There's 13 essential Rudiments and they're all you need to know and Master! ✌️
Thank you so much boss 🎉🙏🙏
Always great to stop by in here you’re fantastic drumming
@@ginogarcia4219 cheers!!🙏
This simple rudimental lesson can lift a drummer's playing to another level. Thanks!
You're very welcome!👊🔥
@@ThatSwedishDrummer It has opened my eyes
Máster, gracias por el valioso contenido. Un abrazo. Porfavor nunca dejes de compartir, me has ayudado mucho. ❤
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.
These are my 5 favorite rudiments of all time! The combos with these are endless fun!😊
They are! 😃 cheers, bud!
100% serious you're a cool dude. lfg, happy new year! i've been looking for some good new rudiment practice just like this. thanks!
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👍🥁
Go for it! And have fun!🤩🙌
As usual great job love you videos and look forward to watching more keep up the good work my friend God bless
As a drum instructor, this channel is amazing. Your rudiments and explanations are perfect and easy to grasp. So glad I found you! cheers!
Awesome, thank you! More videos to come 😃🙌
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 ^^
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
excelente gracias por compartirlo 😄
Great lesson! Thanks for posting.
You're most welcome!! :D
YES! Thanks for this, mate!
Cheers!
Very efficient & well done video! More please , thank you!! 🤩😆
Thank you! More will come 😊
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 😃🙏
What a banger of a video. Thank you for doing this one!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
Rock on!😃✌️
Isn't the "blushda" just a flam drag??
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
Awesome!
Hey Buddy, I hope you are well and Happy New Year to you, thanks for all your vids over the year.. Martin.
Same to you!😃🔥
Just recently started practicing the flam accent and then your video pops up. Perfect timing! Will try these out in my next practice, thanks
Hope you enjoy! Cheers for watching 😃🙌
Great content, easy to follow and fun to play, thanks
So glad you enjoy it! Cheers, bud!
Thank you very much for this video! ❤
You're so welcome!
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.
thats nice snare sound ! thanks for the lesson!
Glad you like it!
Bye the way,your kit is sounding fantastic, all the way around, keep up the good work
Nice choices for your top 5! Personally, I prefer the Flam Accent as utilizes flams on both hands - interesting how all are triplet based 😎
Very educative... thank you so much
My pleasure! I’m glad you like it 😃🔥
Me ha gustado el vídeo y lo,pondré en práctica, muchas gracias. Un saludo
🙌🔥
Sir that was great job ,all of them my favorite too.ممنون
Many thanks!
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!)
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
Wow ... Outstanding
Cheers!
Hi CJ , it’s very cool and interesting thank you very much. Bravo !
Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it 🤗🔥
I love them all!
Cheers! :D
You are the best !!!! Im french and i follow all youre exercices
Merci!
awesome! love your sound too!
Thank you!!
Awesome stuff.
Thanks!
I think the inverted paradiddle is my favorite here. Sounds like proper chops!🤑
Indeed! :D
I have never estimated the power of reversed paradidles. Thanks for the trips I'll be working them more.
You're welcome! Have fun with it :)
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.
Thx this will make me finally push to get into paradidles..
👊🔥
THANKS!!!! tODAY I WILL USE MY DRUMS AND PRACTICE
Nice!
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 :)
Merry x mas, your rather nice
Uncle Mike.
God Jul, Micke!!
AWEESOME!
Nice video CJ ❤
Cheers!! :D
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!
VERY INTERESTING
🙌
I most commonly use the 4, 5, and 6 stroke rolls, hertas, and flams. I also enjoy double paradiddles
Nice!
Never played the Inverted Paradiddle. Ever, got humbled really quick. Put that Metronome on 40. Had trouble understanding the "prep" stoke.
🤟🔥
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
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
Tkank you!!!!!!!!!
You’re welcome!
Very cool
Thanks!
"Bam! Bam! BamBamBam!" BamBam - The Flintstones :D
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.
Cheers! 🔥
How about the herta? My favorite
That's a good one too!
Sir nice rudiments... sir cymbals sounds are good wich model...?
I play Paiste, and I use a different array of series. Masters Thin, Formula 602 ME, Signature Traditionals etc. :)
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 ?
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 😃
That's so fun to hear!! :D
Dude I love watching you play. You are very good!
Glad you enjoy it! I appreciate it bud🤗
❤❤❤
How do I become a member of this channel? I would love to have access to the transcriptions.
Depending on what device you use (usually desktop works best), on the front page of my channel - there should be a "Join" button. There you can join my channel membership :)
Also, if you check the pinned comment on this video - you'll see the link to the channel membership! :)
When you play them faster, do you muscle them out or let them bounce? I struggle with that. If you could give some insight, I’d appreciate it!
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 :)
This guys Swedish is really good
If you think that's good, should hear my English! ;)
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
What even is the question? Just sounds like a statement to me.
@@fj3571 I genuinely didn't mean it like that. And just enrolled in lessons to understand in full spectrum
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 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! 😮
Singles will take you really far. When I gig I do like 95% singles. Only use doubles and paradiddles for ride accents.
Nice!
As usual a great vid,wish you were around 50 years ago,easy to follow and that kit sounds superb many thanks Cliff❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it, Cliff! Thanks a lot 😃
Nice sound and video… what sticks are you using? 👍😊
Mostly Wincent!
@@ThatSwedishDrummer never heard of them? Which size?
@@jamesmason1347 it’s a Swedish brand, smaller but they’re growing fast!
I mostly play 5B or 5BXL. (And their newer line 5B Precision)
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.
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! 🤗
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...
👍👏👏👏
5 stroke roll, para diddle, para diddle diddle, flams, pugguhduhs
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
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 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
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.
According to this rudiments selection, I bet you love Gavin Harrison's style!
Haha guilty as charged!
FLAM ACCENT TRIPLETS ALTERNATE THATS WHAT THE UPSTROKE IS FOR
Yeah, but depending of course how you apply it to the kit - it might not be "suitable" for what you want to play.
Isn't it an inverted Paradiddle-diddle this 6 stroke roll?
Technically you could call in an inverted paradiddle diddle, but you usually don’t have permutations of the Paradiddle diddle.
Still tho - same thing 😊
@@ThatSwedishDrummer Thnak's man! 🙂
Early fam whats up!
Virtual Riot?
Really awesome video! But I think I’d change the title to something like: “my best rudiment fills as a professional drummer”. Because that title gives a good impression of what the video will be, and would also be catchy for drummers, well for me at least.
I know how great your videos are, thats why I clicked on this one, but for unfamiliar people they might think that you’d be talking about the only “real rudiments” you need to learn are the single and double strokes and the paradiddle or something. I think this title doesn’t really showcase what this vnice video is about and might lead to some people, who would otherwise be interested, not clicking on the video.
I might change it in the future, I might now :)
(Right now it's my highest ranking video of my last 10 posted videos, so it's going well!)
@@ThatSwedishDrummerAhh great that the video is doing so well! Your title choice might be the best after all
Agree, in fact any playing on the kit solo, was soulless garbage to me. My practice was always with a guitar playing and "creating" grooves. Never attempted to play any other artist's creation, or even wanted to as well.
I don't have a weaker hand I have a monthly hand 😂
🤣
Wheres the kick lesson? Only the hand. Rudiment without knowing where the kick is?
For the beginner, It's hard for me..😭😢
Yeah this is not exactly a beginner video ^^
You're missing number six: the herta
That’s great too! (But I break down that one in another video🤗)
I thought this was yourunclemeatball
Don't know who that is, but ok 😅
It's ok, Google is becoming popular now finally
My Aunt Bleshda
😆
no,... you only need it
Not really. But they're fun tho!
Are you Swedish
Yup!!
Rudiments are exactly what the name implies. Rudimentary technique. If you wanna skip what the masters refer to as "rudimentary" knowledge.... G'head. LoL.
I’m not saying that you should skip them, but as I say in the video - you seldom use all of them in a professional setting.
Rudiments come from the marching style drum technique, and if you want to be a working session drummer - you’d be wasting your time if you spend time on every single rudiment when you will probably only use 2-3 rudiments in a song.
Dude this is the worst advice you can give a new drummer. "Hey - here's all these things you can learn about your craft - make sure to ignore a bunch of them."
Guitar Teacher: "Don't learn the entire fretboard."
Racing Driver: "The brakes throttle and steering each have only two states or positions."
You’re taking this way out of context.
If you strive for becoming a drum corps drummer or old school jazz drummer - absolutely, fine. Work on all rudiments.
But you should also check out Dave Elitch’s post on IG about this very topic.
Rudiments are all good and fun, but they’re not necessary in modern drumming. Just play the music.
I certainly don’t “think in rudiments” when I play - and if I don’t benefit from playing triple ratamacue’s and pataflafla’s… why should I practice them?
@@ThatSwedishDrummer You play more rudiments than I think you realize when you're moving around the kit - and there are more rudiments than you think. The fact that you even made a drumming video assumes we all want to be the best drummer possible. Literally deliberately leaving fundamental knowledge on the table is a ridiculous notion.
@@cameronmcpherson6364 of course I play rudiments, but I’m just saying you don’t need to spend time on all of them.
I’m not saying “don’t practice rudiments”.
bad title. How about all the good things you can do with only a few rudiments. Pairing down language to make a click bait title is a disservice to new drummers who read words and may take them to heart. Otherwise. Sound video. Bad title.
It's not click bait at all. I'm only going through the rudiments I favor and use the most, and if someone would take a video-title completely to heart - you obviously don't know how UA-cam works.
Plus, the title is true. You CAN practice all the rudiments, but you certainly don't NEED to.
If you're a drum set-drummer and wants to play for a living, then focusing on all the 40 rudiments will be a waste of time and resources, when instead you should focus on sound, timing, versatility and networking.
Actually if you practice and learn these 4, everything else is just a combination of them:
Flams, Singles, Doubles, and Drags.
Just some nit-picky shit:
Paradiddles DO NOT HAVE ACCENTS
6 stroke roll is not just sextuplets as you're only showing 1 way to play them
left flam triplet is just a non-alternating flam accent.
Also you're showing your personal orchestration of these rudiments.
No rudiments originally have accents. This is about phrasing your rudiments and playing around with them. And of course it's my personal orchestration. It's my channel.
It's the viewer's job to take it and apply it to their drumming.
I'm confused? "Swedish" implies Swiss Rudimental training where both it and PASIC rudimental drumming has accented rudiments. The traditional notation for all flavors of paradiddles are accented on the first stroke with the exception of the inverted paradiddle but it's not a rudiment. Granted students are graded on being able to play the rudiments unaccented from p to pppp but that's about stick and stroke control.
Aaron, learning those 4 rudiments alone is not going to help you with pharsing the possibilities. But why bother with any rudiments? Considering what your thinking all you really need is the whole note through the 16th note singles. That will cover everything too.
@@dnczardnczar did you just confuse Sweden with Switzerland? 😅
LOL! Yes I did! My apologies for such an awkward error.
I also meant to add in my original posting an acknowledgement of your kit tuning. You have your kit sounding really good. Particularly what got my attention was the consistent tuning from tom to tom. I'm surprised by how many drummers here on You Tube have good sounding drums individually but as a kit the tuning doesn't work. I assume you have put some time in to marching with the quads? If you haven't already you might want to consider putting a video out on you head choices and tuning. Steve Jordan has often talked about work very good drummers have missed out on because of tuning. Chops aren't everything.
