the 69th like
@@waranghira ayy nice to see you're still alive after 5 years
The effort you put in every details in this video is awesome. Thank you so much for your work!!!
What's fun and works out your left hand just play Wipeout with the accents on the left hand instead of the right. Start out slow, though.
As a drummer i had a great teacher who made me do everything left and right handed as i learned them if u do it early it becomes second nature like u say speed will follow
Man, I saw difference in my speed after 10 min of these exercises. I'm afraid to see what it will be like in 10 days. This is the best video on CZcams ;] Thx
Here's two for you:
Play a jazz ride pattern with your left hand.
Play paradiddles with a SHUFFLE feel. It forces you to be precise with your left hand.
Both 5min a day for a week and you'll see improvement.
Bro this video changed my life
Appreciate bro!!!!!
Gracias!
Hey! I just wanted to thank you for your lessons. Also, I mashed up this 10 minutes a day exercises with the "Building your internal clock" loops (the 2-2 ones. I don't feel ready for the 4-4's) and it really did shape up my hand and my timing!!
On day 4 now, way more confidence in my left (weaker) hand and noticing a consistent snare stroke volume and sound..
These help a lot! I'm in day 3 now, and there are HUGE improvements! Thanks!
Hey Jared, great video. I found that I already use these exercises (more or less) in my practice routine, but it took me years to figure out how to push my weaker hand. This is great advice for beginners!
Thanks guys!!! I am so inspired to play again I am at my kit every day now!!!!!!!!
Great work!
I’ve only been in band for 2 years (I started in 6th grade now I’m in 8th) and my left hand has always been terrible. Like when I try to do double stroke rolls my right hand is good but my left hand doesn’t seem to play correctly. I’ll see if I improved in ten days
simple tools and illustrated quickly so I can use it in my practicing! Thanks again Jared!
So, yesterday I screw it, I'm heading to my local music shop and getting a practice pad and some sticks, have always wanted to learn the rudiments.
My left hand is like a fire hose going full blast with no one holding on when I try to keep in time with the right. Going to be a long year ahead getting this down. Can't wait
I watching this in 2018 and i feel so blessed. Thankyou!
Thank you for all the work you're doing.
When I lead with my right hand I can do rudiments and technique work for hours, if I feel the need. When I lead with my left hand my left arm and wrist aches after a few minutes and It feels like I have done a marathon. I'm literally out of breath. I believe this to be the key to a weak left hand, for me at least. I am working on leading with my left more often to balance things out.
thanks i will follow your instructions for i want to do this for God's glory..
Thanks man for yet another great video! Going to start that exercise from tomorrow and hopefully get that left hand to do some work too :)
Hey I had a question about this. I've been practicing this for about two to three weeks now and I notice my left hand hurts after playing. Its kinda effecting the rest of my practice because it hurts to use my left hand. I was practicing this seconds ago and it was hurting and it started to hurt a little in my forearm as well. I've been trying to play with tight grips or what I usually play which is fairly loose. I really don't know if I'm doing something wrong in this exercise because it feels fine throughout the day its just when I drum it gets difficult because of the cramping or whatever it is. Thank you
Thank you very much. I'm feeling the difference already!!
Can you do a build you left foot video? That'd be awesome too
Apply the same exercise in this video to your feet, or better yet, just go and play your drums more often. Use your left foot more often. Take a day where you play single pedal beats all with your left foot. Or do you have to have someone hold your hand and make little videos for you to be able to do anything? ffs
The last part of the sentence not really necessary though
try searching "Left Foot Independence"
Especially helpful in jazz
Oof
Hi Jared!!! Thanks a lot for this lesson, you are great teacher!!!!!
Non-cast earplugs will eventually fall out on any drummer. Beyond that, they tend to be better at blocking the high register. This isn't that much of a problem for someone who can cue by count, or does a lot of studio work. If you're like me and cue off vocals and melody, and do primarily live work, molds are the way to go. You can get them made for less than a good cymbal. The audiologist I found actually did them for less than the online DIY molds. I highly suggest!
They sound fantastic.
hey can you do a lesson or something on soloing for drums? my teacher keeps trying to teach me but i fail every single trime so i would really appreciate it if you can do a lesson for solos thanks it would help alot and btw i love your channel it helped sooo ,much
Often overlooked but very important! Nicely done.
This helped me a lot! And it’s already been 1 day! Thanks!
Thanks for this great video. My weaker hand is the left hand also. This will help a lot.
I especially want to use this to strengthen my left hand for playing open between hats and snare. Speed and accuracy are parts of the equation, but what are your approaches to this?
in number three you can also move the accents, it helps a lot
Man! Great lesson. I will try those exercises for sure. Thanks a lot; hugs from Colombia.
Thank you so much you have no idea how much your videos have taught and helped me ! ... Seriously, you are an amazing drumer ! =)
Thanks so much, I'm gonna start trying this!
sensei jared, thank you for yet another insightful lesson.
of all these. the most difficult seems to be the first one. specifically because of the left hand reaching over the right to the floor tom and back.
SHouldn't when you burst with left hand , kinda emphasize on the "+" where your left hand actually stops the roll? like wise when you do this on the 1/2/3/4 when you start this sort single roll ?
U can see the improvement ,u can feel the improvement that is so true
I'm right handed but, cause of bad habits, my weaker hand in drumming is the right. I'm surely gotta try this!
drumeo is da best
You get out what you put in I'll.do well to remember that..thats a fact.no short cuts thanks for the video.
Thanks Jared, will definitely try this out
Nice Tip Jared! Love the Community, love your content!!
I was surprised how much this helps
1:40 is how my drumming looks: i'm lefty and my right hand id dead-glued to snare. Thanks Jared, will try it out today.
great lesson
I sped up on exercise 2 it helps a lot ,by the way I love your videos
Awesome video Jared
You can develop your weaker foot by using the second demistration, but applying it to your weak foot rather than lead foot.
I have heard of them but I have not heard them.
that blue ball is sooooo coooool!!!
I like these exercises, I've been looking for stuff to improve my left hand! :)
Este es un buen video para todos los bateristas! Muchas gracias! :D
this is very good. thanks for this lesson
Nice Lesson 🥁🥁🥁🥁
I miss seeing so many Jared videos!
Moeller technique is the best it develops speed and control practice the modeler technique!!
Jared, you're a mind reader... Yesterday i wished that you would make a vid about this and here it is today. O.o You rock man!! :)
Thank you so much for this video!! I know it will help me a whole lot!!! Muchas Gracias :)
