[@Ma-ttga]

you truly rock mate! very helpful keep up!

[@KJRias]

I love these types of comments :) Great Idea MrLeo! Thanks for the feedback

[@KJRias]

Hey! From what I know, with the “heel-down” technique your foot should rock back & forth to give you the speed of leverage with double strokes. So your heel doesn't stay on the pedal entirely. Personally, I played heel-down at first, but I didn't get the speed I wanted till I figured out “heel up”. We all learn differently, but try giving heel-up a whirl. You may surprise yourself. Hope this helps!

I picked up drums again after a 30+year absence and needed slow and easy enough fills explained slowly and easily. KJ does a great job of that and then some. Stephen Taylor is another drummer that can not only play great but can teach great as well, not easy & not all drummers possess said skill set. KJ & ST do, & thank Buddy Rich (God) for that. They both get me in Bonzo mode which is to just whack the friggin things sometimes, make noise and in the process start to develop fluidity and a lil confidence enough to be willing to try practice what they're teaching even though it sounds like shit for now. Thanks KJ, keep on keeping on...

[@baxxtermesser5345]

Good lessons!!! Thanks for posting waiting for new stuff)))

[@Pmeyer123]

Youre the best man this is so helpful

[@pelertapir8149]

Nice lesson 👍

[@dovsjean5239]

Nice lesson sir

[@MrLeothedrummer]

You can add 2 ghost notes on the snare right before the first kick of the fill. I don't know the note values but it sounds awesome to me :D

[@drewhattonlightningdragon935]

Great tutorials I learns so much from these! I was wondering if you have any great fills that you can add to slower music?

[@opaquefilm]

I would love to see a breakdown of Coheed and Cambria - The Crowing @ 2:57

[@boyieng]

Thank you so much sir, very helpful..

[@truita65]

Great licks man ! I've been learning a bunch with these tutorials! Thanks a million! Have you got any Bonham grooves or ideas using the Bonham triplet.

[@KJRias]

+javier manzano Thanks for the support, Javier! I do love me some Bonham, but I don't think I have any Bonham specific drum tutorials on here. I'll add that to the request list ;)

[@ethanthepro1568]

And please keep upcthe good work..do watcha doin cos its cool..

[@tomicatairovic399]

May You explain "Dave's gona skiing " by Toto? THX. TOMA from SERBIA.🙏🏻👍🏻

[@abraxasdelight]

hi! Do you think its a mistake to keep my heel against the pedal of the kick for doing double strokes on the kick drum .. I mean i can handle it but does it cost me more concentration and will it be wrong for improving ? thanks man

[@ChristBurner]

that was rad

[@CameronBartholomew]

Practice timestamp 1:55 -- might also sound cool as a hi-hat fill.... and maybe throw in a splash on the 2nd L, or the last R....

[@Creaativesoul]

Where are going to make the new lessons?

[@おーいえーーん]

😭Come Back!!!!

[@Longielong]

KJ: I hope you were tapping on your legs with your feet... Me: Witchcraft! Get out of my head!

Please break down Fred Boswell jr fill

[@thomasnappo6309]

Kj...your still alive...your videos are still on the tube....come out bro

[@africanchina1]

Lesson starts at 1:05

[@ScottGarrettDrums]

"1-&a, 2e&a, 3e&a, 4e&-" is how this is counted. If you can count it you can play it.

[@pgalatioto]

Tasty fill

[@MrDigimonas1]

Would be great if you would write in notes, or at least 1 e & a, so it would be clear length. Great lesson in other hand

[@tuanminhle5577]

Thnk mrs

[@justinmaloney1259]

I am shocked how decent that kit sounds. My brother got one when they came out and I used it live for a few months and it's just the biggest piece of shit ever. Guess you got lucky.

[@KJRias]

umm...thanks?

[@justinmaloney1259]

KJ Rias Haha it was nothing personal man. My experience with the FS kits has just been bad (my brother's friend also had one), so I am surprised yours is not only holding up after all this time, but actually sounds good too.

[@ismael3867]

drums need good tuning and heads to have a good sound drum rings also help

[@boyieng]

Thank you so much sir, very helpful..
