Life changing event for my drumming life 10 years ago. I use open close everyday as it’s a natural motion now. If your looking precision, this is your prescription. Shout out to Gordy from Atlanta Georgia.

This is too amazing. He makes it look so easy!

Ohh I’m so happy this is still here. 10 years later and I’m back!!

Best explaining of strokes ever I found in youtube - you are an outstanding, excellent teacher Mr. Knudtson - thank you very much - keep on your teaching!!!

this is something that all metal drummers want to learn for their blast beats.

Thank you for your incredible contribution to the drumming world!Gordy you are magnificent!!!!

The perfect technique for blast beats 🔥

I've been playing for over 40 years. It's going to be difficult to break away from my old drumming habits! 😫🙂

True focus and precision - this is basically what I’d like my drum ability to be. I’m going to try your excersizes, i also greatly appreciate your style, discussion and explanation of the playing - it feels like anyone can get to this level who wishes to. The gear tips was also greatly appreciated as I’ve heard suggestions of wearing weights when doing the methods.

Excellent & Great....!!!! Many many thanks for share it....! You make an excellent instructor...!! Greetings from Argentina

This is so cool! Wish I had someone taught me this when younger.

Gordy Knudtson... what a drummer...

Thank you so much for this great video. I'm a percussion instructor and my students greatly benefit from this excellent video. Thanks to this video I have students as young as 8 years old who are now able to utilize the "open-close" technique. 👏👏👏

Absolutely incredible drummer!!

Wonderful!

Seriously the BEST "hand technique" video on planet earth...VERY IMPRESSIVE. Im gonna go try this right now, and its 4am in the morning...

Finally the video I need! Thaaaaaaaaaaaaank Uuuuuuuu!

Amazing work very nice

This guy is so good he creeps me out. Dig that stare, the monotone voice and the black motif.

Спасибо!

Thanks!!

very good....thanks...

Damn that snare is amazing!

Way harder than it looks- great video

Hey Gordy, I don't think I wanna do it so fast or you know, great stuff with your wrist technique.

Thanks for your sir

That´s beautiful

Excelente, para llegar al push and pull

so how do you get the sound from closing the hand? cause to me closing the hand looks the same as giving it the tap between the open and close. ive been doing double strokes as open tap essentially.

So can you play this method on your toms good or would it sound weak?

Okay so I am trying this method however the only way I can get a bounce is with closing my hand..I'm trying my fingers but my hand closes every time. so then what do I do?

Brutal

Oh. My. God.

This is crazy

Wooooooo tx

Is this the "catching the bounce technique"?

What practice pad are you using? Thanks

Ending is hilarious !!! By the way, I find it hard upon going faster and faster to make the wrist movement stay in sync : close then open again ( in the 3 and 4 modes ). Is there a trick there or should I just keep on practising hoping it'll gradually improve ? Thanks Gordy for your tips and method.

Gordy ,the sticks keep on falling from my hands and also they strike each other any tips on how to prevent it

2:43

I don’t understand how to get the stick to rebound so high that the stick is still pointing up when my wrist bends down

This is so difficult to learn...

Argentine very good tank you

I can do this stuff but however when I want to get it to Speed The Clarity just goes away what do I have to do keep practicing with a metronome slowly go up the speed and back down

what a tasty snare

👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤣🤣🤣

breaking the wrist is the secret, ain't it Gordy? Nice video

luk at de flic o dat rist

You could easily expand your method and release more materiel on it. What do you know of Biomechanics? Certain types of martial arts use it. You definitely do. “The Biomechanics of Drumming.” I don’t know. I’m just an owl. I only know about the biomechanics of flight

When was this made? 2012? Oh...

Three note stroke continues mode.....Moeller stroke.

A CLOCKWORK DRUMMER..............TRY ME...THE BEST DRUMMER YOU NEVER HEARD

Fletcher is that you?

this is so hard to get to speed. guess i need to give it more time than 2 weeks! hah..

Circumcisions anyone? Nip the tip, just like a drum stick, it’s real quick, take 5 min max

Don’t blow your heads off, kids 😂

What the fuck🥶 what's name the technique? Please

How do you not have Popeye forearms?
