Video Summary
AI GeneratedThis video serves as a review for a beginner drumming class, focusing on the correct technique for striking the pad and executing \"drops.\" The instructor emphasizes the importance of keeping the stick down after a hit rather than lifting it, preparing students for upcoming lessons on \"strike and tap\" patterns.
What's going on everybody this is for my beginner class. This is what we went over last week. I want
to make sure you guys understand. I know this video is a little late. I know class is tomorrow
but better late than never. All right so remember last week we started with the stick up and when
we hit the drum our stick stayed down and it stopped right there. Come in a little closer
cameraman. Come on you're there. You're gonna stop right there. Remember when we strike the pad
we hit the pad and our stick stays right here and then to go to the next tap we just drop
down. All right so only thing you need to do um I just ate some zesty so I'm still burping. All
right so hit the pad here and down. Drop the stick. Do not do this. Hit and then when it's
time to do a tap you do this again. Nope. Remember you hit drop hit drop hit drop. So tomorrow we'll
probably do something similar like S and tap S and tap S and tap but you gotta be able to drop
that stick. Practice it slow. See y'all tomorrow. Peace.
