Man you are one good teacher. Not sure if you realize how well you are teaching compared to a LOT of the other programs out there. Keep up the great work! I am a 63 yo female just learning to play the kit. ( played Bass drum in marching band YEARS ago in Jr High School and I know Bass guitar a little bit. Emphasis on little.) Your vids by far have taught me more than all the others ones I have watched, They are just so to the point with demonstration and explanation that isn't a mile long.
Hi...I'm a 70 year old muso, yes 70....I purchased a Tama Rockstar kit way back but there were no teachers like you around. Just recently I purchased a Donner electronic kit and with your tutorials I am having the time of my life, you are brilliant. By the way have you seen the band The Warnings drummer?I'm off to them next Saturday at the Forum Kentish Town...keep up the good work
The Warning!!!!!...Pau is amazing. We saw them In West Hollywood, Ca at a very small venue front and center with a meet and greet. You will be blown away.
@@denisefreeze thanks for the reply...Im a little old to be doing this but I think they are something special.The Forum is around 1500 people that will probably be made up of mostly mexicans. I'm in the UK.....keep rocking!
My admittedly intermediate beginner level groove improved drastically when I started focusing on laying down a solid pattern on the kick. I was early too focused on hands and ghost notes, etc. Agree about using high hat to hold band together. I have a mate who's an amazing pro guitar/keyboard player. He said what he want's to hear in the monitors is the hat, so he can stay locked w/ the groove.
You capture a lot of baseline and compositional (relatively sophisticated) information here, in understandable terms, in a remarkable five and a half minutes. Yes, there are caveats to add and plenty details to explore, but this little video can help someone getting started to get a grip on why modern drumming works the way it does in a way I have never seen it done before. I am an old goat and I have heard a lot of drum lessons. You have a gift for explaining the art and craft of playing "grooves" in music that is uncommon, in the way it motivates working on the practical craft by couching it in the conceptual terms of the drum function in the art of music. Craft takes priority, so far as it allows us to play what we want to hear, but the considerations of art can help us to grok (a Heinlein-derived term meaning, in this usage, to grasp a set of thoughts and feelings as a cohesive whole by getting a sense of how the set/thing hangs together as what it is) the way these mechanical and timing exercises combine to make a musically viable whole. Anyway, your videos are worth watching even for people who do not drum. Thank you (again) for making them. They make me want to go back to playing a whole kit, which I last did roughly a lifetime ago.
I loved the geeky stuff about Producers. 😄 K produces Low range, Snare provides Mid range, Cymbals n Hats give us the High range that we need, bringing about the Balance. (Yes Anakin, you were Supposed to bring Balance to the Force) 😎
I wonder when it started to be called a groove? It used to just be called a beat. Sure, the beat was the main "pulse" of the music too, but it also meant the thing that's now commonly known as a groove. Groove was more to do with describing the feel of a beat, not the name for the beat itself.
@@love_to_learn_drums I bought an e-kit Yamaha DT-400 10 years ago. I got so busy that I never got a proper start. It is damaged now. So I’m wondering If could play some months before starting the actual drum playing learning.

Yeah, the Warning's drummer is a bad ass. Plus damn good singer.

@barrybarnes5269 when we went, it was mostly ollder gentlemen.....You'll be in good company. I'm a 47 year old female. It was so great. Enjoy
Yes, I’m just starting at 60 and Emma is amazing! She is so helpful and fun.
And I must look up The Warning.

a good grove doesn’t stand out but makes the atmosphere. it almost disappears but when the groove sucks, it’s all the dancers listen for.

I love the way you teach. I'm a beginner and I love seeing this kind of advanced videos just for admiring you. ❤ Thanks 🔥
Such a wonderfully happy and accurate description and demo of the pieces that make up the groove concept. Well done!
"If you want to make people move, back beat and bass drum are King." -ET 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for including the producer tips! Stay groovy.
Wonderful break down! Thanks for sharing!

Super. Schon viel gelernt hier. Weiter so. Klasse.
Another great video! Thanks Emma! Keep them coming! 😉
Absolutely love your drum lessons, and I agree 💯 grooves are really important if you want to be a great drummer.
'Emma Taylor' as seen in the Digital Drumming magazine of May '24 and present at the UK drum show 28 en 29 sept '24 in Liverpool😀
That lots of sense. Thanks for sharing
Such a satisfying video! Thank you answering a question I've been mulling on for a long time! ❤
that's a lot of hard won solid gold knowledge there!
Bass player here, but I like to check out drum vids... Excellent job of explaining this! Very well said

Trying to! They just take longer to make/edit❤️
I like them Both!
Soooooooo good! Thank you, Emma.🙏🏽😊
Awesome video. Thank you.

Overhead camera angles PLEASE
That currently isn't possible in our current setup, but that is something I'd like to at least dabble with in the future. 😅
