Drum Terminology For Dummies | Drum Related Phrases

Do you have a hard time understanding some of the Drum Terminology and Drum Related Phrases? I've got you covered in this video!
In this video we'll go through 5 drumming words or "drum slang" that might be tough to understand, especially for the new drummers. I'm covering phrases like Playing In The Pocket, Open Handed Drumming and "Shedding".
Some of these phrases were unknown to me for several years, naturally because I'm Swedish and didn't grow up with the same terms and phrases in my language, so I made this video to hopefully help other drummers that might struggle with this as well!
0:00 - Intro
0:43 - Playing Half The Speed?
2:33 - Does This Make Me Flow More?
4:18 - Shredding But For Drummers?
5:15 - Open or Closed Hands?
6:53 - What Does Pocket Mean?
9:48 - Outro
I hope you enjoy this video, thank you for watching!

The confusion was REAL!! Thank you so much!💪

Brother..you are such a breath of fresh air..in the KZbin drumming world

[@GRMS_Ian]

If drum terminology applied to videography I’d say your videos are in the pocket. But it doesn’t ... so I’ll just say thanks for sharing this interesting and inspiring video. Loved your two licks in the non-linear example, first when you changed from hi-hat to ride (4:10) and at the end of the groove (4:17) ... That’s what I’m talking about. Awesome! 👊🏻🖖🏻

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

That's one of the nicest comments I've ever gotten! I'm really happy you found this video helpful and entertaining 🙌

That pocket explanation was the best I’ve heard yet! Hard thing to practice tho’! Gotta keep grinding it I guess🔥

It is really tricky! Sometimes I believe my pocket SUCKS!! But you just gotta keep working on it. I think it comes naturally after practicing time keeping for a long time.

good stuff man. I'm a guitar player and wondered about these Drum Terminology's.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Cheers! I'm probably gonna make another video like this down the line!

[@gordon9177]

sounds good to me. I watched this guy, Larnell Lewis couple months back & he showed some stuff to and what a "Back Beat" is. Hitting the snare twice. I kept hearing about it, but didn't know what it was. Then I stumbled across his video. young guy, about your age. some ppl. don't explain things right and we give up for a little while and bam. @@ThatSwedishDrummer

nice stuff, thanks for posting this video, I am going to use the half time transition and that "disco" feel beat to practice this weekend. I am building up a bit of grooves to make re-learning the drums again fun. which is easy since I don't have any requirements, deadlines or homework. I love being self taught now. Compared to high school 30 years ago anyway lol

I just run my hats with my left hand so I can play "open hand" I just don't like cross sticking. as a bonus you can move your hihat around.

Hello Mr. CJ, I really appreciate your drumming lessons! Maybe you could upgrade your drum learning with my innovation that presents a slightly different drumming and a slightly different sound. I would like to get in touch with you Mr. CJ. Friendly greetings, BJ.

[@danielofori2186]

Tack

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

🙌🔥

[@ristretto24]

Simon Phillips is right handed as far as I know. He switched to open handed to fit more toms with a low placed hihat.

[@nemmanuelnana6628]

Super

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Thanks!

[@gordon9177]

Do you have video on what is a "Back Beat"? if not can you do one? I know very little on what it is.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

I've definitely thought about doing a follow up on this video! But simply explained; If you're playing a 4/4 groove, the back beat is on beat 2 and 4 (where the snare drum plays). The bass drum is played on what's usually called the downbeat, and the snare plays on the backbeat.

[@gordon9177]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer ah ok. Cause I heard the term upbeat (snare) & downbeat (bass drum). So the snare has two meanings?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

Well, technically the "upbeat" is the "&" of every beat. As in if you count 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &@@gordon9177

[@gordon9177]

hmmm. yea, next video add that e.g in there to. @@ThatSwedishDrummer

[@Manuel-hb8hn]

Sir is practice pad is good for practice to get more better for drumming please tell me

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

A practice pad is indeed a good tool for practice. It's very portable, so you can bring it anywhere. And they're also very "low volume", so you don't have to worry about bothering anyone. For drum kit practice, it's not gonna be "enough", but it's a good start.

hell ye

[@marcelocastanon2019]

Hola amigo son muy buenos e instructivos tus videos peroooo gente como yo no entiendo completamente el idioma y quedan muchas explicaciones valiosas que no entiendo se podría subtitular x lo menos algunas al español??? Muchas gracias saludos desde Argentina.

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

I don’t speak Spanish, so I can’t make subtitles in Spanish either. Hopefully KZbin will expand the over-dub program they’ve been working on so the videos can be listened to in different languages ✌️

Hopefully it’s been taken care of. Just know that I only write back to people in the comments. I NEVER ask people to add me on any messaging-apps. Spread the word! Stay safe, buddy 🔥

[@juanjavierm]

Was Simon Phillips a left handed drummer?

[@ThatSwedishDrummer]

In retrospect - I was wrong about that haha! I thought for a long time he was left handed, but he's just played open handed for such a long time. Apparently it helped him play his setup better.

[@juanjavierm]

@@ThatSwedishDrummer Yes. In fact Gavin Harrison interviewed him and he told the reason to play open-handed: the perspective and the drumming approach it arose. BTW: Love your sound!!
