How to play Blue Devils Flams on snare drum

[@alexisrodriguez3072]

67 years old I marched in drum corps 47 years ago stop playing seriously but I would pick up my sticks every once in a while then I saw your tutorials you are very explicit you have a great gift and I thank you for that now I can follow all your tutorials and play them all not as quick as I used to be, but I can’t still play and share what I learned once again thank you and God bless you.

[@barrymonroy7138]

Yes.!!! You finally did it brother 🙏 🙌. Thank you!!! Im 41 and I'm going master this exercise 💪

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Yes! DO IT brother!! you'd all be pretty surprised at my youtube viewer demographic percentages !! I think there are enough viewers just on my videos for drum meets or even new drumlines for LOTS of 30-70 year olds.

[@cartercluff7298]

As I was going to subscribe, I was shocked to see you didn’t have hundreds of thousands of subscribers!! Your videos are super high quality and extremely helpful!! Keep it up

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Thanks for subbing!

[@waddayatolkinabeet]

you gotta do double beat 9000 it's too much of a classic to not have been done yet

[@kylephillipwolff]

[@AltBoi-l4x]

You should do a tutorial on “Sterling” from Blue Devils 2014

[@fazbearentertainment7505]

please cover Bluecoats - Suzie but I know you have a video about suzie before but it's not the whole thing

[@FreestyleRudiments]

any more people want this? 👇

[@andrewmitchell9732]

Thanks Geoff, I know its been about for ages but still one of my favorite exercises

[@FreestyleRudiments]

[@monkael1438]

[@FreestyleRudiments]

[@tobeyhayes7808]

[@FreestyleRudiments]

thanks for watching and comment

[@williamakabucket]

This one has always been tough especially the lR lR lR lR rL rL rL rL rL at the end

[@FreestyleRudiments]

yea I struggled with that more than any other, I dont have fast finger speed for those.

[@aikrn0256]

Can you do a tutorial on how to do the mandarins snare break?? 🙏🏻🙏🏻 i love watching all your videos and i would really love it ❤

[@williammarrs]

Caught this one early, lets goooo

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Enjoy

[@Joshdrumz]

Amazing video as always!!! Looking to learn all the bd warm ups to hopefully make the line one day. Could you make a video on their triplet partial warm up? 🙏

[@JonathanMarkel]

You should do Cavaliers snare break from this year!

[@johnnytess9632]

Hey man, I really love the stuff your doing! Made me want to pick up my old drumsticks on the floor lol. But if you don’t mind can you cover “Ca blamm!” It’s a cavaliers warm up and bluecoats use to do it back in the days but it was just known as “blamm” It’s a very groovy warm up😎

[@MassimoEHundt]

What ist the metronom called you are using? I think your vids qre very cool, thanks for your effort and keep filming these nice tutorials! Greetings from Germany 💪🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@FreestyleRudiments]

thanks the Metronome is called Pro Metronome and the App is called SnareEssentials It has sim sound.

[@jackhed]

can you do blamm (bluecoats ‘08)?

[@charliemontiel1129]

Sterling please 🙏🏻

[@barrymonroy7138]

Are pera fla flas considered cheeses???

[@FreestyleRudiments]

Whats your favourite? BD Flams (old School Chucky Cheese) 👍 or BD Flams (Modern like I teach here?) 👎

[@bobbarksofficial4335]

Both are classics for sure

[@FreestyleRudiments]

@@bobbarksofficial4335 for sure. Any exercise played for more than 3-4 years has chance of becoming a classic!

[@glim3125]

I learned the modern one during the pandemic and it quickly became my favorite. I don't like the new ending they have been doing so its nice to see you cover the version I actually enjoy. I think every snare drummer should have this exercise in their arsenal.

[@FreestyleRudiments]

@@glim3125 yea agree the new ending doesn’t groove for me.

[@AldeanLeger]

I was hoping to hear what you do with the feet

[@Maxortgiesen]

Day one of asking for SCV 2011 snare feature

[@FreestyleRudiments]

this? instagram.com/cayden.chops/reel/C3-1sElu7n0/

[@CrowT]

21/8....I think he means 2⅝s😐

[@Maezzzzz]

I don’t like whoever came up with inverted flam taps

[@FreestyleRudiments]

you'll eventually learn to LOVE them 👍

[@alexisrodriguez3072]

Once you get them, you will love them
