Kick - Right - Left | "Simple & Effective"

Hey Drumheads,
At last, a short video... I tried to keep this one quick and informative for all you "Scrub-a-dubbers" out there...
Lately, I have found myself using KRL more and more often. It's VERY easy for me to implement into my everyday playing and hopefully you will find it useful as well! There are TONS of ways you can alter it and these are just a few. Have fun exploring and taking this simple yet effective pattern for a spin.

Thank you for pointing out that this is something that's been around for many years. Tommy Lee and other 80's drummers made triplets a regular thing. Actually, Bonham did before they did.

[@BrandonScottDrums]

Giving credit where it is due! There's no way anyone can claim to have "Patented" a drum pattern! I'm sure cavemen played paradiddles on the ground with sticks. XD But yes, I know Bonham definitely brought this one to light for many people. For me, It's all about sharing! There's so much to learn, why cant we all just share what we know?!

@@BrandonScottDrums I personally often play it as 16th notes while leaving the 2 on the snare and ending the bar little snare fill, works well to induce some slight change in the beat feel while keeping it clean and easy. I should aim for triplets more often now that I think about it :)

How do you get the snare to sound SO good? Jesus man.

[@Maiker1312]

Tuning and rimshot

[@NakisuzBraze]

Equalizer

[@jtnoodle]

Good heads for starters. Then crank the snare side tight. Start low with the batter side. Tune up from there (evenly) in 1/4-1/2 turns til you get to the sound you want. Simple as that. Tom's should be tuned so both heads resonate with each other

[@BrandonScottDrums]

​ @rts Nailed it. This is basically how I tune my snare. Also this Evans HD Dry combo with this Love Custom Drums Copper over Brass snare sounds great. I crank the top head as well. And yes, the rimshot changes the game. I mic the top and bottom head. Also, I do a little bit of EQ in post as well. Throw a little reverb and boom. Got it.

[@jfbruno]

THIS is what I've been looking for! Thanks!

[@matteoaroi8681]

This is actually pretty awesome advice. These fills sound hella fun and even impressive at faster tempos but I guess they feel very natural and "easy" to play. The hardest part probably is choosing where to go with your hands. Definitely gonna give this a go on the kit.
