One of the best drummers on youtube. supremely under rated

The internet definitely needs more good drum video instructions. There is so many jokers who've been hitting drums for a year or two who now give drum lessons. This channel is dope.

You're an excellent drummer and teacher. Thank you.

Wow I have never really thought about doubles in this way! If you didn't say it's doubles I would assume you are playing paradidles. It flows very well but it's kind of mind bending. Thank you Steve you are so creative and unconventional. That's why I love your channel.

Anyone else want to just hang out and drink beer with this guy?

Excellent communicator. You stay on target, do not get full of improv shenanigans, and remain perspicuous (yeah I used that word). Your pedagogy is solid...which is the intended goal right? The only thing I would add is 1) [this is a phrasing video, but...] Offer teaching on the double-stroke or references to get a better grasp (I wanted to know more of how you developed your facility when watching). 2) A summary statement...in this video I covered...and then illustrate adding a positive statement that is personal, "I really love using this..."

So much to think about and work on in just this one lesson, greatly appreciated Steve, thanks.

I'm proud to say that I've learned enough about mic placement and recording to be embarrassed with that mic placement in this video. Sorry recording engineers! I know better now!

Your videos are great, as is your playing. I hope you keep on doing these.

Mr. Clean! I love this rudiment too 🤙

Steve, what a fantastic lesson! Brilliant. Thank you.

Appreciate your videos. Good topics...well explained...clean playing...great mix/tuning on the kit

I love watching your lessons! Very motivational, thanks!

You're a legend Steve, and an amazing teacher too! Really love your vibe 😊

Fantastic stuff Steve, thank you and I LOVE the sound of your snare :)

Hey Steve! just wanted to thank you for all your work putting together your videos. Its improved my drumming tremendously! Thank YOU!!

The drumming in the Altered Live show is just amazing work. Fantastic!

Dude you are top shelf I'm hooked and I hope you get all the endorsements in the world you deserve it! Looking forward to more

Your talent & teaching skills are excellent. Thank you for sharing both.

Holmes is in the house !! Excellent!!

Legendary content! So glad I found this channel.

steve you are a good drummer and musician, i give you a compliment, also the way how you explain, very clear, very very good

Awesome Steve, learning tons of great stuff man.

Great instructional video! Practicing it now. You got my subscription. Thx

Good to see you still online, Steve. I remember the first videos I saw from you ten years ago from house of drumming. It was before youtube was big and I was regularly checking the drummer's section on musiciansforums. I just had to think of you and was curious if you were still active on the net. And here you are. Keep on drumming and vlogging.

Sweet. Reminds me of junior drum corps. I’d forgotten how good those sound when polished up. Your speed is enviable and that advice about movement from drum to drum could not be more important. It’s that task that has me looking for the hardware where I can keep my toms close and level as well - for easier lateral movement. Still lookng..

Awesome, man! I love your stuff!

You are the man, Steve. Thank you so much for these videos - its amazing how much youve opened up my mindset, playing.

Very nice and clear Steve 👍

I love the lessons Steve.

Hahaha !! Well done Steve !! Good teacher and good sense of humour as well !! ;-)

Man, that intro was freakin' awesome! Thanks for the very practical tutorial and yes, I don't practice this hardly at all because doubles are really awkward to play on toms, snare is fine.

ugh....wow.....very straight forward and clear...i definitely need to practice more

This dudes extremely talented!!! Subscribed after the 2nd video

GREAT DRUMMING, MASTER!!!!

Awesome! Love your videos!

You are really good at demonstrating... ThnQ...😀✌️

Damn dude you got chops. I clicked the subscribe button.

Glad I found your channel... This is like a month's worth of lessons lol

thank you steve realy helpfull keep on rollin

Steve your an amazing player and teacher.love the sound of that snare .what is it .cheers mate .

Great sound steve.

Very nice snare sound.

holy shit!!! such an easy concept, such an easy exercises but man, what a milleage you can get from it! Really great teacher you are, Mr. Holmes.

Good stuff for sure

killer thanx Steve!!

Nice lesson!

thanks!! you are awesome respect!

Excelente!!!

Thank you for this video. I’ve been doing 5 stroke rolls for a while, but these are helping me to understand exactly what I’m doing when displacing the accents and it’s helping me find new ways to apply them. Interestingly though, I actually watched the last 20 seconds at the end where you’re applying the fill to different grooves like 15 times. I never really learned how to play cool jazz grooves like that. You’re so damn good at them! Really cool how you use broken crappy cymbals sometimes too. Lol.

Is it just me or does he remind anybody of Dave Weckl? (with a hint of Vinnie Colaiuta, in the way that he holds his hands with very good support/posture -- the way Colaiuta does). I gotta find something that will help me get technique like that.

Love the effects! 😂

There are 2 drummer in tre world that I love: Dave Weckl and YOU. Top in tre world. Thanks for all, Steve!

I dig this! Thanks Steve, hope you’re doing fine’

I know this is an old post but I want to thank you for helping me with the double stroke.

Is that a dunnett titanium snare? It sounds amazing regardless! Thanks for the awesome vid, doubles in swing time are most certainly under estimated.

Thanx!

Watch t hundreds of video, Now i find this. Good Lord....Assuming one has a solid basic a understanding of stick control, this is amongst the best .

Steve could you please make a video on how to practice traditional grip

Does anybody know of any videos/DVDs that will help develop a traditional technique like his? I already have Jojo Mayers DVD, but I was wondering if there were any others? If you're still there Steve Holmes -- Thank you SO MUCH for your videos, and I would love to know if you have any recommendations for developing a technique as great as yours; i.e. Videos/DVDs/etc.? Either way - Thanks again.

Your doubles are so sweet!

OMG... this is the SECRET SAUCE so jazz drum solos...

Ok this was great

The double strokes 'merge in to one' because the hand action starts changing with the speed. The elbows are still moving more or less the same but the hands are taking over.

WOW!

Charly Antolini has a double stroke roll that sounds like single. I don't mean similar. I mean exactly. You can not tell it's double. You'd swear it's single until you see him playing. When I first saw it, it freaked me out. I didn't know it could actually be done. We talk about it, and work towards it. Charly can actually do it.

Steve you can record it without mics and it would still be a great, informational and valuable lesson to all drummer's, thanks

Great lesson and I'd have loved the PDF but it's not working. Any chance you could fix that, please?

Steve is my secret weapon.

Hello! Could you please upload the PDF transcriptions again? The link does not work.. Thank you!!

yeah

Uhh rudiments are the building block! Drumming is mastering singles, doubles and flams! The accented single and everything else doubled is one if Buddy,s secret weapon! Sounds alot harder than it is! The only thing Buddy had over everyone else is his push pull in his left hand!

Hi Steve - great content here.. I've been working on expanding my triplets vocabulary for some time. Can this phrasing be successfully used within or as 16th note triplets? Not diddling the accent of course. Turning them into 5 stroke rolls and the like.. A brief reply woul be so helpful, thanks..

Yeah. Great.

Loving your vids, new to drumming (old to music). Quick question, thanks in advance, does the tightness of the snare head matter when doing these or not much? I can't get these going at all, could it be my snare is not tight enough? Or does that not matter at all? Thanks!

wow wow wow

Tops

Haha "The POWER of DOUBLE STROKE ROLLS!" :-D

Yeeeeeeeeeeee🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Is that a giant hi hat, or just the camera angle?

better be careful your starting to sound like Dave W.

I need to use my arms a little more like you, I’m all wrist and fingers!

One way to achieve rolling triplets.. is to play a continuous 11 stroke roll

That is the strangest mic placement I’ve ever seen.

Thank you for not demonstrating on a practise pad Steve!

doubles or nothing
