I've been at a basic beginner plateau for two flippin' years. This was the most helpful video exercise I've come across to break through. It took me months and MONTHS (cuz I'm old), but I'm finally unlocking my limbs from safe & boring old habits and starting to explore the kit in ways I dreamt of. Don't give up on this excercise! -- especially if, like me, you feel your limb independence & coordination isn't improving and that you'll never get it. Trust in BdB.

[@maggisteele4342]

Me too ,

[@DrummerEric]

I’m getting back into it too and I can’t for the life of me get #2 to work for me. Number one and three were a one time and got it, but #2 IS LOCKING ME UP IN MY BRAIN AND I CANT SLOW IT DOWN ENOUGH TO GET.

[@DrummerEric]

I’m getting back into drumming and I’m 57 thanks for the helpful and encouraging comment

[@MrMctwisted]

Well it’s official. I suck. I thought I didn’t but I now realise I do. Thank Rob......seriously, for taking me out of my comfort zone rut and genuinely learning new exercises

[@j9vlikz683]

i have naturally good coordination and never really realized I did until I posted a vid and people told me I had really good coordination

[@axisci]

Don't worry bro you're better than me! I suck but don't care, love to play even if its horrible lol

*HEY Y'ALL!...If your hand and foot coordination is in the toilet...I can GUARANTEE YOU that these simple exercises will get it in shape! Cool, practical and most importantly...MUSICAL. Cheggit out!* 🔥😎🥁#AdmitAndCommit

[@axelbach3105]

I never taught my left foot to keep time and now... I'm having serious problems doing exercise two and three. I just can't separate my two feet for some reason. ARGH !... More practice required.

[@BEGIN1962]

Excellent exercise, lots of fun after the difficulties encountered at level 3. Thank's a lot!

[@raullopes6993]

Very good

[@Topbrass88]

I cant even do #2

[@markdemell3717]

I forgot to mention that my right hand still keeps wanting to follow my right foot but,that gives something to focus on .I remember my old hockey coach would all ways tell us to work extra hard on your weaknesses along with every thing else. My hands are real quick ,that's a plus .

[@michaelgrimm4689]

"Ain't no need for some PDFs"...love it.

I struggled with transcribing the third pattern in my head so here it is if needed: (1) e & (a) 2 e (&) a 3 (e) & a (4) e & a

You’re a life saver 😂

[@rebeccabrittain5138]

Yes thank you! Right hand and right foot were not playing nicely for me until I saw this written out.

Thank you!

I wish I knew what this means..I'm so very new.

[@starlightsign8666]

I love the way you mastered the drums to play the music.

[@brnktv]

I love how encouraging he is. Just like.. "It's just muscle memory, it can be fixed, anyone can do it, etc" Makes me feel way better, regardless if it's true or not. Great teacher.

[@robertdavis4916]

A year and a half of self teaching to your videos and I can only say thank you for unlocking my limbs for percussion therapy. The feeling you get when you finally nail the 3rd pattern is euphoric, courtesy of Mr. Brown. Thank you sir

[@aaroncole7736]

I been playing drums for 10 years without real knowledge of drums. I just bought my first kit. You are a life saver on retraining myself the right way. Thank you from Oklahoma.

[@itisnotreallythatimportant]

same dude but for me i've been playing drums for 3 years now. I am always get so jealous with those "My [insert number] year of drumming progress" videos because they develop so fast and here i am 3 years of playing i don't know what i am doin lmao.

[@memyselfandlewii8781]

I love your teaching videos. You are meant for this!

[@howardr.mitchell6324]

It's such a smooth high when I struggle through nice and slow and then finally get to the point where my muscles take over for my brain! THANKS RB

[@onemadamerican1776]

This is where I draw the line ! I go no further until I master these 3 lessons... I've been away from my drums for a year because my job... I quit my job!!! Hello drums... Mr. BROWN your a great teacher and a blessing to the drum community! God bless brother!

[@brianpersons6301]

Hi Rob, I have had such a difficult time with separating hands and feet and left and right over the years that at times i thought it may drive me crazy. I have to say that if I had met you way before now I would be a much better drummer. The way you explain things and the exercises you show are just fantastic. I feel like I have finally started to put some difficulties behind me thanks to your teaching abilities. Thank you so much !! Blessings, Brian

[@chinmaykalyankar1291]

The most genuine drum learning channel without ads. You're an inspiration sir. Appreciate all the efforts 🙏

[@sqjacks11jacks73]

I've been playing in the UK for over 20 years and taught by the late great Paul Brodie (BBC Big band)..Still learning and really enjoying these videos by Rob...highly recommend.

[@kwaku7991]

Hello

This is the Lesson I've been Dreaming of. Thank You.

[@starr_4593]

Truly thanks for everything that you do Rob! You're awesome bro, may God continue too bless you!💯🔥🔥

[@eedeath13]

Thanks Rob. My son got me my drum kit,I’ve been at it 4 yrs? I think. I go to paid lessons each week now. I hate it. I practice daily for 30 min. minimum daily. Sometimes that’s fun. Following along to your videos is fun. I’m determined for some reason to be a drummer? I’m the old man version of the kid who hates his life and wants out of a small town he’s trapped in,playing to get good enuf to hopefully one day escape. Only I’m old,made few bucks,but still want out,hope the drums make it happen. Thanks again for putting time and effort into teaching people you may never meet. Pretty noble cause sir. E

I am doing these exercises with my middle school Rock Ensemble drummers. They're getting it. THANK YOU!

[@gregwonhoff7161]

The thing I like so much about your videos is that you make me feel like I am right there with you sitting next to me helping me get better.

[@garylagstrom3864]

Excellent coordination using all 4 limbs plus gets the brain working with the body!

[@platupla]

I like how you tied in the last video with this one. I feel better with the hands exercise. Thanks, Rob!!

[@stefancristiean6160]

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you for making me a better drummer! Congratulations for those text add-ons, they're on point 🤙🏻. Can't wait to try these out on the kit. All the best 🤜🏻🤛🏾

[@hookster40]

Rob, thanks for the nudge! Been playing drums for a while now. But, I was lacking in my rudimentary skills. I took a few of your basic exercises and practiced my butt off. It's amazing what you can achieve when you put your heart into it. Thank you Sir!

[@nsough6551]

It took me around 4-6 hours (around 2 hours per day. I'm not crazy, yet) to process the last one and understand when I was supposed to hit my cymbal 😆. Thanks for the lesson

[@michaelloconti5511]

This one is perfect for my coordination problem! Your content is so versatile and exactly what I’ve always needed to get out of my drummers block! Thank you🤘

[@synthmage00]

Man, I can do these feet movements all day but as soon as I try to add a hand it sounds like someone threw the kit down a staircase. 😅 Look forward to getting lots of recurring views on this video from me in the future. Thanks, Rob!

[@GranpaMike]

Thanks, Rob! Excellent exercises for us newbies. You rock!

[@markshaneh]

Thank you for you input to my desire to learn the drums, you’re a good teacher ✌️

Awesome lesson brother. You always have practical advice that's easy to follow. If you ever do any clinic's in Oregon I'll do what I can to get there. Thanx much

[@cynthiakeyes7197]

Man you know this video has helped me so much to break it down I consider myself intermediate but I just flunked so I'm back to beginner class but hey I'm still motivated to work this exercises out until I can push thru! Thank you Rob for your help🤗👍

[@johnvoltolino8376]

Love your teaching style I get more out of your free videos then I've gotten in the past paying for lessons!..God Bless and keep well.

[@TheLordsDJ]

I thought I would never get the second and third beat, but once I got it down it changed the ability for me to pick up different beats. It also helped me to eye the hi hat and kick combinations and how to put them together to help play the beat smoothly. Thanks Rob.

[@pepperday_music9715]

Love this can’t wait to try it

HI ROB ! A BIG " THANK YOU " for your terrific Beginner Drum Lessons - I have watched them several times now and all the tricky stuff is broken down nicely by you and making it easier for me to follow.

Hey Rob, great lesson, I've been playing for close to 40 yrs. now. I still enjoy and learn from you almost every day. Question: What mixer and DAW are you using?

[@artemmarten]

Thank you! Couple of days and impossible becomes possible. Another cool exercise i figured out: paradidle on snare and ride, foots on hihat every second stroke, bass on 1, 4 and 6 stroke.

[@Alihsin]

Been trying to get the right hand on the ride for a few weeks now, I think I had a breakthrough last night! SO EXCITING. Definitely been the hardest exercise I've done so far.

Yea that 3rd pattern is killing me, been at for 3 days, still can’t get it yet

[@fjoiewafno]

Exercise 3 almost broke my poor beginner soul. Seeing it written down really helped. The i broke it down into really slow motion, counting out loud each beat, doing even just 1/4 of the bar over and over to just prove i could do each individually. Finally able to play it with my hands going to. Now to get the metronome out and slowly build up speed.

[@angeloc700]

Great video - thanks!!

[@mattbba8451]

Thanks again.

[@danmurray1301]

Thanks Rob iam 53 just starting to learn the drums you have made more since then any others I've watched thanks

[@wunoteu]

You know Rob,those exercises you give us for hands can work for the feet too. It takes time to work up doubles with the feet. I practice on the floor mostly, but when I get on the set,lots of things can happen. My high hat foot is busier now . Thanks for the great videos,love them.

[@LeechGeist]

This is definitely gonna help a lot. Thanks!

This is the first tutorial after buying my electronic drumset, the first 2 days kf practice i got 1 and 2, but 3 was too hard, then on the third day i got it from the go. Amazing stuff!
