An older video of Thomas Pridgen talking about how to develop speed.
One of my favorite things to do is turn on the metronome and play single strokes with each limb or whatever rudiment I’m working on at varying speeds and just totally trance out and play until those muscles can’t go anymore. It’s really meditative for me and a great way to build speed quickly. If you’re just getting into this, make sure you focus intensely on your technique. Try to understand the mechanics of each stroke and how to do it most efficiently and strive to perfect that, no matter how slow you have to start.
Practice makes perfect Perfect practice makes perfect
