Finally a channel that explains the outs and abouts of polyrythms and that is *actually* simple and visual enough to follow during practice. Thanks for this and keep uploading them. You got a new sub.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

I didn't explain Polyrhythms in detail though, just gives an example of how to incorporate it into grooves, but I'm glad you find it helpful! Thanks for the sub Max!

[@aristoculo9939]

very helpful for practice. for extesive explain of polyrithms i recommend you the chanel of Yegev Gabay, is very good too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5_VZ4ahjZypmMk

@@ledgy69 He is definitely one of the best out there and technique-wise probably one of the smoothest and most fluid drummers I have seen yet, also because he is able to NAIL so many different styles of music without overplaying!

Oh yeah, he's super inspiring! I kinda wished he didn't stop playing with Plini. Really miss his Drumming.

@@ArtOfDrummingHQ I favoured Troys style a bit over Chris Allison as well, nevertheless he is also really good! They just have different styles, which is not a bad thing per se!

Those exercises are so perfect for teaching people practical, hands on polyrhythms! I hope this video (and all of your others) gains the attention it deserves because its going to help a LOT of people understand these concepts.

[@RyanxDunn]

Totally man. Matt's stuff is over the top difficult but it could really push any drummer to their limits and this guy would be helping us do that

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

@@RyanxDunn Matt's stuff pushes me to my limit and beyond on a weekly basis. I still struggle with it so much!

Great job dude, I can see the hard work you put in playing & teaching. Beautifully done! P. S who else is on their kit right now trying to figure that stuff out while watching the vid? :D

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Thanks for the compliments :) hope it helps!

[@Knaven85Perth]

Good stuff.. I've seen this song played a lot and know the groove by ear, but seeing the progression like this has made playing it much easier for me to do. Thanks!

[@stevevorass]

This is a great lesson. It explains what I thought was a drum part from the future and made it digestible. Thank you!

Freedom is one of the amazing thing we can learn and drumming it adds a dimension to life I can create anything we can imagine thank you for taking the time and effort. This is where drumming should had to Adventure into more. :)

[@Mega12Uploader]

An excellent lesson as always, but could you make a video about ghost notes, please? Between all the videos on KZbin, the technique is never clear to me.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Actually, I have a video about an advanced ghosting pattern along with a song coming out in 3 weeks. But are you talking about basic ghost note technique?

[@Mind.Elixir]

Art Of Drumming HQ I would love that too, a simple ghost note exercise to improve coordination

[@Mega12Uploader]

Art Of Drumming HQ exactly, to be more specific, on electric drums.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

@@Mega12Uploader that is really specific, but the technique is the same on any type of drumkit. Just really soft taps with the wrist or fingers or both depending on the speed and what happens before or after the ghost notes. Anyway imma think about this for some more and see what other people on KZbin are doing and how I can make something better :)

One of my fave AAL song. Quality breakdown as usual man. You need more exposure to bump those subscribers. Very underrated channel....

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

It's hard to get that exposure because I can't do my videos more frequently due to time and budget constraints. And KZbin's algorithm favours channels which upload regularly. But if I get increased support, especially on Patreon, it'll help me get there. I really appreciate your encouraging words anyway, thank you for believing in my channel's worth!

Definately a good lesson. Easy to understand, but totally impossible to do. That'll never happen. My 32 years of drumming doesn't help me at all.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Dont give up yet. Do it step by step, Complete step 1 along with my video, then go on to the next step. And finally you'll get to the last step. I have faith in you!

[@PezrulezHaakon]

@@ArtOfDrummingHQ Strange thing is that its no problem at all with step 1 and 2. Step 3 and the variations with ghost notes are not a chance in this universe I can learn. It twists my brain up completely. Feels like step 3 for me is step 300. I'm definately not genetically wired for that stuff. You on the other hand do a great job explaining this methodically, and play it flawless 🤗. Easy to understand, but my body refuses to do it. You got yourself a new follower 😊 Keep it up!

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Take your time, when I first started getting into this stuff, it took years to be able to do it comfortably. And you're right, STEP 3 is actually STEP 300, because I suddenly throw in a lot of ghost notes. If maybe you introduced them in manageable amounts, like just 2 ghost notes per bar that'd be easier. Just a suggestion. Thanks for the follow PezrulezHaakon!!

I don't play drums, so I am actually clueless, but is a ghost note just a not accented note? that's what it sounds like, I think.

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Hey yeah, ghost notes are soft snare notes, you got it right

[@NergalDaimonoz]

Excellent video, good flow and good content. Only thing I'd suggest to make it perfect is to adjust the mic you're using when talking face to camera. Keep up the good work !

Oh yes that's something that's been gnawing on my nerves too. It's a really cheap $50 mic and has many limitations. But I'm just about to able to upgrade it for the long term. Stay tuned for the videos next month. Thanks for your input Arthur, much appreciated!

When you turn art into science it loses the heart and soul. No feel at all

[@ArtOfDrummingHQ]

Too much explaining sometimes leads to loss of the magic behind art, I understand where you're coming from. But I feel Art and science can coexist in a beautiful way, complimenting each other. The more we understand art, the more we understand science, and vice versa. That's a part of what my channel is about. But this is what I love about our world and the myriad of opinions we have on everything. That alone produces more art, and furthers science. Thanks for bravely sharing your opinion, cheers Jason!
