Hi and greetings from Austria. I want to thank you for providing such genius videos. I try to learn them all and I get always motivated watching you playing

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thank you for your comment. I'm very happy to hear that you are finding my videos helpful. Please share them with your other drummer friends. God bless, John X

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thanks. I never get tired of this fill. I'm glad you like it.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thanks again Joao. I'm very happy to hear you are digging my Jazz Fill lessons. You have a great weekend as well. The very best to you, JohnX

[@rigemeister]

I can't get over how great your cymbals sound.

[@bartschrieckvander1971]

John, your lessons are very inspiring! People must know that you have more than 40 video lessons in the member area of your website. I 'm a year member and for me it sure is worth the money. For the price of two half hour lessons at the music school you get 41 video lessons! All amazingly easy to practice and play along and perfect for a Jazz drummer. Especially your last new lesson in the series on Elvin Jones triplets is great! Since the SVDL video number is now also printed on top of the transscripts each video can be quickly found for practicing. I binded the transcripts devided per subject. Thanks!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thanks Bart. I'm glad the lessons have been helpful. Thanks a million for sharing. JohnX

[@Mahavishnu80]

snare and ride together at end.. very useful. I like your little smiles.

[@DJ2112BassStation]

So I found your channel like 7 hours ago. I woke up and my girl wanted to go get breakfast... Instead I'm watching these tasty fills as she just said: "What? Do you a new drum hero?" And I said "YES!" Fantastic channel Sir!

[@Fsoso2000]

Hi John !! Your leassons are incredibles ! You explain everything very clear. Thank you very much for publish these videos. Hope you continue showing us the art of drumming. Best regards from Uruguay

[@Jviss]

[@tavaresjoo]

Thank you John i will go to the part3 Jazz Fills but i am working the part2 to for more consistence until next week.Have a nice weekend.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Yes, this is very useful. The snare and ride together is a technique that the great jazz drummer, Colin Bailey shared with me.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thank you Jack. I will be releasing a new lesson on March 18. JohnX

[@bobcropsey2550]

This is a fun one, maybe my favorite.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thanks. I'm glad you're diggin' the fills and like my channel. Keep watching, JohnX

[@Schmeng7]

Another excellent explanation sir. I can see this will open up a lot of creativity in my playing. Thanks so much!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

That's the point of these videos. Once you open those doors the the ideas really start to flow. Enjoy.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

You are very welcome. Glad you like the lesson.

[@blazer306]

Brilliant, I can't wait for your next lesson! Thanks again John.

[@zepgen8]

[@Gev1]

[@GUSTANO7]

GENIUS THE VIDEO LESSON AND EXCELLENT EVEN YOUR BOOK Style Creative Studies For The Drummer

[@Flexapr]

Great stuff, John X! ThanX.

[@fp387]

John is the left hand hitting doubles between the right hand? Nice sounding grooves!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

FP, no. The sticking throughout this video is RLFOOT. I hope this helps. Thanks for your comments. Be sure to watch the other 3 video lessons in this series. All the best, John X

[@fp387]

Thanks John! Now it sounds a lot better!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

@@fp387 , excellent! Glad it worked out. All the best, John X

[@mladenbaresic5172]

bravo!an excellent drumming.....

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Gustano, I'm glad you like this lesson. And...thank you for purchasing my book, "Style Creative Studies For The Drummer" and my video drum lesson transcriptions. Best wishes, JohnX

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thanks. Glad you like it.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

I'm right handed so I like to lead this pattern with my right hand. It works fine with a left hand lead, but will sound slightly different. Check out Dave Weckl's triplet section in my book, "Essential Drum Lessons with The Greats". In his lesson, he offers a variety of triplet variations with a few of different sticking options.

[@tdrum21]

Sounds great. What kind of hats are those?

[@rafaelferrer1]

GREAT EXERCISES , YOU HAVE THIS VIDEOS IN DVD OR BOOK THANKS RAFA F COHEN

[@josephmonaco7417]

John I notice you lead the triplet with your right hand, will this pattern work if i lead the triplet with my left hand, that's great stuff Thanks

[@tavaresjoo]

Nice!! Wich model is your Gretsch drum here ?

[@hawkrider88]

John, This crossing the bar line material is very helpful. However most of what you are doing here is still "in tempo"...and fairly easy to count and find "one". What about fills that are really outside the tempo of the tune...how does one learn to not get lost and more importantly...come back in on one? I hate to memorize all my fills and would like the freedom to play whatever I want (with good musical sense) but not get lost or even lose track of how many bars I've played. Thanks!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Figure out your fill concepts at home, perfect them, then try them when playing live. The concepts I've laid out are just a starting point. Also, transcribe solos and 4's from the jazz masters, learn what they played, then develop your own ideas from there.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

The bass drum lands on the last note of the triplet.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

K Zildjian 14" hats

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thanks for your comment. Have you checked out "Jazz Fills - Part 3"? There's some fun stuff there as well.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

I bought them brand new in 1984.

[@jerryrudd4723]

Is that a Gretsch kit??? I own a Gretsch and it sure looks like one!!!

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Yes. That is a Gretsch kit I bought in 1984. Love it.

[@QuinnTube2]

Where exactly does the bass drum play?

[@SlayerDeth1981]

This was good, but Steve Fisher's triplets sounded a lot better in his video. But this was way more helpful, because of the explanation on the theory

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

Thank the people at Zildjian.

[@JohnXDrumLessons]

I don't have the video on a DVD or a book. However, you can go to the "Video Lesson" link on my website and purchase the transcription.

i typed “john x“ and looked for some homestuck shippings and the first thing i see is “john x drum lessons“ wow

[@danielleppert8223]

Anybody that wants to add me on facebook and give me drumming advice? I've been drumming for seven years, I have most things down. I switch between rock and jazz a lot so I have issues with doing longer jazz solos...

[@DJ2112BassStation]

@DJ2112BassStation *have* whoops... ;)
