    *Hey y'all! Hope this video helps you out. While we're on this topic of funk and hip hop grooves, our boy Nate over at The 80/20 Drummer dropped a great video talking about how to fix your feel for hip hop grooves. Link to that video is in my description box. G'awn and check that one out as well!* 🤘🏾

      All us Drumeos that released a video of Broadway Hustle are going “oh man, why did he release this after the deadline?” 😁 I hope my version didn’t make you cringe too hard. 😁 Seriously, I love this lesson! It’s an easy practice trick but it does so much. I’ll incorporate it in my daily routine.

    Love your approach to drumming . And even though I am a percussionist, I'm learning so much from your tutorials. Your long exercises are a fantastic way to groove over a long period, and as you are aware of doing doubles with just your hands is a friggin chore. Ain't no rebound, but your videos are very helpful. Great approach with great chops with a fine sense of humor . Keep it happening, your tutorials are needed.

    I also want to say your vid on vic firth was awesome. I used to not care about what sticks i used...I got the impression that Vic were 'better' so I went with them for a long time on principle. When I got older and did away with all that, I found promark to be so much better balanced across many of their models. Just confirms...find a stick you love...try every stick in the shop before you compromise. Im currently using the promark natural series (with the green logo). my kids bought me a pair for my 37th birthday which was very nice. My daughter also bought me 2 guitar picks. How sweet. God bless you Rob
