In my opinion, Kick/snare/hat is the best exercise for a drummer to develop their chops. The limited equipment forces you to be creative and not rely on gear to make up for lack of skill.
Throw a ride in for bell exercises and that’s all you really need to practice. I am an old school drummer and usually just play with 5pc set, sometimes just 4pc, 4 cymbals and hats. It also makes lugging it around a little easier. Unless drummers get backline for a show, we usually have the most things to put together and tear down.
Hey guys thank u Guys frfr so much for showing me love from this video .if u want to see more drum videos look on my profile and there’s more videos on there and another coming soon so be on the look out . Also follow me on instagram - jdr_playsmusic02 And Facebook - Jonathan ruffis
This kit is sonically incredible. It is very snappy and percussion-like, you can nearly feel the impulsion it gives to the air. Also, each drum has a very distinctive and recognizable sound. The kick is a very clear and bassy but not muddy thud, the snare is loud and resonant as fuck but not overbearing and the hit-hat has that perfect sibilant sizzle. This could cut through any mix while still giving the space for every instrument, it is really masterfully crafted.
I am a drummer, old fk, same set of conga skins for 50 years, they talk, your drumming is spot on and kind, keep on keeping on the beats of life~~ I often find a quiet place to play where your music fills the trees, respect.
My teacher once showed me how just by feet (one kick and one hi-hat) and >the right feeling< it is possible to create interesting and catchy grooves. And then I realized what I kept missing... 😅 You got it! 👍 👏
I got so much respect for someone who put so much effort into reaching such a level of skill af this one, while making it look so effortles. And especially since I'm very well aware of how little of this skill I have myself!
It was dope as hell, Im sure there's a reason why most brothers play similar. Must roots or gospel music. Cant really put my finger on it but if you listen to this kind of drumming it's usually dudes who come from a gospel background musically. Or jazz of course
I miss playing my acoustic drums outside 😔 those were some of my favorite shows(bass drum kills it out doors with no mic 😎👌)your beats are dope bro, keep rocking 👏
Excellent. This is how you can see if a drummer is good if he can play this well and sound like nothing percussively is missing despite a limited drum set. Love it.
before picking up drumming: "i wanna play like Portnoy/Peart etc." after picking up drumming: "i wanna play like this dude." this is clean af, i strive to chop in a minimal kit like this.
I have every even number of toms from 6" - 18", and a 20" bass drum; but I started with just a kick, snare, and hats. You master that and then add pieces. This dude can do more with 3 pieces than most drummers will ever dream of. Respect bud. I'd love to see what you can do on a full kit.
got to see Tysahwn Sorry live with King Britt last summer at a blacktronika event; when I walked into the venue and I saw just a snare, kick, and hi hat, I knew I was in for a show. Absolutely melted my brain. Dope stuff great job!
Smokin! I’ve only taken my kit outside a few times, but have been wanting to do it lately. I’ve got 2 flights of stairs in my house to get outside and get winded going up one flight since having Covid in January. You sound great
I love this. You can tell his sense of humor is great when he does that pause and almost makes himself laugh. Great work and charismatic. You got it down!
Когда я сел за барабаны,я оставил только малый набор...Тройка,добавил один альт и один том с тарелкой,и этого было достаточно на все случаи...Автор играет просто,но чётко и ритмично,прям зажигает...!!!😃
Everyone who is impressed by this should take away the point that this is how far you can get by just building a really solid foundation of the essentials. 80-90% of being great at anything, not just drums or other instruments, is simply becoming fluent at the fundamentals.
Damn thats awesome! Living in an apartment I cant have a full set but my car could carry just that around to an abandoned lot easy. Dont need electricity or power either. Thanks for the inspiration!
Ударная установка-это национальный американский инструмент. Сколько неизвестных, но талантливых барабанщиков играют на этом замечательном инструменте. Удачи вам и всех благ!!!!
Some people take it upon themselves to make the rest of us feel small! You rock with just a bass, a hihat, and a snare. I struggle with 4 cymbals and 3 tom toms added.
In my opinion, Kick/snare/hat is the best exercise for a drummer to develop their chops. The limited equipment forces you to be creative and not rely on gear to make up for lack of skill.
Yessir
factss
Agreed👍

That was insane. What a drummer you are mate. I wouldn't keep up with that rhythm, fast enough.
Thank u man✊🏾.
@@jdr_playsmusic02 glad you like my comment. I'm also a drummer myself. Long story, short, I miss being in a band with other band members.
@@danielhighfield907 oof i cant relate but it would prob be like losing a friend
Indeed
@@jdr_playsmusic02 can you redo that beat, and show us your bass drum foot? New sub
That was DOPE
Blessed by the productivity God himself!
for real..
смотрела тебя в россии - круто и ритмично, добра тебе
Damn, wouldn`t have expected you here! Thanks for all your studying advice
This guy inspired me to start drumming. With a simple kit he developed an entire vocabulary. It's hard work and dedication.
Yeah man. I been playing drums for 15 years. This man has done his time. Believe me
this dude looks like he has the potential to absolutely just pop off at any given moment, love the vibe
Why the Fuuuuudge is this only 29 seconds long???? Love this dude. Everything about his playing is magic. My kinda drummer right here.
Ahhh my guy!!! Thank you!!
29secs IS magic there my friends.. genius 🥰🥰🥰🥰 perfect
Do a 10 minute version
Kick, snare, and hat are all you need, sounds great!
Yessir thank u so much
Add a beer and ill agree.
Technically all you need on a guitar is one string, but the other five sure do make things sound better and give you more options.
@@officialmetalwill you cant play chords on one string, so technically its not enough.
@@kattihatt Okay? People have done whole solos with one string. You can make A LOT of different sounds with one string.
Hey guys thank u

I love it!
You got the maad skills brother!!
Hope this and the rest of videos blow up for you man you deserve it. Mad skill
@@aistisice thank u so much man Frfr
Jonathan you should check out some of Zach hill’s drumming! I think you’d like his phrasing and technique with minimal kits like that
@@lilskuzzy Zach is a beast man i love watch his videos
Bro if this man go do this crazy stuff on three pieces of the drum kit, I’m genuinely terrified to what he can do on a full kit😂
Isn't it amazing what can be accomplished with just the kick snare and hi-hat??!! Chops Bro ... CHOPS!!! 💯😎
And skillz.
Nice to see fellow fishermen watching drum videos
@@knrst9061 💯 Amen buddy, I'm a drummer as well. 👍

I agree it sounds great but what in the world is “percussion-like”?
Sonically incredible? Okay.
@@DaylightRobberyCA It's drumesque
@@whatdothlife4660 the drums are drum like.
Hmm yes this percussion is very.....percussion-like
That stop at 0:02 says it all
0:11 that run
I love minimalistic kick, snare, hi-hat sets. You're a master, dude.
MAD TALENT! You don't need a 10000 piece drum-set to make a great groove and prove your skills. Keep it up bro.
This is waay too good, the tight snare and hi-hat combos are incredible. I can rewatch this 30secs over and over
I love minimal drum sets, the really make you think creatively
great playing!
Dude... There's something so good about drums just fuckin goin everywhere and anywhere they feel like
Talent! So many really talented musicians out there. Love the groove.
This dude plays better with a 3 piece than I'll ever play with a full kit. God damn. Killer

You don’t need more than this to show you’ve got groove - good job, brother
No one else got them natural grooves like the black man
Big Man. Big Beat. Big Chops. Small kick drum.
My teacher once showed me how just by feet (one kick and one hi-hat) and >the right feeling< it is possible to create interesting and catchy grooves. And then I realized what I kept missing... 😅
You got it! 👍 👏
I always have loved small kick drums, but you make this kit sing! I felt like I was in a 90's Dn'B break beat for a sec, thank you for that!
Best sounding snare ever, amazing groove as well
Drumming: ✅
Outside: ✅
With -
Kick: ✅
Snare: ✅
Hihat: ✅
10/10, got exactly what i clicked for.
Love it! Snare, Kick and HiHat, the foundation to establishing the groove
That little, "side swipe" to the hihat is smooth man, nice chops
I got so much respect for someone who put so much effort into reaching such a level of skill af this one, while making it look so effortles. And especially since I'm very well aware of how little of this skill I have myself!
All amazing, but what you started playing at 0:18 was SWEEET!!!
It was dope as hell, Im sure there's a reason why most brothers play similar. Must roots or gospel music. Cant really put my finger on it but if you listen to this kind of drumming it's usually dudes who come from a gospel background musically. Or jazz of course
0:15 It's amazing, how pronounced _silence_ can be with the drums.
Always been my favorite instrument.
I miss playing my acoustic drums outside 😔 those were some of my favorite shows(bass drum kills it out doors with no mic 😎👌)your beats are dope bro, keep rocking 👏
Thank uuuuuuu
@@jdr_playsmusic02 - What snare is that? (make/model/size)? Thanks!
A great use of doubles and cleanly played accents. Not the easiest thing to play.

Yeah man sounds great! That’s my favorite set up. The limitations force you to be more creative 😁
Truth
Yessir. And thank u man

I don't know how the video was recommended to me but you are an incredible drummer sir ! Good luck for your music :)
Sensacional amigo! Incendiário…
🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💥💥💥🥁
Super clean rhythms bro...props
Thank u
this is the type of thing to pop up on someone’s recommended in 5 years with like 10 million views. Remember me when your famous!
So crisp and clean. That beat was tuffff.
Sir you brought a huge smile to my face. Thank you for making my day infinitely better :))
Those are dirty beats… and by dirty I mean clean and tight (WOOOO!)
Can we get a full version? That felt GOOD
I have every even number of toms from 6" - 18", and a 20" bass drum; but I started with just a kick, snare, and hats. You master that and then add pieces. This dude can do more with 3 pieces than most drummers will ever dream of. Respect bud. I'd love to see what you can do on a full kit.
That snare tuning **chef's kiss**
Man….
This is some good stuff
I think a small kit shows more creativity..
Nice work man keep it up!!
awesome stick control, feel, and phrasing. keep killin it!
Thank u so much !

Straight shooter, no frills, no gimmicks. Exactly what the title says, no more, no less. I’m into it.
Smokin! I’ve only taken my kit outside a few times, but have been wanting to do it lately. I’ve got 2 flights of stairs in my house to get outside and get winded going up one flight since having Covid in January. You sound great
Nice and great sounding kit!
Thank u so much man
I had to pull out my bass i want to import this and loop jam to it! your brilliant mate what a talent
True quality. no frills, or anything else needed.
this video is part of the reason why kick snare and hi hat will always be my favorites
I love this. You can tell his sense of humor is great when he does that pause and almost makes himself laugh. Great work and charismatic. You got it down!
Great drumming, man! You are gonna dig it. Like it very much. Greetings from Germany 👍
Yessir thank u man
Proof that you don't need a crazy amount of cymbals and toms to sound good!
No, that’s not a proof.

чисто их "темнокожий" подход - госпел чопс ! круто.
That's all you need. Sounds like gold.
a true inspiration for my recent busking < 3
how did you get so good...what exactly did you practice?
Loving the content keep bringing more
I practice playing with a metronome with a pocket and chops
Rudiments
Damn he chopped us in half
Lol naw man lol I’m not . I’m just playing stupid mess
Nice
I love seeing what a real drummer can do with a minimal rig
That snare tone 🥲 what a great exercise
That left hand has a mind of it's own. That was nice!
Bruh thats SMOOOOOTH AF and this on 3 pices only. DAMN!
Its amazing just how much of a variable sound you can get out of only three pieces.
A drum techs dream setup.
you've got good natural timing, that already makes you great.
That is such a punchy snare, I love it.
Idk much about drums but you can tell that a drummer is insane if he can make it sound good with just a small part of the drum kit
Kick, snare & hi-hat.
Dude Rocks~! 💥
No fluff on this video. Exactly what the title promises. 10/10.
as a bass player... i feel you!...control of that hihat, snare and kick are excellent.
Smooth. Proof you don't need a huge drumkit to sound awesome. ❤
Everyone who is impressed by this should take away the point that this is how far you can get by just building a really solid foundation of the essentials. 80-90% of being great at anything, not just drums or other instruments, is simply becoming fluent at the fundamentals.
Damn... when Kick Snare Hat is all you need... sheeeeeeeeeshh
Snare sound from heaven
I love watching drummers who can do impressive shit like this with such a simplified setup. Keep kicking ass
that was insane in the best possible way!!!!!
Oh man, such a classic! Reminds me of Jojo Meyer's school DVDs :) And he was of course referencing the greats from 60th.
With the kick, snare, kicks & hi-hats.
Skilled in the trade of that ol' Boom-Bap
Dayum. chops for days. That kick has got some thump for a small kick.
Dude has some really good chops!!!!!
how do you dooo that!!! GOALS. I just started drums and can't get the rolls yet.
Damn thats awesome! Living in an apartment I cant have a full set but my car could carry just that around to an abandoned lot easy. Dont need electricity or power either. Thanks for the inspiration!
This is all the drums I NEED.
the kind of friend you need in life
This dude has MASTERED heel-toe. God damn.
If you didnt see it you'd think he was playing a full set. Amazing.
Ударная установка-это национальный американский инструмент. Сколько неизвестных, но талантливых барабанщиков играют на этом замечательном инструменте. Удачи вам и всех благ!!!!
No way. You made it sound incredibil like full set. What a talent… wow
Some people take it upon themselves to make the rest of us feel small!
You rock with just a bass, a hihat, and a snare. I struggle with 4 cymbals and 3 tom toms added.
Super fucking sick. that snare tone is on another level!!
