It seems counter-intuitive to me to not use your strongest (index) finger in your grip. Why did you stop using it as your fulcrum and how have you found making the adjustment? :)

@@abc456f I've played a drum kit for 30 years, in cover bands and church but I've not really played anything where I've needed to learn or play rudiments. I gig most weekends year round but since all my gigs got cancelled from mid-March due to Coronavirus I have deliberately not practiced or played on my kit. In the last 10 years that I've been gigging solidly I've only ever practiced to learn new songs but I've decided to use the virus quarantine to only practice rudiments and only on a pad. My right hand is pretty good but my left hand is horrible. Way too much tension and elbow movement and way slower than the right. If I had two right hands I could probably play doubles at 200bpm but the fastest I can play doubles and keep my lefts and rights even is about 130. I'm only practicing variations of doubles and paradiddles because lets face it, I've gotten by for 30 years without even knowing what most of the rudiments are even called.

Drumeo might be the "Holy Grail", but as a beginning drummer (at 48!) I find a lot of their videos teach basic concepts without sufficient explanation, or they make advanced techniques look deceptively simple, again without sufficient explanation. Case in point, this topic which Mr. Brown spent 10-minutes presenting with an in-depth explanation would be a two-minute video on Drumeo. Of course the whole point of Drumeo's channel is not to actually teach drums but to push to you to their subscription website where you will presumably get the more complete lessons.

Rob: once again your videos are very helpful and practical. When I went to the US Marine Corps Drum & Bugle Corps School after Bootcamp, they taught us to NOT to Practice the Double-stroke roll with the usual RR LL RR LL Sticking. Instead, we were taught to practice with this sticking; RL--LR--RL--LR starting at a Full Stroke (Hi) Stick Height. We were told that this sticking Totally eliminates ANY Bounced Roll, and also eliminates the tendency to play the Long Roll with a Louder First stroke, followed by a softer or weaker Second Stroke as in Rr Ll Rr Ll.

Excellent, Rob. I wanted to tell you that what has helped my doubles immensely harkens back to the 20 minute double stroke workout you posted a while back. But what I did instead was start with a SINGLE stroke on the downbeat. So what you have is: LRRL LRRL LRRL LRRL etc. (or RLLR RLLR RLLR RLLR etc.). Man, I did THAT for twenty minutes with the click, nice and even. I guess it's sort of based on something I probably saw in the "Accents and Rebounds" book some years ago, but it has definitely helped me. Thanks for all your great, inspiring videos.
