I've never had lessons. I wish i had though. I'm learning rudiments 10 years later. I discovered I'm terrible at all of them. I"m going back to square one. Including holding sticks and applying rudiments. I'm trying to break 10 years of bad habits.
Same! Its a great thing.
Amrit Mehta Same here lol, I’m learning so I can play some chops.
They are a pain in the butt and take time to learn.. :(
In the exact same spot!!! It's working...haha starting to get my 5 stroke and doubles together. Don't know why i waited. Think id convinced myself I couldn't do it.
Aaron Pixler ditto
Every drummer should watch this video, changed my playing massively
As a guitarist of many years, ive recently taken up learning how to play drums, and find your channel to be a wealth of incredible information. Many thanks!!!!!!!
Rob. Seriously. Best drum lessons on the internet PERIOD. Legend. I just ordered a Maximum Thumpification tee. If anyone sees me wearing it out and about and calls me out on it being your merch... it'll be the best day ever. I APPRECIATE YOU, GUY!
Thank you for sharing man I’m starting I only got a drum pad and for now that’s all I need
Awesome lesson! My humble advice for rudiments is maybe try practicing them with the weak hand lead. Been doing exactly that since the start of 2018, and trust me, everything feels so much easier to play! Actually it's not that tricky at all, dare I say 80% effort for that is mental! :)
Thanks for the advice
@@ejfleeks612 likewise
Flam Drags!! They helped me immeasurably. If you get them clean, they can really spice up your fills.
Secondly, you can play triplets in 3 sets of four, accenting different notes on each set. I dont know if that would properly be called a "grid," but it would look like:
Rlr Lrl Rlr Lrl
rLr lRl rLr lRl
rlR lrL rlR lrL (back to top without missing a beat)
Also do that in paradiddles
Thxs for this suggestion
anything thing my drum teacher at uni taught me was going through loops of the different stickings for triplets like
rll rll rll rll
rlr lrl rlr lrl
lrl rlr lrl rlr
llr llr llr llr
and whatever other permutations you can think of, maybe throwing in some kick as well to get some bonham triplets working in smoothly
Play guitar bass mandolin violin piano for 25 years almost.. last month I decided to finally get serious and correctly learn some drums. This is a great channel.
Thanks for the great tips. Love the vids keep up the good work.
Thank you Rob! Very important to know this 🙏🏼
Your videos are incredibly helpful man..thanks a lot!
Thanks for putting a more musical twist on every lesson and making em all far more interesting natural and fun to do. When the starving artist in me gets the chance I will be throwing you some support on patreon I do not wanna see these tools disappear!
Obrigado homem,sucesso.
Great vids Rob. You have a good way of giving drummers easy practices. You explain and break them down very well. Nice job!
What an awesome concept man!!!
Thanks for the lesson. Tons of great stuff in ever single video. You're an excellent teacher.
Happy new year Rob!🎉🍻 Nice to see you back. Hope you had a great holiday 😜
Awesome Video maaan! Very helpful.
Beatdown has got to be the best alias for a drummer I’ve ever heard of. That being said I appreciate you taking the time to teach some of these skills, it has improved my playing dramatically.
You are absolutely right Rob!
I never thought to approach practicing rudiments this way. Definitely will do it from now on. The pad can sometimes trick you into hitting harder than you ought to and this ruins you style on the drums. Thank you very much for this tip, Rob.
Rob, is the dude! Love him & his approach to drum techniques!
Great vids. Really appreciate all you are doing. God Bless.
Thanks for this video man. Great stuff!!
Thank you Rob for sharing your knowledge. I'm a studio owner and am working on my chops for sessions where the artist doesn't have a band, your videos are so succinct and to the point, it's really helping a lot. Thanks again.
The intro!, ....really dude! This guy is just to cool with great material ! Thanks as always! Blessings
As always, such good advice. Hands and dynamics are both so important. I greatly appreciate the communicative gift you have.
One open hand exercise I enjoy lately is eliminating the kick. HiHat can be used.
Drum on Mr. Rob!
Happy new year, dude!
Awesome lesson! Thanks for this...I have always played ghost notes a bit too loud, but I am going to work on this.
MAN I love this. Great video.
Rob is the real deal!
Happy New Year my friend!
I'm excited about these hand focused videos, uncle Rob!
Can I like this video more than once? Uncle Robbie?
Thank you Mr Brown!
Good rudiment advice, very practical
Thanks and looking forward to the new year. My goal is my left hand. I want and need it to be as strong as my right.
Thanks, Rob !
Awesome tips🤘🏻🥁
Excellent advice. No one else brings this old rudimentary thing up . No taps rough chops !
Such great advice thanks Godbless
Hi Rob! It s so great to hear that since once I had a lesson with K Washington and he told me exactly the same thing! Much improvement on articulation and sound!!! Learning a lot from these videos! Looking forward to the next one
Awesome. Thanks for checkin’ em out 🙂👊🏽
good job rob !!
nice thanks Rob!
You got the best teaching videos out there.. Hope to see para diddle diddles soon. maybe on the kit and snare both hands leading
Awesome, thx Bro!
beautiful kit love yamahas
I haven't had a kit for four years now. I think i've gotten every possible sound and volume I can out of my practice pad. It's still fun to practice the hell out of rudiments. I'm still working on that double stroke substitution you did in another video.
I never had lessons thank you for your videos
Great! I'm into it
Knows how too keep it entertaining! My favorite drum teacher on UA-cam. I'm trying to play like he does with least amount of energy and max output.. I'm 57. I'm trying to make all movements. Smooth and drop the sticks on the head of the drum cleanly without any sideways movement . I'm a contractor and this actually helps me hammer in nails into concrete in that if you don't hit the nail. Perfectly square it will go off sideways and just chip the concrete and then you gotta start over. It scan be very frustrating and. Takes a steady hand . Ask any carpet installer about the trouble hammering concrete nails into cheap. Flakey concrete.. cheers goose guys and rock the eff out! Yes haw Elmer effers
Amazing!! Didn’t event image this was possible :)
Hey Bob
I appreciate all your information. I also like how you talk to us, student.
Beautiful !
Helpful advice as usual! Easy to forget just how soft those ghost notes should be.
Rob, love what you’re doing here. I practice rudiments on the kit a lot and would love it if you would brake down what you are doing on the kit to practice the rudiments you’re perfecting on the pad. Thanks and looking forward to lessons in 2018!
This is a great video! I will be practicing this tonight. Thanks!
Tonight, tomorrow night, and all year! 😉
Hey Rob, I pretty sure this channel is gonna be the best drum channel on UA-cam HANDS DOWN😉. I can't wait to see where this new year leads. RobBrownOnDrums 👊
"And that's why you subscribed to this channel".
Exactly. Thanks!!
Thanks man!
Actually been using that ghost note techique keeping very low and accents high ,interesting concept with a really good sound difference,as usual you were dead on the mark Rob
Thank u Mr Brown 👍
I have to say I been watching these for about a month or so. All I can say is wow. Very well explained, very well thought out. And very well executed!! There are myriads of teaching tools and teachers out there however you speak slow enough where I can watch listen and partake of the exercises all I can say is thank you sir. By the way I’m sure on one of these videos so tell the folks here your cymbal sizes and makes and models. I have not seen that yet. But they sound awesome! Thanks again for your cool teaching your smooth like Luke cage on Netflix!! Haha. Just messing.
Damn! That Yamaha set looks awesome!
I Love you Channel bro!
hi rob, glad you talk about practicing the rudes. Great Job. I was wondering about traditional grip since I've been working on it since I'm a matched grip player. I watched your vid on trad. grip, but wondering if you could demonstrate rim shots with traditional grip.
Yes, yes, yes. It is all about the hands. Great advice and exercise. Reminiscent of David Garibaldi’s three level sound concept from “Future Sounds,” and we all know how killers his ghost strokes are with Tower of Power. Stick control is key kids, work those hands.
Happy New Year Rob! Hope you realize how much you help and inspire average drummers like myself. I'm always working towards becoming above-average and your vids always have great tips and guidelines.
Hey thanks, man. Glad the videos are helping 👊🏽 🙂 🇨🇦
Excellent first video Rob👍 I've been working hard on my ghost notes lately and this could be a great way to improve it. Greetings from Mexico
Wuddup, Mexico 🇲🇽 Shout out from Canada 🇨🇦 🙂🤘🏽
Always appreciate your content man, such an underrated channel!
Happy New Year BeatDown welcome back brother. Thanks for the influence 1st off. I have my UV1 heads and the emad floor tom head is on the way. Me and brother are both ordering Paiste 900's this year. Thank you thank you for everything musically.
Duuuuuuude. Are you aware that Evans just introduced a new lineup of UV1 kick heads? 😮 Thanks for watching, man 👊🏽 🙂
Rob Brown do a review on the main! 😜🥁👌🏽
Let me know how the emad floor Tom sounds. I was looking at getting one of them....
Thanks dude! Very helpful. Defintely havent been doing that hahaha . WORK time
Don't know if this is pointless to say, but I must. Your setup looks sooooooooooo good.
cool....Accents and Rebounds.......George Stone has a book on this kind of thing......its a must ......watch Joe Morello solos with Dave Brubeck for ultimate inspiration on this stuff. Great job!
Man, you're Yoda on the drums!
Wow, you are the man, 'the hands man'! ....... Drumming Yoda for sure! Love it
missed you too rob!
Thank you.
oooh.....a cool thing i learned from Steve Gadd....is to play the paradiddle and displace the accent....from the 1st note as you should......to the 2nd......then the 3rd....then the 4th......back to the 1st note...........very melodic
Rob I stumbled accross your channel and a week later I bought a set. If u see this comment let me know how I did. I got a sonor force 2007 birch 5 piece with 3 200 series boom stands and the 200series hi hAt. Kit came with zildjian zht cymbals ( I know they aren't the best) but I got all that for $450 the kit looks brand new, not a mark on it. Thanks for your response and for making videos
Rob, glad I found your channel. Newbie here, my kit I’m getting for Christmas is a Roland V drums kit as acoustic is not an option for me.
I’ve self taught on guitar and keyboard since retiring from military and now I want to include drums.
Is it ok to practice rudiments on the kit itself, just the snare?
Wifey gonna get angry if I have to buy something else😂
hi thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.i had a request ,can you let me know the 5 most important rudiments for hands and feet..God bless you
Damn you are a musical drummer :) Love it! Every video gives motivation to try that s+++ out :)
Great lesson - Do you have any existing videos on the Purdie Shuffle and can you explain a regular shuffle?
Thank you so much 🙏 ✌🏽 2021
rob! do you have any videos on building independence? I really would like to see your take on it!
Might just be me but i'm really good at the whole keep the volume at 0 part also thx a lot rob I love the stuff u do keep it up
I’m not even a drummer but I love your videos.
Maybe this year I'll finally be able to do paradiddles at a decent speed, and with dynamics to boot. Looking forward to a great "hands" year.
How are your paradiddles in 2020?
im so glad because i reall wanna ijnprove
Another great lesson Rob - HNY 2018
Excelent !!!
Great!
Gaah you’re so much better than Drumeo! Wish I found you sooner bc your videos are so helpful!
Another great example of how 'less is more' ...its certainly no easy task to build such control, but I'll work on it...thanks again Rob
Hi, Rob, Are the extreme dynamics (fortissimo accents and pianissimo ghost notes) to be used for general playing or as a practice technique.
Thanks for the vids, but would appreciate your thoughts.
Peter Clarke I'll field this one...If music is the spice of life, dynamics is the spice of music. Ghost notes add feel to the music, although for the most part they aren't heard. I did pro audio for a while. I'd watch the drummer play while listening and the ghost notes just don't cut through a mix. I know accept, that even though I can't truly discern every ghost note played, I think perhaps my brain is still picking up on it, and it is adding a feel that I can't necessarily hear.
It's a paradox...but yes...use full dynamic range in your performance.
Question please: would you say that the tighter the drum head the more rebound on the stick happens? Reason I ask is it may have more definition on the ghost notes you think?
Nice sir
Ghost note hack!! Thank you!
Great video! I love those stick bags. Nice u have two of them.
Yea. I bought one, then ended up getting the other one as a gift when I got the Vic endorsement. And thanks!
Hi Rob, excellent lesson, as always! Any advice or particular exercise to help to keep the volume down on the snare when playing the accents on the toms?
Wim De Nul Control, Control, Control. Playing anything soft takes control. You gotta practice both soft and loud, both slow and fast. And typically, soft playing requires more control than loud.
yoo what hoops are they? I've got the same kit looks wicked, also how does it affect sound? Cheers
