    "I feel like he plays drums as a joke" perfectly encapsulates Louis Cole's style. He just makes it all seem so effortless.

    Love your content, and i love to see you work. I started to learn these louis cole beats like 2 weeks ago. one thing to work on (moeller triples), it helps A LOT. on all those triples on the cymbals and on all those ghost notes. Keep it up!

    • @FernandoCuadro
      @FernandoCuadro 3 роки тому

      @@BrandonScottDrums to be fair having good moeller triples it's half the work, because he does that weird thing that is start the triple on the "a", so the beat lands on the middle hit of the triple. that fucks your brain. because we use triples as one motion at fast speeds, but at the same time we need to feel that middle hit on the beat. so i practice that very slowly with moeller, because the ear is king even if you have great technique (which i dont think i do).

    @andrewbarrett1537 2 роки тому +1

    Since you don't want to switch hands, you might want to switch feet. The way the human body works (blood flow, nerve connections etc), these beats might be easier if you're playing with (for example in beat 1) the kick and ride on OPPOSITE sides of the body. Notice that Louis Cole is using his LEFT hand for the ride etc but his RIGHT foot for the kick. So you might want to use your right hand for the ride but LEFT foot for the kick etc. This may also make the other drumbeats easier.

  • @andrewbarrett1537
    @andrewbarrett1537 2 роки тому

    I don't know if this is true yet or not, but I have a theory that the circulatory system of left-handed people actually circulates the blood in the opposite direction (well, not exactly, like the kidneys, liver don't work OPPOSITE), i. e. 'flipped' or mirror-image, so that, for example, fresh blood first goes to the dominant hand (right, for right-handed people; left, for left-handed people) and then around and later to the non-dominant hand (the other one). So the pathway is different and this causes handedness. Again, *supposition*. I'm not sure it actually works like that. Would appreciate someone with more knowledge weighing in on this.

  • @richarddalbis3323
    @richarddalbis3323 3 роки тому

    Doing these beats in the open handed position is always superior. Try transitioning away from cross sticking. Besides you'll NEVER get it to sound right. Learn to do things in the open handed position UNLESS the syncopation is extreme that your weak side can't do it at high speed. Also GET a Remote hi hat.
