Great video, I've just started playing. It appears I have been trying to do this the hard way. I let it bounce more or less properly when I'm playing fast, but just play harder when I'm slower to get the same effect. Instead of letting the stick bounce I'm doing all the work. Can't wait to try this on my drums. Thanks.

Even though I am a wooden kick beater, half-time hi-hat, tom-thumping, rim-shot neanderthal, this is good stuff. When I practice something like this and it starts to make me feel nauseous, I know I am making progress and it will definitely help me with my ghost notes and perhaps that very occasional dazzling jazzy fill I like to throw in, both of which most people seem to ignore anyway. I guess I will need to set up a bucket next to my snare drum. Thank you!

during his 16th note at 60 bpm example, it doesnt appear feasible to even out the dynamics of the three hits following his initial strike. I am very new to drumming and have been practicing double strokes with rebound. I am learning that to have even volume on the rebound stroke of the double, you snap the stick back down with your fingers. So, Is even volume 16ths possible with this technique? or can it only be accented? does anyone know? Cheers everyone!

Certainly an informative vid and quite applicable if you're drumming on a single surface, i.e. rudimental or concert snare dtumming. However, the technique doesn't work once you start moving around the kit. Leigh Howard Stevens's Method of Movement (actually written for marimba but is so well adapted to drum set), is a much better adapted technique for motion and movement around the drum kit. Moeller has its place but has its limits as well.

I've always thought that the upstroke was caused by the downward stroke (rebounding of the stick striking the pad.) This explanation/video shows that I've had it backwards which is why I never spent much time on it. At least the videos I've watched in the past explained it that way. Basically that you start with the hand/stick striking down first causing the rebound to "lift" the stick and repeat. Of course, I could just be an idiot and interpreted it way wrong. This is great! Thank you for posting, I think I might have actually learned this FINALLY!!

As you went through your 'upper body anatomy checklist', I think I may have finally discovered why I'm having difficulties with drumming... I don't appear to have these things you referred to as "elbows". I just have one 3.5 foot long bone between my shoulders and hands, with none of those so-called "hinges" in between! Lol. Just kidding. Seriously though, not having elbows would actually give me a more justifiable excuse for not getting my bounces down with consistency and timing....

First of all, loved the video and explanation of Moeller. Thanks for the information! I had a question though about the grip. Is there a difference in control by having the pivotal rotation at the middle finger vs. the pointer finger? My lesson teacher in college always had me use the pointer for the rotation point and I've been playing that way ever since. I studied more of a classical route, so would Moeller be applied more for a drum set grip these days, or did I just learn a different approach? Thanks in advance for the input!
@thinktank8389

Many including myself defaulted to Moeller method by nature. Soon after 32,s one must kinda flick wrist, articulating point turns into extra hit. It's what happens by naturally speeding up. Control gets little lost. And try taking the band out by using forfingwt

I have a question that a lot of you can probably answer. I'm a guitarist, and I understand perfect pitch. I don't have it, but I understand it. I'm wondering if there are drummers who have . . . I don' t know what you'd call it - maybe "perfect pacing." Meaning, can some drummers know exactly how fast a given beat is? Like if I told a drummer to play a basic 4/4 beat at 155 beats per minute - could some drummers go right into that at exactly that pace and be right on or very close to a metronome at 155 bpm? Maybe every good drummer can, I don't know. That's why I'm asking you. I appreciate any answers you guys can give me.
