Thanks a lot man! Awesome video🙏

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Glad you liked it!😃

[@APdrums77]

Nice video as always my man! I saw the words simple and chops in blue bold letters and was immediately sucked in 😜 In all seriousness, always love your stuff. I’m currently trying to work on keeping my ghost notes down when chopping. Makes all the difference in the difference in the world in terms of sound. Just really tough to keep em low and consistent when you get to playing fast.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Thanks for the kind words, bud!!

#GetIt!!!

[@bdn8161]

Awesome job man. Chop 3 sounds slick! Can u possibly do another one w more hi hat involvement? Thank you sir.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

For sure! I’m constantly posting videos, so it’s bound to happen 🔥😃

[@Philtoid]

Simple doesnt necessarily mean easy.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Exactly, and that’s basically what I say in the intro 🤗

[@bdn8161]

What batter heads are u using on your hi and mid Tom? Look like ebony pinstripe? Thanks

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

It’s the Ambassador Black Suede 😃

[@NeCLiaH]

In my opinion, after a lot of time practicing this instrument, chops are easy, sticking is easy... the real deal is what dynamics you decide to make use of and obviously when. Chops and sticking is about learning them slowly, get the coordination on point, increase their speed and that's it, after a while, you have the muscle memory needed. But dynamics, oh my, that's what makes you start getting money in your pockets.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Exactly! It's all about practice ^^

[@chrisd.8453]

Hi CJ...I am a member of your channel. However, I cannot see the musical transcripts. Can you please explain how to view the music so I can print the music out? thanks.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Hey Chris! If you go to the ‘community tab’ here on my KZbin channel, you’ll find “members only-posts” where I link the Google Drive links to a downloadable zip file, containing the transcripts and audio files! 😃 Let me know if you need more help!

[@kentnolley9378]

Dang Man U say simple but it hard

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

It all takes practice! (And if you really watched the intro part, you'd see the explanation 😉 )

[@kentnolley9378]

Ok ima try it right now👍

[@joseperez8695]

Simple😂😂😂😂😂

[@normanwilder4935]

Gosh how I loath ghost notes I try to avoid them at all costs lol

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Naah, ghost notes are the best!

[@j.haywire5841]

Sorry my friend, chops is not a fill it is the ability to play that fill. A drummer who has great chops shows it in their fills or phrasing. Fills are what you learn through lessons, by ear or watching someone else play. Still playing at 75 with 63 years experience and still shedding. ✌️

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Yeah, and chops can mean several things. Just as if you say "That singer really got some chops", would usually mean that singer is versatile and can sing in a wide range and with different techniques. Same goes for drummers, but chops are also referred to what I mention in the video (repeated musical phrasings around the drums). 😊
