      Same, I'm twice the drummer I was because of Rob's channel, the doubles play along, the hip hop feel vid, the flow play along... their like taking your vitamins. I've started playing the first one of these exercises at 0.75 speed leading with my weak hand, it's a monster to tame but when you switch back to strong hand leading it's soooooo much easier. My goal is to eventually play through both of these weak hand leading

    I have become an addict to watching your lessons videos. You are not only a legend drummer but a great tutor Rob. You ll have the blessings of millions around the world who are picking up drumming watching your videos. This morning I played along double strokes for 20 Minutes. I have now come to office and watching your single stroke lessons which I ll practice at home in the evening.

    I was appalled at how hard I found this, so I reduced the tempo to 90 then increased by 10 every 5 mins and VIOLA, started to fly. Thanks Rob for a simple yet effective practice.

      Total beginner here. I wanted to do this exercise but of course it was way out of reach. Your comment prompted me to slow it down to 0.5x ... and boom! Perfect for me. Thanks!

    I am a beginner and doing singles on practise pad a lot.
    You said that speed does not mather in this exercise.
    But I think there is a lot of speed to be gained here.
    I have a singles exercise spanning 8th, 16th and 32th notes on 60 bpm.
    But the accelaration between 16th and 32nd notes is 100%, not really fair,
    while between 16th and 16th-triplets is 50%.
    That's why I love your exercise... the accelaration is do-able;
    easier to crank up the bpm next round... using the 16th to tweak consistency and economy of motion,
    and the 16th-triplet to accelerate and keep it up/clean.
    Reason number two of loving this exercise is that it gets me on the grid of even en uneven notes per beat.
    There is a lot of content in this exercise.
    Thank you Rob!
    Love ya man!

Every day many times a day and I can see I will be there NO TIME FLAT!! I Mostly LOVE that you are in this to create a new wave of great drumming and not the FAME! It shows how much you truly love our community! AMEN Brother! Thank you for everything! You will go down as one of the greats! I will help to make sure of that any way I can! The only DR.

    They say that you really have something on lock, autopilot, when you can have a conversation and execute what you are playing at the same time. It's great to see someone as talented as yourself show these kind of weaknesses. It shows us that despite how good we become on this instrument, there is always something to work on and keep fine tuned. You definitely have some of the more real lessons on UA-cam.

    Hi Beatdown; FYI, I’m a professional, non-professional drummer, hobbyist drummer who has just wanted to improve my skills. Watched several clinic videos and the elite Pros lose me really quick. Did lots of exercises with questionable rewards.
    You’ve helped me out with practical suggestions for improvements like no other. Thanks!

    Thank you, BeatDown! This exercise is awesome and even after doing it for a few times, I already noticed a difference. I've been doing an endurance pack. Both exercises, each 5 minutes right and then 5 min left lead. And then on the kit. Trying to put the accents as cymbal crashes. Not easy (at least for me).. You have made this drummer's playing much much much more solid, Rob. Thank you... Plus live BPM and Moises have been a game changer, as well. Love you brother, God bless 💙

  • @nickdfx2208
    @nickdfx2208 5 років тому +1

    Rob, thanks a bunch for all of your videos. This one plus another you have on singles for speed are exactly what I need right now. I recently joined and old 80s punk band friends of mine from my teens. At 50, i feel I still shred pretty hard but the quickness of my youth has faded a bit. Mostly because Ive been playing alot more R&B in recent years as my old hardcore bands have disbanded or moved away. First few jams with the new group were great but i would reach for quick single 16ths across the kit and found they just weren’t there for me as easily anymore. I love all of your videos but these two in particular are just what the old dog needed to get back in shape. Thanks again! Youre the best!

    @Spretzjnjikhow 5 років тому +3

    These guided workouts are great. For instance, every now and then, when you mention loose hands, I will sort of snap out of the nearly meditative state exercises like this gets me into and realise that hey, there's some tension there, and then release it. Had I been doing this alone with just a click I don't think it would have been nearly as effective. It is also surprising how much more fun it becomes when the click is an actual beat, rather than *click-clack-clack-clack-click-clack-clack-clack*.

    Here’s one I came up with that’s really fun: 4-6-8-doubles - you play the first three sequences, then play the third one again, only playing doubles instead of single strokes. Start out at an easy tempo (70 or 75 bpm) for 10 minutes, and then increase the tempo daily.
