Hey I love your videos! Thanks so much for covering one of my favorite snare breaks! I was wondering in the future you could cover demonic thesis by the 2018 cadets line. They're a super underrated line who had a really hard book that year. Take a look if you're interested.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

maybe, I will take a look for future videos

[@yorkie74]

Yes yes yes. Great vid man

[@FreestyleRudiments]

[@RetroCarbon]

[@amorebrewer36]

Would you be able to break down Martian Mambo played by the old SCV lines? I could send sheets if needed

[@diegocruz9]

Finally

[@FreestyleRudiments]

worth the wait?

[@ThatQuadDrummer]

Hey can you make a video explaining how to play rhythms for example something with a number then a colon then another number? (Example a fivetuplet with 5:3 over it or something)

[@FreestyleRudiments]

yea I will look at that in future.

[@ThatQuadDrummer]

@@FreestyleRudiments thanks!

[@freshbeans]

the part I struggle with the most is the single-stroke rolls and the quadruplet. Im just not fast enough

[@Ayayayyayayay]

[@tomford7979]

[@DrBicsta]

After the release of the roll, rest on 2, quarters on 3 and 1 of the next bar. Love the vids!
