This is hilarious. I'm a life long self taught drummer and I've never thought of any lick or chop as a sticking pattern per-se., I've always just done the thing. I do this thing all the time. Now I'm going to be self conscious about it :p
I DID learn sticking patterns, but I more tended to play things the way it felt right to me. It’s would be the same thing musically, just in my own stickings.
I started playing only a snare drum in high school. I learned a great deal about drums from doing that, than playing a set. I can always tell if a drummer spent some time, just playing a snare.
I find most sticking patterns silly. I just DO IT. Like you said up there. I don’t spend any time thinking of sticking patterns. It’s a good thing to learn, but then forget it.
@@stevebeye1585 Just to clarify, the hilarious part is that, you know, this was one of my chops, then to find out it's apparent ubiquity, and watch you break it down was really funny insofar as the reaction it caused in my brain. Not shitting on the notion of pattern based learning.
This is the lick I'm been searching for. I recognised it in your intro playing very fast and never knew what it was. So expertly explained and demonstrated. Thank you. Look forward to checking out your other content!
Monster chops, a great lick, well explained and perfectly demonstrated! I'm starting this one today, and thank you so much for sharing your skills and experience.
Ha! I've recently been working on this and didn't know it was a popular lick. I think I recently seen Viinie Coliuta doing it in a snippet, and I jumped all over it and have been working on it a bunch. Great demonstration here 👍👍
I'm subscribed to about 20 drumming channels and this one just showed up ... Great chop, perfectly broken down and explained and I particularly appreciate how you show it in different style applications. Instant subscribe!!! 🤘😎 And your kit sounds great, audio engineer approved 😉👌
He used it with the Tom on the first note only and descending down the toms. T1, S, s, K, S, S (small ‘s’ is ghost note or the 2nd note of the diddle) So when the pattern is RLLKRL then the first R is on the tom’s descending Try it out. It sounds cool when played speedy
Great stuff, Taylor. Keep it up. Side question...have you heard Todd Sucherman's playing? He's the drummer for Styx and has an arsenal of licks like this in his back pocket. I think you'd get a kick out of his playing, and his left-hand fulcrum is instructive in and of itself, in my humble opinion.
This video is exactly why folks pay for lessons with a capable educator, get a personal trainer in the gym, get a math tutor, a business/life coach and etc.
Lucky # 720 here- excellent drumming technique- thx for sharing this informative demo...Should a 1st year drummer train their ears with Drum mic's as well as natural acoustic drum practice?
Wait a second... is that FPSticks? First he teaches me how to upskill my Pokemon Go PVP battles and now he's teaching me about the drums?! Is there anything this dude can't do?? :D

Yeah man!! Sounds amazing and I actually do not have this combo in my fluid vocabulary, so can't wait to work it in. I think it pairs very will with an Alan Dawson lick I know that goes KKRLRL
I swear the "ÆTHER" is REAL. every time i start practicing sumthing, i find videos of the same idea around the same time. Consciousness is FASCINATING. A N Y W A Y ..... One of my go-to's which sounds really awesome is a 9-note grouping. R L R R L L 'F' R L or u can ADD ANOTHER kick to make a 10-note grouping!!!!!! R L R R L L 'F' 'F' R L try 'em out.....
Chops are simply single and double combos :) opens up a million possibilities if these "licks" are treated as exercises rather than being the music themselves. I would guess the man in the video already knows this. But y'all, this is an exercise, not just a lick. Do it off both hands. Change which partial the downbeat is on. Change the orchestration. Build the CONCEPT into your vocabulary, not the lick :)
@@Mike-sf5cg thank you - I really hope we stop using this word and I am really hoping it doesn’t catch on, it makes no sense. We don’t need another word for patterns and licks, I’m actually going to try to stop this one probably can’t, but trying.
Was originally a double bass sound without a second bass drum. The best is generic. Not funky and intricate. Start simple change to something a little more complicated about two times then end it out with the double bass thing while riding the cymbal.
What im seeing as an old drummer who started before the internet is, this linear only phrasing " gospel " chops thing that young kids are doing, all sounds the same and rarley fits the song but it looks flashy so people eat it up!!!
In order to be an annoying random anonymous internetdude, this is a lick not a chop. Your chops play the lick. Edit: You pretty much consistently call it a lick during the video although the title says chop. My apologies.
i think its because most drummers are afraid of having more than ONE mounted tom.... gotta stick to the beginner kit instead of becoming better & increasing your vocabulary by having a REAL kit.....
I like to say music is like fashion, and the size of drum sets is no exception. Back in my day, you were a slacker if you only had a 5 piece lol. I’m amused that about the 4pc becoming the dominant kit. I’m sure the pendulum will swing back (pun intended:).
What? The Beatles used 1 tom and it's way back in the 60's and 70's, it's not a 5 pieces but 4 pieces. You just don't know what you are talking about. I will tell you why the 4 pieces is always the #1 option. It does need less space, less microphone and most of all less Effort to build before the show, less effort after the show, and less effort to pack the instrument in a car.
I’ve been marching to the beat of my own drum since 1970. I have my influences that are ingrained in my drumming genes, but my joy comes from my creative and original ideas that just flow from me and only me because there are no rules in music. I like putting my spin on things. Most of all I love when someone says I’ve never heard anyone play like that.
very nice! now, instead of making it more complex, you should try to make it as consistent as possible. Try to be 100% on beat. Maybe you could use a metronome to practice:)

I'm here thinking the exact same thing
Nice snare tone.
This is how you progress drumming. Thanks for breaking that down, can’t wait to take it to the kit!
You’re welcome!
Ahhh.. finally a lesson that fits my speed of grasping what is happening, thanx!
Glad to hear it!
I've been playing professionally since the 80s, never come across this one (that I know of). Sounds great, well taught.
Thank you!

Dude…… your drums sound sooooooooooo good. In fact, maybe the best sounding drums I’ve ever heard
Thanks so much!
Perfect application

Thank you for your comment! I’m glad you found the video useful!
Love that snare sound
I’ll be adding this one to my next practice session! Thank you and great lesson! 🎉
Thanks Taylor, a very slick lick, and nicely demonstrated. I’ll be taking that to the kit tomorrow.
Awesome!
Can you please do a snare tuning video? Thank you!
Amazing video!
Thanks!
Crystal clear explanation and demonstration of a great lick! Thank you again! Pete
Thanks!
Se explica muy bien
You know it's not that difficult and sounds cool especially at a faster tempo. I like it!
Exactly!
Where would you play this, and in what songs
it's way to late to play tonight, but I want to try this out right now!
Awesome!
Ha! I've recently been working on this and didn't know it was a popular lick. I think I recently seen Viinie Coliuta doing it in a snippet, and I jumped all over it and have been working on it a bunch. Great demonstration here 👍👍

Beautiful chop! I'll post a groove oriented version on my channel soon! Thank you for the inspiration!
Awesome! I’ll check it out

ooo love this! thanks for sharing, definitely going to practice this and implement it.
Awesome!
Wow! Never thought of this one. But I'm definitely gonna use it now! Tanks Taylor! 🥁❤️🔥
Awesome!
Explained so simply and great sound on the kit. Sub’d, looking forward to checking out more videos
Thank you!
Lol i literally came across Cody Ash using that at a clinic he did. And worked on it the next day hahaha
He used it with the Tom on the first note only and descending down the toms.
T1, S, s, K, S, S (small ‘s’ is ghost note or the 2nd note of the diddle)
So when the pattern is RLLKRL then the first R is on the tom’s descending
Try it out. It sounds cool when played speedy
Great playing and thanks, subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
I love it when a regular looking guy has beautiful technique.
Amazing tutorial, thank you!

A pearl sensitone brass 6” by 14”

Currently using some pure sound equalizer snare wires

I'd say it was a six stroke roll but replace the second right had with a kick.
Most chops are just rudiments with different orchestration
The word "chops" isn't a synonym for "licks". It refers to playing ability or skill.
not entirely true. its linked to advanced licks for sure
Sorry … old guy here (60…playing for over 50 years)… what is a “chop,” used as a noun? A pattern? A lick?
I would say it's both a pattern or a lick, depending on the application. Essentially it's vocabulary.
