    MIND-BLOWINGLY Simple Drum Exercise (MASSIVE Gains)
    You all have asked and so I will be posting some DEEP DIVE drum lessons over the next couple of months. All about taking small drum ideas, working them out on the drums, and then expanding the licks, fills, and drum beats that we create with those simple drum patterns. This particular drum exercise has really helped me with moving around the drum set, thinking over the barline, and expanding my ideas of what a drum beat can be by just playing around with some rules.

      I am a person who learns by sight (I can read drum notation) and it’s so much easier! I really liked this, or any lesson on the drums, from an overhead shot rather than not being able to see the drum, cymbal,…that is hit!!!

  • @joseph-ow1hf

    Great exercise, but as a former professional commercial photographer (30 years in the biz) I want to compliment you on you lighting setup. You are one of the few (if any) UA-camrs doing music lessons who use backlighting and directional front lighting. All of which make everything more dimensional and visually interesting. Like the lit wall too. Well done sir!

    • @StephenTaylorDrums
      @StephenTaylorDrums  2 роки тому +47

      Seriously, thank you for that compliment. We moved into this new space a few months back and I spent quite a bit of time trying to learn how to light the room. I'm glad we're doing a few things right with it

    • @joseph-ow1hf
      @joseph-ow1hf 2 роки тому +4

      ​@@danisaacsacayanan4726 Was Brandon the lighting designer? If so.....hats off for a job well done. Camera work and the editing is first rate too. Went back and rewatched and noticed a slider camera move on a front shot. Really nice! People have no idea how much work it takes to make this all look easy.

    Just listened to your podcast about drumming not being 'hard' but rather just unfamiliar. This video fits right with that! There's nothing 'hard' going on, it's just complex/unfamiliar :) sounds amazing.

    @momoaux3673 4 місяці тому +4

    It's like learning to drive a car. When you approach a junction for the first time, you feel very uncomfortable with all the things you have to do and check before turning. But if you do it again and again, it becomes easy. This is a very good practice routine for me. Thank you very much for that.

  • @baljhass75

    I like this...thanks Stephen!!! I've been playing since I was 5 and I'm now 56 and I get caught up repeating the same old patterns and I get bored with playing; so instead of playing everyday, I'll play 3-4 times a week. Something clicked with this video and I can't wait to get home and work on this exercise. I like the ghost notes...I struggle with that, when I mix everything up, around the kit. My mind goes back to my single stroke habit. Thanks again...GOD Bless!!!

    Stephen a great lesson. You set this up simple at first then added complexity. Two voices I can get but even with the first groove moving to three voices is tough for me. But as you say the benefits are nice if you go deep with a more simple start. Who knew eighth notes could be so much fun. Cheers.
