Now, THAT'S what I'm talking about Rob! You never disappoint. You are the self-taught drummers' best friend! All the things that self- talk drummer struggle with, you always tend to address. That's why I love clicking on your videos. I know it's never a waste of my time. Like many self-taught drummers, I struggle with speed, not only on my snare but around the kit and without formal instruction, you're left to your own imagination on how to cure those problems. So here we are... In Living Color. Step-by-step instruction for the beginner, intermediate and self- taught drummer on how to build that hand speed! I plan on doing this for at least 15 minutes before I start practicing and playing everyday.   I can already see that it's going to increase my speed tremendously. Once again, I'm a great fan of your channel and  know anybody who wants to learn drums can go from Zero to Hero simply by watching your channel everyday and doing the exercises that you recommend. You're awesome, brother!

Hey hey ! Holy crap had no idea my single stoke roll was so terrible.  I’ll be doing this exercise  DAILY .  I can’t even do the 1 sec perfect, much less the three’s. But I’m 62 yrs old and I work hard. I’ll get it.  I will let you know when I can follow you .  This is exactly what I need.  This gives me high hopes .  This is the one  thanks Rob. We should  say Sir Rob.
Thank you
Comedian Angelo Dundee,

That's genius. If I'd only found you 30 years ago!

This video has such a "workout video" vibe to it, as in those old exercise tapes. That's not a bad thing, get's you motivated. Very unlike anything else I've seen when it comes to exercises and it's all because of the rhythmic talking, that backing track and the personal little questions "how you doing?" and "good job" kind of stuff. Really makes you want to practice along with the video. Good job Rob.

Beginner drummer here, showing some love to this exercise and this channel. Getting the fingers quick enough for nice, smooth single stroke rolls has been something I've struggled since I got my practice pad (it's been almost a year since that). Just trying out this exercise one evening felt good, and after a short week going at it, the improvement in smoothness and technique is amazing! Rob, you're the man!

I just played a three hour show for the first time in 10 years. Your videos got me back in shape Rob, and I got to see myself play for the first time in over a decade.
I saw all the work from using your exercises right there in front of me, man! I'm using fingers and wrists instead of hamfisted arm and shoulder playing.
I changed my cymbal layout, dropped the second tom (my ride lives there now) and changed my sticks to hickory instead of oak. Technique has shot up, fatigue is way down.
It all paid off, and it's thanks to you Rob. Great great great channel. Thank you SO MUCH! Peace.

I.m 70 years old. Never had a lesson and, when I found Rob Brown it showed. Rob you’ve improved my playing beyond
measure and I’m loving it. Anyone got fifty years they can lend me.

Hey Rob so glad I came across your channel 3 months ago. Your hand exercises have completely transformed my drumming skills in that short space of time. I play in a Muse tribute band and there were a lot of fills that I used to scrape through by the seat of my pants, and now I fly into them with complete confidence without having to think about them so much. Especially on tracks like Resistance, Knights of Cydonia, Assassins and Stockholm Syndrome. Thanks so much dude!

I now use this as my everyday warm up. Before shows. Recording. Whatever. U absolutely rock! Love that I found you. This might be my fav video… at least so far. Can’t wait to show ppl whether students or peers. And having the cool beat to play too makes a huge difference !!

At the beggining it looks like it's going to be easy if you're concentrated, but when you get to the groups of 3-32nd's, the exercise turns into a beast!!! Thank you Rob for this lessons, man: they are priceless!!!

New drummer here and I just survived this at 75% speed. I feel warm a ready to play, AND a little tired.

DEFINITELY EFFECTIVE!!!!  Also, I find starting with your non-dominant hand, as well as using much heavier sticks than you would normally play with, to be very helpful in developing muscle strength, endurance, control and speed.
Great job as usual Rob!  Thank you!!

Watching Rob Doing the fast 32nd notes reminds me of a hummingbird hovering in place. Just totally relaxed and badass.

Still using this to warm up before shows years later. Thanks Rob!

Man, you recorded the best single strokes video of youtube!!! I watched your 20 minutes double strokes video, doing it every day since almost one month and, believe me, my speed and control increased tremendously! I'm gonna practice both single and doubles every day watching your videos. And I am sure I will improve! Thank you very much!!! Just a little suggestion for everybody: if you struggle with the bpm Rob is playing, just reduce the video speed. I reduced to 90% and worked perfectly for me. Keep practicing every day! Ciao!

ROB I love your videos. I haven't clicked on one that doesn't enrich me as a musician. Great stuff.

Now this is what I'm talking about...Great video...JUST GREAT

This exercise is great: french or german, left lead or right lead, moeller or wrists, french moeller/ german moeller, the possibilities to develop are literally in your hands! Many thanks rob very very much!

Another fantastic and practical exercise. Your videos always make the prospect of practicing something to get excited about. Returned to drumming after 30 years, starting like a beginner again. Never learned the rudiments back in the day so I'm determined to learn them now. My goal is a perfect single and double-stroke roll. Long way to go, my 50 year-old left hand is not being very cooperative! These videos are gold. Huge thanks!

Wish I had found this channel a few years earlier, these exercises are doing justice for my hands, thanks Rob
