*HEY Y'ALL! If you've been having trouble playing doubles on your toms, you surely ain't alone!. This video will fix you right up tout suite! Cheggit out and share it if you dig it* ✌🏾😉

[@WhiteWarWizard]

Love your content my man!!! Plus the phx is sooooo nice!! Thank you for what you do for us!! My single stroke and doubles have improved x10376539376 since watching these and incorporating them in my practice pad at night!! ☯️☮️

[@terickverges3275]

Rob thank you BROTHER for how you keep things so simple and straightforward, I'm a Yamaha GUY as well, appreciate your work and TEACHINGS

[@mrmisfit635]

I definitely dig it, Rob! 👍🏽

[@StacyODell]

This is naturally how I play doubles anyway so it's good to hear I was on the right track.

[@phillbr51]

Rob: "I'm going to show you this ridiculously simple technique"... plays insane drum piece... "see how easy that is?"

[@johnaaron6962]

I’ve been focusing on doubles lately so this video is right on time!

[@LimpBizkit999]

You’re not alone mate I’ve been doing the exact same thing. 👍🏼

[@yeetfeet1878]

Same here

[@gorifranco1]

Same for me. Right time right stuff. Tank you Rob Brown

[@matheuzzu9755]

Right on tiiiiime 🎶

[@drumyogi9281]

The hot coal analogy is PERFECT. I always wondered how to put it into words! Thank you Rob!

[@LimpBizkit999]

Beatdown is the best. Jim Chapin (rip) also used that analogy 🥁

[@gohopdrummer]

I stumbled upon these concepts by accident after working on my two-handed shuffle using push-pull technique in each hand. Push on the “lets” and pull on the “ones”. Accent the ones incorporating the elbow motion and, as Daniel Glass always says, focus on the “ups” (aka the “lifts”). Do it for a time at 40 bpm, 60, 80 and so on until you max out. Do that every day for a month; then try your doubles! ShaZAM!

[@mr.anderson70]

"Just pick a freakin' tom" threw me to the floor!

[@peterwhite3953]

For years I’ve thought that I just can’t do doubles well on Tom’s and that it was just me not doing something right. Your explanation of how the heads work against you was so obvious but a real eureka moment. Thanks Rob 🇬🇧👍🏻

[@rembeadgc]

"...just pick a freaking tom!" Love it! Lol!.

[@Johan-yv6rk]

I agree. So much fun playing with you Rob. I play with you every day. I have a request. Lesson one. How to electrify your drumset? Lesson two: How do you keep you’re family when playing at home? 😂

[@dorianclini]

Me 10 min after the video started: "OMG ROB IS PLAYING TRADITIONAL GRIP AGAIN!!"

[@maeu59]

I thought the same thing....what happened

[@dr.timschurig234]

Yes, and he didn't hurt himself. 😉👍

[@deepotter6774]

Great lesson as always, Rob! You’re really good at thinking through, and articulating the mechanics to show us how we have a chance at achieving your level of mastery. Thank you! 🙏

[@HuntingwithBrantley]

Tap dancing on a waterbed! Exactly!

[@StacyODell]

it's almost like a micro-Moeller motion. That little extra whip helps even out the sound.

[@Prop_2112]

Man your Doubles are so Fluid . Im still working on your other double stroke videos and getting a grasp on it slowly but surely. Thanks for all your time that you put into these videos.

[@geoffreydlang]

Great tutorial!! Just to throw another approach at this, I've found that if you practise doubles with an inverted sticking i.e. RLLR/RLLR/RLLR/RLLR (as sixteenth notes in a bar of 4/4), it seems to be more natural to pull that accent out of the 2nd stroke, as that stroke now becomes the downbeat as well as the 'and' between each of those beats.

[@thijs199]

It's nice to know that my instinct matches with your lesson, right. It's assuring to go find out stuff on your own

[@darkdrum1968]

Killer solo at the start. Brother.

[@tronlady1]

Anyone else “like” before watching all robs video’s?

[@garysoucie5145]

Hey, Dr. Beatdown, I just want you to know that I have looked at a lot of online drum instruction, and you are the best. Your approach to teaching is just right--not too didactic, not too laissez-faire.

[@joepinto7997]

Mr. Brown, sir, you are one hell of a good teacher. Your methods and tips "WORK." All one has to do is practice.

[@XeRo333]

You got me sold within the first minute of the video!! I LOVE hearing your solos on the drums. I'll definitely be adding this video to my "drum warmup" playlist

[@jonnifjader]

So inspiring and interesting to listen and watch your videos!! You give confidence! Kinda old now and never played in a band. Gave myself a Sonor kit as a 50y-gift 13 y's ago, mic'd my drums and learned to play fx Black Dog, Fool in The Rain, Walk This Way Rosanna.... but never really understood how to build my own drumming. Could listen to you for hours and everything is just exciting!! Thanks a Million! Best wishes from Sweden 😀

[@philipdean3688]

Those are some nice doubles on the snare at the beginning!

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

Thanks, man 🙂✌🏾

[@Mfusionhq]

Hi Rob I’ve only been drumming for 9 months I’m 45 years young As soon as I got my left hand doing the (2nd upward accent) going it got way better I kind of practiced hitting the pad in a dropping kind of motion too and then the 2nd stroke when I got the drop but right if that makes sense Anyway I absolutely love how you do your vids I’ve learned so many different techniques and thank you very much Think I deserve to buy myself a T or Hoodie 🤜💥🤛

[@wevarts1]

Always good material by Rob. Practical and works.

[@AardvaarkTonto]

Try this (very slowly at first): Do a pick up stroke and lift everything as normal Moeller pick up, tip leaves last, until the stick naturally ends up at the "hammering a nail" position (stop there a second). BUT when you bring the stick down KEEP THAT SHAPE (but don't LOCK) and let the whole arm drop from the elbow. Do not use any wrist, do not assist the elbow to drop in any way. Your fingers & wrist will move naturally anyway. You can lead with either the pick up or the drop stroke for the different accented beat. I suppose I ought to make a video but for me this saves a lot of strain on the tendons due to wrist up & down strokes. Just one wrist up stroke is needed (yes it DOES move both ways but the wrist is PULLED up rather than PUSHES up). Basically Moeller up hammer down. The static wrist is TERRIBLE at blood flow and the tendons are crowded meaning that finger work leads to RSI. Thus fast typist pool girls 200wpm using fingers get RSI but one finger journalists and me don't because MOVING THE WRIST pumps blood into the hand. Thus the tendons don't get starved of blood flow and then swell and hurt. If you want warm hands don't rub your fingers. Rub your wrists and move them.

[@michaelbruhl4425]

...super cool idea, I haven't thought about it then. Rob, I thank you very, very much for this tip !!!

[@robertbelanger6733]

Great learnings 👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🥁 Going to test drive it tomorrow Thank You Rob🙏🏻

[@dewaynecollins4728]

Thanks coach 🔥🔥🔥

[@aaronswearingen3708]

"Tap dance on a water bed." 🤣 Very good analogy! Great video. Thanks Rob!

[@luiszuluaga6575]

I love that but of funk and swing in your opening demonstration.

[@bobweber4140]

Thanks rob for your lessons

[@KevinR22]

For me as a beginner i learned a lot from my teachter but i'm also learning a lot from watching these type off videos and they help me a lot

[@simonmaranga1643]

A while back I actually wanted to strengthen my doubles too and I did something pretty similar to this. Glad to know I was thinking on the right path!! Great video as always👍🏾👍🏾

[@philipmcevoy7206]

Aw Rob your playing is great man

[@dr.timschurig234]

As Tommy Igoe once said: let's do simple things on a high level. That's what happens here. Very important stuff, even for the more experienced players. And the "how to practice" section is what I always like the most. Greetings from Germany.

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

This is the video I needed!!!! Thanks.

[@brianchisnell1548]

Traditional grip 53 years. Love it

[@claesblomquist3510]

Thanks Rob. Great video that explains a lot and make sense.🙏👍

[@packersfan6814]

Thanks Rob for the great vids! Have a great Easter.

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Nice opening solo

[@philipmcevoy7206]

The main man beat down Brown! lovin the helpful tips Rob

[@jedidrummerjake]

Dear Lord! Your chops make a part of brain so happy! Love you, Rob!!!

[@Bradwick1]

I like the gear analogy. Balancing power and speed is surely the biggest hurdle in double strokes.. However I think of the gears where the shoulder which is slowest but most powerful is first gear, elbow a little faster but still more power than speed second gear, wrist is less power but more speed third, and fingers are least powerful but most speed fourth gear. Thanks for the expanded limb awareness for executing doubles. Dig it!

[@rossrinkenbaugh4005]

As a mechanic by trade, playing my doubles "in 3rd gear" to me puts my playing into high gear 🙂. Also all of your toms sound great Rob. I've been needing to catch up on your videos, looks like I picked a good one to start with.

[@magedzaki9637]

Thanks RB

[@yeetfeet1878]

Thanks for the video Rob! Love your content, information, and humor.

[@thomascoulter6121]

Love the intro.

[@BadChizzle]

I mean... you’re so Cool that Coolness checks in on you to see what it needs to be like. Truth!

[@alanbaum3228]

Been watching you for a couple years. Clicking the link to your first video on the 3 gears opened up links to some even older videos. Now I'm digging in the crates to see more from your early days. Also caught you checking in on Dave Weckl's weekend hang a couple weeks ago. Love your work bro.

[@nekow1785]

I just got done doing your 20 minute doubles workout, was actually fun lol

[@robertbelanger6733]

Great learnings, but i’m still working on second gear, but theses are great tips for later developements👍🏻🤘🏻🥁

[@anthonyrutten4018]

Thanks for helping me play for reals! I feel I’m getting way more control of my sticks🎶

[@boberlwap8308]

Rob I would greatly appreciate it if you showed foot placement on the hi-hat. Thanks. Zim

[@bensayeed953]

Hehe! when i see a waterbed the first thing i always do is tap dance on it. 😅

[@bodhi9464]

Thanks Rob 🥁 🇦🇺

[@nicholasindalecio8211]

Double stroke master brown

[@deepbluntman___8650]

Killer Video like Always! 🙏😎

[@DianaPlaysDrums]

😂 Just pick a damn Tom and DO IT! This video was so helpful to me! Thank you!!

[@LimpBizkit999]

Your channel has completely transformed my chops and most importantly my groove. Thanks Beatdown 🔥🥁

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

No sweat. Thanks for watchin'! 🙂

[@johnthibodeaux5189]

I have a video suggestion. So I’ve always been used to playing drums with double mount Tom. And when I get on a single mount Tom kit it’s like I’m lost as to how to make productive drum rolls and fills because I’m used to having double mount toms. Maybe a video on how to make cool productive fills and drum rolls with single mount Tom.

[@billyyee1618]

Great tips 👍

[@ratamacueseven]

Thank you for your expertise sir !!!

[@alcide577]

This is amazing 👍

[@robertthompson5568]

So much great, useful drumming 🥁 advice for free....God Bless you Rob! 🙏 (Joe Morello used to use that hot stove metaphor 🔥)

[@jakegreene4313]

That disclaimer in the title 👌

[@jalthealusdavis8762]

Great video! This was just what I needed. That's a good looking drumset you got there by the way.

[@bensayeed953]

Great tip btw. 👍

[@jaycurrytrainer]

Looks like someone added a new A&F!! Steel? I have the A&Fer. Jealous!

[@RobBeatdownBrown]

That's the Maple Club. Delicious 🔥

[@jaycurrytrainer]

I just picked up the Music City Custom Maple Monoply. I have an A&F 3x10 brass also. Love it. I definately want to add another A&F....

[@blujay9191]

More good stuff as always. Kit sounds great too.

[@michaelkonopka9607]

Hi Rob , when ya do that catch an release thing , is that with both hands ??? Obviously when you’re using your traditional grip you’re not doing anything like that right ? And when you say to accent(pull them out)on the second stroke , do you mean the second bounce on each hand after each bounce??What exactly do you mean , have you done a video showing in detail the mechanics an how by doing it that way it will progress into solid technique ??? PS Thanks in advance , I love your videos , and am working on 3 cool exercises for independence , got the first 2 down almost got #3 pretty cool for sure !!!!😊 thanks sir

[@pfunnk14]

Mind blown 🤯

[@jhandy704]

Rob you are the man

[@anz2441]

Samuel L Jackson ...look so much like him lol...your videos have helped me immensely..Thank You

[@dedrickp]

The intro solo kind of have that Sonny Emory feel to it.

[@SionedWillicombe]

do you have another A&F snare?!

[@Ivanmundim]

Thank you so much for the tips ! 🤙🏽

[@tommo3378]

Usual quality content Rob 👍

[@nickfletcher506]

[@JorgeSanchez-hk8hf]

Thanks for posting. 👍

[@charlesavino8826]

Tap dance on a waterbed- right on my brother!

[@WallyPeterson]

The episode in which all of the HGTV viewing with the wife catches up to me and I actually think "Aw man, Rob, are you really down with that parquet flooring?". I gotta get out more.

[@tombailey1059]

Tap dancing on a water bed...ha. Rob, do you have any tips/tricks/imaginative ideas on hi-hat splashing?

[@DeanMercado]

Solid tip man. I'll give it a shot.

[@thijs199]

amazing video

[@remander3873]

1 year playing now and realizing that I've been using 2nd and 3rd gear more than 1st. Yeah, I've still a lot of work to do. 😁🥁

[@MrTwister3356]

A new A&F snare or are my eyes deceiving me?....great lesson BTW.

[@gregjones1266]

Sir how much does the tuning/tightness of the drum head play in relation to working the bounce off the head ? tuning low not much bounce, but tuning up/ tight would be more bounce coming back off the head ? I guess you would have to play with the tuning to achieve "your" sweet spot / bounce ???? just a thought.

[@StoyanStoyanov88]

Nice video Rob,regards :)

[@dexboi9994]

Thanks

[@markroper9269]

Good stuff!!

[@MrVtwinTorque]

Have you switched back to Traditional grip again?🤔

[@FlutuartSp]

Thanksss man

[@chrischilton2245]

Dennis Chambers said to practice your doubles on a pillow.

[@ronaldgenendlis6423]

So you went back to traditional grip ???

[@mikeZL3XD7029]

Can someone please recommend a decent app for a metronome that is useful for drummers? With a Samsung phone?
