Yep. Those are the ones. I would also add the RLRLLK to that list. And to get double mileage out of ANY lick, make sure you can play each one in a straight 16th or 32nd note fashion and also in a triplet fashion.

Great drummers control adrenaline which is not easy to do. People say its rushing or not having good time but its really a physical adrenaline issue. Breathing is a huge part of it. These greats are able to slow things down mentally and practice at a cadence where they can nail what theyre working on then speed up or down as needed.

I have never been able to lock down the ghost notes. But over years of playing I realized that is the secret sauce these drummers have developed to make them so incredible but it’s so hard to do if you haven’t been trained to play that way and you’re self taught.

I'd say that you need to play to all this and count the downbeats simultaneously, also play to it while counting upbeats. Also work on your accents and ghost notes as well as doubles (or your sound will be crap). The sticking is easy, the work which is behind is enormous in order to make it sound the way it needs to sound. Pro keep practicing these things everyday, it's the only way to get a consistent and smooth playing.
@hashira91666 ай бұрын
Excellent video! One thing I like doing with the 6-stroke rolls (as 16th triplets mostly) is to just play the first half of it once in a sequence (R l l) and that way you can have your six stroke rolls end up on the upbeats and move the accents around the beats.

Great video Brett! I think the most important think about "chops" or "gospel chops" or whatever you call it, is application. The 6 stroke roll will be your friend if you can just apply it everywhere and at different note values (with breaks too!). Also I can't help but ask, you from South Africa or Australia?

@RotoTomDrums6 ай бұрын
Great lesson! Something else that helps develop chops is breaking out of the 4- or 8-bar phrase. This is especially true if you have to little to no training playing solos. When you're chopping you're basically abandoning the downbeat on 1 for at least 16-bars (almost as though you were a rapper with a 16-bar window). The challenge is knowing where you are in that space and how to come back in on the one once you're finished. It's liberating but also a little nerve wracking.

Start with tuning drum sounds short rather than making the heads “resonate” with the rebound for chops; chops on an 80’s arena rock kit will make nullify those blazing sounds from reaching ears.

0:32 You're talking about licks. Chops are the things (hands) you use to play the licks. Don't worry about it -- almost everyone gets it wrong 😄
@brettclurdrums6 ай бұрын
If everyone gets it wrong, doesn't that make them right? Honest question haha. The debate around the meaning of chops is really interesting. At its truest form, I would say that it refers to someone's proficiency on an instrument. "Did you see that guy playing guitar? He had some serious chops". But I agree with you and also don't agree with you at the same time. In the current internet space, most drummers just think about drum fills, repeating patterns, and shedding when hearing the word chops.
@dfinma5 ай бұрын
@@brettclurdrumsYes, the meanings have changed recently. "Chops" originally referred to a [skilled] horn player's lips, which came from the phrase "getting punched in the chops" (teeth/mouth), teeth being known as "choppers" (easy enough to understand). Shedding means practicing, which was derived from [literally] practicing in the wood shed so you didn't bother people in the house. Practicing was also known as "chopping wood" so I contend "chops," as in the skill you get from practicing, has two origins -- lips and, by extension, whichever bodypart performs the activity and the act of practicing which results in skill. But it's ok -- only us old guys know this! 😄

Honestly, i don't even like it when drummers do stuff so crazy you can't even tell there if there's even a rhythm and tempo anymore, which is the whole point of a drummer in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, they could also be pretending like they're still keeping track when in reality they're probably just as lost hitting random things left and right
