Listen to this man and learn, folks. Beatdown Brown isn't messing around, he's genuinely trying to help us. Much love to you and yours Rob
Absolutely! His videos have helped me tremendously practice and prepare for live gigs!
I practice regularly!
Triple drag flap jack changed my life tho bro , no cap fr fr

You taught us ‘why’ we should practice rudiments- this is key to effective teaching.
Your humour in delivery is BOSS. Thanks, keep ‘em comin’ 🤟🏾🤟🏾
Rob, when I first started drumming back in 1980, I had an instructor who had me go through the two classic books, told me to learn the rudiments, had me buy a metronome. Thing is, I didn't understand the value of rudiments; it was over my head. He had he explained to me that rudiments are the a, b, c's of the drumming language, then demonstrated how to move them around the kit, a light bulb would have gone off in my head. I took years off from drumming but only in the last few years have I discovered, joyfully, the importance of the rudiments in order to express ourselves on the kit! It's never too late. Thank you for this video lesson.
I started playing drums at 10 and learned basic rudiments at that time. Sadly I was not taught how rudiments are applied and so I did little with them for years. Then, a few years ago I decided to revisit rudiments and began working with the paradiddle. I learned and practiced every permutation of the paradiddle and spent hours just playing paradiddles on practice pads, on my snare, on my kit, on my lap, on my dashboard in the car, on my bed while watching tv for months. In doing so I improved so many of my general drumming skills including my doubles, my timing, my subdivisions of beats, my fluidity, and general drum speed. In addition, it opened the door to many other avenues so I started to work on the 6-stroke roll next and began to practice it as I had the paradiddles. This process became like walking into an auditorium with many different doors to choose from all of which lead to more auditoriums filled with more doors to explore. More importantly, it has led me to a process of exploring and refining dum skills that have improved my drumming more in a few years than I had in the preceding decades.
Now, rudiment practice is a regular part of my drum practice and I never fail to see improvements in my drumming as a result. This old dog not only learned this new thing but it has made me a new drummer as a result and has greatly increased my enjoyment of drumming which is icing on the cake! :-)
Once again thank you Rob for another great lesson! ps. Flamuel L Jackson
😀😄I had a similar experience! Didn't 'get it' til I reached my late 50's but that's ok. I am having so much fun practicing nowadays! Enjoy!
Shared your UA-cam with my 17 yr old son…I said “I like this guy!’ He texted back…"Yeah I like him too!” He'd already found ya!
Hahaha. Thas awesome 👊🏽
The pacing of your teaching would normally be enough for someone like me to be easily distracted, but you have a way of keeping your audience engaged in your pace. Appreciate the help!
Mr. Brown is my teacher. Just just started looking into drums. Shoot I bought sticks and I'm on a bucket and a computer mouse pad. Soon I will get an affordable kit. Thank you sir.
Gotta start somewhere, man👌🏽
Don't quit, brother.. keep that same energy!
Humble beginnings can go a long way
No joke, I started 40+ years ago with a pair of sticks and a bunch of hardback books arranged on the top of my dresser. Follow your passion and do what you can with what you've got!
Mouse mat, now that is a great idea.
I’ve been drumming at my church for a few years and just listening to a few of your videos. I know I’m gonna make that breakthrough to the next level that has been very difficult. Thank you, brother.
OMG, you're cracking me up...
So many jokes..flamadoodle, Ramen noodle. Flamuel IIL Jackson. As always an inspiration.
Thanks Rob, you literally just made my whole day?
The development of mechanics is THE EXPLANATION for the exercises. As Prof Brown just said.. u do this and suddenly something else u were struggling on... just becomes easy and sensibly simple (if there is such a usage). So Amen to Prof Rob Brown again
Rob this is spot on.. Jr. High instructor broke it down with a similar rational, Building the hand Mechanics and muscle memory means so much. One thing I didn't realize it really helped, writing and transcribing. Your percussive vocab is like any language, the more words and phrase you know the better you can express what you're trying to say or figure out what's being said.
Thanks for the 411 on every video. I'm 54yrs old. Only been at this 3yrs and I love the drums. The Gaddiments book by Steve Gadd you recommended. Awesome 👍
Wise words. It took me a while to realise how your facilities improve subconsciously through understanding rudiments. There is a tendency at times by instructors to make rudiments intimidating. The key is to respect them, without fearing them.
cool stuff like paradiddles can be good for fills too (do a paradiddle with right hand on floor tom and left hand on snare)
Yes, it’s not really about the pattern itself. It’s about the technique and the mechanics required to play it. Rudiments are basically all the possible techniques available to the drummer. And it’s it’s also the drummers vocabulary, the more words you know, the more you can say. But, before all that, it’s important to start with what many consider the “Real Rudiments” and the most important: the 4 main strokes. Which is the Full Stroke, Down Stroke, Up Stoke, Tap Stroke. One good routine would be to focus on 4 or 5 rudiments instead of 26, and just work with one rudiment from each of the rudiment families. Practice just one from the Single stroke family then one from the double strokes family, one from the paradiddle family, one from the flam family and then maybe work on your buzz roll. You don’t have to practice ever rudiment under the sun. Just practice the ones you think you might need. A mechanic or construction worker don’t have ever tool. They just have what they need to do the job. Dug the video, Rob👍
Rudiments are our scales. They train us to learn the way we use our instrument to make music. Once we've learned how to make music with our instrument, we can apply the scales creatively to make even more music
What book did you get that from lol
@@sneakapeak40 Hahaha
Fluid Fills Follow From Fundamental Fluency
Nice flam combination! I love practicing flam rudiments, because the flam is a ghost note and an accent hitting at (approximately) the same time. That's a skill that totally translates to the kit. It helps with controlling internal dynamics, and is essential for funk drumming (as well as many other genres).
I started as a rudimental snare drummer at the age of 9. I learned all 26 rudiments and solos on the Arsenault record. I first heard Billy Cobham on my 11th birthday and figured his parts out right away as well as other drum parts. it opens up your mind.
Once again Rob, you are right on the money with this lesson. I, too, have found how useful various rudiments and other sticking patterns can help you fly around the drums without thinking about it. And I love your new moniker: "Flamuel L. Jackson". Keep up the great work!
Just recently got myself a 12" pad and returning to the rudiments. The need for building mechanics is evident to me as I play and find my mind is clear with what I want to do, but the body doesn't always cooperate...this is what I intend to change. Thanks Rob! Always great stuff here!!
Love how informative you are 💯🥁
I am literally binge watching so many of your beginner and basics videos right now as I’m only two weeks into teaching myself drums and I want to squash any bad habits before they start. I had not even considered rudiments but the next thing I buy is a practice pad. Your lessons and the way you deliver them are 100% engaging.
👽 Hey Rob, The Marcian from Puerto Rico here; just starting drummin''and just like you say maybe the rudiments won't be "actually played" but I noticed that when tackling new lessons the learning curve is flattening cause my hands are starting to glide with less effort; thanks bro...
Nice, man 👌🏽
Great lesson/points. Thanks for inspiring and lifting us up!
Always in point and useful! Thank you so much as always Rob!
Man, that helps! It’s not about the rudiment!! How many times I thought: ah forget it, I will never get this rudiment down. Turns out I don’t have to 😎
But seriously dude, playing rudiments hours for the TV? Do you live alone? My family will kick me out if I do that while they are watching TV 😂😂
A folded Yamaha hand towel on top of the pad and a killer soundbar on the TV 🤫👌🏽
Another invaluable tip of wisdom Rob. Great appreciation for you my man.
Thanks a bunch Rob! This video is another gem - great lesson! 👍👍
Always love your stuff Rob!
I'm only saying this because I'd love your input and YES I can handle it. I DO NOT have a fragile ego. I'm a noob, but a passionate one. I've been making drum videos almost since I began and post them on here. I'm taking a shot by asking but I'd love ANY reply or input. If you can't...it's ok, I totally understand. I'll always be a student of yours.
Your comments were on fire in this video! You're absolutely right as well. WORK THOSE HANDS!
Thanks! Such a great way to look at rudiments. Appreciate all of the great advice!
Very helpful information here. Cheers, Rob! ✌️🥁
This is such an important point that's often overlooked. Thanks for covering this, and that's an absolutely wicked looking snare!
great lesson, thanks Rob..I enjoy your vid's and learn from them. Will practice this now and often
Thanx man. Lookin forward to all your up coming stuff
Thanks for the great advice Rob, I definitely need to practice my rudiments more and you made it a lot more relevant for me!
right on brother its about the mechanics and muscle memory. IF you practice your rudiments, you will have much greater flexibility AND creativity on your set as you will execute ideas from your head to your hands seamlessly.
Thank you for the inspiration,Rob!
There's a lot of truth to that. I'm primarily a marching percussionist myself, but as I've been getting into set percussion I've noticed how a lot of the skills I use in my rudimental practice will translate over to the drum kit, especially when it comes to technique and maintaining a good quality of sound. Thanks for bringing this up, Rob. Really good point that not a lot of people take into consideration.
Now go practice your rudiments. 😉😊
You are GREAT!
Great breakdown and insight into the usefulness of learning rudiments!
Love your soul man. ❤️ Thank you for the videos! 🙏
I watch from time to time and always enjoy. 😁
Great advice brother.
That is the reason! I couldn't agree more. Great lesson again!
Thanks for another great lesson, Flammuel! My drumming skills continue to improve because of your guidance, brother.
Thanks a lot for the insight. Very much appreciated.
Rob I love your tips . Keep us smiling ..
Love that !
If you really want to get not just a mechanical workout but also a mental workout might I suggest Jim Chapin's idea of expanding & collapsing rudiments or my favorite thing to do which is inverting, rearranging & moving the accent around.
For example, try accenting the first diddle in a paradiddle. Warning, it's gonna twist your mind a bit and make you feel like you never played a paradiddle before.
I also like playing them on the kit between hands & feet. Then combine rudiments to make interesting fills. Prolly the quickest & easiest way to come up w. new & fun fills to play and amaze your bandmates with! You can ever make up your own rudiments like the Flam-tap-a-diddle and struggle to gain control of your hands as the flail around like they're not attached to the rest of your body.
This all good stuff because you're learning new patterns and new complex mechanical movements that require focus unlike practicing all the other rudiments you maybe have practiced for years.
Nice to see you again..!
“and Suckas” “Triple Drag Flapjack” Word Rob! You crack me up! 😂 I’m about your age - started playing in ‘72. He’s right you young drummers - Pay attention!
GL stones book and syncopation by Ted reed showed up today. The trick is to not get overwhelmed you don’t need to “master” all the rudiments. My plan is to get my singles, doubles, paradiddles and six strokes really solid while developing a good Moeller stroke. Oh how I wish I got a pad back when I started as a kid! And how I wish web 2 had the same amount of guidance and know how as it does today. I’m just picking up the sticks again at 30 after basically quitting for ten years and it feels like I’m starting from square one.
Thank you so much Sir
Agreed. Love Carter Buford's creative use of the 5 stroke roll.
Yo, this guy is rad. Practice till you get it right. Once you get it right, practice until you get it wrong.
I spend 6- 8 hours a week on rudiments and I mean all of them rolls .double strokes flams paradiddles and accents..its really fulfilling
Really good video, and the explanation of why we should practice rudiments. I'm looking foward to watching some more vids Famuel. I need these vids to keep me inspired, and motivated. Thanks
Good video, thanks !
@5:50 the example is beautiful - love that laid back / complex groove and feel.
Fantastic ⚙️🎼
OH Rob, I've been studying with your videos for years and you got me with this one. I LEARNED with the rudiments. I'm a professional musician, 67 years young and I'm back to my rudiments!!!! Thanks for reminding me! Thank you.
Rob, invaluable tips as always dude! Saying which, when you played those rudiments on the drums its a great groove that I can relate to, though I get bored doin it on practice pad. 😢Thankyou brother! 🙏🏽
Thank you for the great tips, youre talented!
Always follow your lead my friend. Thanks Rob. Your pal and Ill always give it a go till I get it..
Just Wow! Thanks a lot for this video. I’m one of those who don’t practices the rudiments and now I understood why I can’t do much of things in the kit. Thank you again! More videos please.
Rudiments are immensely helpful around the kit. I really just use them for snare/hihat fills because the drags and buzzes sound nice on them.
Excellent, excellent advice!
You have opened my eyes thank you
Preach, brother! Preach!
I have a new student who didn't see the value of RLRL. This did the trick. Thank you!
THANKS FOR THE TIPS IT'S ALWAYS TO GET NEW WAYS TO PRACTICE!!! RIGHT ON ON THE FLIP SIDE !!!! BROTHA !!! GOD LOVE
Rudiments vid. Spot on!
Love you Rob!
Nice and respectable greetings from Argentina, Rob. Good video!
Rudiments, Groove, Interaction. You get to it all. Excellent work again!
I am a believer in learning and practicing the rudiments and your explanation is absolutely on point . THANKS !
Knew about the importance of practicing rudiments before but still was not paying enough attention to this advice. Thank you for the reminder!
That was funny Rob🤣. great stuff and yes they are important!
The only thing I would offer as a better alternative to rudiments is Gary Chaffee's books. They cover a lot more than the rudiments, and the layout is a hell of a lot easier to get an intuition on. And to be real, if they were good enough for Vinnie...
Gary's stickings are set up with a number/letter system. Numbers tell you how many notes, and letters tell you how many singles in the front. So A stickings have one single, B have two, etc. Then you pair that with a number. 5A has one single and two doubles. 5C has three singles one double. From there you can layer over whatever modifiers, flams or inversions or even nested subdivisions.
Beats the pants off of a triple drag flap jack :)
Thanks Mr. Beatdown. You have taught me so much! Great drummer, but an even better man.
What a cool exercise! ❤️🙏
100 percent right! Listen, learn and just do it!
Great advice! Favorite rudiments so far: five-stroke roll followed by seven-stroke roll. It's total Zen.
Thanks!
The feel and sound are mind blowing
Love that shirt!
U are an excellent teacher...very good advice
I dont practice those much, but I know that I should. I needed the pressure.
Tytyty so much this is a life saver😊😊😊😊
Always good lessons Flamuel is a ledge
Just brilliant brother...
That was great a eye opener to better player and stick control too!
Ta Rob, o skhokho, You are the boss. Thanks for sharing this information. Very enlightening and now I am going to take on those rudiments that I have ignored thinking their not important.
Right on!
BEAT DOWN BROWN ALWAYS LUVIN U!
Love the channel, no BS.. find it easy to stay disciplined in my practice when I follow your exercises! 😊🥁🙏
Hi Rob, I'm 71 and agree completely, I think maybe years back teachers had a rigid approach which may have put people off, The teacher is a big factor. Here's an observation ....over lockdown I worked on my hands like mad, ...a lot faster now, point being I could not have done that in the 100 metres at 71! Thanks for all your advice jv
Hey Beatdown…..i do practice my rudement daily….with some of your instructions while practicing i eventually noticed my mechanics came across the kits…seemed easier to go around the kit as well …thanks as always ….
