[@mybiggrin]

I’m learning to play drums on keyboard, and you are quite literally my teacher. Thank you!

[@robertwegner1747]

Groove 3 -> try adding open hi-hat to 4-'and' of second bar

[@SidKhouri-qg2ly]

Reminds me of when I was taught by Peter heckingburg AUS drummer working in the USA since the 90's, excellent way of teaching and understandable too, thankyou man

[@a0nmusic]

you are the best drumming teacher on youtube. thank you. I am learning to play finger drums from your lessons!

[@BazFairbrother]

Love the way you break it down into understandable chunks but one thing I'd like is for you to play the full piece for a longer period of time to fully understand the rhythm.

I could watch this all day! I just love Funk music and watching how a drummer produces those funky grooves is just so cool! Also, the way British people say the word "proper" is just so much fun. One final note, her drum kit looks almost like a Pixar cartoon overlay in the video, kinda wild to watch it. I half expect an animated table lamp to start bounding across a desk. Keep up the great work, Emma! I'd love to see more of these funky grooves videos : ^ )

[@FionaFairlie]

Thanks again for another great video. Your explanations are so clear and concise, and they explain things I didn't know that I didn't know 😂

[@leegodwin2071]

Fantastic lesson/video Emma.. I love the way you take complicated drumming or complicated sounding drums (as you often say 😄) and make them simple and accessible for drummers of all skill levels. Thank you for all your work 🫶🥁🔥🪩

We want the Funk, give us the FOnk.

[@hillarycourchaine6829]

Absolutely love playing funk grooves, definitely going to add them to thrash metal guitar. Also, I absolutely love your videos and your channel 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@pianohar]

That second groove is from Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" on the Head Hunters album. It's crazy how this tune is taught on all instruments to build the rhythmic foundations for funk. That's as close as you can get to "quintessential" funk to me.

[@chezchezchezchez]

Love this. One of your better lessons.!

[@freedmindproductions6483]

I’ve Recently started playing drums and I’ve found your videos quite helpful would love some hip hop fill ideas

[@CaterinaDomenech1]

You're so good ❤

[@dominicmacinnes6451]

Can you do a tambourine groove pls, resting on top of the hi hat. We're trying to use it to accent a beat in the studio rn.

[@daveydemonhtown]

Islandic!

[@lobbyrobby]

New ekit? I'm fairly new to learning the drums. I can play different beats but apparently most of my practicing has been kick on 1 and 3. My brain has a problem not putting a kick on 3! Especially if I'm trying to practice a beat I don't know with ghost notes or something like that.

[@noahginsburg6140]

Small question because I just can’t hear it. But in groove 2 when you add those ghosties are you still playing the bass on 4..a and on 1 or is it ghosts on 4..a and bass just on 1?

[@daveydemonhtown]

yeauh!

[@jamesspencer686]

I'm sure I'm hearing it wrong. but it sounds to me at the end of groove two when you introduce the drag, you stop playing the bass on the a of 4? Am i going mad

[@RubenDrums812]
