I also learned that resting is needed as well. A day or two really helps your mind and body. I sometimes take three or four days off between practice sessions to reset.

“If you make a mistake, make it again” is essentially the foundation of how I taught myself to play drums.

Stephen I have to tell you, I'm 65 years old and have been drumming since age 4. That was one of the best drum lessons I've have ever experienced. Everything in that video was golden. I'm impressed. Thank you.

The jazz conversation. That applies to me. I tried to learn jazz when I was in college taking lesson with the drum instructor. Never could get the hang of it. But the lessons I took transferred over to my rock drumming and my pocket got better. Still can't play jazz very well after 24 years. But still playing rock and metal and those lessons still stick with me.

Exceptional video and message. As a post metal/post punk drummer, I tell my son; “I’ll teach you everything I know, but let’s both reach out to other resources for what I’m weak on.” 🥁

Nailed it dude. Self taught drummer from the 80;s metal scene. Learned everything I could have ever needed by learning songs and getting them tight with my bands. Did not know what a ghost note or triplet was, but was playing those and more.

Hi Stephen! I just watched this video and everything you said was priceless! I'm 53 and have been playing since I was about 10. Very knowledgeable advice! For me, the key components was control, timing, rhythm. If you have these, you can be a pro drummer. Along with everything that you added! Perfect words of wisdom! Thanks much!...

🔥 Great quote about the “wrong note”. Reminds me of a quote by Victor Wooten about always being a 1/2 step away. It’s all in how you play it - play with confidence!

Yes! One of the greatest compliments I received was that I look very confident when I play. Even when a groove or fill didn't go how I wanted or expected it to, I make a mistake, I drop a stick or anything like that, I keep going as if it's all intentional and that really helps with the feel of the song, especially on live performances.

Drumming... what an art form. The best advice I would give to drummers.... practice, listen and feel the flow of music. Steve Gadd is a prime example of this approach. Fluid... anticipatory.... beautiful. Blessings all...

This video is great and I know will help me. I am a member of sds and started playing drums over a year ago but after I injured both my knees and foot I was unable to practice for 10 months and now I’m starting all over and back at the beginning. I’m so disappointed but I believe I needed to watch and hear this video. Thank you!

I get the mental disappointment injuries bring. But, just try to remember, it's not a race. You're right where you need to be for this moment in time. And now that you're healed, you have tons of passion to learn the drums now. All about them daily wins 😉

I used to play an hour a day and it was really valuable for me, but what also taught me most of what I knew was applying what I learned understand where I can use it. I think playing along to drumless songs that you can find here on KZbin and using it to make use of what you're learning is super valuable. It can also teach you about over- and under-playing Practice can be theory, rudiments, playing along to your favorite songs, as long as you're learning and applying it.

6:08-6:53 That there is a game-changer. When you make a mistake, 2% of the problem is the actual mistake and 98% of it is up to how you respond to it. If you keep this on your mind you can be more prepared to work with a mistake and make it invisible.

I agree everything has to be in the pocket. Especially when playing in odd times if you don't have a a good pocket in 5 or 7 it's gonna sound like a mess. Also to play in odd times you have to have a good pocket. You must learn in 3,4 and 6 and be really good in those before you learn 5 and 7

While I agree with almost EVERYTHING you said.... I hate to say it...BUT I don't think you (not you personally but most drummers) could possibly learn a very fast, very accurate double bass drum song like BabyMetal 'Arkadia' or perhaps 'Road of Resistance' in a reasonable amount of time. It took me literally months and months and months or hours and hours a day to get up to that kind of speed.

Oh I get this. I practice a hour a day. 15 minutes of my practice is rudiments with my feet, with and without hats and snare. I'm just reaching 16 notes at 140 bpm after 3 months of daily practice. It all takes a massive amount of time and ability to critique yourself.

Playing in time in a manner that best serves the song. Cats talk about playing ahead or behind the beat. Jeff Porcaro explains it well in many of his interviews.
@StephenTaylorDrums
@StephenTaylorDrums 10 ай бұрын
That's a pretty in depth discussion, but essentially it means making your playing feel good based on the song you're playing. We can play the right notes and they can feel bad. So it's more the specific placement of those notes and how they feel while you play them.
