It is so deceptively crazy how fast Elise is on those drums!!!! Thanks for sharing this great tidbit about the different ways to apply techniques!!!!!👍

[@garyswords818]

She makes it so easy to understand, the exicution is on you. But she rocks, been amazed by her talent for a quite long time.

[@markielinhart]

Thanks so much for this‼️onto it right now ✌️🌻

[@ChellfireDrumz]

So much precision, and so poised. Thanks for the demo, Elise

[@zacharygoode1107]

Definitely one of my favorite young artists. Love the setup. I play Pearl and Paiste too. 😁🤙🤙

[@SarahSchlongfeel]

She's got great feel. She plays delicately yet confidently. She's got massive control over her velocity too.

[@robinjohnson6301]

Agree, I really dig her feel. I can hear some Jimmy Chamberlin in her playing here. Like Jimmy, she has a kind of airiness to her playing, especially when playing ride grooves. I think it comes from a combination of note placement, sound choices and also having a relatively light touch. Great stuff!

[@joellowery]

Fantastic

[@RLTango]

Awesome! I really want to see an Elsie and DJ Shadow collaboration.

[@MoisesOliveira-r4y]

Perfect 😊

[@lbudt29]

You're a talented musician indeed. Love your music videos that lay out all the instrument tracks.

[@NuOrder11]

Nicely done!! Love your work.

[@Proactivity]

Elise could also do masterclasses on guitar, keyboards, vocals, sequencers, loop machines... Some people have more than their fair share of talent!

[@christophegragnic8681]

The shadow of the zebra has no stripes!

[@guild70]

No doubt she has put her hours in on all of those instruments to get to where she is at!

[@thrashingpanic]

@@christophegragnic8681 Sounds slick :) What does it mean though? I mean it - I know it's something about talent but what do you mean by that?

[@christophegragnic8681]

@@thrashingpanic When you see something, it's only the shadow of the «real» thing. If you see the shadow of a horse, it may be something more special: a zebra. So when you see a YT video where someone demonstrates something don't narrow your thoughts too early, she may have many other talents.

[@thrashingpanic]

@@christophegragnic8681 Oh, ok. I thought it might be something about not judging a person and their history when you can only see a little fragment of them, not knowing what's behind - here it would be about not appreciating the amount of work she did and just saying "yep, she's talented".. But this is going almost to the Plato's Cave 😉in a way, so I like your zebra more. Thank you 🙂

[@Homurdan]

Drumming has never been so beautiful

[@thefreezezone4583]

my god she is so beautiful

[@enkrypt3d]

she's amazing!

[@jacksdrums1]

cool lick , I will steal it LOL :)

[@davidstoleson792]

Note: When you change it from the first duple-based example to triplet-based it’s no longer a 6-stroke roll. The first example IS a 6-stroke roll. Everything else Is triplets with different stickings.

[@jtsandiego4626]

🥺🥺😭😭 PLEASE DON'T DELETE THIS VIDEO; WE LOVE IT TOO MUCH!!!!

[@Sterlings_End]

The six stroke inversion is a great idea! One of my go to variations is RLLKKL and then playing it in sextuplets.

[@phenocom8182]

Love how she doesn't overplay theres too much of that these days

[@danieljensen2626]

Elise is pretty good at everything but I feel like her drumming skill is massively understated compared to everything else. Every time she's on the kit I always want to hear more. Never plays anything super crazy but she's just got a great feel.

[@Hatchet_Wound]

Same! I just found her through a Travis Barker tangent, and I'm left wanting more drumming from her. She's so damn clean with her playing.

[@mitchmaule6517]

Its probably because this is the height of where she is drumming-wise. Nothing wrong with that either.

[@DanyNMacF]

Dang you're good!

[@domineu7]

So much talent and beauty in one person 🌈 Congratulations 🗽

[@rgbg2008]

Great explanation - thank you very much, please more of these short lesseons.....! Is that the Dunnett Titanium snare? (sounds also great)

[@PiotrstrashcanŚmietnikPiotra]

I don't know why but it sounded like something that Ian Paice does a lot....

[@tedfurlo2268]

It's what she does!

[@andrebarberi2496]

Elise trouw ...merci j'apprécie vraiment votre style est tres agreable💐 ...cool merci ....🥁dd 🎶

[@theredbaron057]

Good lesson, thank you. That floor tom sounded sweet.

[@andresaguilar327]

I like her Sound on Drums. It’s loose and with a lot of feel.

[@Northeagle66]

I love simple and effective techniques. This is surely one.

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

That tiny drum set screams Big Band. Buddy Rich. Jazz.

[@davisdeluca4324]

Love it!...great playing and your kit sounds amazing👍

[@brianchisnell1548]

It's just rudiments. Master the snare drum and you will have a big tool box.

[@demonicsweaters]

love how her kit sounds

[@markscountlessbarks]

Snare sounds like a cardboard box. Awful.

[@yyzz1959]

Sweet young lady playing so gracefully and well educated with a great future : )

[@davidb8259]

A nice jazzy feel. Great job in the pocket .

[@treehuggernz]

Hey what’s that ride cymbal thar? Kia Ora.

[@adamnewyork]

The drum tuning sounds like a ham sandwich

[@hybridduncan007]

Hello I’m Duncan

[@idn]

Great musician! Thanks!

[@pullmfinger6149]

Is there anything she can't do?

[@massimoarciulo411]

Well done, drummer! Brava!

[@vaportrails7943]

She must be protected at all costs.

[@YouDakineAh]

Love her music, talent and beauty. She’s the total package.

[@cossarbear]

Great teacher !!!!!!!!! awesome player!!!!!!!!!!! too much beautiful woman!!!!!!!!!!

[@dedexyz8475]

LOVE Elise's TALENT, however- IMHO: the ride beat is more jazzy than rock, the same with a standard Six roll. But that's just me. NOT hating, just getting in the weeds.

[@prpwnage9296]

which nail polish is this?

[@Fabi_W]

I don't really get her as a drummer. The things she does on Instagram are not really my thing. Like high quality videos with lots of sampling and looping. BUT she obviously enjoys what she's doing and she's inspiring other young people to maybe pick up the sticks and start learning the drums and for that I highly respect and admire her.

[@DRUmBEaTTS]

Her feel and fluidity are light years ahead of where mine were at that age, very mature player.

[@VodkaSelekta]

This is mainly to do with the information age and musicians being able to get anything/info they want at a click of a button. The bar has risen, and I dig it.

[@yves2348]

Piece of cake... Not.

[@Shaggy0f138]

Flip the beat! yeah!

[@bornr2797]

Beats too simple.....

[@xetradax2679]

she is something

[@starbeardiesyoung]

„Hi, I’m Elise. Let me trouw a couple of rudiments at ya.”

[@ischelkanov]

well..i've missed all she was talking about) that's not that good idea to have such a beautiful teacher))

[@michaelanderson2881]

Good lesson. I can't imagine how she gets any leverage with her left foot. But it seems to work for her.

[@Xion6]

Mugatu: Hot girls playing drums, so hot right now.

[@jodyguilbeaux8225]

what a little talented cutie pie....................a good lesson, thanks

[@gatonegro6833]

👀😍😍😍

[@Andrew_M_Ward]

the pink sticks and the red nail polish prove the old adage... "Chicks can Rock" is paraphrased a bit but you get the gist

[@mitchmaule6517]

Only an idiot would think they couldn't.

[@killmoreturtles]

nice bounce! The stick playing is not bad,too!

[@gelamaisuradze9787]

👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@ВасилийПетров-ч6к]

Молодчина!!Красиво получается!!ЛАПОЧКА,прям!!!

[@n5cbi]

It appears that those, or at least some, who can can teach, too.

[@normanperry303]

Really sorry I missed out on this. I have SO many questions.

[@Saif-bi6zd]

Great foot work with keeping the hi hats going.

[@yavuzguney3413]

Snare ?? Sound beatfl 🇹🇷🌹

Very cool video! We need more woman power. Great!!!

Youre too beautiful to slouch

[@zachpeterson4519]

A master of her instrument, geez.

[@gabebabe1]

So much talent (and hard work of course)

[@mathieurichard]

This Paist ride is awsome !!!

[@kurtpedersen7863]

I need rankings of all the great drummers

[@jasonlynch9121]

What is the name of the wrap on your kit?

Sit up straight

[@robertocoria5575]

Thank you Elise. . .

[@PJSqueegy]

I think I'm in love.

Great lesson, gunna try this out!

[@TheStudioDrummer]

Fun!👊🏽

[@somenoonsomenoon8874]

Nice approach

[@mike_lund_drums]

Yesss!!! Elise you rock!!!!

[@cjazz11]

Fun stuff!! Thanks

[@mike4179]

From what I've seen of her, her strength definitely lies with drums IMO.

[@jerry132526]

I agree but she also has an amazing feel for song writing and composition.

[@yourfamilydocter]

Very jazzy

[@ilrifhalidaf]

love ya elise 💜

[@frankswarbrick7562]

I'm not a drummer (came here just for Elise!), but I have a question. If you are hitting the same drum (snare, for example), does something like "R L L R R L" sound significantly different from "R L R L R L"?

[@LearningDrummerSam]

It usually does but if you can make them sound the same then you may as well debut as a pro drummer because its deceptively difficult

[@Sterlings_End]

Usually drum rolls come out sounding different since they can have an entirely different velocity and cadence to how the sticks interact with the drums. But as Anika Nilles and many others have shown, you can alternate between singles R L R L and doubles RR LL and have them be indistinguishable between one another!

[@drumken]

and if you get these different sitckings on the drum set, than you do get different musicality, fill sounds and stuff. Learning rudiments opens up for new ideas and music, making you even more open handed.

[@T-Hawkeyes]

that kick!

[@jonathanalter8481]

Rudiments are easy for you. Your rhythm😂 are synchopathic

[@truthweallknow]

Nice. Love.....

[@ignacioperezdelcastillo3182]

💪

[@jongutierrez778]

Sa•Weet! 🎶

[@Strellock]

No 6 is a great warmup; I tweak it to: rllrrl rrlrll rrlrll rrllrrll rrlrll Bonham had a cool fill with the rrlrll - all 'l's on snare, all 'r's cycling from tom to floor like ttlfll ffltll Very versatile rudiment.

[@kikegroove2035]

Genial!! 🥁👏

[@tigranpanteleev]

Everything drumming wise is great! (Kinda) no offense but it's a little bit upsetting (kinda) to see for a (kinda) non English speaker how the language is (kinda) downgrades with all those "kind of" additions to it :)))

[@calebbinenemosakolimojo8397]

Video drum battle eric moore vs mosakoli mojo caleb binene 😍 ❤

[@PorLaPalabraChile]

😄👍

[@backmax]

lmao thats trash. not clean , poor technique ect... but hey its nice to see the push for equality ...

[@alexandrbaskakov4175]

Thanks for video, but please don't use it in rock or funk or pop beats. It sounds great in jazz.
