Never fails to raise the bar over and over again. Excellent. Even the overlay is trick.

[@pemal8984]

Thank YOu for a perfect video, exactly how its supposed to be. Great sounding, Clear notation (amazing job, looks very good). Very very helpful. I started to feel effortlessnes on the left hand doubles at the end of the 5 stroke. Super excited.

[@suprchompas]

it does look pretty cool and it is helpful. definitively keep it if its not unreasonable. appreciate thee extra work!

[@austinmoore9101]

The notation is sick

[@michaeltune9647]

Brilliant, you are a very good communicator. And what a beautiful sounding kit

[@gregjacksun]

Learning how to actually verbalize the counting like that is indeed very difficult. Most people can't do this right away. But man does it firm up your ability to actually play it.

[@alexdascal8262]

Dude, the transcript overlay is awesome! Congrats! It looks really sleek and having it all on the screen like that really helps go through it while paused (as opposed to scrolling bar that other channels have) Also -- thanks for a very creative lesson! Lots of love from Romania!

[@abbdrums]

Thanks, glad you dig it :)

[@kirkydaturkey]

Seriously, he's always killing it with the video editing 🙌

[@LeoPerantoni]

I really like the transcript overlay! Good work on that! The 5 grouping improvise on top of that bass line sounds sooo good! I'm gonna practice it this week, thanks

[@fredericlinden]

Fantastic playing, great lesson, yes great vocal delivery (!), beautiful video. I am a pianist... Thank you so very much for your dedication!

[@paulerler8586]

great lesson as always, Austin! I've tried this a couple of weeks ago for the first time and I've found that mixing both of the variations of the beats you've showed sounds awesome during my practice sessions, you could try that too if you haven't already (accenting 1 and 3 in the first beat and then 1, 2 and 3 in the second)

[@MDNDrums]

Excellent lesson, the notation layout to the side looks great! And I don't even read drum music haha.

[@RamonHernandez1]

Loving the notation design Austin!! cool lesson aldo!

[@drumfanatik316]

Loved this lesson! Very easy to follow and informative. I liked how even when you played it up to speed that it wasn’t so blazing fast that the fill lost its note value! Awesome!

[@abbdrums]

Always gotta maintain that pulse and subdivision! That's why I'm such a huge proponent for keeping time with the left foot... it keeps you locked in.

[@jasonsmith9407]

love it, thank you

[@Dadedrums]

Very interesiting!!

[@meekoloco]

Yeah man, great vid, love the transcription overlay! Do that man! That floor Tom is fatter than me!

[@obo2881]

Brilliant! immediately taking this to the kit :)

[@bouncingdude]

Great stuff! Can you cover more groupings? You can do some cool things with a grouping of 3 too. :-)

[@user-Simxa]

❤🔥

[@charlietrece7958]

Sorry I’m an illiterate drummer but great fills to apply in a gig.

[@sevenfacecomplex]

Shit i did not know about dis 😂😂 vocal accent grid .. 🤤😅🤔

[@avirosen7730]

Dry dry and more dry.

[@Kjodienda]

Man, between your playing, your teaching and grooving, the sound of the drums, and the recording quality, this lesson has been impactful as hell. You own that bitch! If you close your eyes at the end of this lesson you can hear a little Vinnie in there... Just sayin'

[@OlliLappalainen]

haha I'm really bad with sheet music and this one-ee-and-ee-ööa--aa thing. As soon as you started playing this I was surprised that it was really familiar rhythm. I've been using this a long time in beats and fills. It's great. Love it.

[@abbdrums]

I think a lot of drummers intuitively feel odd note groupings but if you really want to manipulate it creatively, it definitely helps to understand the technical framework underneath.

[@charlesseagraves6210]

Austin, I just downloaded the Creative Pad Patterns course, and I must say, you sir, are wise beyond your years. Very informative and educational! I've been telling the drum employees at my local Guitar Center about you!

[@tryharder249]

Looks cool inserting double into the kick. R (L) (L) K K R L

[@PeterBachmayer-ProDrummer]

great video - great drumsound!

[@MikeGalutva]

Man, I really like the way you explain rhythm concepts not only with this lesson, but at all) Very clear and understandable speech!

[@alejandrolamasmartinez9438]

Hola, desde España te doy gracias por tu dedicacion y por darnos instrucciones sobre las tecnicas y groove de grades bateristas y tu buen gusto por interpretar esas tecnicas,tu ejecución es muy buena y pedagógica gracias.

[@Mike-sf5cg]

I took each line and learned it like a drum fill. Actually I learned it on the pad while keeping time with the hats. Time to take it to the kit now.

[@lajeanette33]

I’m happy you took the time for the sheet music on the side it’s great!

[@castlehilldude]

80 bpm is way too fast for me. I would probably need to start at 60 bpm or less. Oh, in case anyone missed the subliminal message, it was the word. BREATHE. Good advice LoL!!

[@awanknowijuno5213]

that snare sound is really awesome!!

[@PezrulezHaakon]

I can do RlRll and the RLRll on the snare and quarter notes foot on hihat, quite easily, but my mind is totally clueless where 1,2,3,4 are 🙃 Don't really know how to get my mind to understand how to incorporate it in a musical content. Orchestrate it around the kit with kick underneath might happen in a couple of decades or never 🤣 Really good and easy to understand lesson, by the way 🤗

[@rodcoombes8711]

Great stuff, very creative, must admit never really thought of 5,s like this, it’s usually 7’s.I like the way you work the patterns in that sound natural.

[@lukasgesien6604]

Killer dude! I try to work with this in the next week. I´ll upload my progress and let you know how I did :D Thanks for the exercise! Love from Germany

[@jackieenx7085]

Try inverting it... rllrL... Heavy Accent on the last left... Falls naturally on the 2 the first time... Then it's a brain chaser... And especially if you put both r on ride and kick...

[@mollybloom5681]

As for the sheet music layot: I prefer old school - black on white background. I find this irritating. But that's just me. Valuable lesson, let's not forget about that.

[@davidbrown9395]

Like this sticking a lot. I have been using rlrrl. good to mix tem. Also good for an alt jazz ride eg 5.5.6 or two bar fill 5.5.5.2.5.5.5 also nice variations with double paradiddles and paradiddlediddles

[@gilsenircosta1152]

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@riekysamodra]

Nice lesson bro! Can you make another drum lesson how to make tasty groupings? With a variety of other groupings

[@dylanwhitesockswatson]

Austin I have to say that I am stunned by your videos. I've been following you for quite some time now and I always really liked your content. That being said you made huge improvements with video editing, mixing not to mention how good of a drummer you are and how good of an educator you are. Your kit sounds amazing, your videos look amazing, your playing is amazing, your teaching is amazing and you make very interesting content ! Thank you

[@abbdrums]

Thanks Dylan, I appreciate that a lot man. 🙏🏼

[@anthonybianco9909]

Can you add R's and L's to the notation and have a bar that moves through the notes as it is played in an upcoming video? It helps keep along and helps with note reading proficiency.

[@michaelmonaco5837]

The transcript is great visuals are an easier way to learn. Try counting 12 123 12 123 as it progresses thru the chart. Austin is great at allowing us to be better players.

[@seamusobric]

Excellent Austin! Magic stuff! Thanks 🙌🙌👏👏

[@teguhptyo]

I like the appeareance of your score...make it easy to learn...thx Austin...

[@NeilHollomanDrums]

Experiment with putting doubles on any of the 5 notes, including the accented ones.

[@mellowtron214]

Austin is kinda.... *BEAUTIFUL!* I appreciate the 5 groupings, I’ve been looking for exactly that, and here it is from the man himself.

[@BobSchoepenjr]

From 2:00 and further 👉🏼drummers ar the best rappers...

[@ShredTraining]

I like these paradiddle 5 patterns: rLrrF or RlrrF or RLrrF

[@matthiasebert3414]

Really like that transcription style. Keep up the great work. Thank you for you videos :)

[@tdrum21]

Very nice. I always work with these concepts like this too 👌🏽🎶🥁

[@Megamatthiesen]

Awesom 🥢🥁damn that snare Sound good 🥳

[@rumblepac6823]

Yo! As a drum teacher this is definitely a very good beggining lesson into the world of 5's for our most advanced students! Top 3 drum youtuber for sure AB! Wish you great success.

[@MendaPro]

Yeah! ! Saludos desde Barcelona. . 😉

[@timmcgrath3416]

Thanks a lot Austin really helped me. Happy new year.

[@martinreilly2752]

Really well explained, thanks Austin 👍🏻

[@ChristopherMundahl]

I always like the transcription on screen. On more complex ones, the suggested limb assignment (L,R,K) is nice. I think you are doing a great job. Thanks for the video!

[@CainJamesPeterson]

Good video. Thank you so much for this video lesson.

[@thestonegoose]

That virgil donati analysis was inspirational indeed! This is great! Thanks!

[@rondeangelis7384]

sheet notation is always welcome in my book. and something else you demonstrate is counting which drummers forget or think it not helpful. helps getting the rhythym in my head. great job austin👌👍

[@miked5487]

Amazing sounding drums. Great recording dude.

[@The_Living_Room_Tapes]

graphics are excellent thanks+1

[@mybiggrin]

Dude. This is so important. Thank you.

[@jonkirkman7456]

Best Austin Burcham lesson yet! I’ll have to check the notation on something bigger than my iPhone but so far it looks great. Thanks for a great, well made lesson

[@ZachBratland]

Love it thank you 🙏🏻

[@pedroinosuke537]

Outstanding explanatión...as always!!

[@ShartimusPrime]

Great vid, love the new transcription with the white over black. Made me go, “Oooo” before you even mentioned it. I like playing with RLLRR LRRLL w accenting the first note of each sticking w a kick.

[@abbdrums]

Yea I use that sticking all the time! Smoothed out like a quintuplet but I hear/play it as a hand to hand triplet, just playing doubles between the accents.

[@ShartimusPrime]

@@abbdrums Right? Same here. Almost like a paradiddle-diddle . . . but missing a note of course.

[@bouncingdude]

Hi Austin. I found the counting actually easier if you count 1-2 1-2-3 in 16ths over the bar-line against the 4/4 quarter note pulse. Try it. :-)

[@abbdrums]

That's easier but not better for keeping track of where you are in 4/4! You need to keep track of the beats and bars to really stay locked in.

[@cjdouma8330]

Austin, just wanted to say thanks for your recording series. I’m just starting to record and you have helped me greatly. Keep at it bro!

[@mr.crowley7646]

How did you tuned the snare? Snare side cranked?

[@DrummerAndyTaiwan]

even with my laptop at a low volume, your snare sounds incredible, sick content also! keep up the good work!

[@buddyrichable1]

I was just going to go through my videos to wrap my head around these five note groupings and this video popped up. I’ve been following you for awhile with Study the Greats, but I’m really glad you’re doing some instructional videos. This is the best one I’ve seen explaining the counting, which is the most difficult thing for me. I hope you will be doing more of these. Your videos are always first class and very helpful. Thanks Austin.

[@brunoabud6672]

I really like to use this patter in conjunction with RlRlr just because it switches you to left hand lead at the end. Makes it really interesting to explore the kit.

[@effersidd1412]

Another good vid! Explaining and showing practical examples are a great strength of yours. Do you have a Patreon id to support the making of these vids?

[@abbdrums]

Thanks! I'm not on Patreon but I do offer premium courses on ABBDRUMS.COM if you'd like to show your support there. You actually get something for your money that way! haha

[@richbuck100]

This is SO good. Just found, love it

[@seanpeel8223]

This one is a banger(pun intended) just like all the rest that I have watched. Thank you for the great content!

[@ghohman]

I like the notation on screen! Nice job.

[@donnecoleman]

your a better player than you are a teacher

[@KevWhitehead]

Another awesome video Austin!

[@drummertb11]

I've been experimenting with this concept a bit in the last couple years and I agree it's fun to play around with and helps when creative block becomes a problem. 7 note groupings can add even more spice! Great video!

[@rhythmantic]

I dig your current way of displaying the notation graphic. I’ve been experimenting with groups of 5 but in the context of one bar of 4/4 as a fill because in pop amd praise/worship where I play the most I don’t have to play 5 measures of a 5 note grouping. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and knowledge. This tutorial is a great way to utilize 5 note groupings.

[@dabodyx]

8:53 sweet dreams are made of thiiiiissss

[@donnecoleman]

talk too much too much too much

[@bradnelson2637]

Thanks for posting this!

[@MattPriceDrumming]

Your approach and on screen style is very accessible. Great explanations and the on screen transcription is clutch! I have recently been working on the exact same concept except I am working on it as triplets. 5 beats of triplets = 3 groups of 5. When playing 4 bar phrases you can start the pattern on beat 4 of the 3rd measure and then it will end up back on beat 1 at the beginning of the 4 bar phrase. Playing over the pulse in the hi hat is definitely the most important part because otherwise its easy to lose the beat.

[@williamkleitsch1153]

Austin! You are the man!

[@JulianFernandez]

[@gcha_lovie8991]

Austin its almost holy week why dont you dress like a apostle and play drums,you look like Jesus,its good to preach a gospel also while you teaching drums....good Job Bro....!😊👍

[@rthyhmmemory11]

Great Lesson! Love your overall-style, as always your just the man!!! I practiced this stuff as well on the pad with the readings of Gary Chaffee's STICKING PATTERNS.... so RLRLL would be a 5C Sticking.

[@jimbarcelona1078]

Austin, definately like the new note vision and grouping ,like the chop ,and like the 1-2-3-45 almost like the six stroke roll sound when played at 160 ,like the track too follow by as well. Thanks! Very cool.

[@lew123drums]

Geez Austin, at 4:22 of the video in the side shot where you are grimacing, I thought I saw Robin Williams playing your drums! Great lesson ... love the on screen work ... maybe a touch brighter?

[@natadono4012]

THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!
