    I've been at a basic beginner plateau for two flippin' years. This was the most helpful video exercise I've come across to break through. It took me months and MONTHS (cuz I'm old), but I'm finally unlocking my limbs from safe & boring old habits and starting to explore the kit in ways I dreamt of. Don't give up on this excercise! -- especially if, like me, you feel your limb independence & coordination isn't improving and that you'll never get it. Trust in BdB.

      I’m getting back into it too and I can’t for the life of me get #2 to work for me. Number one and three were a one time and got it, but #2 IS LOCKING ME UP IN MY BRAIN AND I CANT SLOW IT DOWN ENOUGH TO GET.

    Hi Rob, I have had such a difficult time with separating hands and feet and left and right over the years that at times i thought it may drive me crazy. I have to say that if I had met you way before now I would be a much better drummer. The way you explain things and the exercises you show are just fantastic. I feel like I have finally started to put some difficulties behind me thanks to your teaching abilities. Thank you so much !!

    Thanks Rob. My son got me my drum kit,I’ve been at it 4 yrs? I think.
    I go to paid lessons each week now. I hate it. I practice daily for 30 min. minimum daily. Sometimes that’s fun. Following along to your videos is fun.
    I’m determined for some reason to be a drummer?
    I’m the old man version of the kid who hates his life and wants out of a small town he’s trapped in,playing to get good enuf to hopefully one day escape.
    Only I’m old,made few bucks,but still want out,hope the drums make it happen.
    Thanks again for putting time and effort into teaching people you may never meet.

    I'm on day three of drumming and I can already do the second beat with the snare and ride and I've even been able to add in some ghost notes, swap between the first and second kick pattern, eng I'm working on adding a paradiddle in. Like I feel like I actually have some control of the drum kit and it's the best feeling in the world. Seriously I can't thank you enough.

    Exercise 3 almost broke my poor beginner soul. Seeing it written down really helped. The i broke it down into really slow motion, counting out loud each beat, doing even just 1/4 of the bar over and over to just prove i could do each individually. Finally able to play it with my hands going to. Now to get the metronome out and slowly build up speed.

  • @ShadowXero

    Rob, I’ve been a subscriber for a long time now and enjoy opening my email just to find another great video from you. You’ve helped me a lot over the years but I think in my opinion your wrong on not needing a pdf on some of your exercises; personally I need to look at the notes just to burn them into my head if that makes sense. I can watch some drummers play something great but find it hard to duplicate it if I don’t have the notes.
