5-Minute Beginner Drum Warmup With Emmanuelle Caplette

Practice along with Emmanuelle Caplette as she goes through this 5-minute beginner drum warmup on the practice pad!

If the tempo is too fast for you, use the video controls to slow it down or set your own metronome to a speed that works for you.

These exercises are great for developing your single strokes and double strokes, as well as basic accents. Once you’ve worked through this warmup, try some of these exercises from the legendary drum book, Stick Control!

And – as always – it’s more fun to practice rudiments along to songs, so enjoy this epic Kaz Rodriguez track (or find one of your own that’s at a good tempo for you).

No way is this for beginners at my level. Have mercy on the genuine beginner.

[JeffRandallDrumming]

Killer warm-up! And wow, the production is excellent.

[digiphot]

Thankyou!!! I am a very visual 72 year old disabled USCG Veteran from the rupture of a 5mm aneurism behind my left eye... but can wail the begeebers out of my Meinl Slap/top Cajon and Remo Bongos...I just purchased a Pro"15 in.: Snare for $61.00! I just marked my REMO practice pad with L/R so I can keep up with the video metronome and visual R/L music designation ! It was really exciting seeing you drumming from above!!!
Wish me luck! I will need it! HAHA! I wanted to play drums back in 1963 but the band teacher was holding out the snares for the A-Band students! will be practicing with your video piece! WOW! And as the say in the Coast Guard....Hugs and Kisses!

To the editor who added all the little graphics on each hit - you are a star! A Very patient star :D

[jonathanomahony]

Excellent. I had a lot of fun warming up with this today. It got quiet difficult at the end.
The track is perfect for rudiments. I love it.
This is now by far my favourite way to practice rudiments. Thank you Drumeo and thank you Emmanuelle Caplette and thank you Kaz Rodriguez for the track.
I am going to try to practice Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone to this track. I love the tempo changes. Much more fun than a metronome. I need to find more tracks like this.

Would be great to see more of this production style of video. I'm a drum teacher and my students love it! Can you please make some more? If anyone knows where to find more video's like this please let me know. Otherwise any tech savvy drum teachers, could be a lucrative hole in the market. Get busy :) Great work Drumeo, Emmanuelle is awesome!!

[bryanharrison]

Between the skills, the ability to teach, and the accent, I've been hooked for a decade on emannuelle.

[Chiroman]

EC, this is an exceptional warm up exercise. THX for this. At 70 YO, a resurrected "drummer", playing again after a 50 Year Hiatus, I better get Busy !!! 100 BPM is not in my wheel house, but I will try. I will tell you all. It SUX to get Old.... Aches and pains are chronic; arthritis in the spine, hips and knees, but I still persevere best I can. Who knows, maybe a Geriatric Band will surface here around me. one day soon. For now, I try to keep tempo with My Music: CCR, Petty, Mellencamp, Stones, Beatles, Clapton, Talking Heads, Cars, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, etc... Oh Linda Ronstadt & Bonnie Rait too...

[pallidmask]

I'm not a beginner and this is still fantastic... More of this please!

[Ranger]

This is a full course on sticking, phrasing.l., ., .a comprehensive exercise for all. I’d have to take each exercize one at a time and repeat like stick control. A well produced video!

[jaakkot]

The music made this the most epic and anthemic warm-up I've ever done. Felt like I was playing in a Christopher Nolan movie!

[classixdrummer]

Always struck by how perfect Emmanuelle’s form and technique are. So clean and balanced. Great warm up.

[evelyntelevision]

I've been playing bass, guitar, and piano for over 15 years, just started picking up drums, and this is the best warmup exercise I've ever seen for any instrument. Perfect set of techniques to practice and a perfect song to play along with. Great work here, everyone!

[DrumGalaxy]

That backing track was a refreshing addition!

[maxedout]

i gotta say, about 3 days ago, i had very little knowledge of drums. i knew the most basic rhythm and maybe a paradiddle at 100 bpm. because ive been practicing like crazy, i can almost play this how its supposed to be played. thank you so much for this video. its amazing.

[jeremyerickson]

Yes please make more of these. These kind of videos are hands down the best practice warmups. Please make more thank you very much for sharing!

[unoffendable]

Learning to play the drums is top of my bucket list. Practicing with music makes a huge difference. I can't wait to get started.

[detlefpostler]

Best and freshest warm-up I've ever come across 👍

[JasonSayersDrums]

This warm up is not only good for beginners, it’s good for all and actually reminds me a bit of the first page of stick control for the snare drummer.

[formenofcolor]

WOW!!! If every rudiment lesson was done to a track like this, my practice would be hours Thank you!!
