This video is meant to show you a simple drumming concept (a Moeller 3 stroke) and all of its applications when mastered and applied on a deeper level. If you need a hand technique course where I break out this technique and a TON more, check out this 14 day free trial to my online drum school. I have Hand Technique 101 and Hand Technique 102 available for immediate access in the online campus: bit.ly/2TpkJmJ

I have to admit... the follow shot through this entire lesson without missing a beat is pretty dang amazing, and I GET the concept now.

This is a really great video concept with perfect execution. This should be nominated for an award. Incredibly inspiring, too. Awesome job, Stephen.

I believe this is the BEST drum lesson I've seen in 50 years of Playing. THANK YOU SIR You are a GIFT to the Drumming World. ❤️

Wow! Took you 4 minutes to completely blow my mind! You are putting a lot of drum teachers out of business.

That last shot of new breed and syncopation hits home. Nice work

I have played drums for 45 yrs and hadn't heard of this until about a decade ago. After hearing about it on the internet, I set out to learn it. For years it just wouldn't click, my hands just didn't get it but I didn't give up. Then about 4 yrs ago I finally got past the block and it clicked. The motion fell into place and for the first time, I felt that nearly effortless stream of strokes and it felt GREAT! For the next several months I practiced my newly learned skill and more and more it became natural and more even. This skill changed my drumming measurably and helped me get enjoy some of the hand speed that I had felt impossible for me to achieve, and it was nearly effortless! If you haven't learned this yet, take the time to start playing the strokes slowly and GRADUALLY build up speed. I concentrated on my hands feeling comfortable playing steady even strokes for months before I increased my speed. I found that to be a wise option as it made my playing much cleaner and more precise. This is definitely a game-changer for your drumming if you haven't already learned it. :-)

As a non-drummer, I love how something that sounds so simple is blowing the minds of all the drummers here. Simplicity in anything is pretty always best!

A great video! Real world application.no aimless lecture. Followed by a 3 second example from a professional. No ads. No bullshit. Top notch KZfaq content

I'm glad you brought this one up, I learned this when I was 14 in middle school band, I was having a conversation with the new band director at the time, he was a drummer/percussionist, I played trumpet, so I asked him a few drum questions on a break one day, he took out his practice pad and this happened to be the same exercise you just displayed! I had forgotten about that moment until I watched this!! Thanks for bringing back a great memory from so long ago!!!

Massive props for doing this for the entire video haha. Very true in getting simple and basic foundations first towards becoming an exquisite and adaptable musician. Cheers Stephen

This is a PRICELESS video of a "simple" concept. Can't thank you enough!

Hands down the most inspiring 3:57 minutes of content I’ve seen on any drum site! Thank you for the kick in the ass to practice techniques I so desperately need to be better at!

Aside from Bonham and every song I learned listening to him......this was one of the COOLEST lessons in just minutes I've ever heard. I'm 48. Peace. Thank you.

Wow....after playing for 40+ years...I feel like i am starting with a brand new feel, and direction....brilliant.....Basics, and build from the foundation.

This is genius level content on many levels. Thanks for making us all better drummers, Stephen!

I already know this concept, but man, the way it's filmed and directed is just mindblowing! Amazing work! You managed to show all the power of Moeller technique with detailed explanation and all the exercises in just 4 minutes! You're the god of the art of making drum teaching videos, Stephen!

As a largely self-taught player I developed this technique many moons ago and never thought about how I landed on it. It came naturally though. Before watching this, I honestly didn't know HOW I was playing these patterns. It's awesome to see stuff like this that broken down even though I can ALREADY play it. This is great addition to any drummer's repertoire. Thanks for sharing!

This is the single most incredible piece of music I’ve ever seen in a long time. This is beyond any theater piece I’ve seen, and he didn’t even look like he was trying.

You just changed my entire life in 4 minutes

This is just LEGENDARY. I'll download this to show my son in some years even if YT disappeared.. This should be immortalised man, GREAT work.

well spoken & demonstrated. May the force of natural movements be with you . And on this notion, a deep appreciation on the teachings of S.A. Moeller & J. Chapin. Cool video Stephen.👋

Bloody great video mate, you’ve levelled up again as a teacher and KZfaqr…And in doing so have helped tens of thousands of drummers also level up

I was felling really down on my progress.. not seeing going forward enough. That sensation that I couldn't pass the basic stuff. The frustration on trying more complex rolls and failing. And then you drop this and took me a day to see it. Thank you Stephen. Brought back energy to my mind.

This might be one of the greatest videos I've seen showing not only the simple concept, but applied, and concisely!! Hope to see more like this!!

Beautifully demonstrated. Thanks, Stephen!

Bravo, Stephen!!! Whats a great reminder for us to keep it simple and master the basics.

The basics learned well make us better in any area: music, theology, writing, building, athletics, etc. Know the base deeply. This video is perfection!

I love the message in this video, taking one simple thing and going deep with it, instead of many partially learned things. Excellent teaching and a good reminder. Thank you 🙏

That was one of the best instruction videos I’ve ever seen. Amazing and simple concept combined explained perfectly in just a few minutes. Wow! Great job!!!

That brother was absolute perfection pure and simple.

The only book I ever used to Practicve. Syncopation. Truly ground breaking stuff.

Absolutely beautiful presentation! Loved it!!

Damn this man has elevated his game.

Awesome in its simplicity! Great demonstration.

the continuous take of this is absolutely genius, this is an incredibly well made video

I'm less than a month into my drumming journey, so this was really interesting and encouraging to see how a single practice exercise can build into a bunch of cool rhythms and techniques! Thanks for the great video!

By far one of the coolest videos you have made. The pre production planning to get this is awesome.

The next time I feel like I’ve gotta work on the 20 things I feel buried by, behind on, and lost in, I will remember this video. Thank you

Excellent organization of video/drum material. Great teaching 👍 👏

Loved the video. Especially the Syncopation and New Breed books at the end. 🙌🏼 Staples!

I just started playing the drums again a few months ago. I've played this pattern on tables (and things people wish I wouldn't) before picking up the sticks and getting drums again because it's cool and fun. Then you interlace them and blow me away. This is such a great video! Endless possibilities, and truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome video!!! I even enjoyed the tour around the place, really cool!

Wow! Message recieved! Thank you for a brilliant lesson! ~an American in Korea 🇰🇷

Another super piece of advice Stephen. Thank you.

This is really timely for me! I've been working on my brush technique, specifically accents on the brushes. For exercises, I took the triplet accent exercises from Syncopation and focused on brush accents, trying to get them to flow and sound natural without jamming the brushes together. It seems like there's a lot of cross-over between the two forms. The approach that I'm taking is more methodical, but yours is definitely a lot better for loosening up and quick warm-ups before playing a set. Thanks for posting!

You are a great drummer and a great teacher as well! This pattern is in my head right now without even touching my drum sticks. 🤯

That is without doubt is best thing you've put out. What a great message. Thanks.

Fantastic video Stephen… as ever! A great concept, extremely well demonstrated ❤️😎🙌🏻

Was a pleasure to see this.. great concept how you applied this!

Very good explanation on how hands can work . Way to go. This is by far the best explanation of a three note pattern I’ve seen on You Tube. Very impressive, Sir. “Three” Thumbs up.

You had me a "The concept is extremely simple". Brilliant.

Simply great video! Perfect way to explain to a beginner the importance of triplets.

Sir, I love you. I have such a hard time conceptualizing SO MANY drum practices until I hear/watch you explain it

Thank you for teaching me in a manner that fits my brain.

That was excellent Stephen. Nailed it and got the message across perfectly. Cheers.

I have struggled with single-stroke rolls forever. I've used the three-stroke technique but only when practicing using alternating hands but never realized that I could combine both hands in this way and achieve such startling results, and so quickly. This video has been a revelation to me.

Very nice little essay. Killer work on the single camera shot and the live/studio audio edit. This was really enjoyable to watch, dude :)

Best video you've made, bravo for the lesson + precision + creativity

Great job Mr. Taylor. I think I'm already using this technique, but didn't realize it. Thank you for breaking it down and making it simple.......🥁

Brilliant training video Stephen , Yep gonna start more work on the 3 note moller stroke !!! Really Well Done !!

Brilliant video! Awesome lesson. I will practice

This lesson has really helped me dial in my single stroke roll. Thanks Stephen!

You just made me feel great about being able to play like this. The world is the drummer's instrument!!!

Awesome video in concept, style and execution. Brilliant job Stephen!

That was THE COOLEST video I have ever seen. Infinite love and gratitude from Colorado my man. I applaud you...truly.

This is a very profound concept/lesson, and I like how you presented it. I think you have arrived at a series, where you are on the practice pad walking about, on the drum set for part of it, then back to where you started. The message of "Simple, yet deep" can be the same for each of the simple techniques, yet driven home over and over with each video. I like the voice-over. Overall I can say that this spoke to me probably like many others that watch your channels. Maybe make a companion "Applied" version of the video which is just on the kit and goes in detail about the patterns around the drums yet references the "Simple, Yet Deep" video as they work together. Not that you need me for any video ideas as you already have them, but I think you could turn this into a series, presented in a similar way.

I NEVER comment on KZfaq videos, but this is the most brilliant execution of a drum education video I have seen, and I have watched many. The video is so inspiring on so many levels, even with the tiny details like the book education classics in the background. Stephen, truly excellent work here!

So solid. Thank you for this.

Wow you've really opened my eyes. My next goal is mastering this. Thanks a lot

This was just a fun and well thought out vid 😊👍 Right, on to the practice pad

Outstanding. Stephen's insistence on simplicity and practicality is what makes him one of the best and favourite drum teachers on the KZfaqs. You will ALWAYS learn something in his videos!

I like it! This is something I will practice because it makes sense and sounds good.

Wow, this is by far the most original video drum lesson I've seen so far. Helpful and masterfully executed. Kudos and thank you for sharing this teaching content.

Very cleverly done. Point well taken.

awesome thanks - just what was needed right at the stage I just got to.

You knocked this one out of the park my friend. Very well done.

I just received new snare wires (First set of Puresounds ever) today as a bit of inspiration. And now I have something to practice. I greatly appreciate it, sir.

That was....AWESOME! Thank you for this, Stephen.

EPIC . brilliant execution on the lesson

Stephen - thanks for the video. For me one of the best videos out there for drumming education and just right in time. A good message and you have to watch it from the start till the end - so it's entertaining and catchy too! I do KZfaq videos in German and so I know exactly how much work you put in and how hard it is to get a message like this in that format. You nailed it. Thanks for your inspiration as a drummer, teacher and online coach throughout all the years. I also learned a lot from your course "The Art Of Practice For Musicians". Big drummer hug from Germany, keep it up and all the best to all drummers out there! Jochen ❤🥁👍🏼

simply amazing, Stephen!!

Great lesson Stephen! Love the single shot video. Cool concept 🙂

This video is art. Beautiful and informative!

Very nice presentation! Inspires me to get back to the basics and get better. Thank you.

Dude, this is excellent! A concise little instruction with a deep lesson. Been drumming for decades myself, but this is so good, I have to save it to show to new drummers. Cheers to ya!

And once it becomes second nature, you carry it with you forever. I still use warm-up rhythms and techniques from marching back 20+ years ago every time i play. Great video, brother - love the single shot (and the aquarian heads)

Thanks Stephen, this one just came to me in the right moment. I still have to work on my left and then the unison stroke, which I started practicing out of pure intuition. But the next goal is right ahead!

That was one awesome video. Great job man. Fun to watch, educational, just great!

Well Stephen, you just made the most efficient and power packed drum tutorial. Well played sir and thank you.

Brilliant presentation, absolutely unique. I've never seen anyone take such a simple concept and run with it nonstop like this, in order to show its countless possibilities for music. Very, very smartly done.

Very cool and it all makes a lot of sense. Thumbs up!

This is what makes an effective teacher. Brilliant work Stephen.

this is now officially my favourite video about drumming. fascinating!

Great video! So true! I know this, yet I don’t often follow through with the work. I am my own greatest limitation. Thanks for the inspiration to get back to practice!!!

Great lesson and great presentation

Great video, my new goal. Love the buildup to the end freestyle section.

True brilliance and a definite "ah ha" moment - thank you Professor Stephen!!

This is the best breakdown I have ever seen. You have skills man! Thank you for sharing. Subscribed!

This video was fun to watch , I like the monologuing
