Keith Carlock Paradiddle Diddles | Study The Greats

[@Joesfosterdogs]

This has to be the most bad ass of all the fills in the series. Ferocious comes to mind.

[@funkywhite]

Wow. Can't decide if I'm more impressed with Keith Carlock, or the fact that you were able to transcribe this! :)

[@ettorelachina3587]

Is it you to transcribe? Not a software?

[@DrumeoOfficial]

Great lesson Austin! :)

[@abbdrums]

Thank you so much! That means a lot coming from you guys. I love everything you are doing for the drum community and have a ton of respect for what you guys have built 🙏

[@corykeur8270]

Kieth carlock

[@drumhd1]

Outstanding!

[@jsadorra]

Drumeo, can you bring Austin in as a guest instructor? That would be sick.

[@Smoove_J]

The paradiddlediddle was always one of my favorites. Easy to get up to speed, lots of practical applications. One of the 10 or so rudiments worth remembering.

[@ethancurtis8954]

I like how humble you are bro haha! The fact that your pulling off all the stuff that these great drummers are doing is insane. Its a talent in itself you can even break down half of these! Seriously though bro great lesson.

[@Johnbobon]

I agree with this. Doing it is one thing. Being able to break down what the greats are doing and then doing it yourself it next level. Very well done.

[@jazzyblueobrien3734]

eathan are these negitive comments from these other guys for real? because if anyone takes the time to break down something i cant work out god i'm blessed at last im on my way to doing it ...thank you all who take the time and have the abilty to do this very articulate these very intrickeid rythem's (please excuse spellings Blue O brien dublin...we have one life it is not a rehearsel IT'S THE REAL THING friends

[@jarruby]

This is one of the most clear, concise, and approachable breakdowns of a seemingly insane chop that I've ever seen. Kudos.

[@SteveToccoDrummer]

Excellent analysis, explanation AND demonstration. You are a superb teacher and drummer!!!!

[@davemackey1712]

Austin thanks so much for this channel. Two years ago I learned how to transcribe using Logic from you. It is one of the most valuable tools in my toolbox now. Subscribed!

[@KickItLikeBonham]

Count this as comment #351 tipping my hat in great respect to you, man! This was an awesome breakdown of one of the best drummers to be born in the last 50 years. Thanks so much for all you do, Austin!

[@JustTutupa]

Your playing is ridiculously clean. Great great lesson

[@LNBBNL789]

This guy is insane, such tasteful grooves. One of my favorite drummers.

[@trevor7234]

"mmmMMMMMM" -Austin Burcham every video xDDD

[@jazzyblueobrien3734]

[@Amigaudio]

Nasty!

[@ofirshukrun449]

[@jasoncampbell3955]

You have a gift for instruction. I truly enjoy how well you make these chops simple to play.

[@AdamTuminaro]

Dope as always!

[@thomasmann9175]

sending some gratitude and kudos from London UK pal. Thanks for breaking these things down for us mortals!

[@kummer45]

This man is gifted. He's a teacher. He applies strict analysis to the great drummers. We comprehend more about their talent thanks to him. Keith open the door for us. Keith I wish you reach the hall of fame.

[@DeluxeTriple]

nss

[@KevWhitehead]

Brilliant vid Austin, thanks very much! I don't know how you managed to transcribe this ... well done my friend!!

[@philtrudell8053]

Thank you Austin. You have a great knack for explaining complex concepts so normal people can understand.

[@johnvaldez6722]

I'd like to add that what makes Keith Carlock so great at using this rudiment in his playing, apart from his improvisational genius and phrasing, are his tone, articulation and dynamics. This is evident in the very first segment of this video. Keith is almost always striking the same part of the drum every time, and his doubles are dead even with no pulsation from left hand to right. This makes his rolls silky smooth. He also brings out his accents in prominent fashion so that the emphasis of his phrases are essentially the accents and not the double stroke rolls. The coolest thing by far, in my opinion, is how Keith is able to build and release tension in his rolls with dynamics and well-timed cymbal crashes.

[@Thedrummersalmanac]

Good drummers borrow... great drummers steal! I love your channel Austin. Keep it up...

[@HeavyOpera1]

That fill is insane. I can’t stop watching it. Great video. Nice job breaking it down, but, man, it’s still insane.

[@mtavarez4561]

Brother you are such a inspiration to the drumming community thank you so much for all your visit Brother you are such a inspiration to the drumming community thank you so much for all your vids I was already a big fan of the para diddle diddle and used it in several groove and improv situation but you have really given a great approach through studying Keith Car Lot Thanks again for your videos and your enthusiasm for the drums!!!!

[@charlesseagraves6210]

Austin, just subscribed to your channel and I must say, I’m impressed. You have a good, clear voice and you use no-nonsense language. I appreciate that. Keep up the good work and I’ll spread the word on your channel! 👍

[@markyarwooddrummer6567]

Hello from the UK pal. Great stuff. Your vid's are one of the best i've seen with regard to lessons, explanation and execution of fills and grooves. They are very helpful! I know how much time and effort must go into them. And just wanted to let you know it's appreciated! Great technic on the drums and with the audio software dude.

[@DanBerens2112]

Austin you are flippin' amazing. To break down what others are doing in steps and re-teach is a great skill in itself. I've admired Kieth Carlock for awhile and often refer to the Vic Firth clip to say to my drummer friends, "Yeah, but have you seen this?" I wrote to Kieth awhile back explaining that I had no Idea what he was doing but I was blown away, etc. He was very cool to get back to me with a simple 'thanks!'.

[@HybridFitness762]

This is genuinely one of my favorite fills, I cannot wait to try and learn to play thanks to this, Nice one man!

[@mlaugh3]

how could someone give you a thumbs down? You are a great drummer and teacher. Thank you!

[@rrcorsobrakeman8647]

Great video. I got to see him years ago in the front row at Bentleys Drum Shop. Definitely someone worth studying. Best doubles I've ever seen and great traditional grip. Lots of power. He's a stick of dynamite !

[@KyleAnastasio]

Austin, your videos are sick! In 40 years studying I can't remember enjoying learning from my favorites so much. By the way, your chops are the shit. Keep the videos coming. I'll pay..

[@sanityinaseaofmadness7353]

Yup. I'm really digging your analysis, as well as the transcription. The playing certainly aint shabby either :) This one's a keeper, Austin - thanks

[@geraldballesteros3839]

Very cool breakdowns. Thank you Austin for giving time for us. :D

[@michaelmattice4986]

Great job breakin' it down Austin! Thanks for taking the time and sharing. Continued success! Happy drumming!!!:)

[@rimshot63]

This is amazing! Love the concept and the transcription and breakdown...these are some seriously inspiring lessons presented in such a way as to make the seemingly impossible suddenly seem quite possible.

[@TerryGreeneII]

So funny because I was just showing someone that Vic Firth video. I got to stand right by his high hat at the 55 bar in NYC several years ago with Wayne Krantz and James Genus. It was raw fusion in every sense of that word. Afterwards I spoke to him. He said that he's always trying to channel that THUMP in what he does. It's like the doubles (diddles) are all connected to that thing too. I will never forget that night because the whole group was KILLING it.

[@drummer542]

This is really a fantastic drum channel. Great job Austin

[@Wasatchhomesandestates]

Nice break down. I saw him doing this with Steely Dan and couldnt figure out what he was doing. I just knew it was one of the sickest licks I had ever seen. Thanks for breaking it down.

[@packstevewood]

Once again thanks for breaking it down for us Austin.

[@johnnychannarong5484]

I can’t believe I didn’t see this channel before ! Great stuff !

[@holygroove2]

Met him at the 55 bar a few years ago. He was playing with James Genus on bass and Wayne Krantz on guitar (I hope I spelled the name right!) Carlock told me that he is actively trying to channel a straight up funky feeling in what he does. I think this is part of why his fills and overall technique are so strong. He plays a lot without getting in the way of the other players. Very hard to do. He is an amazing drummer. Good teaching video btw.

[@nateman34]

I've been playing drums a long time, and I know a good lesson when I see it. Giving this away for free is a public service.

[@alisaiterkan]

This is an example of great instruction. Thank you very much.

[@janetremsing6988]

👍🙂Carlock's a human whirling dervish!! 😮‼️

[@JarahOnDrums]

That is some crazy stuff! I love how when broken down it becomes so clear.... and you realize how "Attainable" it is... nice lesson, Austin :)

[@thewelshwizard5869]

Lovely playing and lovely kit. 👌🥁🥢

[@smoukondeuoter]

you totally naild it Austin! very well played and also explained!

[@nixneato]

This was just some INCREDIBLE transcribing and analyzing, thanks a lot!

[@TheNaughtyEskimo13]

Great job as always! One of Keith's signature fills. Awesome!

[@jtreid1999]

Very well-done! Solid rudimental foundation Austin and a clear breakdown of Carlock's go-to fill/groove. Of course, if we could only play it with the same ferocity as Carlock does! Cheers!

[@MrAlainpoudrier]

You are so mechanical but fluid at the same time.... so cool. Well done !

[@blahblahoink]

Keith really works his drums! Brilliant. Really well presented explanation too.

[@DovSkipperDrummer]

Thanks for breaking this one down Austin. It's amazing how the doubles smooth out at 115bpm. Well played.

[@peterknispel4020]

You are a fantastic musician Austin. Rock On. That was fantastic playing by you man.

[@DrummaMan75]

SO SO nice to see a fellow traditional grip player!! excellent lessons. Gonna sub!
