I used to love just practicing rudiments all the damn time! I’m lucky if I even practice anything lately! I’ve been so stressed out. I got this killer electronic four piece kit I built. It’s an acoustic electric like the Roland VAD series drums. I use a TD27 module with drum software, EZ drummer 3 and Steven Slate 5.5 Drums. I really need to start practicing a lot more. I’m so rusty right now and I’ve never been rusty my whole life, for the last couple years I just hasn’t been in the mood. Watching your lessons are very good though! People should definitely take your advice!
I'm glad you enjoy my lessons! And remember, the inspiration have to come to you. You can't force yourself to practice, but indeed - you can take small steps back! :) Practicing the drums is supposed to be fun, not feel like a chore.
I’m about to be 50. Ages ago when I was in high school there was a dude named Jeff Russell, after school a few of us would hang out and watch this dude play drums. Idk how or where he learned the stuff he was playing, but it was advanced for sure. I think that’s where I first started to hear subdivisions and the possibilities that come with it. I thank Jeff Russell for inspiring me to play a drum kit. Hope he’s still out there somewhere
Never heard the Blushda. But then again I was old schooled with the 26 rudiments. 40 is the added doubles to the singles in a lot of places. Nice little flavor i will add to my routine.
@@mikelbell5419 it’s played a bit more open to sound “sloppier/fatter” and utilizes accents on the last stroke. It’s what some people refer to as a hybrid rudiment
Awesome and informative lesson as always. Like the way the non accented notes almost disappear which brings out the accented notes. Something I must practise more often.
this is very practical way to improve my practice as a drummer with day job, i can manage my time and know what to practice more according to my needs to play more effectively. i get overwhelmed sometimes with a lot of things to practice.
Hey CJ thanks for the video. It really inspired me to take these 5 rudiments and explore all the different ways I can orchestrate them around the drum set. Keep up the good work👍🥁
Like the video 👍 at the end of the day we drummers who make a living from the skins just play without any thought whatsoever of why or what ! It's just hit stuff wherever it feels right that's why I've loved drumming over 55 years now
O heck C.J, never thought you would take that over the Para diddle diddle or the six stroke roll,but glad I watched it,taught me something were you put the accents,thank you
Loved this video! Thanks for posting. One small suggestion that I think would be a great addition would be when you go to show the sticking pattern played in a groove, say what tempo the groove is being played at. It sounds like the groove where you played the inverted paradiddle was at a tempo quite a bit faster than the last example you gave of it, but I think it would be nice to know what tempo the groove was being played at. Great videos though, keep it up! I always like seeing your content and sharing it with my daughter who also plays! Thanks again!
Great suggestion! I'll keep that in mind for future videos. I usually show several examples in my videos, for example of both 16th notes and 32nd notes :)
Nice job, CJ! Just started my Shell Pack Membership. One request: Please put a title heading on the .pdf so that it matches the video title. This will help me keep track of what notation goes with each video. Thank you!
Hey!! Cheers and welcome to the membership! :D I'll keep that in mind, but I usually do put the title on the PDF. (If you want to you can also download the pdf and re-name it yourself if it suits you). Thanks for the support, buddy!
You are so right. It's good to know all 40. But what's more important is taking a simple rudiment like the paradiddle and go deep with just that one rudimenr. Different tempos. Around the kit. Maybe make the first stroke a 32nd double. Invert that bitch. Take it deep. A lot of musicians have a lot of surface knowledge but not a lot of deep wisdom.
Awesome video Great playing!! As far as knowing all the rudiments... They are really not hard to learn. A lot of rudiments are played the way they sound. The flam rudiments can make for some awesome chops. Anyway great playing my man

Congrats on some very clean and sonically consistent rudimental chops. Have to say though that your notation accents don't match most of what you're playing but that doesn't at all take away from what you are playing. One example of what I'm getting at is your flams. Accented flams are sonically different than a flam. In your playing you are accenting both the grace and primary notes which sonically is at odds with the rest of your accent notation and the difference between the two is they sound completely different. Although I enjoy all the rudiments this is a a very informative video. Thank you.
Nice choices, but for your flam triplet, I prefer to use the swiss army triplet, it's essentially the same, but with an easier sticking imo. (LR R L LR R L or RL L R RL L R, with an upstroke on the second note to prepare for the next accent). Same for the last one :p
I actually only use this one, 'cause it's the one I have. And sometimes I practice on a pillow. If budget is a concern, I've even recommended to people that they can get a cheap mouse pad. They work great as a practice pad on any surface ^^
Dear Swedish Drummer, I would like to hire you for a gig here in far north Queensland. You will need to play the pataflafa, which is incredibly popular here.
I appreciate your lessons so much! My drummer friend showed me the 6 stroke roll yesterday and we watched your video together haha. We're both big fans 😃
Huge question? What if you play by ear and are good at replication without proper teaching? I play beats like this live and I have no idea what I'm doing or what it's called. Great video and thank you for explanations
If you have an ear for replicating and playing it correctly, that's great! But you wanna know WHAT it is you're playing. For example, if you're playing with a group an the MD tells you to play a pattern in sextuplets, half time shuffle and then a 32nd note patter - you wanna know what to do.
I played like that for 20 years... you can get away with it a long time in bands, but someday you may want to hit another level. For everyone that level is different, but I found that reaching it required studying, practice, and outside intervention. In many cases I had to unlearn bad habits...Believe me man- if you have the means, definitely take the lessons and pick up some books- or just stay with CJ's YT lessons!
I am into learing the drums for 8 months now and made good progress and I am proud of what I reached so far…but every single time seeing someone playing those rudiments perfectly I am about to cry and feel like I will never be able to do this. I mean there are a lot of tutorials how to start and what is essential for learing it, like using the rebound combined with fingerstrokes and all that, but it does not work. I have the feeling the stick does not Hit the same spot on the pad and it whirls around to the side and sometimes I also let the stick Fall down and frustrating things like that. What in the world is the right approach to learn it step by step??? Including all these different parts? Holding the sticks, mastering the rebound, get the ghost notes right…any suggestions for videos that take care of all of that? Would be soo thankful
Don’t let videos on social media discourage you. Let them inspire you instead. Every musician you watch and that you find interesting/professional has put years into their craft, so let it take time. It’s all about practicing slowly and gradually take it up a notch. It takes time to learn new things, and you gotta remember that Rome wasn’t built in one day. You can’t rush progress ✊🔥
@@ThatSwedishDrummer I‘ll try…thanks for your words :-) In the meantime I included daily 20 minutes as an approach to only concentrate on sticking patterns for single- and doublestrokes on a pad. Guess this should be the Right thing to start with before going to the classic Rudiments in a few weeks/months. I‘ll find out I guess when it‘s time to venture that
Never "muscle out" rudiments, or any type of drumming. If you hurt while playing, you need to stop and re-evaluate the playing. You should always be relaxed and let the stick do most of the work when playing faster :)
One practice routine that has worked well for me is to play a steady stream of 16th notes where each hand randomly plays either a single stroke or a double stroke. Here is how I practice it: Start with a steady beat of quarter notes on the bass drum and 16th note single strokes alternating between your hands. Then randomly do a double stroke, and now your hand order is reversed compared to the bass drum. Then randomly add more double strokes, and work your way to the point where you play a totally random sequence of single and double strokes. For example R1-L1-R2-L1-R2-L2-R2-L1-R2-L1-R1-L2-R2-L1, etc. The purpose of this exercise is to make your brain comfortable to switch between any combination of single or double strokes at any time. In essence you will eventually have played all the official rudiments, but not in a structured way, but instead in an improvised way. This skill is useful later when you for example play more complicated fills on the toms, because you can pick any single/double sticking combination you want, because they will all feel natural to you.
first off, thanks for this Vid. but what number was that last one, 'Blusdha', on my 40 Rudiments chart ? and are there more than just those 40 ? how many should we all know ?
The is almost the same thing as a Flam Drag, but played a bit more open and utilizes accents on the last stroke. For some, it’s referred to as a hybrid rudiment 😊
So much of what I see here I just "do" without thinking of them as rudiments. I've never studied drumming or been taught properly. I've only learned by ear. And I just "feel" my way around the kit. I don't think I'd be so into drums if I had to "think" of what I have to do (even if it then becomes muscle memory/second nature), instead of just having that feel intuitively.
I totally get what you're saying, and if you feel no need of "knowing" what you're playing - then you're all good! However, personally, I enjoy knowing the actual vocabulary of drumming so I know what to play and when to play it. I don't want to be in a position where i.e a band-leader says "In this section of the song, play paradiddle diddle's as 32nd notes and then go to Swiss Army Triplets around the toms", and I don't know the vocabulary...
Technically you can call it a permutation of the paradiddle diddle, but according to the PAS Rudiment List, there’s no such thing. You can play the six stroke roll straight (marching style), and linear (as sextuplets) 😊
Ive been teaching myself to play with youtube just a quick question, is that a left swiss army triplet that you refer to as a left flam triplet? Some of the terminology can be confusing. Trying not to get bogged down with the terminology but im 44 so im a little dense.
Firstly, huge thanks for the kind words! I’m glad you find my content helpful 😃 Regarding the left flaming triplet: No, the Swiss army triplet is rL L R or lR R L. The left flam is basically the left permutation of the flam accent, which is rL R L.
@@ThatSwedishDrummer til that I've been practicing flam triplets and thought they were Swiss army triplets. 🤣 easy enough of an adjustment though, thanks again.
Fuckkkk the pataflafla…hahah I’m playing 42 yrs and I couldn’t give a shit about it..single stroke roll,double stroke roll.flam,drags and ruffs..in my yrs of playing and teaching…that’s key..but yes I love the press roll..paradiddles and 5 and 6 stroke rolls etc…keep these coming
Focus on mainly the left hand for a while! Try practicing left hand lead when you play rudiments, for every stroke you play with your right hand - double it with your left hand etc.
Love the lesson on principal but for the beginner, the orchestration parts were TOO FAST. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what drums you were even hitting and what part of the rudiment was landing there LOL.
Well, first of all: This is certainly not a beginner drum lesson, this is more towards intermediate/advanced drummers. And second: As soon as you can play something at a slow tempo - try orchestrating it in that tempo around the drums. I gotta leave something to the viewers to do themselves ;)
Ginger Baker who my mind is the greatest drummer the world has ever known said The only rudiment you need to know is the para diddle and you have to know how to do it every way it can be done inside out backwards forwards every way the second …everything that you do with your right hand learn to do it with your left hand and it won’t take very long before you’re totally ambidextrous….

This is the solo that blows my mind.. the best out of all I seen. Out of the Carson shows and yes the impossible drum solo.. was awesome also.
thats nice snare sound ! thanks for the lesson!
Glad you like it!
Awesome and informative lesson as always. Like the way the non accented notes almost disappear which brings out the accented notes.
Something I must practise more often.
Glad you like it 😃🙏
As a newbie I start to notice all the really good drummers move efficiently in that no limb or stick moves any further or higher than it has to.
Indeed. Play smarter, not harder ;)
It's all about preference. As long as you sound good and play in time, there's no "wrong way" of playing drums ^^
These are my 5 favorite rudiments of all time! The combos with these are endless fun!😊
They are! 😃 cheers, bud!
As a drum instructor, this channel is amazing. Your rudiments and explanations are perfect and easy to grasp. So glad I found you! cheers!

Excellent. Suggestion - could you demonstrate in your videos taking it around the kit as part of demonstrating at slower speeds?
I leave that up to the viewer :) I post the stickings and breakdowns, then it's up to the viewer to apply it to their own playing (like a challenge!)

Mostly Wincent!
@@ThatSwedishDrummer never heard of them? Which size?
@@jamesmason1347 it’s a Swedish brand, smaller but they’re growing fast!

5 stroke roll, para diddle, para diddle diddle, flams, pugguhduhs
Aren't the first and last note of the six stroke roll double the length of the rest? What you played was a displaced paraddidle-diddle

Regarding the left flaming triplet: No, the Swiss army triplet is rL L R or lR R L.
The left flam is basically the left permutation of the flam accent, which is rL R L.
@@ThatSwedishDrummer til that I've been practicing flam triplets and thought they were Swiss army triplets. 🤣 easy enough of an adjustment though, thanks again.
Singles will take you really far. When I gig I do like 95% singles. Only use doubles and paradiddles for ride accents.
Nice!
My favorite One Is paradiddle Diddle .i use It in my play very often .
Fuckkkk the pataflafla…hahah I’m playing 42 yrs and I couldn’t give a shit about it..single stroke roll,double stroke roll.flam,drags and ruffs..in my yrs of playing and teaching…that’s key..but yes I love the press roll..paradiddles and 5 and 6 stroke rolls etc…keep these coming
For the inverted paradiddle, are you playing the fill as 32nd notes? thanks for the great video!
yes he is
@@fj3571 thanks. And here I was thinking I had this all worked out and sounding good, playing them as 16th notes. Back to the shed!!
You can play them as both! 32nd notes as a half measure fill works really well as a quick-chop! 🤗
What metronome u b using broskee
I use different ones on my phone (mainly Gap Click), but for my lessons I use the metronome in my DAW (Logic Pro X)
how do I make my left hand fast? 😅😢
Focus on mainly the left hand for a while! Try practicing left hand lead when you play rudiments, for every stroke you play with your right hand - double it with your left hand etc.
❤❤❤
I tried to do a Pataflafla as a fill. It drove me to drink! I'm a resident in an insane hospital now. Shhh. The guards are coming...
😂 I spit out my water laughing at this
I can't even get my feet to hold sticks with this straight jacket on! 😮
How can I hold my stick to be fast enough
Keep a relaxed grip and don't hold the stick too far up or too far down.
Thanks you're the best
Love the lesson on principal but for the beginner, the orchestration parts were TOO FAST. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what drums you were even hitting and what part of the rudiment was landing there LOL.
Well, first of all: This is certainly not a beginner drum lesson, this is more towards intermediate/advanced drummers.
And second: As soon as you can play something at a slow tempo - try orchestrating it in that tempo around the drums.
I gotta leave something to the viewers to do themselves ;)
Ginger Baker who my mind is the greatest drummer the world has ever known said The only rudiment you need to know is the para diddle and you have to know how to do it every way it can be done inside out backwards forwards every way
the second …everything that you do with your right hand learn to do it with your left hand and it won’t take very long before you’re totally ambidextrous….
