The 10 Levels of Linear Drumming
Вставка

When you see drummers showing off their 'chops', those incredible skills often consist of linear patterns, which means no two limbs are playing at the same time. They can give the illusion of speed while adding cool textures and dynamics. Many linear fills and grooves break up patterns between your hands and feet, rather than the right hand/left hand or right foot/left foot combinations that you might be used to.
There are infinite ways to orchestrate the same thing around the kit. You can place the 'voices' anywhere, playing the patterns on whatever surfaces you want (stack, ride, hi-hats, toms) and get a completely different sound. Linear drumming can help you improve your independence too, where you get to the point where each limb has a mind of its own.
In this video, Jared goes through 10 levels - from easiest to most challenging - and grooves to teach you techniques while you move up. Each level builds on the previous one, and you should start at Level 1 if linear concepts are new to you. These are the levels we use at Drumeo, but you might categorize these skills differently.
Level 1: 01:00 - Basic groove
Level 2: 02:37 - Adding ghost notes
Level 3: 03:49 - More bass drum
Level 4: 04:49 - Bass drum double strokes
Level 5: 07:04 - Basic triplets
Level 6: 09:05 - 16th note triplets
Level 7: 13:13 - 32nd notes
Level 8: 15:50 - Switching up note values
Level 9: 18:14 - Adding the hi-hat foot
Level 10: 21:12 - Combining techniques
Now take the grooves you've learned and move them around the drums - the sky is seriously the limit!

Once again, one of the best drummers around
Happy new year
That Danny Carey ride is stupidly gorgeous, killer sound as well.
jared you’re an excellent and humble drummer and teacher. your egoless attitude towards the journey is inspiring 🙌
You’ve done more for the drum and music community than any hater in any comment section. I appreciate you and your content and the community you’ve helped build. I’m glad the haters’ nonsense doesn’t get you down.
Jared really is a great drummer!
We'll pass this along - too kind!
@@DrumeoOfficial Groove Lvl 8 is so cool. So good.
I love that you said "badass." You rebel, Jared!
lol
It kinda caught me off guard not gonna lie
I wish I had access to at least a fraction of what you teach when I started drumming fifty four years ago. Sixty miles round trip from my small town once a week for a lesson that wasn't even close to anything you do. You and others making drumming/Music education videos are a God send and anyone that can't appreciate it hasn't not got a clue!!! I am a life time career drummer and what you are doing is perfect. Thank you so much.
KDW, like you, I wish I had access to a fraction of what Jared teaches. I wish UA-cam was around back then. I don’t think the kids today realize what a huge resource Drumeo and the internet is. Or maybe they do.
@@jackholl57 The only really pro drummer I got to meet as a kid was Roy Burns from Rogers. He gave a clinic again sixty mile round trip from where I lived. My band teacher took a couple of us in and I was blown away. Shortly before he died I got to set down with him one on one and talk at Aquarian drum heads. What an amazing man with an amazing life. He invented the clinic. He also remembered the clinic I attended because I brought up that he mentioned he was extremely jet lagged having played the White House the night before and flew all the way to Seattle to put it on. At first I said the White House and he corrected me, the Lincoln Center. Now I go down to my basement studio and with a click of a button have access to some of the greatest drummers that have ever live along with mountains of information from them and about them. Before they were just a name on an album cover. i grew up in a small country town that might as well been Mars and the one thing that stands out to me is that all of the big smokin hot drummers lived in cites and had access to great mentors. Now I do and am loving it. Thank you internet!!!
@@kdw735 that’s a great story. The only exposure I had was high school band camp where the percussionist/drummers could pay extra for instruction from Marty Hurley. That was for a week. That was the first and only professional instruction I had. Later in college, I went to a clinic with Carmine Appice. At the end of the clinic they had a drawing for the snare drum he played. They drew my name. I was in a daze. I couldn’t believe it. He signed it and I had my picture made with him, but I never could get a copy of the picture. That was during the time that Carmine played with Rod Stewart.
As a teenager and during my early twenties I went to a lot of rock concerts. If a top name act came to Mississippi, I saw them. If there were other concerts of different genre’s I didn’t know about them back then. So yeah, I think UA-cam is great.
@@jackholl57 That's a great story too. Really cool about the snare. I was just watching Carmine an Drumeo yesterday. Funny.
Morning coffee type lesson, good stuff. Classic Jared just teaching some drums thoroughly
Happy New year to everyone at Drumeo. Honestly,I know you would have been here rather covid hit or not,but for me personally and I'd like to think literally thousands of other who suddenly had to stay close to home.
The lessons the content,the introduction to other drummers I may have never got to hear. Words can't express and wouldn't ever be enough to explain the positive impact you all contribute to the world of drumming.
Thank you, Mike. We feel so lucky to get to create these videos for you. This year showed us that your hobbies really do matter -- and we were humbled to be in a position to help you get through this difficult year. Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment and for being an ongoing supporter. Happy New Year!
As a total Tool fanboy, please, please let Jared's use of the Danny Carey ride be a teaser for a 2021 guest lesson.....
And giveaway :b
that would be something i would pay to access
That would be a dream come true, but Danny seems like a really busy guy
it's actually super cool to watch you play things you struggle with Jared; it shows us all that we all struggle, unity!
I literally just bought a drum kit. Why is this such great timing?
Hii jared im watching and learning from your videos for more than 10 years youre doing a sacred job for the drummers community all over the world! F everybody who dont appriciate it, keep on being awesome and rock on!
Thank you! We're grateful to create these videos for you - but it's only because of your support that we get to do this. Happy New Year and here's to many more videos!
The last drumeo video of 2020
Happy New Linear!
@@DrumeoOfficial lmao
This is great thanks. One hears “linear grooves/fills “ tripping off he tongue of those who place themselves in high places in drummin. You’ve made it real, keep bringing it please
All the comment section "experts" hating on Jared's drumming probably never record themselves while playing... Ignorance is bliss, as they say 😉
I love you, man. I had a good laugh at the end of level 6. You're a great drummer (like 99% percentile), and, more importantly, a top-tier teacher. AND the most professional drum content producer around. Thank you for all that you do. Happy New Year.
Thank you Uncle Jared, those tutorials work pretty well. Happy new year to you and to your family
Really love the way you teach Jared, thanks a lot for your videos!!!!
Simple groove and I can use it as a fill,
Thank you Mr.jared for this lesson, I appreciate it. Keep teaching and Happy new year . God bless you.
I remember when this guy was a just a kid "one trip-el-et" ..I learnt to play blues shuffle by watching his early vids..he's still doing it awesome. had a long break from drums and getting back into it..good to see the channel is still here..and gone from strength to strength
Thank you for your work! You do great lessons and you are modest, sometimes a rare commodity amongst drummers! If some bad people comment negatively on your work, don`t worry, it only shows you are right in what you are doing!
Jared, Greatly appreciate your Channel. Excellent instructions and 🥁 lessons.
INCREDIBLE! GREAT LESSON, VERY USEFUL MR. FALK, THANK YOU!!
I have only dabbled in linear grooves in the past but this is over the top! I sure hope I get around to be able to try some of these. Amazing. Jared you rock at this!
Nice presentation, Jared. Tanx!
Quit hating on this guy. I’d like to see the people leaving snide comments bring FREE drum lessons with awesome drummers to the masses. Not to mention put their own drumming out there for inspection.
#10 broke my brain! 😳 Thanks for leaving in your “mistakes”; makes me feel better about my own. As far as using a metronome, I think it’s good sometimes, but not always necessary on this channel. That said, once I’ve learned an exercise, I use a metronome to make sure I’m keeping solid time. Thanks for another great video!
Shout out to that gorgeous looking amazing sounding kit!!
Wow! I love the acknowledged self analysis! I think this aspect is the key to improvement. If you can’t hear or dissect where you are sounding a bit off compared to your “minds eye” groove then there is no way to improve. Also being a little bit off the metronome is how a groove forms. Balance is so key and perhaps the best way is to balance is to move a little or sway with the groove. Like riding a bicycle - if you are moving in and out of balance then you can maintain average balance and stay relaxed rather than rigid. Jared is a Monster player! A drummer once told me that he learned to play faster by thinking of playing drums as a continuous circular motion - don’t focus on the notes - still struggling with it but I sense this is a key.
Nice lesson, thanks Jared.
Happy new year and thanks for yet another fantastic video which I know will take my playing forward musically and inventively by leaps and bounds. David (London).
That's about the same way I play level 6
Around the Tom's as a fill and hi hat/ride beat.
Love this video great work.
And you showed me some new stuff,
Always learn something!
That last one is awesome, I'm practicing that for sure.
Try counting sixteenth note triplets like this:
ONE-trip-let-AND-trip-let Two-trip-let-AND-trip-let etc.
Since they are anchored on the down and up beats you can easily count from eights to sixteenths to sixteenth note triples with the "ONE... AND" staying consistent.
Jared, thank you for single handedly making drumming a huge part of my life. I started at a zero at the age of 40, and now after 2 years, I'm actually able to play songs and have FUN! Because of drumeo and all your hard work to help develop drummers, I have found so many new drum friends and found so much peace in myself. Thanks for the hard work and have loved all your videos!
Keep putting out killer content! It's reaching the right people 🙏
Please continue to ignore the haters 👊👊
Thanks mom
That is a beautiful kit...
Excelente Jared! de los tutoriales que he visto en drumeo, con los tuyos he aprendido más, Gracias! Ahora a practicar hasta que salgan 🇲🇽
excellent lesson, very easy to understand, great teacher, never fails
The level 10 was so so good!!! Will definitely go there
Nice way to break these patterns up. Love the Seinfeld edited in 👌🏽. Happy new year to you guys 🎶🍾🥁🎉
gonna watch it again and again, really love this one! 👏🏻✌.
This lesson is pure Gold. Thanks a lot
Really cool how a lot of these make great fills!
Love this!!!! Great job as always!
Hey Jared! I tried to do last one but almost get a cramp hahahahhhaha. But i here to say that I am from Brazil, I bought the Drumers toolbox book and I'm loving it, i learned so many things, a lot of the history of the styles. I love drumeo, you are one of the channels that most are influencing in the beggining of my drummer life.
Ps: I started last year, and Happy New Year to all of you there!!!! You have a happy subscriber here in Rio
You inspired drummers around the world!🥁❤
Happy New Year to you Jared and the drumeo family
If you dislike this guys videos you shouldn't be allowed to have a computer!!!
Nor a drum kit.
Oh my God. Linear drumming, a concept I wish I knew a long time ago. Happy New Year everyone!
I like the demostrations with the metronome
I watched the video, got to my drum kit and made it to level 7 @55-60 BPM quite easily on the first go. That level 10 groove at moderate tempo is one crazy beat, looks like a good lvl 10 to me! Thanks for the lesson :)
Cant wait to practice this! Thanks so much!!!
Great presentation!!!
Nice work Jared. As always I appreciate that you share stuff while your still working on it. If the haters are so good, maybe they can start their own drum channel. I've learned a ton from you since I found Drumeo. I'm glad to see you living the dream.
thanks so much!! God bless!! happy new year drumeo 2021!!
I don't know what to say man... you said you struggle with the grooves on level 8 and 9 (which are really not easy) but then you did that thing on level 10 which totally blew my mind and didn't complain even a tiny little bit. You're a machine!
That ride is awesome!
Love these lessons
I've been playing for a million years but just recently got into the linear drumming thing... it is so fun! I'm may be a level 3.
That kit is beautiful
Dear mister Falkner. I struggle a lot to get a grip on many things drumming, and your videos are truly well appreciated by me. I got back to drumming a few years ago and drumeo's masterclass by Bruce Becker were a huge deal for me.
While watching you mildly struggling (really, there are more exercices than what a drummer can practice every day) with the fourth level, I made to myself the mental note that I decided to submit to you there: for some figures that require good hand/feet coordination, sometimes it produces good results to shift your grip from thumb/Index and medius to thumb/ring finger and little finger, in a kind of hybrid sanford Moeller fashion. It might make your bounce more tight, and gives a better bang for your buck in power drumming too. But it does change your overall balance, especially on the upper body. Just my two cents, and cars and miles etc... Fantastic job anyways and best wishes to you and the drumeo team.
The last video of the year drumeo! Can’t wait!
🍾🎊
Very nice jared!!!👏👏👏💪💪
Jared is the Drummer version of Napoleon Dynamite
But way beefy and cool
Love this channel!!!
Your vid was most helpful & very impressive!!
Thanks. It's really good!
Great video! Thanks. Don't worry about your drumming level, it's the teaching in this video that counts. And you do that very well. ;)
Great drummer and drumming.
Such a warm sound man
I make music in a DAW and I was at a loss at how to program drums. Before I came to Drumeo I think I settled into a linear pattern with my canned drums without realizing it. This is the sound I want. Thanks!
one of the best lesson of 2020!
Haha, we juuuust squeaked it in!
Excelente video 👏
Most awesome beats a drummer can put to a band don't be a hater if you're learning all possibilities of how to apply all your musical knowledge. Well tought.
Love it!
These videos are really inspiring to keep playing and improving!
I'm personally sitting at a level 4-5 comfortable I think.
About the click I don't think it harms the video to have it playing, and it might prove useful to people playing along with audio alone perhaps...
Cool video!
I've been waiting for this.
Thank you!
I like linear drumming. My good friend introduced linear drumming to me he is a drummer as well as me!!
Yeahhhh drumeo best videos feliz año nuevo 🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🎄
Your very crazy 😯😯😯 and You have an awesome Groove, I Love yours class
Dude give yourself some credit, you are a rad drummer. Keep up the good work :)
Thank you.
You are the best sir
Ok, after practicing yesterday I feel comfortable up until level 6. Level 10 is like something from another planet! The notation is great. I wrote down all the beats now I can go pull my hair out. LOL
Nice thanks for this
Oh, this is INSANE!
You did awesome, bruh.
gonna steal 8 as an exercise!
Thank you
Nice!
Thank you! Happy new year!
I'm 5. I Need to learn from 6 :) 🇧🇷
Sooooooooo jealous of that ride symbol i neeeed it been wanting that since i started playing
Merry Christmas 🥳🥳🥳
A guitarist friend of mine refers to level one as "Boots and Cats and"... gotta have a system 😂
I really liked how your set was playing straight eighths with you on the eighth note groove. It might be interesting to hear some grooves with rests to contrast against the straight sixteenths or sextuplets. Might be cool to bring your sweep drumming friend back and do some linear stuff with sweep doubles or triples added. Anyhow, terrific lesson!
Awesome Canadian dude.
Best channel
Hey man this is great for me to incorporate into my practicing. Thanks for all the details - happy new year!
Happy New Year!
@@DrumeoOfficial
Thanks for this advanced linear digging, and definitely a happy new year to Jared and the Drumeo team.
My 2121 will be filled with linear, blushdas and hertas.
I actually discovered some time ago. linear is an excellent drum style for some Funk or world colored music.
And it's always a big fun to pay close attention to the bass player first dazzled looks, quickly turning to excitement, for it's like a brand new parallel universe.
Take care
I'm not a drummer but I thoroughly enjoyed this lesson.
