Beginners' Drum Stick Technique - Taps
Channel: Drum Lessons with Joe The Drummer
Date: 05/01/2021

In this video I explain taps and how to play them. Get really comfortable with the rebound strokes I explained in my previous videos and then work on the taps. In this video I suggested playing the four exercises I explained previously as taps for two minutes each. If you can play the full strokes and the taps for two minutes each, that's cool. Otherwise, you can do the full strokes for a shorter amount of time while you get used to the taps. 

It's up to you. Also, you can play lots of different sticking patterns to mix it up. You could do worse than to play the first thirteen exercises of Stick Control as full strokes and then as taps. Do that every day. Or for a shorter workout play full strokes on one day and taps the next... 

What's important is to get into a daily routine. If you make it short but you stick to it, you're doing well and you will progress. 

Enjoy.
