[@dis.infectant]

Some of the best real-world applicable drums for dummies instruction on KZbin.

[@Highway75S]

Your illustration of the R-L-K made this concept finally land with me. Mind blown. Thanks a ton man.

[@KJRias]

+Judd Dupuis BAM! Easy as that. Glad I could find the right illustration for you Judd. Keep it up.

[@TheSeedism]

+Judd Dupuis Second that.

[@chelseanewsome7245]

I just staryed playing drums... and I watch you and a lot of others like you everyday! I do an hour on drums by myself daily and then I play with my husband and a few friends for an hour or two everyday also while they play electric guitars! I've learned so much from all of these videos! and I sincerely thank you! I'll be a drummer in no time!

[@leojoyalep]

Wow! I'm a beginner and this sir is amazing for me. It initially sounded and looked complex, but after you showed the basics it was like...it was just that simple. Thank you!

[@SuperJgan]

mind blown, this is where i am missing. i always dont pay attention to my base drum it jus go whenever i like when i do a fill. now i know how ppl get the nice base sound at the right interval, thansk dude!

[@eliseoestrada9736]

sup kj I'm a new drummer who started playing in August and today I stumbled on your channel and it was really helpfully, I all ready learned half of the fills on your channel today and can incorporate them in songs thanks for the help, because of your help I've created my own fills, thanks

[@KJRias]

Glad I could help, Eliseo! Keep up the amazing progress.

[@crescendo6074]

KJ Rias I know this is super old, but by any chance can you show/explain the full full at 4:20??

[@Jeff7746]

Out of all the videos I've watched, your videos are the best explained, thanks for posting.

[@KJRias]

Thanks for the support Jeff!

[@dr8627]

at about 2:40 when he shows the "kick first" version, triplets leading with kick are also often referred to as bonham triplets

[@tonylindholm1]

Wow! I started about 2 months ago and came across this. Played with this for 30 minutes straight and loved the feel of it! Very simple but at the same time very challenging - and fun! - for a beginner like me.

[@TeaAudio]

This made my day. Thanks for sharing those really simple fills, as soon as you showed the sticking then it all made sense.

[@KJRias]

Haha. Thanks for the feedback, Finnick! Glad I could help

[@jimmio3727]

Yay, another TRX cymbal user. I cannot get enough of their cymbals. They kick soooo much musical arse.

[@KJRias]

Agreed. Thanks for watching Jim

[@benedictlucena2963]

You're so cool dude . Tnx for the free lesson . God bless you more bro.

[@jinanicole6908]

This is so helpful, this will help me get fills down. I always do the snare, tom, tom, crash, but this seems like it can help open that up a lot. Thanks!

[@bcoz6630]

I stumbled on this about 4 hours ago. I've been playing it all night and just got it. Thanks KJ!! This is going to open up a whole new level #stoked

[@lolodrums]

There are very good teachers in the net but you KJ are really great !!! Very easy way to explain it simple an understandable. Great skills indeed!

[@gillesutile7267]

Wow man u're awesome i've searched for this drum fill for 2 yrs and i found it great GBU!!!

[@Stewie-zg8nv]

hey kj. im playing heathens in my band concert thing so u helped me a lot and now everyone thinks im good. thanks!

[@zulhusnizulkifli6745]

Thanks for the lesson. I just realized that it's not that hard to do this cool drum fills. I appreciate it. Thank you.

[@lawrencem.8063]

This fill always work...thanks for this video...

[@cloakoffeathers7217]

I've been working on these for a long time now and trying to improve. Thanks for the added value. Also, adding a high not in place of a drum really makes these fills sounds amazing to me. Just one note and it's completely game changing. Great video.

[@fo727]

Is this guy still drumming? Do you know?

[@tom_4615]

I've been working on something really cool which is: Bass, hi, snare, bass, snare, snare, bass, h-tom, snare, bass, snare, m-tom, bass, L-tom, snare, bass, bass & crash and the sticking is RLK LRK RLK LRK RLK KX and its really cool

[@jarodo.6022]

After seeing this tutorial, I took it to the kit and used it in my 'Uptown Funk' drum cover I just completed. I hope you dont mind that I gave you some credit in my drum cover description. I am a 'beginner' after a 30 year break, so I like finding the easy and simple concepts and try to incorporate it into my playing. Thanks so much for the information.

[@EHMSL1226]

Cant believe how good this sounds for how easy it actually is

[@brucewayne2371]

Wow im excited how easy and cool you can play on that kind of small Kit. I don´t really understand by now,why some Drummers have these huuuuge Set Ups. Btw that was a really impressive lesson for me,because i really need some new inspiring Fill ins. And i also like this Kick Thing. That sounds really pretty cool. Thank you very much for this KJ!

[@mrcpalacios1]

Bruce Wayne

[@KJRias]

Bruce Wayne Glad I could help Mr. Wayne. I like smaller kits because they force me to do more with less. That's the kick drum/foot development is so important. Keep playing, bud!

[@ismael3867]

I remember watching this when it first came out, now I'm doing all of ur advanced rolls thanx man !!!

[@KJRias]

+Ismael Thanks Ismael! We online coaches live for feedback like this. Glad I was able to help. Keep it up buddy.

[@MrJamesSantiago]

[@CanecaProductions]

I was between signing with drumeo or you. I keep coming back to your videos since you're exactly the style I want to built my foundation from. I'm signing up with you. I will upload a video when I get decent enough. Thanks for these videos.

[@KJRias]

Glad to have you MeTube! Send me a message after signing up. Let me know if I can help in any way.

[@alexisespinoza1290]

One of the first concepts I learned when I started thanks to KJ. Thanks, man! Came up with some sick chops with this concept!

[@KJRias]

That's awesome, Alexis! I'm honored

[@chezchezchezchez]

Love it. Call it "beginner" all you want, but I feel it challenges a beginner and raises our level! I've been playing for a year and I can't nail this at a fast tempo ---yet! Excited to keep trying tho. There's a million ways to use RLK and even RLRK combos! Thanks!

[@noahniemi5701]

Holy dooly, this is a fill I have wanted to learn for ages, thanks heaps

[@oda9627]

Can you PLEASE make video to teach some tricks in Joe Morrelos solos like take a five sastilian drums ...Please?

[@FacuCOB]

Hey man! I like the way you're communicating, it's very understandable for me. Thank you. Greetings from Argentina.

[@joaod6375]

this is awesome. it's the prove that how a simple drum fill can sound cool if you explore it. THANK YOU!

[@mattynigma]

I'm a pretty advanced working drummer and this was still insightful. Thanks

[@KJRias]

+Matt Goodwin Thanks for the support Matt. Always great hearing from working drummers.

[@benanderson5270]

[@KJRias]

+Ben Anderson Happy to help Ben! Thanks for the support

[@gregorymason3913]

Super helpful! Have you ever done a video to explain how to properly tune your drums?

[@KJRias]

Hey Gregory. I haven't done a tuning video yet but I'll put that on the list. Thanks for the request!

[@gregorymason3913]

You are awesome! Thanks...

[@rjevejericrecopelacion1947]

Woooooooo amazing this roll ive been looking for.. I want this GOD Bless you

[@theom.8492]

[@praminkdkachhetri7133]

[@jimritzjr4926]

KJ, Nice work. I like showing your work to my students

[@luvwings]

Funny you should say your grandma can do it! I'm here looking for some fills...

[@RatraceDave]

hey man i have to say i love your videos.very practical well presented.id love to see your approach on grooves.and groove development.fast and slow tempo.

[@ryanhampton3586]

could you possibly do the fill like this such as the following? 1~Floor Tom &~Hi Hat 2~Bass &~Snare 3~Snare &~Bass 4~Hi Tom &~Hi Tom

[@KJRias]

You sure could! Any orchestration you like

[@johanansumague469]

love it! most beginner-friendly video about basic drum fills Ü

[@KJRias]

Thanks Johanan!

[@thenaylor]

Brilliant, I'm gonna teach this to my 8 year old nephew, cool fill that's easy to play. Thanks.

[@KJRias]

+jim stewart Awesome, Jim! Yea it's that easy.

[@thenaylor]

+KJ Rias maybe that was wishful thinking, I've only been teaching him for a month or so, he needs more practice and basic rudiments first. definitely gonna get him onto your videos once he's got some more basics down though.

[@voltbeat113]

NEW SUBSCRIBER HERE 🙋🏻‍♂️ Thank you! I learn a lot!

[@gids8029]

I like the tuning of your drums

[@guybrushgood3717]

Hey KJ, THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE, YOU'VE SHOWED US A WORLD NEVER SEEN BEFORE WITH THIS TRICKY COMBINATION, Big hug From argentina!!

[@Sound_Commission]

Our drummer is 8 years old. you have some seroius grooves!

[@richadams4999]

[@KJRias]

Thanks Mick!

[@roymathewssr4684]

The breakdown is goodman... honesty I clicked because I was going to give u advice cas I teach my kids and teach friends too but you have it down 😁 good job!

[@KJRias]

Thanks Roy!

[@ryanhampton3586]

Also I've recently been playing around with fills I know and this one as well, and I've thought of after those last 2 floor tom hits you would go like this: R~Snare L~Floor Tom R~Floor Tom L~Snare K~Kick K~Kick (Not really sure about the kick right here) L~Floor Tom R~Snare Do you think this could be more of an add on to the fill tutorial in this video or would the counting be off-beat before you went back to the drum beat? Thanks!

[@KJRias]

That works if you're starting on the 3 count. Keep it up, Ryan!

[@HedonesInk]

KJ Rias 1 snare floor 2 snare floor 3 kick 4snare floor 5 snare floor 6kick 7snare floor 8 snare snare snare snare 9crash

[@hunterwhalen7755]

[@KJRias]

[@JuliaKasdorfMusic]

I'm so new at drums I didn't know a kick could be part of a fill! A new mystery cracked!

[@KJRias]

Ohhh that's a big one. Adds a whole new dimension to your drum fills.

[@channelphone20]

Wow sederhana tapi memghasilkan suara yg ramai seperti mahir

[@clovisgeigers7020]

I enjoy drums. Wonderful. :D

[@JulCoCa87]

[@KJRias]

You're welcome, bud. Thanks for watching

[@JulCoCa87]

Which State are you from KJ Rias? I was trying to pick up your accent, I lived a few years in Minnesota and sounds like from somewhere near there haha

[@ШарифШукуров-ю9р]

Thanks, for such universal drum fill, I can use in in any songs))👍👍👍

[@danielbeyer940]

you tune your drums very nicely

[@KJRias]

Thanks Dan!

[@b16ftw]

[@frankking8414]

[@siddharthsonawane7597]

[@estian_]

[@cleriohickmann7582]

It helps me a lot! Thank you!!

[@TV-FilmCameramanUK]

I was impressed with this so much I have parted with £17.53 of the finest Great British Pounds, which is like half a lesson where I live.

[@MimiDeCastro]

Thank you so much for this amazing fill!

[@KJRias]

+Rizza Mae De Castro Happy to help, Rizza

[@benjamintzultacam8110]

it`s great brother thank you. God Bles You

[@KJRias]

Thanks Benjamin!

[@tronlady1]

That snare sounds FANTASTIC. How? In fact the whole kit sounds shit hot!!!

[@eghosaedigin7779]

Yeah dude the fill was easy but I have trouble with the regular drum rhythm because I wanna expand my drumming outside just using the hi-hat kick and snare for just flowing

[@96vintxge]

Can someone tell me how to do 2:49??

[@alexwyman7688]

Wow. Saying R-L-K makes it a hell of a lot easier. Even for a dumbass such as myself.

[@fejericktorres5539]

I feel you Bro .

[@reaganchin2156]

Great tutorial

[@bRadicalmagic1]

You are my best newest discovery ! How do you live without a double bass drum pedal , how ? Killer LICKS & fills bruh, THANKS !

[@KJRias]

+bRad “bRadicalMagic” Nichols Thanks Brad! I've been considering getting back into the double bass. Mastering your single pedal is crucial, but i've been hearing some awesome double bass licks lately that have me curious.

[@bRadicalmagic1]

The double bass just facilitates such awesome depth a single CAN'T facilitate . IMHO .

[@HEVINHOQO09]

Great Fill! Thanks

[@thing2ugot]

Awesome, can you teach some of the beats you played?
