Thanks for watching my video. If you liked it then share it around. Happy drumming!
😂 rudiments made me. My parents bought me a practice pad and I was doing rudiments for a year. And then when I got the kit it was a whole new world.
That's a great way to learn man! I came to understand the importance and helpfulness of the rudiments a lot later in my drumming life!
I’m in that same situation I don’t have a kit yet, did your speed and overall skill on the pad translate well once you stared playing on the kit?
Wicked.
Absolutely! Especially when you work with a softer practice pad
Glad you liked it Simone
As soon as you said "Drumming is dynamics" I hit that subscribe button
Welcome in mate! Glad you subbed
This is the best lesson ever on the basic rudiments. You gave us so many valuable stuffs for just one simple lesson. Really appreciate your efforts put into this!
My pleasure!
I like your idea of daily practise - so long as it is thoughtful. One of my music teachers said "The old saying 'Practice Makes Perfect' is not quite true. 'Practise makes PERMANENT' is true. Practice as slow as it takes to not practise wrong notes or techniques". Thanks for the instructions. For these rudiments I will practise this way, slowly at first.
100% agree. Take it slow and youll learn it faster
Purfect camera angle! Really shows the hands doing the work.
Thanks 👊
Love it
Been drumming since I was 8 (23 now), self taught, and i like to think I’m decent. For the last two years I’ve mainly practiced Rush and have gotten, again, decent at about 10 of their songs. But it’s finally made me realize the importance of rudiments and how much of a better drummer I could be if I had practiced them at a young age. Also my left hand still struggles playing a fast finger technique. Well, no better time than the present, practice pad just came in let’s get it! Thank you for the video 🙌🏽
Hi mate, doesn't matter when you get there but your playing will be transformed when you work on rudiments.
I have a free course all about building your weak hand if you wanna grab that too. www.davemajormusic.com/weakhand
Reach out if you need any extra help 👊
@@DaveMajor Appreciate that Dave!
I bet you’re more than decent if you’ve been playing that long! 21 myself and my left hand also struggled to keep up with the right, any tips?
Amazing video! Thanks I need this

@@DaveMajor killer editing too. You may need to do a video on just that.
Ur so amazing
😍😇 may God bless u
Excellent lesson - been playing for close to 50 yrs but always learning - especially via rudiments - thank you!
You are welcome
So nice rudiments
Thanks 👊
Great video! Wow I'm just discovering your channel. Great exercises, production & camera work btw!
Awesome! Thank you!
Nice video.
Thanks!
I like all these however mostly right hand lead rudiments? My favorites are the left hand leads from the back beat. Pocket chops so to speak.. Also mixing more odd note groupings will ad a lot of spice to a drummers vocabulary! Happy drumming!
Good call!
Good shit… thanks!!
Nice video
Thanks
Thx. Would love to hear a click especially on the flam exercise going from duple to triple.
Noted!
Hi Dave,
I really love your videos, they definitely made me a better musician and I was able to learn so much more about this wonderful instrument! There is just one question left, I can’t stop thinking about. I have been playing for over 10 years with a great teacher. He taught me everything about feel and the basics of this form of art. I’m very thankful for that and I really think, this is one of the most important aspects at all. He’s the perfect teacher for younger children, but hasn’t been able to teach me something significant for quite a few years now. So since I became interested in jazz, I had to learn everything by myself. I really don't want to beat around the bush: I'm having trouble with my technique. I can play all kinds of rudiments that have to do with single strokes, but when it comes to rudiments that include double- or triple strokes, I’m not sure what technique to use. Should I rely on bounce? When I do that, the clarity of what I’m playing gets lost, I can’t get clean slower notes with this technique, because gravity is pulling down my stick after a certain amount of time and when I play faster, I often end up in a kind of shuffle, even if I want to get even notes as an result. Am I supposed to use push pull or Moeller for all double- / triple notes on one hand in rudiments? Am I supposed to do it with the muscles of my wrist or fingers? What is the way to go? And what is the best way to learn and train it? I want to spend my whole summer holiday practicing rudiments to expand my vocabulary and have more playing options on the drums. That’s why it is so important to me and I would be so thankful, if you could help me figuring out this fundamental step!
Thank you so much and have a nice day!

HI mate, I'm so glad you have found my vids useful. Email me and we can start the convo there. tbh there's so many potential bottlenecks and problems that a YT comment wouldnt do it justice! my email is dave@davemajormusic.com

Hi Dave, thanks for this very helpful video. I downloaded the free PDF and found a mistake in #2 - RRR instead of RRL. May be you'd like to update this. All the best!
Good spot mate! Ill have to fix that
Is there a rudiment that's really good for getting equal volume? I've been playing for years but feel like my left hand is hitting harder, and crushing on my doubles
Hi mate! So best might actually be a hand builder vs a rudiment. I have loads on my instagram or a few courses on my website which can help you with that. Failing that fire me an email! dave@davemajormusic.com
thankyou dave major
You are very welcome
Single stroke Moeller technique is great for developing speed
Agreed
I've been practicing paradiddles for a while going from flam a diddle through to triple paradiddle Ive got it at 75 but I really would like to be able to get it close to 100, I don't know how long it'll take
Keep working and you'll get there.
Did you get it
Thanks dave...I do it on and off I have increased my relaxed tempo upto 80bpm...also today I managed the open close Doubles...not to any tempo roughly 40 bpm probably but I was intentionally and directly with no wobbly strokes doing the open close on both hands :) I enjoy watching these videos and save a lot of the Instagram posts....one thing I like doing is 4/3 between kick and hats and the regular paradiddle it definitely puts the focus on the left hand side because of the 3 count
💙💚💛💜
paradiddle exercise is played easier when you accent the A of the paradiddle using RllR sticking
Its not about being easier though. If we only did easy things we would never improve. I would suggest exploring all accent possibilities with all rudiments
He did a stick click at 2:59
...na und ??? Cheers
do not have a sheet, iit's really difficult to be able to use the left or right hand in the lesson
6 stroke roll you show notated as straight and then you play them in triplets,,,confusing
