As many of you rightfully noted in the comments, this is Moeller's technique. This came as a surprise to me, as I've mostly played by George L. Stone's "Stick Control", "Accents and Rebounds" and then Joe Morello's "Advanced Studies", all of which I highly recommend if you didn't know about them already. However, I think the Moeller's technique, which deals with a three stroke cycle, is only a part of the video. To me at least, the Moeller's technique comes into play at faster speeds, where rebound can dictate the consequential movement of the stick, using the leftover energy produced by the first hit. But in my experience of teaching mostly complete beginners - people who've never held a stick before - Moeller's technique could only be applied once you've developed your wrist motion and learned to unlock it without losing grip of the fulcrum. Hence, I wanted to break down in detail the initial stroke itself, by showing the importance of the hidden upstroke involved. Advanced players might not find this useful because they have developed their sense of rebound and resonance, as well as control over their wrists so long ago, that it becomes natural to them and they assume everyone should be able to pick it up. In my opinion, technique cannot be claimed, rather it can be discovered, as it all comes down to where physics and the laws of motion coincide with the limitations and capabilities of the human body. Let me know your thoughts in the comments. Cheers and thanks for watching!

Never saw such a comprehensive explanation like this one on the subject. This is a treasure. Tk you so much.

I’ve been paying for online drum lessons and this right here is the BEST explanation I’ve seen so far for doubles. And totally FREE! Thanks so much for sharing this with the public. Excellent teacher 👍🏽

I’m coming back to drumming after a 20 year break. My left hand is awful, just awful. Working through my rudiments and building my hands back up along with limb independence. This is a phenomenal refresher on the double stroke roll. Thank you so much.

FINALLY! This explanation for double strokes, is by FAR, the best one out there! I know, because I’ve seen ‘em ALL! So thank You for this video!

Listen man you have really got something here. I have never been successful at the double stroke but I am still a decent drummer. This explanation and technique is the best I have ever seen. Thank you for making this video.

I’ve never had this explained to me better. This is the best example and explanation I’ve ever seen… and I teach drums for a living. Thank you so much.

Having never had actual drum lessons, I've struggled with double-strokes the 20-ish years I've been playing in terms of getting them powerful and even. Until right now I never once heard about inverting it and accenting the "double" to dupe being even. That's brilliant and I am only 39 seconds into this video. And I guess about 5 minutes away from running off to my kit.

Excellent tutorial mate..thanks for the great technique 👍

Best double-stroke roll tutorial I've ever seen.

Outstanding demonstration and tutorial. Thank you!

Excellent video

This is the holy grail 🙌🏻

Very well done this method has proven to be one of the best, I'm re learning it after many years of not playing the drums.. I appreciate I appreciate people putting things like this on KZfaq it really helps a lot of us out thanks again

Great breakdown. Subscribed.

This really helps me

What a great video. Never saw an explanation like this. Thank you so much!!!

Subscribed. Amazing breakdown.

Wow what a great and thorough explanation of technique. I subscribed instantly. Thanks

A lot of the extra mechanics of the motion of a rebound stroke are natural. Get out of the way of the stick and practice individual double strokes without the roll and all of these motions will come naturally without feeling forced. This is why Buddy Rich always recommended the Rebound Stroke to all drummers of different skill levels.

really great demo,all the details are there.

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank to nail on the explanation

Superb video, thanks

This is the most comprehensive I have seen the technique explained. I will use the example terminaology with my students. Thank you! "STAY LOOSE" :)

Such a perfect advice❤️👍

good quality video. thank you

Great in depth instruction. My best explanation is "bounce it twice on each hand". Stick control and height. Muscle memory. Practice, practice, practice.

This was awesome. Cheers!!

This is one of the best doubles videos ever!!! Thanks!

Thanks brother! You demonstrate it very well so I can understand it🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

I like the technique of this double stroke roll and it's application to beginners. It seems exaggerated but it fully explains how it works and how to get it faster with complete control.

wow this is so informative

Thanks for your great video! Very helpful! 🥁👍

Great lesson! 😍

This is great. Thanks👍👏🏽

Great explanation to someone still trying to get it tighter. Thanks man. Keep up the good tutorials for us !

Very precise method of explaining skills

That's about as detailed as I've seen. Very well spoken and just plain professional if u ask me. Thank you Drum Ape

Great breakdown!

Thanks a lot! This video was really helpful for me in learning to play double stroke as I was struggling with it!

Thanks for this bro

Wow this is so well explained, it made so much sense to me. I cannot wait until I get home later and start doing this - thank you SO much I love your videos 👍🏻

Very Nice!

I would like to congratulate you on making a 5 minute video that is only 5:35 long. Too many of these instructional videos have 3 minutes of useful content but are 8-12 minutes long. Oh, and thanks for a great video. Can't wait to start working on this!

Great explanation

Excellent explanation 🤩

Great Video !!!!

Great video!

TOP OF THE LINE MAN !! (This is for beginners !! Unlike a few other beginner videos I saw). You are amazing but man, the way you explain things in detail, the very best videos on single and double stroke from 50 that I watched so far !! THANK YOU for demystifying it !

Wow thanks

Wow - this is truly awesome. My double strokes are terrible, but your method here is so easy to understand and very logical. I can't wait to start shedding tomorrow! Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing! Liked/Subscribed/Shared...Happy Drumming 😃

Well said!!!

Thanks

A melhor videoaula de todos os tempos...

I could practice these for 5 years and still suck at drumming. Thank goodness there’s folks out there who know what the hell they’re doing 🙏🙏🙏

A detail Lesson awesome

Very Good Tutorial on stick control. I'm 69 years old, returning to playing drums after a 50 year Hiatus for FUN and a Hobby in Retirement. I am simply grateful to keep the beat and offer some enhancements to fills while playing MY MUSIC (Old , Basic Rock ). Took lessons (maybe 10 or so ) back in 1966. I play by ear and do not read music , other than basic drum measures. I do need to practice more to attain at least half this speed..... THX again. Be safe all and Enjoy the Drums...

Great video. Mentioning that many don't relax their wrist after the second stroke was a good observation I believe that's exactly what's keeping me below 160 bpm, been at that barrier for awhile now.

Damn... subbed.

I bet the the 6 people who disliked this video use French grip (thumbs up), and could not use this technique. Incredible break down... THANK YOU for this!

Very good!

Thank you, this is the best video I’ve found. Right now I just bought a drum pad and I’m looking for exercises to practice. Sadly, I broke my thumb and have a cast. but I’m excited to take it off so I could start practicing

Instantly subscribed! If I do decide to get deeper into drumming I’m buying lessons here.

อธิบายได้เคลียร์มาก very good

You sir, just got a sub. Thanks for the great video! I've been playing for over 20 years and keep trying to improve my basics, this is a great exercise to add to the arsenal! Cheers!

Better known as the Moeller stroke 😁 Explained by the greatest... The one and only, DrumApe 💙💛💙

You a really helpful, I like the way you explain the subject. If you keep on doing this, you will have alot of subscribers.❤God bless❤

Cool video

Just wow! Thank you very much. I wish I saw this vid like 20 years earlier haha

awesome. liked and subbed

Nice!

OMG! That was very very useful for me!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us🙂 Actually I can able to understand clearly... After seeing this video instantly SUBSCRIBED🙂🙂🙂

Hey this is the video if anyone here wants to master double stroke or anything else for that matter. I watched other videos but this one is for me. Recommended to anyone .

Superb 👆🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 i like it

Brilliant

So well explained! Thank you. As a beginner I've watched so many videos on techniques I should be practicing and the more I investigate, the murkier it gets. This video has really given me a clear exercise to focus on where I can see the benefit. Thank you. You mentioned push pull technique is similar but needs to be explained in a different video. Would you consider making a video on this too!? :-)

Tank sir

Phenomenal instruction!

For me it's helped thinking in "paradiddles" but accenting certain parts. Like this: parAdiDLE. Or, easier to think, one AND two AND.

Biggg fan yours 😘😘😘👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🤝🏻

EXCELLENT BEAUTIFUL AMAZING SUBLIME INMORTAL 🎼 🥁 🎶 🎵

This has been such a help, especially with my left hand, what practice pad are you using ?

Great

As a new drummer I’m practicing very hard at learning these techniques. I practice at least an hour every day, but I feel like I’ve hit a wall. This is the best video I’ve seen so far at showing the exact technique. Can’t wait to try it out!

You can also do double stroke roll using rebound. Rebound is when you drop something solid on for example a table it jumps few times and the jump height decreases and decrease and you may also see it jumping faster when the jump is lower until until it's stable and doesn't jump again, depending on the material, it can be strong or weak, if you drop something like a stick on a table it will keep jumping and jumping until it stopped it's now standing on the table, so a hard material gives efficient rebound, so if you drop a stick on a pillow or a couch you don't get much rebound since both couch and pillow are soft, but when you play on a concrete, wood, metal or anything that is hard and solid you get a great rebound.

Yesssss!!!!

Thanks for the great tutorial, you have it sounding really smooth, strong & consistent. I was wondering if you could give some insight as to the different angle of your practice pad vs the snare drum in this vid? eg. pad sloping away from you & snare sloping toward you?

I'm about a month or 2 into doing doubles practice like this almost every day for 20 minutes or more and finally getting some good doubles! For some reason my weak hand (left) "Learned" how to unlock and snap the wrist over years of doing little doubles here and there on the snare, but my strong hand (right) just did NOT want to let the wrist unlock to get the "pop" needed to get these doubles to work. I have finally powered through this issue though! It really does pay to take it slow and work your way up.

great, time to get drums

This is great! Your explaination using the stick at shoulder height is a lot like the amazing JoJo Meyer's in Secret Weapons of the Modern Drummer. I feel like I'm finally getting a handle on this technique after watching your video and the old Jim Chapin doubles video, but I seem to always hit a wall at about 100bpm and cant make this go any faster. Guess i have to just keep working at it.

Nice clean, concise, well written and edited video! But please don't ask me to like it or give you money before I've even seen it. :v

u have a right grip, no hole between thumb and index.. but it still works? is it fine to not have the space? bcus i find it more easier not to have the space, what do you think?

❤❤❤

Smashhh!!!

Great vid dude, did you ever make the second part hinted in the video?

Sir, how many days should you exercise?

So frustrating after 12 years to have to re-learn this! I removed my fingers from the sticks when i used rebound and god now i feel like I'm starting over but i am damn sure it's worth it Great tips!
