"A lifelong math game you have to play until you die, and you can never win" - Wo, That's deep bro
This guy has spent a lot of time up at night thinking of all this
Jesse Orosz Lol. 👌🏼👌🏼
Imagine getting blazed and watching this ........... 👁👁 😂
Or he's simply lived through and has experienced all this!
@@danielwilby6657 well that may be true, but he had to put it all together in his mind first before he made the video
Not night, but every free waking moment.
This is brilliant.. well thought out.. reminds me of Victor Wootens 4 stages of a musician :
1. Unconscious Unknown
2. Conscious Unknown
3. Conscious Known
4. Unconscious Known
yaa. just like the competence model
@@MukulAnand050 what is competence model lol
Exactly what I was thinking! Good catch. I’ve used that concept so often to remind me that it’s ok to not know because knowing is coming.
New title suggestion: Relationship Advice with Adam T.
This is GOLD.
I think I've got a pinky toe creeping into phase 4. The reason I say that is because drummers that are much better then me used to intimidate me. Now I'm at the point where I understand what almost any drummmer is playing, no matter how much better they may be then me. The difference now is I recognize that "better" just means they have a different set of skills they've chosen to work on for a longer duration of time. Whether that be a certain kind of fill/groove they play with certain cleanliness, or their sense of pocket or feel.
It no longer means that they are some how just innately better or have some super-human ability, it means the path they chose in drumming is different than mine. And I respect that rather then resent it, or let it scare me.
Adam, I love hearing you talk drum philosophy.
I agree wholeheartedly with these ideas, it feels like you read my mind and spoke out loud for me.
Dude this is an incredible video. I think I forgot why I love drums so much but I’m finally getting back in to it after a month or so. Thank you for what you do for the community!
His Passion and love of instrument is immensely profound , He directed analyzed all fundamentals emotions and growth missing was spirit and feel which cannot be taught you evolve or grow into it and that separates the men from the boys or woman from the girls to be politically correct. He has immense knowledge I'm sure he is a great teacher, his persistence determination are omnipotant
I was hoping you'd have a video with this title. Thank you. After packing away the drums a year ago with nowhere to play them over the last few years.... I've finally got a spot and hoping to continue my journey. This is what I really needed to get me started again. I'm really glad that there are people out there you and others alike that really encourage us all to keep playing.
Fucking well said, Adam. Beautifully shot, too. This is the type of clarity I needed to keep progressing.
So glad to hear that Andrew, and thank you for the kind words!
I'm gonna make a ballsy youtube comment: No one has actually put what you said into words better than you just did. Absolutely amazing video.
I love your analogy's haha, very well explained! Also 4:58 when dog takes your stick, cute af.
Excellent video, Adam! One area that I was surprised you didn't directly address is the development of listening skills and the ability to play well with other musicians. These concepts are often overlooked and underrated. In my career as a touring / gigging drummer over the past 10 years, my ears have gotten me much more work than my chops, (or lack of chops). So many drummers have amazing chops but don't know how to make music by listening to what others are playing and figuring out what’s appropriate for the situation. Regardless, this is a great video and it is already helping me in my journey as a performer and a teacher. You rock. Thanks so much!!!
absolutely! A mature set of ears will undoubtedly get you more gigs and opportunities than technical ability. But it is tough to say exactly “when” someone’s ears developer, because it’s a skill that takes such a long time to acquire. Very good point though my friend!
@@AdamTuminaro you're absolutely right. My biggest epiphany in drumming was when I finally understood subdivisions and how they fit into the grid. After that, my creativity, confidence, and precision advanced drastically. You did a great job of identifying and articulating that experience. Thanks again!
@@ntnt1289 was there something in my comments that you didn't like? I'm open to constructive criticism and always trying to improve. Feel free to elaborate. Thanks.
Bravo! I've been playing for 20 years. When people ask me if Its hard I have always said "Not really. It's just math. It took time to learn things but it's just vocab and math in the end"
Feeling, meaning, habits, preferences and influences just come along for the ride
This video is very accurate! I've been fallowing the exact same sort of progression without knowing it. I played the first two years of my drumming just fucking around, trying to learn my favorite songs without knowing the basics very well but I guess I had fun. Then after two years I hit a wall and I couldn't learn anything new. i couldn't figure anything out. So, I got myself a teacher. He started teaching from the very basic stroke and note values and techniques like Rudiments, Moeller method and finger control.... Now I'm 3.5 years into drumming where there are millions of things that I can learn and I'm just constantly practicing from books and I can say I'm in the phase three, like totally in the wild west right now and new stuff to learn are poping up like crazy. And in the Internet age there's just SO MUCH MATERIAL to learn from that it's kinda overwhelming. And like you said now that I have good grasp of note values and time signatures I can learn anything ... IF I have the time.
Before watching this video I always thought the first two years without a teacher and books was a waste of time. But this video made me feel like it was probably just part of the natural progression as a drummer. And the amazing thing about this video is that now I can see where I'm going with drumming in future. I understand what the next phase is gonna be which is great. Although I think I'm gonna be in phase three for at least 3-4 more years.
i love that this is an non-essentialist perspective on instrumental education. approaching learning on an existential level is necessary in my opinion
agree with a lot, and somewhere in those phases is 'the copycat' phase... you almost can't escape it, and you 'need' it, but once you feel you no longer need it, the identity starts to form...
that little piano playing in the backround makes this twice as motivational i swear lol
I'm so grateful that I've found you Adam.. I've been searching for such profound insights in drumming since I got into my honeymoon phase.
" Its the F'ing wild west out here"!!! Absolutely classic bro!!. After 27 years, I still have wow moments. Didnt take serious practice seriously for years. But, had a break through playing rudiments with the hands over an ostinato with the feet the other night. Actually stopped and said, wow!
As a guy who just picked up an electric kit after 19 years of not playing, I think the best advice was the honeymoon stage. My gut reaction was to head to youtube and figure stuff out. Now, I'm just going to fool around for a while and play my favorite songs...thanks Adam!
I think part of me is still in the honeymoon phase after 6 years lol
Haha samee
That might sound strange. But in my almost 14 years of drumming (I'm almost 18 atm, started playing at age 4, obviously), the most motivated episode wasn't actually at the beginning, it is now, right at this moment. This episode of motivation is lasting since 2017, when I picked up the sticks since round about 1½ yrs. Obviously I had to "get into it" again, but since then, everytime I walk into my little kingdom behind the drums, or even the pad for practice, I have to smile almost everytime. It just brings total joy and pleasure making music and practicing on a pad. It's just... fun, really. And pretty therapetic. The best method to cope with something. Sit behind the kit, 2/3 hours later, you feel better.
I promise.
Man... I've had a journey myself. Long and painful... Completely self taught. After 12 years of drumming it's just getting better and more fun. Started with Green Day songs and now I'm on Emperor, Brain Drill and Origin... It's amazing.
I've beaten myself up for years and forced myself painfully to become the best I can and I haven't even scratched the surface. Drumming is about discovering yourself.
Might as well be the most relaxing and best videos on drumming in the entire youtube.
This definitely applies to any instrument. I’m a saxophonist, and this is right on the money.
I’m such a fan. Your perspectives are so grounded yet inspired. It’s obvious you truly want to motivate and inspire drummers. Thanks for sharing your insights and experience
This drum lesson based on theories and philosophies is on the next level!
As a new drummer struggling to gauge progress, stay motivated, practice enough to improve, not practice too much to burnout, push myself, not get frustrated, etc etc, this video is priceless. You managed to explain, motivate, teach, and entertain in one video. You encapsulated what it is to be undertaking a new passion, and i imagine what it's like to be at a point where you're faced with understanding and acknowledging limitations and moving forward from there. Great video all around.
Your cinematography and quality of video is unmatched, such great content.
Hey Mr. Orlando. I just wanted too tell you that you are very inspirational. I was in a bad car wreck Dec. 18, 98 with a truck pulling a bobcat, but since about 2 years ago I've picked it back up again. I just wanted too tell you, Thank you for the videos and all of the info you're giving everyone. R3N
Rock on \mm/ 🤘
Fan here form Philippines 🇵🇭, Thank you for your encouragement, explanation, opinion, this video is really great and full of exploration, experiene, and Passion
Beginning drummer blown away/excited/blown away!
I love music, and I love math. I think I chose the right instrument 😃
As for me, honeymoon phase started after couple of years since my first lesson, because I didn’t have enough money for regular lessons, gear was shit as my sound and my bandmates were also beginners but we started making gigs and it changed everything. The real motivation to sound good live made me practice more and I realized that I can do something. Sorry for my english)
Most philosophical drummer in the game dude is sooooooo fresh
I was playing an 11 stroke roll in 11/16 time and I swear I heard a voice say “Level 11 unlocked”. It’s was mystical.
No everyone deserves your mentality brotha ignore all the negative shit like you do and stay I the best you’re the reason why I love drumming and people don’t understand the depth of this so don’t worry for the ones who truly understand believe me we all appreciate you very fucking much 👌🏽👌🏽
I just entered my 21st year of playing in May and never really looked at it this way, it certainly has validity and is a tidy way of looking at the process. My theory knowledge is limited and I started playing as a gigging drummer at 9, I could do different rudiments (didn't know what they were for the most part I still don't - it's all just feel). Stuff made sense to me from listening to music and turning the stuff I hear into simple memorable patterns to be applied more broadly around the instrument. Nurturing the creativity over sticking to the rule book is something I can really get behind though. While my studies and exams in drumming always said my theory sucked and I should work on my reading they always said I have an ear and the creative aspect of it.
I can't wait to see this video!
Absolutely inspiring
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 this video was sooo HELPFUL we appreciate it
*THANK YOU TEACHER* ♥️
Second comment from me on this excellent video: after about 4 years, I totally start seeing a grid, and a block of time I can divide into 4, 3, 5, 13, whatever I want. Metric modulation in other words, but not just in theory/on paper, but naturally during playing. And stuff like samba over rock polyrhythms start to feel natural. Still definitely in a heavy learning phase, and I agree that after a few years, in my case 4, the insights become deeper. I’ve also noticed now I focus a lot more on how I sound: in the room, with different bands etc. Ie how loud my chicks are, if my snare tuning complements the band, much more fidelity in this space than in previous years.
Oh, and I totally STILL work on my grip. :-)
Thanks for your knowledge, really appreciate it
excellent breakdown
This got me right at the perfect time. I’m feeling lost and didn’t know where to go, this helps a lot. Thanks.
great video Adam!
thank you!
Awesome dude
Incredible video Adam. Such a clear explanation, and so much value ! Love it
So spot on.
Wow well done what a great way of explaining!
Awesome Video Adam! Some great information!
Great vid Adam. Thanks you for that.
You are a very good drummer; but when you connect to us, you are very humble. I feel comfortable watching your videos. We need more drummers like you.
I'm currently stuck at the intermediate level. And I get the inspiration to push further from guys like you.
Thanks! God will bless yoy richly!
Amazing dissertation
Great video, I feel the same way!
Very well thought out as always adam👍🏻
11:25! You made laugh, Adam. Thank you. I really needed that
This video is VERY important. Thanks for this
Wow...MIND BLOWING...
Thank you so much Adam!!!
This is nothing but love dude wow you’re amazing
As a drummer....I know these struggles...thought I was the only one to go through it. Thanks for your teachings! Just subscribed. :)
I’m really glad to hear you talk about that video.. I saw it when it came out and kind of thought was your stance on learning drums (which looking back should have been obvious that it wasn’t) and I’m glad to see you’re ideas really align with mine!
I can't thank enough for this video. Truly inspiring!
That was nice man! Thank you
Great video and thought process. Appreciate you so much, man!🙌🏻
I love it bro you are my greates techer and in inspiration❤
I just needed this video today cuz its been a month since I've been behind my kit and when I played it earlier I felt kind of lost and no idea of what I should be practicing next but I think I know what to work on after watching this one. Thanks man and keep on creating content! :)
Incredible content my man
Great video once again Adam! That comment at 11:25 had me cracking up haha!
This is beautiful, a deep and honest take on growth and learning in general.
Find these videos maybe 3 weeks ago, great content, so on consepts, good work👍
Great Video. Thanks for sharing your time and ideas 🔥
I loved this video, you’re a great guy Adam
I loved this video! It’s so true and it’s given me a gameplan as to where I should be aiming for next in my drumming journey. Great video!🙏🏼
AWESOME WORK ADAM BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Adam, I love what you're doing. Thank you. After 30some years at it, I'm finally at all four levels (not JUST level four, but all at once (or at least levels 2-4), probably for the rest of my life).
Absolutely enjoyed every second of this vid! Very well artciulated insights from someone that got through it all. Found this really helpful and inspiring especially now, when things tend to get frustrating a lot of times for me. I really needed to hear this, to see the bigger picture. Have been playing drums for over 2 years now and all of the things you mentioned for phase 1 and 2 happened / are happening to me. Things getting hard, the sense of being "lost" at times, not seeing the progress, not knowing what to practice.... but at the same time the more time I spend with the drums, these tiny musical a-ha moments are happening.... as you mentioned, you just gotta hang in there and keep coming back no matter what. You can have a great session one day and absolutely suck the next day. But I guess you just need to focus your attention on the highlights and even if you suck at least you know what to practice to get better next time. It is a life-long journey and you only get what you give. Sometimes it is also great to look back and appreciate how far you have come. Anyway, just wanted to share my piece. Keep up the excellent content and stay safe! :)
Great video Man, really really cool.
this is AWESOME and i'm going to share this with lots of people.
I'm 49 and have been playing for 1 year. I work on 6 different skills six days aweek for 1 hour. On the 7th day I do whatever I want. This video helps remind me that I started playing because It's fun. Thank you Adam.
Amazing video as always!
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ADAM YOU HAVE BEEN A GREAT ADDITION TO MY PROGRESS I THANK YOU
Hey Adam, thanks for sharing your philosophy. I really enjoyed how positive this video is. I can definitely relate my self-taught journey with these four phases. All the best!
Amazing video!
Thanks for this video Adam I really appreciate it 👊🏻🥁
Crazyyyy Carllllllsssssss
This was really encouraging and inspiring. And kind of soothing. Thanks, man.
Best video... I ever watched🖤🖤🖤🖤💜💜💙
when you talk about your philosophy,it seems that you dig into it very well. This is amazing bro i love it.
Really well made video, and it helped me identify at what phase i currently am in and what i should focus on next. Thank you so much for this great video it really helped.
I really appreciate the clarity and the thought put into making this explanation! Got me even more excited about what's ahead in my drumming future :)
One of the most useful drum videos out there, for sure. Excellent job bro.
I like the way you express the complex concepts to play drum ,and Nice watch.
Thanks for this video, Adam. I've been stuck going back and forth between what you call Phase 2 and 3 for a year or two now, this was really inspiring to get me the next steps. Love it!
There is something raw and genuine about your insights that I love. I always thought that there was a lot more to learn from drums than drums themselves and that vid just gave shape to what was abstract in my head. It is obvious that you lived through those steps and decided to take a step back and try to explain for the newcomers what they were facing. Every joy and frustration of being a drummer transpires through your explanations. It is truly a good video. In the full sense of the word. Good because it is of a good quality. Because it is helpful. Because it's insightful. And because it's aim is the success of those who watch it. Thank you for having taken the time to watch your own journey from afar in order to help us. You are a good teacher.
Awesome 👍
