today we're going to learn to easy stick
tricks and it's going to be awesome so
let's get started hey everyone my name
is Gabe and I'm from drum beats
online.com today is super exciting
because I'm teaching you how to play to
easy stick tricks stick tricks are a ton
of fun to play when you're trying to be
showy really that's it if you're just
having fun playing drums maybe doing a
cool drum cover people like to see the
stick tricks as long as you can keep a
beat while doing it and that's where the
hard part comes in but um they can be
really visually pleasing and they just
look awesome so I'm going to teach you
two of my favorites that are pretty easy
so let's go over the first one the first
stick trick I want to talk about I call
the toss the reason I call it the toss
is that's literally all you're doing
you're tossing the drumstick up and
catching it so there is a little bit of
technique to this so what you want to do
is you let the stick come with the back
and forward as if the stick is doing a
front flip so you're letting the stick
roll over your front finger so the back
end is going forward and then you let it
go in the air and then you try to catch
it so that's really all there is to it
it's just one spin if you have high
ceilings you can go for multiple spins
but that's really it
and the key there is just keep
practicing tossing your stick up in the
air and catching it and just let it roll
over that first finger it's pretty easy
so now let's move on to the next stick
trick so the second stick trick I want
to talk about is called the spin and the
reason it's called that is it just spins
a circle just like this and this is the
first stick trick I ever learned and
this one
is a little bit more technical but it
looks really really cool so what you do
is you place the stick in between your
pointer finger and your middle finger
and you try to grip it at about 1/4 of
the way up the stick and then what
you're going to do is you're going to
try to initiate the spin by flicking
your wrist forward and letting the stick
come down the tip of the stick is going
to come down and then you want to come
you want to get it to come back up and
you're really just moving your index and
middle finger back and forth like that
to keep that momentum going
so with this the key is just continuing
to practice it it's just going to go
forward and back up you can practice it
just by throwing it down once and having
it come up or maybe twice or three times
and then eventually you'll just be able
to keep it going and that's the hard
part and the tip of the day here is just
practice wherever you can if you're
sitting on the couch watching TV have
some sticks with you and maybe try
spinning it around a little bit or just
throwing it up and down and catching it
you can do this anywhere you don't
really need to be sitting behind drums
unless you feel like you finally have
the stick trick mastered and then you
can try to play the beats while doing
the stick tricks so my question for you
