Thanks for posting this video. It is helpful & useful.

I've had to take a 5 year break from drumming for medical reasons after 35 years. Re acclimating has been frustrating as I've tried to go to fast. I'm now taking your lessons online to keep me focused rather than trying to be what I was too fast! Thank you!

perfect page for beginners

Main takeaway from this video: Sounds really boring, and THATS a good way of not sounding really interesting ! 🤣🤣 Love your approach and the way you take the same concept (change dynamic and phrasing) to ANY rudiment. Really makes me see how far you can go with simple patterns.

Is he playing the kick wrong or am I crazy

I like the way you explain things. I'm definitely going to use the dropping sticks from the same and different heights to explain flams - maybe throw in a reference to Galileo dropping those stones off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, because I'm actually teaching a high school band drumline here in Canada. Many thanks!

What kind of felt caps (red clips) are you using in the video? Thanks!

Legend. Can feel the improvement already

Hi dave. I really find your sessions useful and scientific. However as a senior at 73 yrs old, i find your narration a bit fast. I would truly appreciate if you can slow down a little when explaining. Thank you for your guidance and inspiration!

Fantastic video, thank you for sharing. Do you have a full course which goes into more detail than this video does on how to develop your drumming flow to buy on your site? Cheers

Great technique, great tips and ideas for practice. Many thanks from another drummer/drum teacher. And the video was brief and to the point. Thank you so much for that too! 🙂

Cool! I know this pattern from the Middle East )))

Witty video!! I realise that I myself have also stolen things from Vinnie!!

Like!!!!😀😀😀

Thank you my friend

this is the best video on ghost notes. usually they'll say ghost notes are difficult to teach as it relies heavily on the drummer's sensibility and feel. But you just explained this where anyone can lock in

I studied privately with Alan Dawson for 1.5 years. His rules: beater is never buried. Good to know how to play heel up and heel down, always with toes relaxed and flat. Sit on the back of the throne to gain more leg support which reduces back strain. Develop good abdomen muscles so that the end result is your feet act like your hands. I also took 2 lessons with Tony Williams, who did not correct my style.

Huummm Sorry Dave but I'm not sure with your notation at 6mn05 ! I believe you finish by another Sticking. RLLRRL but may be I'm wrong.

Great !! Kool teaching Mister Major !! 🙏

Awesome lesson and much appreciated.

True

Nah Rtoms... WIll quiet it by 20%

I've been playing for over 30 years and I finally came out of the closet......I admitted that my left hand was super bad. I'll give this a go every day for 5 min sessions 3x a day. Busy life here

I take classes on an acoustic drum and study on an electric drum. Then I need to play very low volume and I can't. Any advice for studying how to lower the volume on the snare drum, for those who have an electric drum?

Great vid. Thanks. What kind of practice pad is that? Where can I get one?

Very nice. Dig these. Cool pad too

Actually, the paradiddle is an "interrupted" single stroke roll rather than a so-called " paradiddle. Somewhere along the rudimental way, drummers discovered the double stroke and applied it to the singles in many different applications. Then they decided to name the groups of notes as single double and triple paradiddles when they actually function to flip the hand sequence from Right lead over to the Left hand lead and then back again to the Right hand lead and so on. Any single group of doubles will flip the hand sequence over. Odd numbers of doubles will keep the lead hands flipping over while even numbers of doubles will keep the hands leading on the same hand. You can manipulate the order of your stickings simply by knowing this concept of flip flopping the lead hands via the use or interruption of the double stroke. Just another way of seeing and perceiving how drumming can and does really work as seen from another point of view.

What’s the tempo on the slow, medium and fast ones?

Nice. I've been putting effort into flow as a major focus point recently and this was a good watch. Especially the 3rd point, I have indeed been slowing down my rudiment practice and spreading it over the kit, including my feet. Cheers again 👍

I,ve actually just started playing again many years & my timing,hands are all over the place,gonna learn & practice these mate,looks & sounds unbelievable,cheers. 👌🏼👌🏼🎶🎶

I would like to see & hear more wooden parts in the construction!

Sounds very good Dave

Sounds very good 😊👍

This is great. Usually when I watch lick videos the licks are never orquestated in a way that I feel they could fit an actual song. You nailed it

WELL DONE SIR😂

Totally beyond!

My weak hand could not make paradiddle in quicker tempo. After 10 minutes of this exercise it just moves so much better. A miracle? I dont know, but this exercise really works

What kick drum and hi-hat are you are using?

Great

This is great Thank you Cheers

Hi dave. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills on drums. However sometimes i find the vocal playback fast cause im a senior at 72 but still love playing drums and adding new skills.

He said slow but it was still fast. LOL

I can't grab free PDF😢

Great exercises! In #2 - The double stroke roll, in the second measure there is the notation RRR, RRR, RRR, RRR and I think it should be: RRL, RRL, RRL, RRL :)

Took adhesive door knob stops and placed on back of both snare heads, then have the volume option of the Evan SoundOff mute pad.

This is a video of a left foot lesson, right? Why don't you show the left leg all the time? Even when the video is shot from above, I would like to see the left foot on the sub-screen.

Doing a rythmicial expresion spontaniously is more difficult with single strock especially when speeded up.Doing a double stroke the same. with verying rhythm takes some awareness,but play a paredidle with accents where you want ,mix it wifh your feet and play on diffdrent drums,like cross overs.Im known to be lazy so i will fiddle with paradidle.if attack is wanted,that takes clear and distinct....other accent approaches and awareness of what you can machani ially do on the things i front of you ,its still not far from kung-fu.
