There is a debate between plumbers as to whether draining is necessary at all, but if I drained mine I woulld use the drained water to water plants or some other use rather than draining out to the street. Great video for those wanting to do this.

Well I did this thinking it was a good preventive measure...well !.....old adage...."if it ain't broke...don't fix it !! This stands soooo true. After doing this procedure, I lost even more pressure on the hot water side. Spent days watching videos and reading but to no avail. Finally, just looking and studying the hot water heater tank, I looked at something odd...the outlet was 3/4 going to 1/2 line to the house. After wrestling with the fitting, I got it apart and there was the problem ! I disturbed the sediment and when I turned the water back on, the hot water side picked up the loose sediment and plugged my outlet side of the HWH. I cleaned it up...and every thing is fine now. PS, you might want to add that in your video.

I just bought and installed a new water heater to replace one that was working fine (electric) because it was leaking. I had plenty of flow with the old heater but only a trickle with the new heater. I hooked the water inlet supply directly to the outlet to the faucets (bypassing the heater) and had plenty of flow proving that my plumbing was OK, I was refused a replacement water heater and only offered parts to try for a fix. KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS??? SOMETHING WAS LEFT INSIDE THE NEW HEATER THAT PLUGGED THE OUTLET FOR THE HOT WATER. I was just left on my own!!!!

Did this fix your pressure issue?

So this is a preventative measure to help with sediment going through the lines to faucets or appliances. Actually fixing the issue would require you to remove the screen filters at the faucet or appliances to clear out the restriction.
