Thanks Mike great lesson. Great tip about counting buzz rolls ... I'd love to see a lesson from you on counting buzz rolls in different time signatures.
This is cool. I started doing this in the early 90s instead of doing the 5 stroke on the snare, I got lazy and did it between the hi hat and snare. Thanks for bringing this up!
Hi Mike, big fan! Your channel helped me grow a lot as a drummer. I wanna share a little problem I have with my drumming and in specific soloing: I feel like I have collected a nice vocabulary over the years and I can flow endlessly in triplets and 16th. That said, I'm still not stasfied with my solos as they don't make a lot of musical sense. I would greatly appreciate if you made vidoes about how to make solos that are musical. Thanks!
Great video Mike! So is it a 5 that is played on the background track right after your clap at the end? Sounded like 3 HH 2 Kick But maybe I'm crazy 😅 Anyways - killing it as always my friend!
Yes and no. For me, it’s a sound that originated from a 5-strike roll. These are small licks that I can swap the traditional 5-stroke roll out for. I hope that helps your friend :)
Hey Mike. I was wondering if your Groove freedom book is still available. I used to have the app, and I loved it. That book is one of the best books I have used while practicing.
Damn, forget practicing, you made getting up early sound fun. I want to wake up at 4:30 am and get really excited about an idea I have had. Harrrr-ye-gah Mike. Thanks. :)
Oh my!! 😍 how awesome is this. And i 100% agree, the fact that after 20 years on tube you are still buzzing with excitement when an idea for something new to teach comes to mind is just awesome! Love it mate 👊
Cool Mike! Thanks... I do random combos of these 3 different sticking variations all over the toms+snare which create some wild permutations, while keeping a 4 on the floor pulse underneath. I found it good for improving leading with my weaker left hand and flows nicely in and out of a paradiddle diddle for added complexity. RRLLR + LLRRL RLRRL + LRLLR RLRLR + LRLRL
MIKE. Long time....Good stuff...I've been playing for 60 years, and teaching for 40....I love this stuff!!!!!!.....Between Ed Shaughnessy and Jim Chapin I've been a lucky drummer.....
hey mike thanx so very much! im a drummer and totally appreciate the rudiment breakdown. speaking of which.. whats the cymbal breakdown size n models for this video? love them tones. thanx again
We call those Variation #1 Roll Figures at 2:37 "Jelly Rolls" in the marching percussion world. They're SO MUCH fun to play and listen for in a groove. BRAVO! 💪😎
My favorite, musical drummer. A lot of your teaching reminds me of when I used to learn from my teacher; Awesome methods, educational, with efficient technique.
After nearly 20 years of watching your content, knowing you are waking up at 4 am to make new content means your passion has only grown larger, I love that Also spice level at 4:20 was propppperrr. My Face stanked.
Variation #2 has Steve Gadd vibes 😎

Super nice! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing...👍🥁
The best of the best!
Love it! I'll give it a try. Mike always showing how to put your pad rudiments on the kit hehe
Great lesson, as always, btw

Thanks Mike for getting up that early for us! I really like your 5 Stroke Roll ideas. Great content! Cheers!
How do you count a 5 stroke roll in a 4/4 bar? Or is more "felt" than counted?
hi whats the metronome ? looks nice
Thanks for this lesson. It’s exactly what I needed to help get me out of a rut.
Those all came together very nicely for me, Mike! Thank you for the share!🫵🏼👍🫡
The energy coming through the screen from you in this video is palpable.
My favourite rudiment … and I love a candle, so here goes 🥁 🕯️ 😍
Great video Mike!

Anyways - killing it as always my friend!
You are amazing! Thank You very much, a hug from Argentina!
Is it really considered a "roll" though if do it with hands / feet combination? Asking for a friend : )
Yes and no. For me, it’s a sound that originated from a 5-strike roll. These are small licks that I can swap the traditional 5-stroke roll out for. I hope that helps your friend :)
Awesome playing man.
Well explained. You have really excelled in You Tube production as well.
What metronome app are you using?
Hey Mike. I was wondering if your Groove freedom book is still available. I used to have the app, and I loved it. That book is one of the best books I have used while practicing.
Not sure how I missed this post, but once again, you have the incredible ability to turn simple and rudimentary into the sublime. Thank you.
What do you call RRLRR LLRLL 🖤
Ahrrreee.
Hi Mike, I see in myheritage that we are relative. Could we have a contact?
5:28 I needed that solo to go on for another 10 minutes daaaaang
I'll definitely bring the third one into my playing! It feels like a single pedal cheat code lol
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Stupid question…are you playing these 5 notes as 16 note triplets, skipping the first note? (As opposed to 5 over 1)!?
Damn, forget practicing, you made getting up early sound fun. I want to wake up at 4:30 am and get really excited about an idea I have had.
Harrrr-ye-gah Mike. Thanks. :)
LOL! Hell yes. Let's freaking do it together bro!!!
Oh my!! 😍 how awesome is this. And i 100% agree, the fact that after 20 years on tube you are still buzzing with excitement when an idea for something new to teach comes to mind is just awesome! Love it mate 👊

Spreading it over multiple instruments is new to me.
Interesting.
I always love your choices on the drums. The real art is in your taste my friend. ❤
