I just ordered my first sticks and practice pad. 51 year old 🤣😂
GIT IT 🤘🏽
Hello from Japan! 51, you're just a kid. My pad arrived yesterday and here I am ready to go at 71. Onegai shimasu, Rob-san.
You won't regret it. Good man.
rei maida that’s awesome to here, I hope you do well! You should post some videos of you playing for feedback :)
Been a guitar player 40yrs, picked up my first pair of sticks at 55 ,wish I'd done this earlier
"If you're having trouble doing this, maybe you should try guitar." You're killing me! lol.
lol
Lol, yah! And maybe consider bass?
I was about to turn off the video until he said just kidding. xD
Lol it's a good thing I play guitar
Coming from the guitar I found that hilarious.
After almost 40 years of not playing drums and trying again my wife bought me a beautiful gretsch set for my birthday it's like starting over again it's not like getting on a bike and riding after you than off a bike for some years. Rob has the discipline and determination to help everybody who wants to play this instrument I Am very grateful to him and thank him and will continue watching him for inspiration and help Because as you get older you're not as agile as you used to be. I'm in my sixties and I want to play drums again and I am not going to let anything get in my way Thanks Rob
Don't let that woman get away!
I'm more agile than I used to be more of a matter of if just stop doing things and then do you like a cripple with no muscular development
Doing the same. 20 years. Kept a custom Pork Pie snare built in 1998. Just ordered parts to repair it and I’m on the road to recovery
hows it going so far?
@@Rmachine91 pretty good thanx again Rob
And body else go "YES!!!" when they get one of these right, even slow it's not easy.
I've been playing for years and these exercise really show up your weaknesses (my left hand is shocking). It will keep me busy for weeks these.
8:00 - Exercise #1
10:00 - Exercise #2
12:10 - Exercise #3
thanks so much!
My drum weakness:
Drumming.
😂😂
Hey. Other than the hi-hat, the snare, the toms, the kick drum and the cymbals, I'm amazing!
😂😂😂😂💕
I've drummed my entire life. Drum line, kit, band, jazz, all that. easily the most instructive video i've seen. Thank you my man. you, and i don't use this word lightly... are a GOAT.
Man, you are a natural born drum teacher! Your videos are excellent...
You are an excellent instructor
I'm attempting to learn drums as a 30 yr old so this video has been the most helpful in starting. Thanks
no worries you'r not alone on that path ;)
Same 👍🏻
Wow look at us. Haha.
im 38 and just got my first e-drum kit today :)
@@Excalibure666 You should get ezdrummer if you can. It sounds better than any other the modules that come with electronic drums.
Beatdown Brown, Im a professional drummer and your lessons are top notch even for a guy like myself....it is always great to go back to the basics and rebuild. Love it dude!
Aaron Dozier
That is the benefit of teaching stuff!
Exactly! Couldn't agree more.
Even Randy Rhoads when touring with Ozzy would go take a guitar lesson from some no-name someone who was local to the city they were in. That shows true class, willingness to learn, and a vision to a wide variety of skill.
Neil Peart never stopped taking lessons
@@psychochicken9535 Better to be a no name someone than to be a nobody!! Which is the truth I mean in music there are those who are no names that are professional players and then there are the amatures. If indeed Randy Rhoads did take a lesson from that type of player than I applaud him for that.
it sounds easy but the more you play it you realise how difficult it is to be completely even
Yess hehehe
We got another one boys
...and then many of your favourites are ruined
At age 50 plus, with over 90days in. Your video's have become an essential part of my new drum life. Thanks for all of your dedication to us learning to play later in life. Your a wonderful teacher.
This relatively simple exercise literally just exposed all my weaknesses and inconsistencies 🤦🏻♂️ very very humbling! Thanks Rob, I get easily overwhelmed by having too much material to work on, this is has given the focus I need 💪🏼
H
I'm with you.
Watching the close-up consistency of the height of the sticks is impressive. Such a consistent sound.
Thanks Rob. God bless you and your family.I've been playing 43 years and I can still learn!!!✌🏻👊🏻😎
Rob, you are an awesome instructor and drummer. You are a master communicator.
Hey Rob, I just starting taking drumming seriously, and your channel has been an amazing resource.
I think you manage to boil things down to the essence, a great teacher even from a screen! Thanks!
This is THE BEST exercise I have seen on UA-cam - I am loving it. Practiced these a few times today - already improving. I find going back to the doubles after the syncopated section the most challenging - hard to relax enough to get a nice even double bounce after playing the accents.
Thank you!
Love your videos...no fluff and wasted filler..just teaching to the point. Thank you.
God bless you Rob...Your videos for drummers are so helpful !!
Great lesson. I'll have some of that for my first approach to drums this year. I mainly play guitar but this is so helpful. Cheers Rob.
Thanks for these exercises Rob 👊 Practice pad is ordered and on the way...2020 is going to be the year my drumming improves 10 fold! 👍😃
Love your channel! Even the “pattern” is a killer chop builder in itself!
I wish you all the best in this 2020. And yes, I am in the process of accepting my weaknesses too, and you sir, are so helpful to accomplish the improvements. Thanks again for your efforts, sincerely. Cheers from Ecuador.
been playing by ear and freestyling for 4 years now; I'm 52. Your videos are really starting to bring things together for me. thx Rob!
Hey Rob! I've been doing this exercise for years, and it really helped me a lot. That's why I was so excited when I saw you teaching it on this video. Now, what I did with the first half (single strokes) of the exercise is I broke it down to 4 parts:
1 measure of single strokes
1 measure of double strokes
1 measure of single strokes
1 measure of inverted double strokes... Then to the pattern.
Again, props to you BeatDown Brown!
From Palawan DrumLab, Philippines!
Hey man, just wanted to come back to this video and thank you for it. I’ve been putting off rudiments, and this really got me focused in- thanks for all of your great content 💪🏻
Love these drills! Thank you for showing the sticking, it makes this so much easier to practice.
Excellent lesson and advice, Rob. Instead of doing lots of different things just a little better, most of need to focus on doing fewer things *much* better.
Absolutely love this exercise , kills 3 birds one stone , rudiments,accents and ghost notes ,,love it !!!!!
Always great stuff Rob. After drumming professionally 49 years, I still like to keep myself in check. Your channel is one of my pit stops to freshen up.
This is great Rob! I like that your lessons are always super in depth and informative but also laid back at the same time. Cheers from one drummer teacher to another. You rock Rob!
I've been working on these for the last 2 weeks on my pad and I am really seeing a vast improvement in my left hand.
I'm in my zone at 120bpm for the moment up from 90bpm in the first week.
Thanx Rob. You are the best!
These rudiments are killer! 👍
Exactly!
Rhythms like this feel like music to me. Most rudiments don't have a groove to hang out for very long. This is tremendous. Thank you. Subbed.
tis.
I love these! Exactly what I need to work on. Thanks so much for the insight!
Your videos more then ever helped shape my hands last year. I can’t thank your advice enough. I applied your experience and I am hell of a better drum
I find it not so easy do this rudiment while keeping the 1,2,3,4 beat count on the left foot hi hat and maintaining all the rudiment accents and dynamics.
Anyway great exercise and even more challenging while keeping the beat on the hi hat. thanks Rob.
Start slow you will get over time.
."..maybe you should try guitar." Spoken like a true drummer. Great exercise Rob !
The best, most practical drum instructor on the web. The best!!!
Another clear, practical, and well-presented lesson from Mr. Brown. This channel never disappoints.
I’ve been a guitarist for 53 years, and decided I’m going to try something new. I subscribed, and I’m just going to work on the very first exercise only, and then try whatever you did next…. I’ll be happy to just play the first exercise smoothly!
I had to learn paradiddles just to pick up the exercise. Mostly got it down but not at a blazing speed-enough for a white belt drummer. Going from straight alternating paradiddles to doubles with paradiddles is tough (at first, anyhow)!
Great video!
I don't know how anybody could dislike this vid man..of course there's tons of stuff to practice out there but this is a simple basic path to righteous drumming.. thanks for all you do Rob!!
Rob, you are awesome as always.
Thank you. Those exercises helped.🤘
Most crucial part Rll-Rll-Rll-Rll-Paradiddle/Lrr-Lrr-Lrr-Lrr-Paradiddle
Rlrr Lrll
Yes, thank you very much. Seems the Sticking text is incomplete in the video
Yeah, this is what i was missing :-)
But what is paradiddle?
@@stefunkypunky116 Lrll (Big Letter for accent, hit harder here) and Rlrr. This is a paradiddle
@@florianinside5666 Thank you very much, pal :-)
Thanks my drum instructor wants me to spend more time on double stroke roll, especially left hand.
You have a gift Rob...demonstrating with an in-depth finesse of 'teaching' and not just -showing or 'do it like this' - style. Love the way you associate learning with BENEFITING..because that's the only way to instill perseverance and get better on the drums.
I dislocated my right shoulder so I'm getting over my injury and this will help me get back to playing the drums!!!
Thanks Rob!!!💪🏾
THE BOOK OF BEAT DOWN..LOVE IT!!! 😂💪👊
Love your stuff. Any chance you can do something on counting - not the same as timekeeping per se, but simply counting in your head while playing, as the 'noise' can get loud in my head. In particular, between 4-and & 1 I sometimes lose it, particularly with a fill. And yet this is where groove starts. My favourite drummer is Simon Phillips (Rob, you're no.1 educator by far) , who if you watch closely is always counting, and when it's 33/8 you know it's a skill that needs nailing.
Great teacher and delivery with humour. Makes a world of difference.
Really appreciate this exercise…. Captures many disciplines without having to practice separate rudiments. Thank you Rob.
Straight outta the Book of Beatdown!
I still do your exercise with the Swiss army triplets at 120 in a 4 over 3 feel for 5 minutes.
Thanks once again, Rob.
Your doubles lessons really made me nail it. 🙏🏽
I just found your channel and this video and I love both. I kept thinking that this was made in January of this year and you mentioned 2020 and how at the time none of us knew what this year would hold. Great work and keep it up.
Rob, I’ve been watching your videos for about a couple of years now, you personally taught me to tune my drums easily to even getting that maximum thumpification out of my bass. It’s ironic because I just received my practice pad early this week and been using it daily. I will commit to these 3 rudiments even after mastering them. While you were showing us these 3 important rudiments I was thinking how great it would be to incorporate them around the kit. I know you’ve done videos on rudiments before but this one rocks. Thank you.
Yeah I caught myself thinking ahead,and incorporating The Toms ,and even kick..
I tuned my Tom's, floor Tom's and kick to his videos too. Never sounded better!🤘
I love your tutorials. Have been picking up your lessons. Thank you Rob. God bless you. I am 58 years old but enjoying my drumming which is my passion.
Have learnt all the 3 rudiments. Have to achieve clarity and speed with practice have sent you the video to you on Instagram. Would appreciate your feedback.
I’ve been playing for a while. Your lessons are incredibly practical! And fun!
Thanks to you I conquered (okay, almost) the Purdy Shuffle, and these 3 rudiments have been awesome. I was working Dawson’s Rudimental Regiment, and use all the classic books from Morello to Chaffee to Plainfield...but Rob, you bring it right home, where I live, and play. Combing what you teach with my other studies has been immeasurably helpful! Thanks again.
Oh. Our little band opened for a much bigger band this Saturday, in front of 4,000 people, and studying what you’ve been teaching for a couple years...man, it really helped power me through the gig, with a little extra poise!
😎👍
thanks for this! i love listening to your drumming and trying to learn!
Getting me addicted to my practice pad, boss!!
Holy I'm _so_ addicted.
Facts lol
I've been playing drums for 18 years with zero lessons. I've learned at some point you need that technical training. I started with a beginner's practice book and basically started from the beginning. Its tightened up my timing big time.
Just found this series. Excellent breakdowns with instruction. Keep up the good work!
Rob, Thanks for your wonderful contributions. Your teaching skills are truly amazing, informative and inspiring!
I don't even play percussion, but this is so interesting. Maybe I should start. Y'know, 2020. Let's see how the neighbours feel about it.
Cool exercise man. Once you get it down with your hands, you can also apply them to your feet.
Thanks for this lesson. I'm really building strength in these rudiments after a few days. I also added a round of triplets with the RLL/LRR pattern to my routine.
all of these are amazing! only 3 days of practicing them and i already feel an improvement. Thank you, Rob
Thanks for this, Rob. One of my goals for this year is to become a better drummer. Part of my plan to execute this goal is to commit to a daily rudiment routine, which I've never really done.
I followed your advice from your previous video to focus solely on the single, double, and paradiddle. But I've struggled to put any real structure around it and I need something to keep it interesting. Hopefully, this does the trick.
Just curious, what metronome app are you using?
That is a fantastic rudiments practice exercise, I like it sound and beats, I don't owe any drum sets, but I love to learn how to play drum, I have to start practice on pad and build some coordinate and technique for start, this sound has a great vibe to it...I'm Dig it!
love you rob thank you so much for the video man
You are by far my favorite teacher, something about the way you teach I just pick up so easily compared to the others. And thank you for teaching me how to tune my toms!!
OMG, 4 days playing exercise #3, and I’ve already made more progress with my paradiddles than during 2 months just playing plain paradiddles
This is a great exercise. I have a similar one that I play when warming up.
8 note pattern RllRllrrLrrLrrll
Rob, one thing I'd like add as a suggestion to all who watched this video, these patterns you just showed us could also be played with feet. Maybe even at the same time as hands, in unison or with right hand lead and left foot lead for a challenge
Couldn't help thinking the same myself.
I do something similar. The rudiment on my hands while playing it half time with my feet. Rlrl rlrl (as 16ths) along with r l r l(as1/8ths). I straighten out to just a half time rlrl when playing the syncopated part. This is fun once you get to the paradiddles!
@Cheryl Graham Basically, take the first 5 exrecises in Stick control (includes single stroke right and then left lead and the the same with double strokes). When playing the right lead double stroke ie rr ll, play a rr ll half time with the feet. Basically, it is a variation on simon Phillips exercise where he plays a paradiddle in his hands and plays one half time with his feet at the same time. Change to a regular rl with the feet when playing the syncopated bit. I always like to use my feet while exerciseing my hands, so I am always looking for easy ways to keep them occupied while I practice my rudimants with my hands.
that would crack me up
Those are double stroke triplets
Rob you’re absolutely right I just got my 6 stroke roll down and up to speed and found that it was easier than a paradidle meaning up to speed. I found that it’s all about the motion and also found myself playing differently as you have stated in video. The smoothness and how I do my fills now it just happened!!!! Man can’t thank you enough I’ve learned so much from your tutorials!!! Would love to meet you one day so I can shake your hand brother, once again thank you.
Dude, you are such a natural teacher! Thanks very much for this, this is amazing and so simple. A great teacher like you makes any difficult thing seem like it's achievable, even to an amateur like me! Thanks again!
Being a physical therapist and a drummer , I love that you are talking about posture. During your rudiments, try not to keep the forward head posture for too long looking down at the snare drum. This will strain the back of your neck and cause you to slump sit and strain your low back. Use your peripheral vision and tuck your chin to look at your hands. Thanks for all your hard work and education, keep it it up.
Me at 4 am :
Rob Brown : "Grab your sticks and do this."
Me until 5 am : drrrrdrrdrrdrrrr FLOW, CREATIVITY AND SPEED ARE COMING
THANK YOU as always 🙏🙏❤
Dorian Clini hahaha
So Funny! Me too at 5am, that's when it sinks in. Great drummer comeback, "If you're having trouble doing this...." Rob, you make it so fun to get better, know all the tricks to keep it simple and the results are so rewarding, I just want to keep getting up early and practice! Thanks man, you rock
wut
Listen! This exercise is so profound, I MUST support. Seriously! I owe you, man. Thanks
This is fantastic my Brother, thanks for posting it...
Always looking for new rudiments to work on like these...
3 Excellent exercises and dynamically put together!! Let's go Syncopation Congregation!! 👊 😎
trust me folks....if you cant do THAT, DONT try a guitar.
😂😂😂
He shoots.... He scores!
Hahahaha!
Hahaha I'm pretty sure he was joking~
How about bass :)
Man, you're the guy!
Thank you very much for the lessons !!!
Always excellent, practical and understandable material in your vids, Rob...many thanks and keep ‘em coming!
i love this exercise,is very good for my clumsy left hand,sorry my english.
Same thing for me ,
I'm 63 and been playing all my life. I never had the patience to really prefect my rudiments with the speed needed to apply to the kit. I'm going to get a practice pad and devote time daily to finally getting this down. I know it will really take my playing to the next level. Thanks for the inspiration Rob.
I love this combo. I have been doing Rob-a-diddles non stop for two weeks, on my practice pad, steering wheel, desk. It’s fun on the kit to, using the bass drum as the metronome, playing it around the toms and snare, or playing metronome on Hi-hat, and Robadiddle on snare and kick
simply awesome Rob! So smooth at all tempos. Love it!!!
I mainly agree with this but I also think the 6 stroke roll should be practiced separately with the inverted 6 stroke roll too just because those sound really cool
Isaac Adams I use 6 stroke roll all the time i think it’s super important
Bro we using the same sticks the fire grain promarks I love them
Mark Crisp gorgeous sticks! 5A’s!
Another 30 year old starting after 25 years of guitar and your videos have single handedly made me a more solid drummer. Much appreciation for your continued content. This paradiddle exercise has helped me tighten up my LL so much. Thank you !
Love the Lessons! Watch your channel religiously! Been playing on/off for 38years an always learn something new!
As Virgil Donati is my Favorite all time drummer. His timing is NUTS!!! I believe his style is unmatched. An some of your lessons have helped me get closer to playing some of his beats/rhythms! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this Rob. I'm just learning and got myself sticks and practice pad to develop my hands and sticking, get my brain working right before I even sit at a kit. I can already feel how much this is going to help because I know what I need to do, but my brain isn't working right yet.
been watching you for 2,5 years, you rock
I've been playing drums for 50 years. I started off at 7 with a pair of sticks and a practice pad and my cousin showed me the basic rudiments. I was hooked. These exercises are awesome and I still feel like a kid when learning new stuff. Keeping it fresh!
What a wonderful workout. .I m gonna practice now. Thanks Rob..
This is sooo difficult! I can do this exercise when I'm just listening to the click... But as soon as I'm counting out loud or following the click with my feet its becomes impossible.
My weakness: committing to fixing a problem once I realize it’s there. And soloing
I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel. Played for about 21 hours per week when I first started at 16 for about a year and a half, then didn't pick it up again for about a decade. Lost a lot of speed in that time, but noticed I had bad habits to get that speed. Got a set a couple of years ago, but again started with the bad habits. I definitely wish I had a teacher like you back then. Currently working on your intermediate practices. I really like that these exercises have made me actually want to practice the right way. I will definitely be introducing these exercises to my daughter, who loves to play the drums, but just has the worst chops right now. She is 6 and has autism, so hopefully drums will be an outlet for her to be more expressive beyond words. Thank you for doing this. You gained a new subscriber. Cheers
Our son just turned 7 and your channel has been really helpful for him! I'm an electric guitar player but just picked up bass and drums to help and accompany/teach our son. Your lessons are fantastic
