Great lesson and love your teaching style and videos. That would also be a great big solo/fill to set up a horn shot on the upbeat of 4.

[@TimMetz]

Absolutely! You can move it around to any beat really. Glad you liked it!

[@hakankara9908]

Thats awesome!! The explanation, and the relaxed way of teaching thats people need it 🙏🏼

[@TimMetz]

Thanks Marcus!

Tim you introduced me to Funch and Lauritsen cymbals! Thank you and I love them both!! I have 4 of them between the 2 and will get more too. I have a little bit of a cymbal addiction. Love your stuff man!!

[@TimMetz]

You and me both...

[@Ds_Drums]

That was cool. I practice that and work it into my playing. Thanks for sharing as I have not really worked with diddle-diddles since high school.

[@MJTNick]

Great lesson and above all: Fantastic kit/cymbal sound!

Awesome!

[@TimMetz]

Thanks!

[@lindsaymcpherson4744]

Oooooooo I like it

[@Ihitthings3]

That sounds killer man! The easiest and best rudiment to crush. Now do LH leads 🤣 What like about this rudiment is that when you separate the hands to the ride and the snare, the lead hand plays a jazz swing pattern, it lends to come cool comping stuff And is helpful when drilling LH lead.

[@TimMetz]

Exactly!

[@JulianFernandez]

sweet!

[@TimMetz]

Thanks!

[@JanHoving]

Love your lessons. I hate saying kick drum but it is the internet 😂

[@TimMetz]

😂 It's been a thing with me for years. Still hate it. Lol! Thanks for watching!

[@patrickberkery8854]

Smokin!

[@pandui]

Hey Tim, great lesson! Just a quick question - is there a difference between hitting a china/crash with a bottom up motion like you did here vs the usual top down one?

[@TimMetz]

Not at all. It is just a visual thing that a lot of big band drummers use. Check out Jeff Hamilton, he uses it all the time.

[@johndiraimo1444]

Hi Tim... nice drum fill to get around the drum set. When playing the 2 bars of time before the fill, I notice that you play the Ride cymbal to beat 4 then begin the fill on beat 1 of the next bar. Could the "and" of 4 be played as a pick-up by a left hand on the snare drum ... leading into the Paradiddle-diddle?

[@TimMetz]

Absolutely!
