"Masters are masters because they remain students"
Love it Rob 👍
« Albanian unicorn wood » 😂😂
By far the best sounding wood for your drums!!!
🦄 🪵
Also an excellent band name! 😆
The Albanian unicorn tree is officially extinct! Too many unicorn trees were logged.😭
Finest tone on ANY drum !! Albanian Unicorn ..... for the discerning drummer !
Hi Rob, this is exactly the point. Sometimes we should do the same in our lives - don't think too much and don't take ourselves too seriously.
I’ve been drumming for 27 years. He’s right.
I will say exactly the same thing...Rob is right. Just keep playing and enjoying. Dont ever get discouraged bc you encounter a better drummer...just appreciate and use it as inspiration to teach yourself new skills.
Have fun!!! Playing drums is so much fun just keep playing ( no matter what “haters and so called “Experts “ are saying) Trust me they will Always think they know more than you.....
35 years here and totally agree.
As an older cat this is one of the best drum tips videos for up and comers that I've seen on UA-cam.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY has ever accused me of thinking too hard before. So, thanks for that Rob.
Your so lucky maybe I should move else where, is haters in Orlando much coz I'm from the other side of the🌍planet✌️cheers that's the Coolest thing I've herd all day.
@11:30 "JUST ENJOY THE PROCESS" - sage words from Rob Brown.
"When you hit 'em with a stick, they're going to sound like drums."
Rob, I think you just provided the BEST advice on the ENTIRE internet with that statement.
I am a guitarist primarily. I recently got back into drums after about 10 years of no playing at all. I’ve appreciated your videos. They’ve helped me stay inspired to jump behind the kit a bit every day.
Then you have come to the right place, with the right guy. Beatdown is the inspiration!
Excellent videos n advice we all need to follow..ty Rob
As a drummer who recently took up guitar. Thanks for the inspiration!
just dusted off the guitars during the pandemic in 2020, due to the loss of my best friend who played guitar. Two years on, and my whole family has been learning how to play drums together! We have healed through the power of making music as a family. Thank you for your incredible teaching and guidance on your channel!
Guitars are fun (I've played since I was a kid) but DRUMS RULE!!
I'm weak in English, but I understand you very well. I like your style, humor and life position. Watching your channel is really funny. You are great drummer and blogger. Thank you for your videos
Your English is good 😎👍☺️
Rob, you taught me how to tension my toms and kick instead of “tuning” and for the first time ever they ALWAYS sound fantastic ! Bless you, man ! 👍🏻
Playing for 20 years, took a 8 year break. Now I feel like a kid again, loving the journey and those little victories. Just enough the moment. Great channel, discoved you a couple months ago. 🥁
you're in the right place!
No more breaks this time! In all seriousness I'm glad you picked up the sticks this time
James, I wholeheartedly Agree with you. You said it Right!! I'm 70 yo, retired, and "resumed" playing drums after 50 Years. I didn't play since our HD Buddies Garage Band disbanded in late 1969. Took initial lessons in 1966, maybe 6-8, and learned primarily By Ear with the Garage Band (which never got out of the garage). After disbanding, I lived in apartments with my parents, had nowhere to keep a drum kit (we called it Drum Sets in my day). So, after getting a Cheapo Gammon Kit form of all people , my wife of 45 years in 2019, I started to play again. I had to Shake Off a lot of Rust, but the basics came back pretty rapidly. I always played Air Drums. Now, I play about an hour each day to My Music : Petty, Beatles, Stones, Clapton, Mellencamp, CCR, Steve Winwood, some Motown, Rascals (Dino Danelli was my first Drum Hero {Ringo and Charlie Watts too} , The Animals, Hollies, Cars, Talking Heads, etc. I'll probably not be playing for other than Pure Enjoyment (hey you never know....a Geriatric Band could be in My Future , if the Arthritis doesn't finish me first), but find great pleasure getting to play successfully to any of these tunes , keeping proper time, and engaging with the Music. Playing gives Me a certain Satisfaction in Life. I tend to be a OCDish about many things, and I'm trying to Not let That Happen with playing Drums.... Rob's advice is well taken: Enjoy The Ride ..
Thanks, man - I'm trying to stay focused on being "musical" - and playing WITH and TO something - (drums as a solo instrument really don't do it for anyone for any significant amount of time)
My number 1 teacher ❤️ thank you for what you're doing Rob, I'm better drummer because you're my inspiration and I learn a lot from your lessons🥰
Yes! This right there! ☝️☝️☝️
Rob Brown is my best drum teacher of all time!
Another thing many people stress out about is taking breaks/not having any motivation. I've had entire months without picking the sticks up once and honestly, sometimes that's just what I need to refresh my motivation and then pick up where I left and keep going. It's okay! It does not destroy any of your progress.
Basically, just play the drums, man! I wholeheartedly agree! I've only been playing for about a year and a half, but I can't help but smile every time I sit down at the kit. Wish I'd started years ago. 🤟😎🥁
Man, I kinda needed to hear this. I especially like the point about wood types. I have what I consider a mid level Yamaha Stage Custom Advantage kit. Having to share my kit on tour, I've had so many compliments on how good they sound by guys that had way better quality kits. It's all in the tuning and heads! However, the one thing that Rob said that really brought it home is that drumming is a lifelong thing. I've been playing drums "off and on" for over 40 years. I learn stuff everyday from all levels of drummers. One game changer I learned recently is fulcrumming with your middle finger. I was always taught to fulcrum with my index finger! Using my middle finger as the fulcrum seems to give me more control and power. It was an eye opener! Anyway, thanks Rob for putting this out there. The best quote ever is "Masters stay masters because they're always students". I'm not sure I'll ever master drumming but I'm definitely a lifelong student
Amen to all of this!
It's like a vindication of the stuff I've dismissed throughout my life. When drummers get all focused on certain technical aspects, and I'm like "man, I've had my kit recorded so many different ways, you'll hear two different versions and swear it's not the same kit".
Once the kit is tuned, mic'd up, run through an EQ, all done by studio engineers, the wood type of your toms isn't going to have THAT much to do with the sound.
Rob reminds me so much of my first (1 of 2) drum teachers, and he used a 2 mic setup, one overhead, one kick. And he ended up playing with some pretty big projects (RIP).
Thanks for this great, great video!
"The more fun you have with it, the more succes you're going to have" should be the best advice for any situation in life, thanks Rob.
In my humble opinion, you are clearly one of the best drum teachers on UA-cam. I always get value from everything that you post, and I've been playing drums for almost 60 years. Thank you, Rob Brown!
"Enjoy the process of learning" Profound statement. I finally jumped in and started recording my own stuff, drums and guitar, had no clue what I was doing, did exactly as this man says, enjoyed the little victories and enjoyed the process. Still learning and having a lot of fun doing it. I can honestly say I've never enjoyed anything more in my life than learning music and creating my own. Your doing God's work here Mr. Rob Brown. I appreciate you.
Everything Just have to be Fun. Without Fun you can quit It. You said It. The best teacher ever.
Rob, I'm 67 yrs old been playing off and on since I was fourteen. There isn't one of those 5 things that I didn't over think along with hundreds of other things. Drove myself nuts and I still fall into the trap, there is always something else I will find to over think. The difference now is I realize I'm doing right away and pause for a few minutes and regroup and be patient .i will eventually be successful at what I'm trying to accomplish on the drums, even at my age, believe me when you get old you will over think that too. " am I to old to learn something new and challenging"Is my brain working to slow" "am I forgetting to much," are my hands and feet going to deteriorate soon." On and on. Nothing's really changed. When the student is ready the teacher will appear, just like you did Rob. Your the teacher I need now and because of that I'm playing at a higher level than I have ever played, all I had to is learn things I am still capable of. Rob your teaching me 90% of the complicated methods is a waste of time for guys like me and I'm getting a little short in that department. If it's to much trouble it ain't no fun. Being enlightened just means lighten up. KISS. That's what works for me
I needed to hear that. I'm a beginner and I've been playing for over a year now, and I overthink when it comes to practice time and what to practice.
This video should be posted in every social media drum group! The amount of time I see people debating about these topics that’s time they could be using to practice to get better! I love the part about wood it’s drives me nuts!!!
Needed to hear this Rob. Appreciate ya 🤘
Thanks for all you do
The one person who gave this a "thumbs down", is probably overthinking what Rob is saying.
RIGHT, lol
Good stuff. Will check out the tuning videos.
Love your channel Rob. Thanks for the tips.
Great vid man, totally agree.
Thank you very much really needed this!
Great stuff! Love your content!
This is part of many reasons why you're among my favorite drummers of all time. Many thanks, Rob!
Absolutely helpful mate...so true...your content always so valuable....
Love that you simplify everything, much appreciated Sir.
Thank you so much Rob! 💛💛💛
Hi Rob. Great topics and totally agree. Thanks
Once again you are spot on !
Always solid content Rob - much appreciated!!
Very well said, Rob. Good job.
You're so on point about shell material and all that. I see drummers online talking and arguing about shell material and drum brands and I find it so absurd. Drums are so simple and I never ever tell apart two drum brands if blindfolded. And I'm sure as hell when people listen to songs they will not be able to say if it's Tama or DW, or if it's birch or maple. Because they all sound the same. The heads, drum sizes, tuning, the room the drum is in, microphones, production, mixing and the player make all the difference when it comes to drum sound, And you can achieve any sound with any drums by working with those things.
Great video rob, thank you you so much
Awesome. Thanks!
Great advice thanks!
Yes!!! These are solid and invaluable truths. Masters stay master by being students. Deep thoughts.
Awesome!! Keeping it real. Love the beard too!
I always enjoy and feel encouraged watching your tutorials and your hoodie is fab!!
Totally spot on Rob! Great advice.
Love your content Rob! My fav drum channel on youtube!
That was the great video -you answered some of my questions, but most important time playing- im almost 4 years in. I love it because i have so much to learn
How!? How it is possible to make every single video so helpful, relatively short and interesting at the same time!? Magic...
Invaluable content and info Rob!
Thats what i like about your channel rob , no bullshit , been playing for 30 years , worked at steves music in mtl, and youre spot on , all the time. Great stuff man.
Its wonderful. I am just heart warmed by what you have said... Thank you. Bless you bro,.
yes Rob ! you are right just be yourself when playing your kit. I have been also been playing for over 50 years and everyone has there own style and the big thing I found do not try to copy other drummers and play.everyone has their own way of doing and playing. Learning everyday!
You are the man!! Thank you for everything!!
Yep. So true. Great video's. Newby drummer learning heaps. Thank you
This is what I needed rob thankyou so much your absolutely right
"The only thing that stops you from being a master is if you quit." Late but just had a gig I wasn't super proud of and really needed to hear this. Thanks my man.
“Just enjoy the process. . .”
Well said, Rob. Thanks for your words of encouragement!
A +20yr break, was overthinking everything, Cymbal type to how I was sitting on the throne.. Let it all go during this Pandemic... Made a 180 move away from overthinking/stressing in life period. I also stopped listening to music I know/knew. from when playing Tom Sawyer or fool in the rain to Watching you bye Slave, stroke for stroke meant you were a good drummer. Since the 1st lesson in 4th grade, all I've been doing is playing other people's work. I didn't learn to create. Now, I feel free to create.. Amazing what happens when we stop overthinking so much..
100% Amen to that, this is so true. I few years ago I realized myself that I always practiced replicating others rather than finding my own sound. It’s hard to explain but once I stopped overthinking and made it a goal to improvise, it’s turned my drumming around 180.
I'm so guilty of overthinking the Moeller method and practicing with Vic Firth Magnum sticks ( heavy sticks) in a continued effort to strengthen my weak hand and improve my playing in general and I'm grateful for your perspective on drumming because your lessons have helped me improve so, thank you Rob :)
“We’ve added 2 1/2 plies of Albanian unicorn wood”🤣🤣🤣
I’m looking at you, DW……
Great video as always Rob!
Thanks man you're the best 👌🏽💯
A phenomenal video!!!!! Thank you Rob. And getting a confirmation from you on my approach to practice time - priceless for me.
Thanks for the good advice; it is helpful
Some people like to make things seem complicated as a way to get people to turn over their money to learn “the secrets.” I appreciate the way you keep it simple and how you debunk the myths. You free people to create and to progress. (Don’t blush.) And the use of echo in this video was hilarious!
Rob, thank you for this advices!
I completely agree with what Rob says.
Especially the part about progress.
Great advice Rob! Always enjoyed the way you break things down.
Great advice and wish I had this advice when I started 40yrs ago. Your tuning videos are a must watch for all drummers and seriously made a huge difference to my approach to the drums.
You’ve been one of my main drum mentors over the years. Thanks my man.
really useful thank you Rob
I love you, man. Thank you.
I've been playing for 5 years. I definitely needed to hear your fifth point today.
Thanks coach 👍
Great video Rob!! BTW, that beat on your intro always gets me hyped.
Great advice!
Ooo wow! I have been playing drums in 48 years and you just said what i have been thinking for many years.
Thank's!🙂
Nailed it!
Have FUN!!!!! Don’t quit! The best advice ever !
Stop overthinking is a great advise in general. Always good advises in this house! Thanks for the passion and vibes you transmit in every single video you post.
The best and funniest video! You speak the truth man!
Very informative, appreciate your time.
Dude! I struggled for years trying to tune my drums to my liking. Every time I spent more time then I wanted to and ended up with a less than desirable tune. UNTIL I watched your three videos! I kind of shrugged at first but thought OK, I just got a new kit and need to put the heads on anyway, what the heck! Well, I am here to say, I HAVE MAXIMUM THUMPIFICATION! Lol … seriously, it took me no time to tune and I loved the resulting sound! Now, I look forward to all my Beatdown videos! Thank you sir for simplifying drumming! I doesn’t need to be that complex! 🤘🏻
Rob, I’m a DW guy, I have a DW collectors kit and a top of the line PDP kit, they both sound incredible and of course I’d choose my collectors kit for most situations, HOWEVER once you have the correct heads on the PDP kit it doesn’t sound much different than the 8k collectors kit, actually in some situations as outdoor gigs the PDP kit sounds better. I’ve never been into the whole tune your drums to pitch of the shell concept, I’ve always tuned to what my ears tell me, these turning gadgets will drive you crazy and take time away from your practice schedule. Hopefully younger drummers take to heart everything you’ve mentioned, every point you’ve mentioned is spot on! Great video brother!
Well said Dr. Brown!
Great advice
Thank you Rob. Great message. You are a mentor from afar.
Excellent video, Rob! I really appreciate everything you do for us.
Love your videos dude. Glad I came across them especially the tuning stuff 5 years ago when I started. Yep and still here, still playing and learning every day :)
My favorite teacher. Thanks Dr. Brown! 😀
Very informative, and so refreshing to watch a video that encourages simplification rather than over complication. Honestly, the 5th point had me let out a sigh of relief, "masters stay masters, because they're always students". Staying in love with the process is by far the most important aspect in the pursuit of mastering the un-masterable, an instrument, (in my opinion), thanks for this video!
Rob, this is gold! Thanks a lot for talking straight!
Hey Kat, ENJOY your Words of advice, thanks so much for the inspiration
great video, so true
👏 instantly one of my favourite of your videos
Totally. One thing helped me.. Learn other instruments, even better, write songs! After all, drums are one aspect of songs, and you'll really get a handle on where your drum style fits, and stop the dreaded over thinking. Love and respect!
What a great lesson!!!! Thank you for your time Rob!!! 😊
