What's your perfect pattern and why? I'll pick my favorite answer this week, and the winner gets a free 30 day Membership to OrlandoDrummer.com. Hope you enjoyed the lesson my friends!

[@celiasarmiento7625]

I will say your pattern, seriously.

[@louie8604]

The perfect pattern is the pattern that acdc used in almost all their songs, it keeps time perfectly and is easy

[@johnmccoy2049]

Any combo of RLLK and RLRLLK in 32nd notes where the doubles are ghosted on the snare and the accents are orchestrated around the kit. The first left stroke in the second pattern can also be ghosted to add a bit more spice. Creating unique combos of these patterns can sound great where the accent is moved from the downbeat to the offbeat and back again. Mike Johnston has a video on this with a specific pattern but I've loved getting creative with it and exploring options.

[@WWENFLfan]

[@carltama]

I need you to know I am 52. Played drums from 15 to 25 and never cared about technique or reading. It was about playing loud and stoned. Then at 25 I just stopped playing. Then at 45 I played at a friends request and fell in love with drums in a way I never had before. I played everyday from 45 to 49. Some days 4-5 hrs. Then hit a devastating divorce (had nothing to do with drums) and couldn’t play for at least a year and a half. Then life changed and I was playing again everyday. I have always wanted lessons but don’t resonate via online. So I forged forward with this insane desire to play and get better. Anyway for a long time I felt like I needed more and I stumbled on this and it opened up a whole new world. THANK YOU for helping me turn another new page!

[@m.rodrigues9687]

Man, I had the same story. I stopped playing for 15 years and now I am so into drumming, it's scary ! Thanks to these videos, I have reached a level I never had before !

[@frankkalejo8809]

Same here ! Stop playing for 25 yrs. Been playing again for 7 yrs . The biggest mistake of my life was to stop . I played jazz in Chicago now I found myself in Las Vegas playing with a BLACK SABBATH TRIBUTE BAND I never hit tge drums so hard in my life and I'm loving it Keep drumming Gentlemen ✌️

The lesson hasn't even started yet and you deserve a like just for the introduction. Beautifully written.

That is the best sounding snare ever. EVER.

[@Bubbles_69921]

@@frankkalejo8809 nah, there's a video ware he talks about a signature snare he made with some independent company, I think it's that one.

[@lilymuu]

Putting the pattern in the thumbnail makes me even more likely to watch the video, because now that I know how _perfect_ it *looks,* I want to hear it in action. Your use of similes in regards to language and music was also helpful. Thanks for breaking down the pattern so clearly, as always, and showing different applications for it!

[@josebalosa8421]

You can use the pattern in feel special by twice 😝

[@Gemini19]

Hey man, just wanted to say I appreciate how clearly you explain the concepts in this video. You're super well spoken and it makes it incredibly easy to follow. A big breath of fresh air after watching so many tutorials of people jump editing between every 3 words they say and still taking forever to for them to get to the point.

[@tobyvattilano7846]

This is the most well articulated video lesson I have ever witnessed. Outstanding drummer and communicator.

[@lubagoo]

I think so, too. This is why I subscribed almost immediately.

[@costinauzby]

Thank you for your contribution to the world. You’re one charismatic dude. I was hooked from the beginning and blown away by your teaching ability and the ease of information here.

[@rustedskelotonproductionse3687]

Literally the perfect pattern. It can be applied to absolutely everything and almost everytime it will seem like a different variation. Most amazing and valuable drumming tutorial available on KZbin by far.

[@algol8659]

Love how crisp and smooth his push/pull technique is

[@AntonPershin99]

Such clarity! I immediately liked and subscribed after listening through the first couple of minutes! I can practice both my drumming and my English skills with your videos, thank you!

[@jesseondrumsjd]

Love that snare crack, it hits me in the center of my brain make my head jump back

[@DAP-UAV]

When I read the Title, I had to click to see how you could possibly believe such a thing could even exist. Obviously there is no such thing. What a great way to get me to click and watch, and learn.

[@ajb-drums]

An insightful and educational type of rick-roll

[@RonaldCaldwell]

I can certainly appreciate this video (in addition to all of your content). Appreciate your honesty, simplicity, context, and the overall usefulness of the patterns you show. Awesomeness.

[@xxkornmetalxx]

I love learning from other drummers and musicians in general. Agree with the points you made especially about practicing patterns only to find out they dont fit. Great explanation of everything. Will be working on this for a while.

[@longboard3816]

I'm stuck in the 90's...I still say dude. Love your vids, dude.

[@lukesuperflyjones]

This is probably the highest quality drum video I’ve ever seen on YT (video wise) plus it’s a amazing pattern! Win win!!

[@dspmusik81]

The English word metaphor is a great way to explain grooves and fills. Great pacing on the video as well.

[@plamenshipkovenski]

It's Sunday, and I'm having fun with The Pattern! Thank you Mr Tuminaro🙏

[@jordanosz2962]

Your playing is so articulate and accurate - I could listen to you play all day! Not to mention your entire kit sound and continuity is beautiful...

[@PeterDrummer54]

I love your approach and teaching style Adam! The way you explain your groove to compare it with words in language. Perfect! Thank you

[@sneaky_general]

I’ve been doing something like this for a while in my fills. This definitely just took that to the next level. Thanks!

[@Lenix217]

The 6tuplet RLRllK is super modular. Even slight dynamic changes make the rudiment sound completely different.

[@jordanosz2962]

It's funny because I heard that in this pattern he presented.. I myself use this pattern you mentioned all the time in 16th note form or triplet form

[@johnoduntan5760]

You are simply incredible. You are a true aficionado in drumming and presentation.

[@DeadDad1]

Four years later I find this.. Thank you very much! You definitely earned my subscription four years ago! 😊

[@emmanueldsgn]

You’re simply incredible with your lessons. One of my favorites in youtube. Great work! 👏🏾

[@charliechuckles5579]

excellent lesson. Thank you very much. Very generous of you to teach a higher way of thinking about what it is "to drum".

[@timothyhagen8225]

this video was incredibly helpful for me. Your use of language and metaphor really resonates with me.

[@NicoOrtizDrums]

8:57 what a FRESH stick trick god damnit hahaha amazing video Adam cheers from Bolivia

[@RockOn78]

Nico Ortiz Drums so fast and smooth. What... actually...happened there lol?

[@Smigzi]

Only spotted it second time around. So subtle but that makes me like it more!

[@simpletricksph2510]

Saw it

[@Thatdudewiththedogs]

@@RockOn78 it's actually super simple. You simply swing the stick backwards, keeping that fulcrum in between your thumb and first finger. You can rotate the stick, almost in the motion of a circle, forwards and backwards. It's an awesome stick trick, because it gives the illusion that the stick it being thrown or moving fingers, but it is actually staying in the same spot, just being rotated. I hope this helps!

[@juhokettunen8245]

I highly appreciate the manner in which you approached this topic. A healthy mix of drumming philosophy and practical applications. Kudos!

[@robburgess4556]

This is a really cool pattern! I love the way it sounds.

[@jamessmithersmusic]

Man, great video! Your playing has gotten so tight and expressive, your teaching technique is so well executed and easy to digest, your mix is fantastic and your video production is glassy as hell. Big props to you and what you’ve created for yourself Adam, it’s great to see!

[@FirmBreastedAlien]

Solid case in explanation, and I like how you highlighted inverting the groove. That is always my go-to when double-checking if I'm exploring all permutations of a groove I'm digging for a specific application.

[@solomondaniel6670]

First of all I want that drum sound😂💯❤️

[@musicdev]

Haven't watched Adam in a while, but holy shit, his playing was already good before, now it's just unreal. Those rolls are so damn clean! Glad I'm still subbed, always something to learn from this dude

[@maxwelldoldan]

I’m still only breaking into linear concepts, but I’m finding that flamadiddles and double paradiddles have helped me to begin my exploration of linear fills. Great concepts in this video, Adam!

[@greandre68]

Great lesson, the drums sound amazing. This is a must use , I will add it to my tool box.

[@ConnorAllenDrums]

Just learned this pattern but with a L r r At the beginning which is also super sick to switch it up! Now seeing this video I’ll be combining both. Amazing work as always, your teaching is exceptional

[@JohnSWeekley]

As someone who writes music with keyboard and computer and not a drummer, this still helps a lot with ideas and trying to keep things believable when having to do something more "acoustic" and not synth. This is very cool!

[@natebass9209]

Your comparison of rhythmic language to English and being able to use words/phrases in different contexts and situations is spot on. Love that comparison!

[@mansonmania]

I love the way you communicate your lessons. Always putting great content out there, also a beauty to watch 🤤. Thanks Adam x

[@michaelzimmer4853]

Thank You, Adam. Great idea. Thank You for Your clear and understandable way to talk. I am not missing a single word. Many greetings from Germany.

[@SpittinSquirell]

Sick pattern. I love how easy it is to learn but as you said you can really speed it up and move it around the kit. As someone who is self taught and has a hard time with rudiments patterns sometimes I really appreciate these simple grooves.

[@BranZHamZ]
