#fastdrumming

Fellow drummers....yes I am a drummer too. For 33 years to be precise. Answer the question of WHY so fast and so many notes. That’s fine and all but if you can’t hold the groove down, does it really matter?! It seems like that is all I see on drumming channels anymore. Just fast and a lot of notes.

1200BPM Single Strokes! An update on my progress. I've been trying to break the world record for fast single strokes which currently stands at 1208 notes in 60 seconds. As you can see, this is the absolute end of my ability and it's not exactly comfortable or accurate. But, since reaching this speed for the first time a few months ago, it's starting to become comfortable at last! The metronome is set to 300BPM and I'm playing 16th notes over it. 300 x 4 = 1200! I'm going to wait until I can confidently and comfortably break the record before I make an official attempt. It's not going to happen over night and I haven't exactly had as much time to work on this as I would like. But it's certainly sharpened up my technique in the meantime! #drums #singlestrokes #singlestrokeroll #worldsfastestdrummer #wfd #fastsinglestrokes #fastdrumming #speeddrumming

1200BPM Single Strokes! I've been trying to break the world record for fast single strokes which currently stands at 1208 notes in 60 seconds. As you can see, this is the absolute end of my ability and it's not exactly comfortable or accurate. But this is the first time I've even been able to touch the record and I'm finding my previous milestone feels more comfortable now too! The metronome is set to 300BPM and I'm playing 16th notes over it. 300 x 4 = 1200! I'm going to wait until I can confidently and comfortably break the record before I make an official attempt.

Paradiddles at 280BPM! #drums #drumpractice #drumprogress #paradiddle #paradiddles #fastdrumming

Some of you may have seen my post on Tuesday about reaching a new milestone of 1120BPM in my quest to break the world record for fast single strokes! (The record currently stands at 1208BPM) As you can see, 1120 is at the very limit of my technique at the moment and I wouldn't exactly call it comfortable haha! However, reaching this new milestone has certainly made playing at 1000 much more comfortable. Just need to get comfortable with 1120 and I'll hopefully reach my next target of 1160. I'm counting it by playing 16th notes with the metronome and multiplying the metronome speed by 4 to get the total BPM. eg. 280×4=1120. The exercise I'm playing at the start is called "8 on a Hand" and you can find a transcription on my website. #worldsfastestdrummer #wfd #fastdrummer #fastdrumming #singlestrokes #1120bpm #worldrecord #fastsinglestrokes #drumtechnique
