Drum Lesson: Ghost Notes with Brandon Scott

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Great lesson dude. Congrats on the Vic Firth endorsement!

[@spadds]

Been playing longer than I care to admit, and never implemented ghost notes to such extent as I didn't know how! Sounds crazy, but this video was perfect for me!- Thanks for posting this is just what I needed to add a whole new dynamic to my playing! Not as tricky, or as easy as it looks!!!! lol!

[@matias.salomon]

Landed here today, and am loving it. It's aging great.

[@brianmclendon1647]

Brandon thanks so much for this lesson. The last exercise was the key to help me really unlock ghost notes, it gave me an effective way to practice them and it has finally helped me move forward with my drumming. Thanks for all you do!!!!!!!

Brandon this is amazing video thx for the tip

[@kristinemacdougall]

so I"ve watched a few other "lessons" on ghost notes and there is one thing you say that confirms you are the one to watch and learn from you said "loop the exercise as long as you feel you need to....etc. etc." THAT statement clinched me I'll be using your Lesson for the help I need with these darn ghost notes (James Brown will be so proud when I get this right(snort laugh))> Thanks

[@3dieu]

[@Jakodrums]

Amazing !!!!!!

[@CrochetNewsNetwork]

What is that square gold block on your snare? Certainly a muffler, home made or can I purchase in store or on line?

[@RobertTousignantRRHF]

nice lessons

[@RainCityStateOfMind]

Ayyyeee, you should do a video on just Dynamic Independence. Please and thank you, buddy.

[@mhryzracer]

The beat at 1:10 reminds me of "Hoobastank - The Reason" -> ur kit just sounds the same :D

[@jlamjustin9812]

yooo brandon how you play fast ghost note pattern like 32nd notes I always want to play fast ghost note ?

[@robertjepsen2533]

I LOVE the AAL's break. When I think of ghost notes that's the song I think about. \m/

[@ElliotLynch]

Hell yea. Thanks

[@Drummer885K3vinRios]

does it matter how you hit it? cos I hit mine to the side of the rim

[@drumsinthehouse8116]

In faster tempo do you use fingers?

[@srikirangs]

Thank you!

[@RambunctiousVA]

The dynamic independence is hard as hell

[@dianecan1454]

GallonHat Pat Yup, it sure is. I'm working on that myself.

[@gggerred]

Someone got a fresh intro.

[@return2energiser]

Have you parted ways with Zion?

[@johnmcafoos611]

When the very quick intro hits, WHAT IS THAT QUICK RIFF THAT'S PLAYED?! NEED TO KNOW. Thanks lol

[@andrewsamuel5816]

What snare is that and size?

[@StudentMarioGrandinetti]

you should strat making PDF for your videos. Love to print stuff out to sit behind the kit with

[@lucasrios6626]

Sou do Brasil.Curti suas dicas👏👏

[@mikialegre1]

Genial bro thanks

[@safakakal7209]

Really was good ...

[@PeteBarberDrums]

You should do a lesson on chops/fills! :-)

[@samagustino5060]

Upload again bro great

[@grandlull]

Is there a trick to keeping your sticks out of each other's way when playing an accent on the snare at the same time you're playing a ghost on the hat? I tend to need to lift my right hand high (thus accenting the note) so that it doesn't hit my left hand that's going high for the accent on the snare. Otherwise my sticks collide. Any tips? Thanks for the vids!

[@imacashew.]

Sarah C try raising your hi hat up so the gap between your snare and hi hat are bigger. It works for Chris Colman!

[@alexhardy12]

Try playing open handed! Its great for working the weak hand

[@ClaudioPulito]

This lesson is sweet like sugar. I'm really gonna work a lot on this

[@immateardrop8897]

what are those wingnuts what brand

[@acrock21]

man that last beat you did reminds me of blink 182 feeling this

[@ldcsam1]

Hey Brandon, awesome lesson dude. What VF model do you use? I've been using the VF 5A for almost 20 years now. They are the #1 selling drumstick in the world. LOVE THEM!!!

[@5iveThumbsUp]

Dude your so funny! Thanks for the great lesson.

[@TheKillabutcha]

[@jonnybeag887]

[@TheBrunotti]

[@CrochetNewsNetwork]

I was wondering that as well.

[@thivan2000]

[@ferewtrette]

[@wagnerpiscineiro626]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@espadaphotography]

great thx :)

[@manofculture8666]

Problem with me is I can do ghost notes just fine. But when I speed up, the ghost notes seem to slowly sound like regular notes.

[@donm1547]

Still having difficulty understanding 'Ghosts' but have better insight after this vid. Thanks.

[@Beeson1sm]

you should put a noise gate on your toms

[@scroxydrums]

The intro and I go like TUTA TUTA TUTATA TA tataTATUtataTA TATA simple love Animals as Leaders.

[@drumski7328]

[@jgarzo]

Thanks dad.

[@SurajSunar33]

6:25 your bass and snare sound so weird

[@satopsycho2152]

6:20 it could be something with recording settings but it sounds like bassline is being played. cool

[@lucassaam2629]
