Beautiful hands, awesome lesson, sick rudiment! I hope Deleon does more of these.

[@0Aquamelon]

“It’s actually really simple.” Oh really? Great! “So it’s paradiddle diddles hand to hand.” Um... ok? That sounds ok so far. “And accents on the diddles.” Ok... I may need a bit of work on accents and taps then, but go on. “And a flam on the first note.” ... In what world is this simple?

[@kzoxxx112]

when it flowwwsssss.. Just work on it mate, expect no instant gratification on working out these. But yeah, it should feel good when it flows. Gluck...

[@leedanielisla2440]

bro we can do this

[@0Aquamelon]

Daniel 197 I’m not really much of a snare player, and I’m working on a different thing right now, so... I’ll get back to that one later. Definitely is a rudiment I wanna learn

[@nickgodi9001]

I was the one that taught you dude

[@myoman1977]

No I'm spartacus

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Nice. Cool looking rudiment.

[@VicFirthCompany]

@quincy doenges They're the Mike Jackson signature sticks!

[@jaysonmccloney6678]

Vic Firth do you guys have other concert sticks other than the sd1 series

[@sdmemes4life765]

jayson mccloney they have 2b series

[@fion_tan]

Thanks for teaching this rhythm in a slower and easier to understand way! Not showing off but teaching us how to do it:)

[@TRGBK6887]

AGREED! TOO many "teachers" just show off how fast they can play some rudiment or ditty and forget about the beginners that aren't as good or don't have the experience the so called teachers have. I can't stand it when drummers who call themselves "instructors" play more than teach how to play it

[@dfritz411]

I would LOVE a DVD/Book of all this stuff

[@trentulloa]

called youtube, or you could just download the vids and burn them on a disk

[@LBird44]

freaking awesome

[@whitneykeen3561]

The flam paradiddle -diddle has been one of the 26 standard drum rudiments forever, hasn’t it? He’s just changing the accent structure.

[@LiquidSoapBubblez]

Learned how to grid them!

[@ivandcortes360]

Excelent. More videos of rudiments.

[@deuceandrews7431]

Is that the slim pad or stock pad? It sounds really good

[@jacobtorres4540]

It's the slim pad

[@cameroncaneta6931]

You went to Lakeside!!!

[@PuppaSantana]

Muito bom... Very good!!!

[@matheusferreira7229]

Mestre puppa! O senhor ainda está em Curitiba? Forte abraço

[@PuppaSantana]

Matheus Ferreira Estarei tocando domingo em Curitiba no Teatro Bom Jesus!!! AbraSOM....

[@QuinDoenges]

What kind of sticks is he using??

[@sg_zoro3358]

Inverted flam tap diddle diddle hopefully that helps

[@fabiobateratigre]

FABIO BAERA SOM NATURAL PERFORMANCE VIC FIRTH

[@sylux6985]

Which sticks is he using? Or can someone recommend some sticks for my practice pad ? (Have the same pad as in the video)

[@RAVISHANKARVERMA-xl2mv]

Nice

[@rifle2563]

So who taught manny balloons

[@wjbmusic3944]

so theyre flam parrididdlediddles (not saying i can do them)

[@legionact]

no because they have the accent on the diddles so its not just a flamed paradiddlediddle

[@chair3736]

Wyatt Blakely without accents, they are easy

[@TuffGongVA]

I can't be the only one that saw the sped up sections?

[@saulmighty]

Don't play so fast, you're destroying my self worth as a drummer... 😵

[@sid5527]

it was me

[@jaxsage5767]

If this is "really easy" I don't want to learn a difficult Hybrid Rudiment.

[@Yuridl]

This shit is impossible!!

[@TRGBK6887]

Nothing is impossible. Impatience just gets the best of you. It takes a while for you to play at his speed. You're SUPPOSED to practice it SLOWLY THEN the speed will come.

[@jorgechavez3658]

Lol: P

[@charliebucket54]

he's pretty good for a black guy

[@programmedwrong3795]

He seems nice, but for some reason I was annoyed watching this.

[@noahbylski1744]

Its probably due to the fact that he’s insanely good

[@programmedwrong3795]

Noah Bylbag probably

[@300kike]

This guy tries so hard to be cool

[@300kike]

he's definitely a great player. Just an overly cocky guy

[@tykuhnert3668]

GortDiminished did you reply to yourself?

[@gunner-qf9eh]

He is a DCI Champion with the Blue Devils. Dude is already cool.

[@300kike]

[@dratam4ever]

OMG YOUR TECHNIQUE IS HORRIBLE SO STOP TELLING EVERYONE THAT IT ISNT HARD I AM A 13 YEAR OLD AND I HAVE BETTER TECHNIQUE THAN YOU

[@myoung48281]

I'm glad he thinks this is easy, I can do diddle diddles very easily, this one is tough.

[@ariellee3583]
