This is probably my favorite video I've ever made... I hope the graphics made you pay attention and learn something because they took FFFKING forever to edit! 😂
Holly... I can see why it’s your favorite video. Hands down, this must be the best drum notation video ever made! I wish I saw it when I just started learning reading notes, absolutely epic introduction. The graphics and the way you talked about it is absolutely sick! I agree with points you made there 100%. I started learning drums half a year ago and reading was one of the first things Í’ve decided that I want to learn. It’s actually suprisingly easy to get into and the payoff in learning has been immense! I’m still an absolute beginner, but being able to read and also write my own charts is super handy for learning both drum patterns (grooves/fills) and whole songs. Also, gonna make everyone in band watch this, because people get confused everytime I mention “bars”. :D Very underrated channel, keep pumping this gold quality content, man!
Yeah man.... So many time to explain and do it a fun way. I had checked to Stephen Clarks(A.K.A "The Non Glamorous Drummer") video on Drum Notations . Folk who might have trouble understanding this video slow check out his video too. ...But coming to Brendan's video ,woh this information and animation were freaking nuts. I loved the video man. Crisp and sound answers no beating around the bush! . He must have had insane amounts of retakes (or atleast I would ,if I was recording 😅😅). Great job Brendan😎😎.
@@ninoveremmanuele.mabida8108 The top number is "how many" notes The bottom number is "what kind" of notes. Its just there to tell you how long each bar/measure is.
This guy is EXTREMELY underrated. Top notch editing. Determination. Top notch playing ability. Top notch teaching skills. *GET THIS GUY TO 1 MIL SUBS ASAP*
As a teacher, this is probably THE best condensed vid for fundamentals on drum notation right now! This should be in every drum studio lol. Annndddd this is your best edited vid-by far!! I think you've found the formula aesthetic-wise for your brand. Kudos!
A BLESSING , he is ! ( Thanx Brandon 😀...I have 42+ years of educating ' the inspired ' drummers of my city , HOUSTON,TX . You my sir, are FLAWLESS in your presentation here !
just dropping by to kiss your feet. what you've just made is a timeless monumental video for the teaching world that people will reference for decades to come. Everything was put together so cohesively and you really made things so easy to understand that I'm sure even someone with minimal / no musical experience would be able to pick up on. kudos to you dude.
I’m in my junior year in college and like to thing I can read pretty well. I’m comfortable with my musical abilities for where I am and what I’m doing. Idk why I’m watching this. This is simply entertaining
Man.... We're from Brasil, and enjoy so much your classes and vídeos, you help us how to understand the drums with a very strong and diferent view. Thanks a Lot Mannnn..... Happiness and good healthy
Wow, nice result. This piece probably took forever to edit, but it definitely helps keeping the attention of the viewer, as well as making learning fun. It is proven that knowledge obtained through playful means trains the brain in the long run to associate learning with positive emotions, and makes the brain want to learn new things there where there is fun. Which means you have just got yourself another returning customer. Time you put in this video is time well spent. I am 49y old, and recently I started playing drums in a band, for the first time in my life. Never played drums in a band before, mostly did the singing or bass. Now, I have to learn all there is to be learned about drums from scratch. After a couple of rehearsals, I realized that my brain at my age is not too eager about remembering grooves and parts of songs to the letter even after hours and hours of listening to the same song. So, I realized I have to learn how to make myself some drumming cheat sheets. I'm so glad I bumped into your channel. I've also seen the other video you made about transcribing songs quickly when there is not a lot of time given to absorb a set list of 20 or 30 songs overnight. Loved the video. But the sample song you picked was very simple. Do you have a video that builds on that one and also shows a way to write down songs that are a bit more complex?
Dude. This is really great. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an overview of music notation that covers this much info in such a short time. And obviously the creativity is out of this world. Really great work.
I already knew all of this but you made this totally worth watching even for me! Great fucking job. This is the best and one of the most creative videos I’ve seen in a long time.
I recently decided after years of playing to start learning music notation. I avoided it over the years because I didn’t understand it and wanted to channel all my energy into having fun on the kit. I wish I had done this earlier, but better late than never. It’s opened up a new world to me. You’re analogy with reading and writing being the foundation to learning about endless topics is spot-on. I feel like I’m starting to understand far more about subdivisions and syncopation and other aspects that I kind of had a feeling for before, but just didn’t truly understand and couldn’t communicate. It’s also helping me understand what other drummers are doing when I listen to recordings. This a great video, and lots of fun. I really appreciate your creativity and editing skills on top of the educational content. You have a new subscriber.
This is such a fantastic video. As a self taught drummer playing nearly 14 years. This is the best explanation of notation and what I feel like is already in my head and when I play. So happy I found this page!
Bro love this! I work in drum tuition and I’m always trying to find better ways to adapt my methods of explaining drum notation, you gave me some ideas!
One of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam about the approach to creativity in general. Had I understood the value of music theory earlier in my career I would have avoided much time wasting and frustration. My philosophy - absorb as much knowledge aa you can, then apply it as often as you can.
Man oh man. Every now and then somebody comes along with a way of explaining something that makes it make sense. You just did that for me in this video. You, Sir, are brilliant. Thank you!
Dude! Dude! Duuuuude. This video is the dogs bollocks. Super nice explained, interactive and fun to watch. And your editing skills?!? Amazing job. You nailed it man. I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks Brandon for keeping drummers around the world inspired and for taking the time to do great content like this. Cheers, Sebastian.
Dude this video is incredible. I'm showing this to every drum student I have. You perfectly captured and explained so much music theory in an informative and hilariously awesome way into one 10 minute video. Well done man!
I'm not new to drumming, but I've always learned by ear, trying to learn notation. Watched a few other videos that were okay, but this one is by far the one that helped the most so far. Loved it! Gonna save it and come back! Subscribed and looking for more!
Your editing definitely makes your videos unique, entertaining and very cool man. What is probably a typical and overdone topic, you've managed to make fresh and enjoyable. Nice job!
You made me very proud of myself. I thought I knew almost nothing about drum notation but I already knew everything you covered except for dotted notes. I have a real hard time with those.
Man that bass drum is so freakin mean. I've shared this everywhere I can on social media. Been following you about a year now and you're fantastic. Cheers mate!
Brandon. I’m 52 yo. Self taught. Been playing for 5-6 years at church. Not the best drummer but I complete the set. I’ve been looking for a “Roadmap” for all the different songs we play. (When to come in. What to come in with). Your teaching techniques are great. You broke down time signature where I finally understand time signature. Your a great teacher. I can build on this. Any other techniques or tools would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
I cannot get enough of this channel. I am a drummer who is a professional chef who became obsessed with cinematography in the last couple of years so this channel inspires me to explore my creativity in my own areas of knowledge. Thank you Brandon! You are an amazing human being! :)
this video is pure GOLD. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in a such simple yet beautiful way. Oh, and kudos for the amazing editing. Much respect from Brazil.
As someone who has read music notation since I was 9, I can honestly say this video is absolutely brilliant, and should be shown in schools. I have never had to read drum notation and I am trying to learn drum notation... as in, how do you notate a roll, what the heck is a flam and how is it used... that sort of thing... but I subbed when he put up the repeat symbol as he repeated himself... good stuff.
Even as a person who doesnt play drums or anything rock/ garage band etc, this helps had no idea that the bass and kick/bass drum were in sync, thanks!
The video is really good. I've tried to learn drum notes for years, but I can't seem to get it in my head, just because there's too much to process. I have managed to learn drum notes in its absolute most simple form. Quarter notes, eight notes, triplets, and so on. I've also learned the most basic 4/4 grove, with some embelishments of each voice. (Kick, tom, snare, hihat, crash) But after that there's too much going on. Too many signs intergrated with note values, time signatures and diffrent ways of writing it, it's no use. I can't really get anything out of it. But if I hear it, I still might be able to play it, if it isn't above my level. Having that said, I can see why reading notes can help a drummer grow and expand skill level. For me, I have to keep all in my head, remembering every thing I have to play. I wish I had some system to write down for remembrance. But next time I look at any self made note I've made, I can't remember what I meant..
Well I already know how to read Drum notation but I'm sure that ANYONE who doesn't is able to learn it from this video! Great work and very nice visuals👌
i'm glad you picked up that book many "for dummies" are written flawlesly by EXPERTS (duh, obvius) one of the most epic drum books ever is Drums for dummies by Jeff Strong
As a French speaker, I notice how some terms in English are straight forward and mathematical whereas we are very visual. Just some examples: Whole note = Ronde (Round) Half note = Blanche (White) Quarter note = Noire (Black) Eighth note = Croche (Hook) Sixteenth note = Double croche (Double hook)
What should I say, this has been a very enlightening lesson. Got confused most of the time when I saw the notes. Now leaving from this video well drum-fed, 😄😄😄😄😄 Thanks Brandon🙏
Thanks so much for your understandable explanation of this drum notations for beginners. Please do more on this. I appreciate your hard work. More power to you. Have a nice day.

Ur my hero keep d good work
Very well done dood besides being an excellent drummer you is an exceptional communicator.
Yeah, editing and graphics are phenomenal! Also: What is that song at the end????
Your editing is top notch
It really is. On top of the fact that I learned a whole lot about drums in this video. 10/10. Makes me wanna start my own vids and edits with piano.
Yeah it’s so good. I do some editing myself and he does it so smoothly, and creatively. Inspiring me for that and drumming haha
Yeah man.... So many time to explain and do it a fun way.
I had checked to Stephen Clarks(A.K.A "The Non Glamorous Drummer") video on Drum Notations . Folk who might have trouble understanding this video slow check out his video too.

I loved the video man.
Crisp and sound answers no beating around the bush! . He must have had insane amounts of retakes (or atleast I would ,if I was recording 😅😅). Great job Brendan😎😎.
Yeah! been always impressed by that guy.
Yeaa bro it is....
As a self-taught drummer who has zero clues on what this sht is, I NEEDED THIS.
update: got lost in time signature part -_-
@@ninoveremmanuele.mabida8108 Rewatch it. ;)

The top number is "how many" notes
The bottom number is "what kind" of notes.
Its just there to tell you how long each bar/measure is.
Also, self taught. This video is like watching Bill Nye teaching science. Thank you.
SAME, MATE.
This video should have more views.
Definitely. Brandon manages to break down the theory so easily! This could be helpful to so many people.
I never comment on UA-cam videos. But the amount of time spent on this editing deserves one. Well done man.
Thank you so much
The countdown to a Drumeo lesson with this guy has begun...
"I think that deserves a sub"
Jokes on you, I subbed a long time ago mate
And I don’t even play drums
This guy is EXTREMELY underrated. Top notch editing. Determination. Top notch playing ability. Top notch teaching skills. *GET THIS GUY TO 1 MIL SUBS ASAP*

This should be in every drum studio lol.

Totally agree
can we all take a minute to thank Brandon for his editing skills please

Man oh man. Every now and then somebody comes along with a way of explaining something that makes it make sense. You just did that for me in this video. You, Sir, are brilliant. Thank you!
As a music instructor this is gold! The graph paper is a perfect way to try to help people pull everything together if they just can't quite get it.
Great video, idk if I learned something but I certainly had a great time watching it
In addition to the sick edits, I learned a whole lot about drums in this video. 10/10. Makes me wanna start my own vids and edits with piano. Lol.
Bro the transition to the shotgun is so smooth
Haven’t found anyone that beats your fundamental break down .... Awesome work!!!
bro, when I say you blew this video out of the water....I mean it. Editing was on point, creativity is popping. This is fantastic.
Firstly, that edit was immaculate and secondly I'd like to appreciate that Kae Chaps song you have in the background. Made my week honestly
Editing is next level and the content was legit, too. Love your stuff, man!!!
Your videos are so creative and amazing man! Keep it up and all the best!!
Don't skip Ads! I learned a lot from you with the help of graphics. Thanks, from the Philippines!
Thanks brandon!!! We're highly educate of this lesson.😊 Best lesson and edits😁😅.

Woaaah your editing is.... MAGIC
This is the first time I actually wanted to learn more and more. Superb editing and the easiest way I feel to understand notations.
very impressed by the shadows at 2:50
I know right?

This was so fun to watch.
You are such a good teacher, usually get to learn a lot from your videos.
Thanks man
SHOCKER: Student Brandon actually edits all of these videos.
You made me very proud of myself. I thought I knew almost nothing about drum notation but I already knew everything you covered except for dotted notes. I have a real hard time with those.
Best video on the internet explaining drum notation. Mad respect. Super well done.
Man that bass drum is so freakin mean.
I've shared this everywhere I can on social media. Been following you about a year now and you're fantastic. Cheers mate!
You videos keep getting better an I keep learn new stuff thanks man literally wouldn’t know how to play drums without these vids

this video is pure GOLD. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge in a such simple yet beautiful way. Oh, and kudos for the amazing editing. Much respect from Brazil.
Yes Brandon, there are notes, and it’s easy. And it’s kind of hard. Thank you so much for the introduction.
Man, you are just awesome
Been playing for years never learned how to read music this helped so much
You've really stepped up with the editing lately. Always great content and now even more enjoyable to watch.
Brandon, this is one of your best videos to date mate. Always producing such valuable content. Appreciate it brother.
Thanks so much for spend so much time doing this videos! Greetings from México...
As someone who has read music notation since I was 9, I can honestly say this video is absolutely brilliant, and should be shown in schools.

as a self-taught drummer who's never taken theory lessons, this was INCREDIBLY helpful to me. always making the best content nowadays, Brandon!! 🤘
Wow! The way you explain this makes it easier to understand, thank you!!
The next time someone asks how to start reading charts, I’m sending them here first.
This is too good!!
This guy is the best video editor out there. Period
This is the best video I've seen on this subject for so many reasons.
yo i found you filling a snare with water surprised the snare wasnt working. now ive come to watch you teach and im glad i did. youre a good teacher
For someone who already has a pretty good understanding of notation this was really cool to watch to help visualize even more
I can’t explain how much I love this video.
Awesome stuff Brandon! You never fail to impress!
Wow! So great and easy and entertaining to watch and learn! Thank you!
Your vids are just AWESOME - content, editing, charismatic presenter! Thank you dude...
Thats an awesome way to articulate it. Awesome bro!
Very clearly explained. I am a beginner and came across your channel to learn. Thank you. By the way you are a master of video editing.
That editing tho... That, that's something else. One of the best I've seen!
Dude the edits... okay... You just won the game dude, wtf. Also thanks for sharing things, I love that philosophy. Luv
Even as a person who doesnt play drums or anything rock/ garage band etc, this helps
had no idea that the bass and kick/bass drum were in sync, thanks!
as a professional drum teacher not only can i say thank you for this video but beautifully done man.
The video is really good.
I've tried to learn drum notes for years, but I can't seem to get it in my head, just because there's too much to process.
I have managed to learn drum notes in its absolute most simple form. Quarter notes, eight notes, triplets, and so on.
I've also learned the most basic 4/4 grove, with some embelishments of each voice. (Kick, tom, snare, hihat, crash)
But after that there's too much going on. Too many signs intergrated with note values, time signatures and diffrent ways of writing it, it's no use. I can't really get anything out of it. But if I hear it, I still might be able to play it, if it isn't above my level.
Having that said, I can see why reading notes can help a drummer grow and expand skill level.
For me, I have to keep all in my head, remembering every thing I have to play. I wish I had some system to write down for remembrance. But next time I look at any self made note I've made, I can't remember what I meant..
Yo the presentation alone made me sub. The info was sooooooo Good and kept me engaged. Keep it up bro, I love it !!
Well I already know how to read Drum notation but I'm sure that ANYONE who doesn't is able to learn it from this video! Great work and very nice visuals👌
i'm glad you picked up that book many "for dummies" are written flawlesly by EXPERTS (duh, obvius) one of the most epic drum books ever is Drums for dummies by Jeff Strong
Dude, I admire you. This is amazing in all aspects
This is really helpful, it makes everything seem a lot simpler than they look. I never really understood time signatures, this made it make sense.
Omg I wanna do drum lessons so badly now!! It's pretty hard for me to focus sometimes (because of my ADHD) but this video totally hooked me! Amazing!!
Brandon, this your best video, also an amazing drummig video. Highly creative and entertaining too. Love it!
brandon you are such a great teacher, i would love to see a video of you teaching your students.
