you are a drummer brain AI overlord bro dude! Holy Moly!

[DHTokyo]

Aaannd I've just deleted most of the drumming channels I've subscribed to this week because your content is the best and probably the only one I need right now (beginner here).

[superDUPERman]

This is a great vid. I’ve watched non glamours drummer and think his vids are great, but your explanation of moeller is so helpful

[illbill]

Hey Noah, thanks for the video. It's really great, seriously. Keep up the good work and, with a bit of patience, you will see great results for your channel. Wish you the best!

[johnoriordan]

Thanks for this video. Its a great level of detail about what our hands, wrists, arms and fingers should be doing which nobody else tells you online. Thanks so much you helped me a lot. Hello from lreland 🇮🇪

[sobermind]

Man, I needed to hear some of these things. I find myself second guessing my grip a lot. But you gave me a bit of confidence. Thanks!!

[jonashellborg]

Very good, definitely some good, concrete pointers in there for how wrist, fingers, arms relate to each other. Thank you!

[YoganTha]

Playing is fast is essential for particular genres also...bot only fun and cool

[dubmilan]

Thank you Noah for this lesson. Cheers from germany

[taes]

Love seeing these videos man, they focus on some of the things my drumming is lacking, really appreciate how you teach man!

[jaxbrooks]

Thanks so much, you have just answered all the questions I’ve had in relation to developing speed! Subscribed.

[Ian_P]

Thank you.
The quick but meaty information is a sharp way to insert the right knowledge on techniques to viewers.
Your crafting/creating, production, and playing have been amazingly helpful. Im so glad I stumbled on to your YouTube channel.

[morgendorffer]

Dude we have like the exact same kit. Gretsch Catalina Elite, what a gem

[migueldiaz]

Why is teaching someone how to bounce a stick so difficult??? 😅 You my friend explained it very nicely! Gonna share this with my students. Thanks bro!

[pirmaiscalispagalma]

How do you only have 777 subscribers? The quality of these videos are very impressive! If you keep this up, it's only a matter of time, you get noticed. Good job!

[TK-bjdw]

Which practice pad do you use in this video?

[zachary]

Regarding the grip: You said to always keep your thumb across from the index finger even when the fulcrum shifts. But then you say you like to use the middle finger fulcrum, and in that case, the thumb is more across from the middle finger. Confusing!

[ajdrums]

Man Merlini does finger controlled singles at 220 with ONE HAND 😅

[mehdimoussaoui]

wow i didn't know nakey jakey could play drums that good

[erikthys]

Summary: the fastest way to speed is to practise years on end starting slow. You're welcome
