Thank you! You are an amazing teacher. Very thorough and easy to understand lessons. I am hooked on your channel & a subscriber too. I share these videos with my drummer friends and they are all excited to learn your lessons.

[@silviovega7874]

Great lesson- Gracias Bro!

[@MrTrashie]

Thanks that is something i am trying at the moment REALLY SPOT ON CHEERS !.

[@ukaszczwartos5096]

Thank you very much for this video

[@zacdrake]

I really like your teaching style! Giving those "heads up's" for stickings or patterns that are a little tricky and/or challenging is a great idea. Very helpful to those of us that are not quite masters of our instrument yet!

[@jeraldcuccurullo2497]

Great lesson mate!! Very useful and sounds Killer!!!

[@livebandmanagementuk]

One of my favourite drummers on the web 👍

[@77easy77]

again a great video Louie, I tried it today and reached 140 bmp and was actually doing 70bpm then doubling up sometimes and changing the number of toms within the same exercise.. bottom line im very thankful for your videos and I'll end up signing up to your website as soon as I can afford it

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Nice! Glad you tried the exercise!

[@MonacoRocha]

You are a Very Clean Precise Drummer !!! Great ! Love your Videos !!

[@blapis89]

Both your teaching and playing is superb. I'm really a fan of your videos, Ive been working with your foundation exercises since more than a year. Thanks, a lot.

[@louiepalmerdrums]

That's great...thanks!

[@SandroBonato]

[@johndiraimo1444]

Awesome Louie ... foundation, foundation !!!

[@jaironalexanderaranaestrad7347]

Great lesson, teacher Louie! 😊

[@vaughnchauncy8360]

Good stuff!

[@theavenger3363]

Louis, your tuning is always amazingly good. Do you feel like sharing your method? Many thanks for all your great playing …

[@steffenbrix]

You, sir, are awesome :)

[@agostinoscuotto2911]

LOUISE SEI UN FENOMENO SUL DRUMSET, IO SONO UN DRUMMER, MA TE SEI UN GRANDE..........BUON NATALE LOUISE

[@wayanoiddrummer2998]

Great!!

[@gregwilliams2764]

Also I forget to say that I'm warming up with "flowing" and then "fun with triplets". It's a blast !

[@joeporter107]

Outstanding

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Thanks!

[@jarrahdrum]

It's just awesome this is :-)

[@ghart56]

great control, relaxed, your looking at the drums when playing. love your playing attitude. ego at the door.

[@jamesdancer73]

Louie, I've always wondered how high you sit at the drums. I can't really tell from these videos. It would be great if you did a video where you showed us your set up and why you set everything up the way you do. I love you channel, James

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Hi james - I go through all that stuff on the members site at playbetterdrums.com - but in terms of how high, I sit fairly low compared to most (seat height and compared to drums). I sit with hips just above knees, so there is a slight slope to my thighs. I like to sit 'in' the drums rather than on top.

[@tatumalvar]

NICEEE

[@shawndrumm3090]

You're a machine

[@bhaveshsolanki6485]

You know I hate you Louie why you ask? Because your too good! Lovely playing mate Bhav

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Thanks!

[@mariosan9969]

Good

[@gravitydrums1391]

This is very close to what I posted but is very good.

[@RC-jv6ye]

veeery interesting

[@paulfridrich5649]

Great exercises. where is the pdf? Gotta learn this

[@louiepalmerdrums]

PDF in description! Hundreds more lessons at playbetterdrums.com

[@RubenTeixeiraDrummer]

whats his rides? its awesome

[@richardpine8011]

Thats a Sabian Fierce Ride. Think its the 21".

[@vincentsantarelli6915]

where can I find your foundation exe for wrist in German Grip

[@louiepalmerdrums]

You can find all my online lessons (over 160) at playbetterdrums.com - we're currently in the middle of the hand technique course which deals with grips, wrist exercises, finger exercises and overall hand technique routines.

[@FrankDag]

Do you keep clicking sticks or are you hitting the rims? Either way, good on you for not doing thirty takes until it's "perfect." It's good when teachers show students they make mistakes too. I met Dave Lombardo a couple decades ago and asked him a bunch of double-bass questions and I was surprised when he told me, "I don't always do it on the first take." Too often we think that if we're not 100%, ALL THE TIME, we're failing.

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Probably hitting the rims....no one is perfect!

[@urthondurdie]

This "Palmer" name has a certian ring to it. Any connections?

[@MrWoodmansson]

Hi Loui! can´t find the pdf? 404 error... Nice exercise:-)

[@MrWoodmansson]

Aha member issue......

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Look like PDF is working

[@CookingwithSpoonz]

Holy shit dude

[@musicdrumming8751]

Is there part 2 ?

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Yes, in my online school playbetterdrums.com…with 350 other lessons!

[@gregwilliams2764]

What is your drum Brand ? The toms are outstanding.

[@razadrum]

In This video Louie is playing Yamaha Hybrid Maple, but he is a Gretsch endorser for everything he's 'official' on (artists' recordings.etc.) I believe

[@ofdrumsandchords]

I play these drums and it produces very few harmonics, even with ambassador heads. I've known richer sounds, but you don't step too much on others players sound with it on stage, and it's low without needing big sizes. Good, esay to tune but definitely not my favorite kit.

[@larrytate1657]

They don’t have too much tone?

[@larrytate1657]

I tried them and disagree. Loads of tone, in fact needed moongel on the 10 tom and floor tom. Very good drums,

[@larrytemp3063]

A'LA VIRGIL DONATI CHRIS COLEMAN

[@TakisT888]

made the secound exercise within 2 mins

[@worst_coffeeoverdose8936]

no rebound sir...just plain wrist?...thanks

[@RicardoGonzalez-fb9li]

Ma-ma, pa-pa, ma-ma, pa-pa…

[@drumsanddrumming]

I`ve tried every drumhead there is... Remo is still the best sounding

[@kevinsloan5570]

Thats your opinion only , NOT a statement of fact . And by the way who made you the voice of ALL drummers ? And opinions are like arseholes . everybody has one !

[@drumsanddrumming]

of course it is my opinion- since I`m the one who wrote it

[@robertocalderonabogado1427]

For me its Evans. when I removed the Remo heads it was a huge difference, the Level 360 technology makes the drum resonate more accurate and natural with the head, also easier to tune up. It is an eternal discussion among drummers, like Canon and Nikon for photographers or Bose Vs. JBL in audio.

[@evanrichards8618]

my drum skills are way better cause of u

[@sting5989]

Do not touch the drums after the show exercises. PLEASE!!!!!!!!

[@tlkshowhst]

He mutes them so they don't bleed into his voice mic.
