Amen! 2 Corinthians 12:9 - But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. Amen!

It's amazing how I've been playing for 12 years with some fairly big gigs every now and then, yet Gabe's videos always teach me something or makes me think of things in a whole different way

[@crypticutopia7228]

Same here mate, I've been playing for a long time and I also play gigs but that's the beauty of drumming is you never stop being a student. There's always more to learn.

[@Gregor510]

Been playing for 30 years and feel the same way lol

[@Max_v.E]

Man the feel you're able to put into your fills truly is something else. 🙌

[@alysavos]

I know this video was on fills but what I really like is how you embellish your grooves. do you have videos on that?

[@kermitdafrogisback]

First off, congratulations to Alex for winning. I know you are going to enjoy all you get from the Academy. And as one of the winners, of the free year, I know I do. This is my second year in the Academy and I love it. Ready for many more years to come. Gabe is an amazing teacher. You can not go wrong. Make sure you get on the list everyone. You will learn great things an make great friends. Hope to see you all there.

Even the single stroke fills sounded so different just by moving around the kit to make it sound so different. Another amazing and helpful video 🤘

1:52 #2 and #3 are what is sometimes referred to as oblique motion (one hand moves). #4 can be either parallel motion (hands move together) or contrary motion (hands move apart). I think it helps to split #4 that way, as it has a much broader range of possibilities compared to the other steps. And then of course there's the implied final step, which is using the previous steps in various combinations. You could structure your practice to do all possible permutations of 2 steps, then 3, etc. to provide more focus there as well.

The way he takes the time out to explain each part, small or big is really helpful. probably why he has a but ton of subs. that and his sense of humour.

Been playing for over three decades, this is the single best video on drum fills that I've ever seen, cheers!

[@standardissue69]

Awesome instructional. I'm a musician that plays a variety of instruments including drums. I can keep a beat but that's about it. This video and your playing has inspired me to get behind the kit with a different attitude. I don't consider myself a drummer but with your help I may just be. Refreshing video to watch & the sound coming off the rolls is exotic! Thanks.

[@manianeusz8654]

I've been stuck thinking too much about hitting toms and accents rather than thinking about patterns and using kicks for more things than accenting. Definetely will watch again while on my drumset. big thanks!

[@jerrycobarrubio7240]

Bro I am amazed how u play . I want to learn from you . U are now my big brother . Family.

[@thomassheets8897]

This is also super useful for anyone who isn’t a drummer but is making music at home. I’ve been looking for ways to make the drums I write more interesting and this video couldn’t have been more of a lifesaver.

[@ginostrings]

Very good explanation. this unlocked everything

[@klonker797]

I’ve been playing guitar for 10 years and Ive recently started learning the drums. Your videos are so helpful for someone like me

[@v1nigra3]

I have naturally noticed then when I’m at my peak moment both my hands are moving around the kit and creating life, this is a recent development for me and it came naturally…glad to come across it in your video

[@foximusprime882]

bro you've been such a big help in my drumming journey i just found your channel recently and i love it. keep it up!

[@ZrankFappaH]

Only recently found your channel and it is pretty Damn insane the progress im making. I could play somewhat decent after years of being a table drummer, occasional bits of playing on friends kits and such. But you’ve opened up so much information in a super easy to follow way. I’m making huge progress. Love you bro.

[@joelbrown6411]

I'd say he's a drummer now. Held a tight pocket and nailed his fills while maintaining the beat . Transitions were seamless. Bravo!

[@SoleymoonPercussion]

Great video! Gabe I love the way you break everything down in a way that is approachable. You're the best teacher!! Keep being amazing and stay true ✌

[@DrumBeatsOnline]

Thanks so much for the kind words! I’m so happy that you’re learning from these lessons!

[@stixpooper3704]

Excellent lesson. Orchestration does make simple fills much more interesting. First video I've see that demonstrates this so well. Thanks for posting!

[@arnabshahriar]

complicated stuff may seem wow to someone, but for me, playing a simple thing with good knowledge of tone, dynamic & context sounds really wow... !

[@joe_tipakuah4880]

Great video Gabe! As a beginner drummer I find this is quite helpful for us to create more creativity with the basic stickings.It may look easy because it is singles, but we can create something impressive and lastly become your own signature.Love and wave from Malaysia!

[@jubankta1627]

Nice job Alex!!

There's a reason I am a DBO academy LIFER! This is an example of the pure gold that Gabe teaches. Highly recommend it to anyone who is considering the DBO Academy

This is very important lesson! It's also very important for drummer to know and practice different rudiments.

I'm not so sure step 4 (1:53) was just RLRL... seemed like there was some doubles, syncopation, changes in rhythms and note values... it was a huge leap from the previous steps.... also, it had a backing track.

Looking forward to using this in my teaching/learning.

Thank you for these awesome tips. I just started learning the drums (at 59). These tips will help me not feel overwhelmed. Along with the other techniques of accents and rudiments will work.

[@tavo8543]

Great as always!! 🤘

[@travisSimon365]

You missed the final step: dynamics. Accenting different notes makes the same sticking sound like completely different rhythms. This is also a big part of the reason why different sticking patterns work: different sticking patterns make it more natural to move the accent to a different note.

[@juliecifuentes7019]

woooooww!!! thanks!! I will practice this today, looks like really fun :D

[@fastfiddler1625]

Ok. I love the sound of those Meinl cymbals. Especially that hihat. That is delicious sounding.

Awesome video! I really like the idea of the ABC approach. I am just starting to get into the nuts and bolts of different stickings, and this is hugely helpful in being able to try and be more creative! Rather than just playing notes around the kit, being more methodical with the groupings is huge!

[@peacegroove7854]

One of the most common things among my students it's the lack of flexibility they have with their ideas. Displacements is the first step in my view. A 16th note based idea has 4 basic possibilities, but even more if you think of starting that idea on ANY of those 16ths. This will not only expand your vocabulary ( with one idea as your starting point) but allows you to shape that idea to SERVE THE MUSIC. If you took 1 simple idea and worked on displacing it, playing it in different rates, in different time signatures, different dynamics etc you´ll be amazed at how much you can grow and how much deeper your rhythmic understanding gets. Thanks for your videos Gabe, keep it up!

[@bonnieroe173]
