Band piano and keyboardist here. A good drummer is worth his or her weight in gold!! I really enjoyed your lesson. Believe it or not, much of your underlying concepts are applicable to piano as well. Thanks!!
As an old guy getting back into drumming - but now with more emphasis on bluegrass/country music, this has been very helpful. Compared to the Pop/Rock hit music I played 'back in the day' this genre demands much more consistency and even-handed playing. New challenges - gotta lovie it.
Stanton, you are the MAN. You have been at the top of my list for awhile now, and for a reason. Thanks so much for sharing your talents! Cant wait for Garage a Trios in Seattle!!
I particularly love that last sticking. the right hand drives it and acts like grace notes leading to the backbeat left hand, and the grace note after the backbeat leads to the kick drum. Thanks for great tools Stanton!
Stanton seen you so many times over the years the years and man this is such a gift your giving is fellow drummers. I love this lesson. More importantly I will be loving your go this weekend at the Brooklyn Bowl!! Can’t wait as usual !
Hey Stanton, it was so cool to have you teach us this lesson in person at SONO #9 this past week. God Bless You, your family, and your Mom this Christmas Season. Pat from Pa!
If you can play a waltz, shuffle, back beat, swing beat, 2/4, 6/8... And a train beat, you can play most any gig. I struggle with song forms, like ending on vamps, or stops/breaks... Hopefully your bass player knows and can give you a nod when. Always look up when. You play, especially with new a new band. There is a lot of visual cues. Hope this helps Love Stanton!!
Hi Stanton, I’ve been playing 50 years and I struggled with this beat years back don’t really know why it was just one of those beats I had to really try and work at but I got there in the end. Great instruction man thanks and merry Christmas to you and your family 👍
Let me add to the discussion if I may. A lot of the times I will do a train beat by playing a double stroke: r r L l, the accent being on the first left and the second left being ghosted. Every now and then I will throw in an accent on the second right and the first left: r r L l, r r L l, r r L l, r R L l. Not sure where I got that from, but I think I wanted to approach the train beat without single strokes all the time. It's a nice flow when you get it going. Great stuff as usual, Stanton.
Great video , I wish I wasn't so worried about being judged but that's why you do what you do and I do what I do :) You're getting there, you're still stick muting over some of your ghosts. You're still a little too tense with the right, just relax it a little and let it happen brother, don't stifle it.
Good stuff as always. I can tell you that up here in Fayetteville, AR in the kind of musical environments I find myself in, this stuff is a must have. I also just jive with your styles, but this is really useful stuff out on gigs.
Great stuff Stanton. I like to use single paradiddles too. They give a nice swing to this type of beat. If I'm feeling ambitious, I'll throw in some quick double paradiddles as triplets but not good for fast tempo unless well practiced. Keep rockin.
So, the only occassion where I've ever really played one of these - is when I'm enjoying a guilty pleasure of some 80s hair metal and jamming Kick Start my Heart. But I've always played it: RRRR L like that, essentially a basic rock beat but fully on the Snare - really allows me to hit that accent hard.
I don’t know…..when we start with a favorite song, just listening and not playing yet, then start vocalizing/singing the percussive parts that our limbs want to do, the hits sound like language, The rhythm of our speech is in there, prosody - one syllable per stroke - and so the result is more musical than what results from counting numbers. I’m starting to learn/create drum patterns, fills, and licks by assigning phrases to them Now they are a lot easier to memorize By subtly accenting different words, the hits comes alive, and the player has control over the fine-tuning of that phrase. “THAT guitar is RIGHT in Tune” A seven stroke roll, accents on one and five, diminished accent on seven / so you say it as you play it, and put the accents in different places, in random places like Christopher Walken does. Larnell Lewis sounds, to me, like he’s talking.

I’m trying to reply to your comment -?made a mistake somehow. So - if I play one or two sentences from my favorite books, written in five different languages, and they all said the same thing, would they sound different on the drums?
Stanton, could I suggest another “intervention” that should increase the musicality of the drums? At least it might. (And it recently got real easy to do.)

@@stantonmooremusic 👊
Very nice. I’d love one of those Gretsch kits in the background
I play a few different train beats but these were very cool to watch and learn!
Daughters of Glory by The Black Sorrows instantly reminded me of this beat.
I really enjoy your tutorials Stanton.
Thank you sir.
Thank you
Fantastic , Thank you.

Love Stanton!!
You can tell he was feeling that
Very nice teaching unit, great thing also with the Flam Tap as a train pattern ... I'll try it
Thanks very much

Nice! I like that variation Paul! 👊🏼
Wow! Did not know you had a channel, Stanton. So happy I found it. You’re playing with Galactic is legendary! This is some gold right here.
Thank you for the kind words. 🙏🏼
Brilliant Lesson !! Super precise drumming...clean as !! 🏴🇺🇸🥁🔥👏👍😳

Thank you for saying that Nathan. Hearing things like what you just said inspires me to keep creating more useful content for y’all!! 🙏🏼

That works too! 👊🏼
Another great lesson!! All these variations are so cool and practical... Especially the one with the JV sticking is awesome!! Yes indeed!!! ✌🏻😎✌🏻🥁🎶🍻❤️
Thanks Malaka! 🙏🏼🥁👊🏼

Like Christopher Walken talking! I love that. 👊🏼 I’m going to try to play some fills that sound like that tonight!
Snare Drum sounds great, which one is it?

Do u open the hi hat on the right hand w the kit drum or alternating - that’s where I get confused
Let me know at which minute marking so I can give you the clearest answer. Thanks!
I’m trying to reply to your comment -?made a mistake somehow.

Interesting to think about! 🤔
Great lesson! The snare sounds amazing what is it?
That’s an acacia version of my Spirit of New Orleans snare 👊🏼
Stanton, could I suggest another “intervention” that should increase the musicality of the drums? At least it might. (And it recently got real easy to do.)
Sure, what is it?
