50 plus years of playing around but your never to old to learn from Beatdown Brown!
Yep! He's the best drummer in town! (Bars)
Nice video, as always Rob. 👌🏻😉
If I may add my 2 cents on this, it is very useful to add a fourth section in this practice. Just mix the 3 exercices, then, add the god of drummers : Silence! Introduce silence in some subdivisions of the fill. Very often THE underestimate component of music… Silence make subsequent sounds good.
So:
1) sticking
2) Bass drum
3) Unisson
4) Silence
❤❤❤
Great advice Takelow!🥁❤

I like it this week too😂
Coming back to drums at 54 and loving it. But.... so blinded by all this info on UA-cam. Until I found Beatdown, this guy is just so great to listen to. He's been so heplful for an 'OK' drummer like me to raise my game.
Thanks man, keep up the good work.
LKKL KLRK. I've never used that fill. I'll be messin' with that for hrs
To do the fills I always warm up with stick control and start with a very slow tempo until I get confortable, then progressively start increasing the tempo and making a variation around the drums 🎉
I love your approach. I think this aids in 'playing the song' vs. memorizing 'fills' by rote.. Listening to what we do vs. following dots on a page.
I am a drummer of many years. Took my first lesson when I was seven years old. I am now 46.
But I am always a student.
And beat down Rob Brown , is easily the absolute best instructor out there on the Internet. Hands-down.
Cheers 👊🏼
This is all so cool to me. I don't mind simple, it's just the best.
I’m 51 and just started learning a few weeks ago. I have been watching heaps of videos to help me start out and man, nobody is even close to how easy and relaxed you make it. I don’t even bother looking for new UA-camrs since I discovered your channel. Thanks for the lessons and being so chill that it’s enjoyable to the last second.
And he's a cool guy too. I've been playing since 1976 and I'm on board with "you can learn something new every day.."
That kit is just A+ gorgeous.
Great video as always!!
As always great lesson. Thanks Rob
Thanks from Spain
Good lesson! Very helpful
Thanks a bunch, Beatdown! 👍🏻
Another great video Rob I like the idea of using left hand to do two beats on the toms ,you stuff awakens me again.
Fab teaching you make it interesting,are you coming to the UKwould love a session masterclass ,as a drummer of over 40yrs,we can still learn.
Cheers.
Thank you again Rob🎵💕
Awesome!!! Thanks!
Such good advice again Rob, love listening to the way you teach
Thanks for the great lesson.
☮️🙏🥁🎵
Awesome lesson Beatdown! This goes so much further than just learning a specific fill.🥁🥁❤
This is great stuff, it really opened up my eyes to all the cool stuff I can be doing on what seems to be a simple fill.
You are a great teacher 🎉
Thanks!
I love the way you teach and the way you play. I’ve had a kit for years and play it every once in a while. Now I’m trying to get more serious about it and even playing at my church. I still don’t know how to read music though.
Thanks for everything.
God Bless
i will surely do this! thanks for the tip Rob. Your channel is really helpful for us starting or even professional drummers. Respect
Thank you challenging us to THINK differently!! I’ve heard it said that wherever you go in life ; you go HEADFIRST!!! Greatly appreciate this lesson and challenge!!!! 4ever Grateful!!
Thanks. Very useful and helpful information.
Such a simple and clever way to approach fills. So many things to build on with this video. This along with the five funk groves is all a most timekeepers will ever need.
Yo I appreciate you bro! Real chill, to the point, and effective 👍🏾
I'm just starting out, I was having trouble when to do drum fills. This video helped me out a lot! I'll definitely check out more of your videos, good job man!
Stick to it dude it’s so much fun
You're a great teacher Rob.
That's a lot of insight you have to give ✌️
Thanks!
Haven’t caught up for a while Rob and this is a great way back to your stuff‼️Sometimes YT algorithms suck. Thanks✌️🌻
it's an excellent lesson with much value on the placement of the notes and the resulting efficiency and attitude of playinig the kit skillfully. Thanks - it set up some thoughts I was having about trying to get rid of too many notes , aka overplaying - and that can be subjective but I want less notes this lesson brings that into focus for me, - even though you are playing through it.. it's the idea you are presenting so clearly.
Thank you for the video
Great lesson Rob!! Although I'm not a drummer, I use to try something similar when I'm arraging songs for my band! Congrats man!!!!!
Nice, thanks for sharing.
I love this approach! I’m definitely going to use this concept with my students. It’s an endless idea fountain that’ll get them thinking about different sounds, dynamics, and flow. Well done!
Exactly. Thas the idea 👊🏽🤓
Hey thanks Rob.
Thank you brother
Really a good way to look at it and I found it helpful and inspirational as all good teaching should be.THANK YOU !
You’re welcome 👊🏽
Good video Rob
Thanks Rob. As with so much about drumming, a lot of it is in the head. I reckon you need to 'hear' it before you play it.
It’s ALL in the head before it hits the hands 👍🏽
Thank you bro this is perfect
Have fun with this one 🤘🏽
I liked the fills with two strokes on the bass drum, very cool.
yeah man. very clear too
Awesome ! Gotta work on that unisson 💪🤓
A lotta people forget about them unisons 👌🏽
L(FF)L(F)LR(F) @4:35 is exactly the kind of fill that i was looking for. Awesome. Love the joke about being here just cause your cool... I used to have a fill that i started with my low (18") floor tom, kind of backwards too for another interesting approach to creating fills. but i was looking for this video for creating more fills using the BD. THANKS!! I need major help getting my doubles to bounce under control, see i need to turn my 16's to 32's and want to play 64ths but my doubles and singles can't seem to cross the speed threshold where i am at. It is a matter of technique or form that i just do wrong.
Nice 👍
Rob, it's hard to tell on the camera angle but are you doing rim shots with each snare hit?
Mr Beatdown Brown!
Você é ótimo. Obrigada
Love your videos! Where were you in 1978 when my dumass teenage self first picked up a pair of sticks? 😁 Your cymbals sound beautiful - what are they? Keep up the good work! Respect , M
Very cool. I also like the way Rob's tom's sound.
it's strong yet buttery at the same time. I think he also plays a Yamaha kit which are really nice
Me too 😍
I incorporate a lot of hats in my fills. When I first heard Dave Lombardo do it decades ago I was hooked. Specifically it was in Slayer -Spill the blood. The fill right around the 3:12 mark when he comes in over the melody with a fill then a beat. The fill that he does on there is the reason I started playing drums. It's creative and just sounds beautiful. Check it out. Rob, you keep me wanting to play. Thank you.
I love the way they recorded those Def Jam Slayer LPs in terms of Drums. It was very skillfull and complimented him greatly. They really make the hi-hats sparkle in the mix and that thunderous bass they got out.. not clicky bass... and of course the tom work and sound is perfect for that style of music but it transcends that to me even. Not a fan of the themes of slayer but appreciate that mid 80s sound they acheived - their first LP on banzai is very good too.. it's just not mixed as well. I am biased never fan of clicky bass. Reminds me of the Bruford kick sound when he was using those horrible synth drums with King Crimson.
What kit and finish is this? Looks amazing
I can recommend removing all toms and try to play fills then. And then slowly add one tom after another
LOL ! " ...standard, 'Government-Issue-fill'.. " :D Love it :D
My man.
Closing remarks reminded me of these other RB gems:
"There's two types of people in this world: guys who practice their rudiments and suckas."
"Playing fast on the toms is like tap dancing on a water bed."
"You can buy top of the line electronic drums, but they're still gonna feel like you're tickling a mannequin."
Do you have any recommendations for learning double strokes faster? I watched a video of a guy teaching a special technique but can’t figure out how to do it
The process of learning doubles is pretty simple and there’s no point rushin it. Repetition fixes everything. Learn the form first, do it a few thousand times in a row, then work your speed up. It’ll take however long it takes. There’s a couple videos on doubles on the channel 🤘🏽
What is that snare?
what mixer is that you're using, and is that also your computer interface, or do you use a different device for your DAW?
search his videos he actually did a full video about all the gear.
It’s a ZOOM L12 Livetrak
Hey Rob, I'm not sure how dumb a question this is, but I gotta ask: Do you know what fill you're going to play before you play it? Or do you just move into the fill and see comes out? Thank you for all your guidance
I mean, I do and I don’t. In cases of ‘set up’ fills where I’m wanting to head into or out of a specific section a certain way, yeah. I’ll be thinking a couple bars ahead before I play it. Like in pool when you’re setting up your next shot while taking your current one. Other cases, you’re just drawing from your vocabulary while you’re in the moment and you don’t really have to think about it much before you play it. Much like you’d have no problem responding or adding to a conversation with somebody over a coffee. That’s the main reason why we’re constantly expanding our musical vocabulary.
@@RobBeatdownBrown I'll start by thanking you for taking the time to respond Rob, I can only imagine you're a busy man, and what a great answer! Your metaphor made perfect sense, and like so many times from watching your videos, you open up this whole new level of comprehension that takes me to the next level. From unlocking reggae with the spang -a-lang to my wife's 5 pound kettle bell on the heads I'm tuning, your videos have taken me from an old Gen Xer who hasn't played since punk bands in the 80's, to a new appreciation for the instrument and a constant source of growth and joy. Your videos have been life changing Rob, so from a fellow Canadian I say thank you!
As a matter of interest, what’s the snare..?
That’s a Yamaha 14x6.5 aluminum Weckl signature 🔥
Throw some flams and ghost notes!
Anything and everything 👍🏽
💙👊😎
What about triplets?
Probably too advanced for beginners.
audix d-vice?
Yep
@@RobBeatdownBrown ❤
Advanced or not...we do think you're cool Rob!
Remember, y’all. Be a drummer, not a sucka
Hi Rob brown I have questions do you ever play drums in white people church I not try to be racist but I went to know because I fix to play drums at white people and I get nervous because I never play drums in white people church before I play drums at black people drums before so I just wondering how to get rid of your nervous if you play drum in a different church because black people church and white Peoples Church of different beats
first
