This has definitely been my hardest struggle for drumming, thanks for completely taking that away and giving me the confidence I needed! :D

I can't believe what a valuable resource Drumeo has been!!!

[@nixneato]

Hi Jared, another great video, a lot harder than it sounds. My approach to this was always: "Take ANY rudiment that you're practicing, and just stick a kick in between the notes". Great way to build up coordination and foot speed at the same time...

[@yoppity]

From all us amateurs, THANK YOU! Years of hating my left foot, 5mins exercise for 2 days and BAM! Not perfect yet but soo sooo soooo much better.

[@Turtlesnakemoose]

I just bought my first kit (e-kit) and its my first time playing the drums, and i just have to say that all your videos are extremely helpful. Thank you, really.

[@micolcervantes3814]

Holy crap this really works! I practice the first exercise for about 20 minutes and reach 200 bmp but I played it in quarter notes. I was struggling on a song with meant for a double bass pedal but can be played on a single pedal. Anyhow, I kept on hitting the crash at the exact same time my foot would hit the bass drum. I played it over once and I did the same thing in the beginning but halfway through the song I noticed I could actually play my right foot independently and not have to worry about my foot flowing my right hand.

[@ashishhembrom3905]

What song is that?

[@xoreydirty]

And you could play your pedal independently and not have it connected to your right hand? Cause I have that problem and I wanna know if this video helped you with that

[@ferdasynn]

- Hey everyone, Jared here and today we're gonna talk about separating your limbs. - No thanks Jared, I'd rather keep my limbs on.

[@donfiedonfie]

I started drumming two years ago. I'm 42 now so that gives you some idea of the difficulty I face. My whole left side has basically been a passenger all my life. Once my mates got sick of every pattern being minor variations of 8th notes with the kick on the 1 and the 'and' of 3, it was time for real practice. I've looked at lots of KZbin drum teachers, but I always come back to Jared. If you do what he says, you'll get there. If it works for me, it should work for anyone. So, thanks Jared.

[@TheMk34]

10 years later, are you still drumming? I'm 36 and have always wanted to play the drums.

[@kalank2011]

Tried this out today. My legs tense up while playing the bass drum on certain tracks. This really helped ease that. Thanks man. Gonna keep practicing this one.

[@DrumeoOfficial]

It takes 5 minutes to learn it, but it took me around a week to really get everything going properly. And I am below average :)

[@meatcannon8691]

SAMEE :,) i finally got it now tho

[@ogboogerdog]

1st step was so frustrating but after a couple hours of repeating over and over again I finally got it and the rest was much much easier. Great help

[@appelsinsaft]

Worlds best drumlessons, and they are free! Unbelieveable.

[@Ludwinslayerfan]

omg! finally I've been looking for this for so very long this has always been my weak spot

[@natecombsmusic]

i've been wanting to become more advanced at my main instruments lately, so i've been watching a lot of youtube videos for guitar, piano, and drums. while the others are great, yours are my favorite. this exercise helps so much with clean separation, especially in fills that require off-beat kick pedal. thanks a bunch!

[@blastburn5]

Practicing with my invisible drums :(

[@o.u_slowofficial6790]

Your not alone bro!!

[@Zemkee]

same here broski. all you need is a pair of sticks. Like Anthony Kiedis says, "music the great communicator, use two sticks to make it in the nature"

[@cavemanzach9475]

this is so hard oh man. I can groove with my hands but mixing my feet into it makes my hands want to do what my feet are doing. Great lesson I defnintely need to work on it

Exactly what I'm going through. It's tough

[@DrumeoOfficial]

I love you for trying! Keep it up and it'll all come together nicely :)

Is this 8 years ago or 8 hours ago -- Dude looks exactly the same. Mad respect for not aging! Drumeo's perpetual drum machine of youth.

[@daztastic147]

I’ve never had lessons and started playing as an adult, I have played lots of songs successfully but never actually learned with exercises. I tried this recently and was amazed how difficult I found it initially, but within 45 mins was able to get to 100bpm, I went up in 5bpm increments from 70. This was just the basic one to start with but I think it has helped me as I am now suffering less with my right leg trying to follow my right arm in some patterns! Good exercise thanks 👍

[@DoddseyFTW]

As with most all new drummers, this is an exercise that i really needed! Separating all my limbs has been the most difficult thing for me so far! Looking forward to using this exercise! Thanks!!

[@DrumeoOfficial]

Happy to be of service!

[@gavinglover-composer993]

This was very helpful, I've been working on four limb independence for a while for Bop and other jazz drumming. this did the trick!

[@marcogil6665]

Hey there! Begginer drummer aspiring to play jazz here, what other exercises would you recommend? thanjs

[@gavinglover-composer993]

@@marcogil6665 Honestly, if you've never really played jazz, I'd recommend learning the Purdie shuffle and other variations of the shuffle first. Drumeo has also done videos on this.

[@bair1382]

Nice... I have been looking for a video like this because my daughter (who is 4) stared playing about a year and a half ago but she plays open handed. All the videos I have come across on hand foot independence are for crossed handed players. Before this pandemic she was working on her hands foot independence with her teacher but I think your exercises are a lot better.

[@raymondbauer2152]

Starting young! She'll be a great drummer :)

[@bair1382]

@@raymondbauer2152 thank you. The funny thing is nether her mother or I play any instruments. so she is at the will of her teacher and now during this pandemic we watch a few KZbin videos or she will sing a song she knows and play the drums while singing.

[@xHawnkGamer]

For me this coordination is not letting me play some songs n very difficult, but when I have to open the hi hat or do a slide complicates this video ta helping me ^ ^ thank you for providing their time to bring this material

[@NTye]

My drum teacher plays and teaches in a really similar way to Jared, so watching these is like getting an extra lesson. Plus, this is exactly what we've been working on. Honestly, without these videos, I'd be absolutely useless on drums!

[@SamChaneyProductions]

This is surprisingly challenging for being so simple, thanks for a great exercise!

[@perfectlypeachy571]

Can’t wait to try this and do it! Thanks for all the great advice

[@Dizeeeeee]

This has been the thing that has been the most difficult to get to grips with. I am around 4 days now into practicing it now and I have been concentrating on it for most of my practice. I can do the quarter notes into triplets and out again at 70 maybe 80 bpm pretty although it has taken a long time and they are still far from perfect. I am now starting to introduce some hi hat notes and it's very difficult. It is going to take some time to learn this properly. I can't believe just how difficult this simple and straightforward exercise is.

[@MrBlasturbator]

Thanks Jared! This is a really useful exercise!

[@1989Samiksha]

I have always had difficulty playing the hands and feet separately... Will practice this... Thanks a lot! :)

[@DrumeoOfficial]

Agreed... We should've caught that. It's probably because I was playing it a little lighter then normal since there was a lot more notes in those patterns :)

[@AliceRiobueno]

thank's a lot guys! best regards from Venezuela!

[@Douger318]

I’ll sure be doing it. I’m 5( just started and to separate my limbs is most difficult to do. Thanks for all you do to help unsold folks out. Lol 😢

[@grandma_esc]

I played snare and other percussion instruments in my school band for ~8 years but almost never incorporated my feet (used a hi-hat like 5 times), and I feel like a complete newbie when I try playing on a drum kit now. It’s really frustrating to be all there with my hands, but not able to do more than extremely basic exercises when including feet. Hopefully with this I’ll be able to get somewhere :)

[@joshuapineda2654]

Amazing exercise. Proud to be Canadian!

[@mcdrums3988]

drumeo is bae xD I learned so much

[@RVJunke1]

@Jared -thanks for torturing me with what should be simple! Honestly love your style of teaching and this is another fantastic simple (not really) practice. I am forcing myself to do each until I can get to 120 BPM....2 days and almost have exercise 1 down...LOL!!!

[@titantompa]

The function of the spring is to provide rebound, i e it adds extra bounce to the kick. If you have it set too loose the kick doesn't flex back quickly enough for the next beat when you go fast. If it doesn't follow your foot snuggly back up again, e g it feels like your foot is losing contact with the pedal on the upstrokes, you've got it set too loose. I'm not sure if there's a definite downside from having it set too tight - so like Jared says: keep it on the tight side.

[@PoSyOfficial]

That fallout boy ass beat at 2:47 lmao but on some real shit Thank you for this video I asked the drummer how to get my hands and feet independent and he said there’s no cheat code just practice and I was like well that didn’t help

[@Edgar01m]

Man all your tips help soooooo much!!! Thanks!

It sound like an awesome lesson to practice at home. Will do it for sure. How long does it take for an average person to learn that stuff if we say we will rehearse 30 min a day? I have followed you in a bit over 4 months now and I am constantly progressing.

[@drummerhannah]

[@JMRSplatt]

Nice video man, but you need to work on getting more of a triplet feel when playing those sixtuplets. Great exercise though and nice technique!!!

[@DrumeoOfficial]

DO IT!

[@claymacvoy564]

I'm still having a hard time with step 1

[@ryanxj9000]

You're not the only one. I only got myself to be able to smoothly do it at 70bpm up to 85bpm. I'm gonna keep at it though. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get to 100bpm. I'm gonna keep this video open in a tab so I can keep coming back to it each practice session.

[@Thesubieman]

Same here. When i do left hand then base drum then right hand i keep following up with my left hand again and i keep doing that dumb shit. It makes me so annoyed

[@bevtecdiving6853]

I'm in the same boat. Just do 10mins per day and you get there.

oh gawd i need this and the other independence lesson

[@sallyselman8464]

I gotta say my yamaha dtx400x foot pedals are hard to use. I also seem to cramp up in the hip, so I'm using my heel instead of toe to tap pedal which helps. don't expect to being playing in the band, this is just hobby fun for me.

[@robertjackson6659]

Thanks !

[@jessysoulmanscofield]

I don't know But it might requires hours and hours to get it ! I realise how complete is he (and I should be) and how far we can go by working hard enough

[@christopherpapel9045]

I just started drums 2 months ago and I played for my church first time yesterday. 1st set was horrible. Since I'm new I don't have a drum kit at all though I do have drum sticks as I air drum with the sticks anywhere that enabled me to play yesterday. I'm using a pot each for the snare and floor Tom, however I'm just worried for my right foot cos there's no base drum. Doing the first exercise as of now

[@ajoninajerryprosper9686]

Thanks🙏🏽

[@tod4y]

Everybody purchase book called 4way coordination by Dahlgren and Fine. Great one.

[@VermaRonit]

100 bpm is really challenging. i barely make it up to 60. but the exercise is really good. 👍

[@DrumeoOfficial]

I just set it in the middle...Just make sure it's not too loose. Otherwise you're fine.

[@DrummClem]

Well, the second one is WAY harder than expected... let's do this anyway.

[@Basher252]

I am thinking of starting to drum, but i don't really understand when he is doing which part after Step 2. Could someone explain it easy to me with an order like RH+LF, RH, RF,LH+LF, LF (right,left,hand, foot). That would be awesome

[@flamegamingx4717]

If I drum and hit the hi hat with my right hand, my hand copies my foot....If I use my left hand for hi hat it doesn't bother me.

[@MrRaidersfan501]

thanks

[@gredangeo]

When you changed to the Triplets, it just sounded the like it was the same thing but a faster tempo. So to me, it made no difference than just playing it faster. I noticed that in a number of songs, (this is highly dependent on phrasing), but 4/4 with Triplets throughout, is no different than modifying the tempo and playing everything noted in 12/8.

[@gredangeo]

***** Yeah, so? 12/8 and 4/4 seem similar to me. The down beat changes on each foot, sure, but that's it. Writing the whole song in 4/4 and using Triplets the whole way through, defeats the purpose. Easier to notate in 12/8 and be done. I think the same way with 9/8 and 3/4. Assuming the core of the song is still counted in 3's. The difference that happened was, the tempo got adjusted, and now there are 9 eighth's to a bar, with each of the 3 beats being longer.
