[@craiglawrence1786]

Just discovered your lessons and they are very good. Excellent explanation and expansion of the original idea making it so useful. Enjoying learning from you, although I find them a challenge as I'm not that good yet. Thank you for what you do & and keep them coming, please.

Oh yeah!

Great lesson. Great playing. I was looking at your drum book. Can you tell me, is the play along music you are playing to for your drum book available?

[@DrummerMartijn]

Hi Emilde, thanks! In my drum book(s) I only use/refer to actual songs. You can find full (free) playlists on KZbin & Spotify. Search for 'Drummers Of The Future'! Enjoy!

Thanks Alex!

Nice man, very cool

New drummer here. Love the vid, but a bit lost on the count when you add the bembe beat (rim shot and toms). If I'm counting by 4 triplets (ex: 1-trip-let), does the bembe pattern begin on the 'let' of 1, and the toms hit on the 'trip' and 'let' of two?

[@DrummerMartijn]

Exactly!

Хотелось бы ещё на тему Африки 😊

👍👍👍😊

[@dksenanayake]

can you provide fill notation at 3.25

[@DrummerMartijn]

Basically a six stroke rol! I have a video lesson about that as well!

[@jasonk151]

You should count this last conga pattern for us? It’s completely different rhythm then the paradiddle groove and has different timing and you don’t count it for us.

[@DrummerMartijn]

(1)-(2)-3-(4)-5-6 & repeat. You also might wanna check the ‘Ionian Mode’ in my most recent tutorial: it’s the same groove! Enjoy!

[@clifton7007]

It's a similar groove to the nanigo no? With a minor alteration. Great groove though👍

[@DrummerMartijn]

I'm not 100% sure. To my knowledge, I'm actually demonstrating a Bembé groove. But in various books/lessons, nanigo & bembe are considered to be the same groove. Then again, I also found some examples where there's indeed a small difference in how's the bell pattern been approached. As I meant to record this lesson for the 'intermediate working pop & rock drummer', I didn't want it to make it overly detailed.

Noice. :)

[@clifton7007]

It was a great lesson. Really learned a lot from it and your playing is very tasteful. Grooves super hard. Keep up the great work Martjin.
