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.

That is the best sounding snare ever. EVER.

[@Bubbles_69921]

I wish I knew what the model is. 😢

[@frankkalejo8809]

I think SONOR

[@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.

[@aloak]

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

Andre Carvalho this.

[@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 😝

[@MrJacobThrall]

"Crotchet", "quaver" and "semiquaver". Those are good words...

[@VacantIsland]

well that's a load of bollocks

[@blackholesun8786]

Clunge is a classic

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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...

[@tagmenotdesign]

Adam you are just getting better

[@charliechuckles5579]

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

[@tm71100]

Incredibly performed and verbally executed......WOW , good for you .....You are good at playing and teaching sir.

[@algol8659]

Love how crisp and smooth his push/pull technique is

[@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.

[@timothyhagen8225]

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

[@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

[@Relic.form-info]

so much clarity

[@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.

[@dspmusik81]

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

[@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.

[@TheGigmiester101]

Hi Orlando…Really enjoy your lesson videos. I’m almost 70 this coming December and just wanted to say that all patterns and grooves are all useful depending on how they are used…To me they are just more tools for the toolbox at one’s disposal. Keep up the great work sir. Regards, Shawn W. 👍👍👍😁

[@rastislavbudaj4908]

Amazing break

[@skream4drums]

Anything you do is perfect

[@urhuckfinn]

A true professional.... very well taught. Thank you sir

[@greivinchacon4851]

Orlando, so many can play awesome, but to many can teach as clearly and well as you do.

[@juhokettunen8245]

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

[@jamesfawkes4974]

What can I take away from this? Something I watch several times a day. Thanks dude

[@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

[@thehighhopes5336]

That snare sounds great.

[@plamenshipkovenski]

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

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

[@longboard3816]

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

[@objoyful989]

I don't agree that a word cannot be superior to others. "Love" surely is. And there are some other words, but I took this as an example, because one falls in love with this pattern you showed. While the pattern itself may not be perfect, this lesson about it really is. Therefore I subscribed. Thank you.

[@glenhagerman3114]

WOW FREAKING AMAZING! Thank you so much. Great teacher.

[@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!

[@Euthyphro]

RlRlRll Rlrll Rlrl 7 5 4 = 16 Plus, you can add or take away any of the accents. That, or keep the groupings the same, but change the sticking.

[@broncosnbeans]

The relation of drum phrases to the use of the English language was a nice touch!

[@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!

[@lb7022]

Exactly bro! You are a natural teacher. Keep them coming.

[@danielmcglynngardheim300]

That intro, with your speech aswell was very well done. Caught my attention immediately.

[@borbacymbals7331]

"The Nine" is a pattern Weckl uses all the time. I like to play pattern twice as 16th note triplets then finish w a 6 stroke roll. Fun lick!

[@swangonzalez4797]

Thats what i'm talkin' about! Weckl is the Perfect drummer

[@viswow]

your toms sound so good

[@mentel72]

I have two perfect patterns. The inverted Paradidledidle( RLLRRL) and RLL which I combine in various forms. If we call the first one A and second one B I can create patterns like ABAB, AABB, AAAB, etc. without thinking about it. It's cool because it creates patterns of six or nine notes and can be easily applied in triplets. If I want to add a kick in it I usually play the single Right hand hits on a cymbal with the kick.

[@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!!

[@sayeddileri3461]

Adam's technique is so satisfying to watch. Just a fresh and inspiring video to watch. 🔥

[@lemuelszeto]

Two of my favourites are KRllRL and RlRllK. I play these a ton with different combinations of RLK and six stroke rolls!

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.

[@abraham-escobar]

This is the video I’ve been looking for years!!! Thank you sooo much, by far the best KZbin drum teacher!!

[@michaelbrown3128]

Thank you, I dont play reading sheet music, but understand what it means? But I get drums by my inner feel and you explained the way that I play drums and understood exactly what you meant! It was very helpful to find a way to group of phrase my drum segments or measures. Thank you very much!

OK, I just recently set my drums after maybe 20 years of not playing. I was never a great drummer. Started playing this pattern. After getting the pattern down started to modify it a little and moving around the drums. I can’t believe how fast and good I am sounding. Still have a long way to go. Thank you for this!!!
