Rick is a great drummer and teacher…he saved my drum life in just a few lessons. Monster chops.

[@filsolano5465]

Mr. Latham is just always very inspirational. I still remember and still have the cassette he gave out at a drum clinic sometime in the mid 90's here in South East Texas. Thanks Rick for the killer grooves!

[@mdazhar8416]

superbbbb

[@jayklesdrumchannel-drumsan9782]

yeah that is a great lick my friend 🥁

[@gianclaudiocitarda2608]

Good job

[@AndysMagic1959]

Love the sound of the kit on this. Excellent fills too. Can you confirm, at 1.30, that is:- 6 stroke roll/3 stroke Ruff + 6 stroke roll/3 stroke ruff+ 6 stroke roll, with the first accent of the 6 stroke rolls on the toms. So, as these are 16th note triplets. That equals 1 bar fill? Sounds brilliant!

[@XTheSonofTheSunX]

you always sound great, but, let me say you're lookin great too! rock steady brother

[@tipidrum]

🙏

[@itsawonderfulknife7031]

Always thought that Rick looks like Cam from modern family. Interesting fact, he’s also a drummer.

[@Losmemmo]

schön vorm frühstück noch ne kleine drumsession...siehe schlafanzug!:-D

[@LeakyJAZZ]

I came up with this rudiment on my own! I called it the Inverted Left-Handed Parradiddlediddle, because it starts on the second hit of a left handed paradiddlediddle: R L L R R L R -> L R L L R R L. Playing in the marching band taught me parradiddlediddles which are cool for dividing the whole thing into three (RL RR LL) but I started playing the Inverted Left-Handed Parradiddlediddles because it’s better for dividing into two (RLL RRL). The name isn’t the best but I only ever use it to myself, but I think it’s better than “6-Stroke Roll” because using the naming conventions of 3-stroke rolls (RRL LLR), 5-stroke rolls (RRLLR LLRRL), 9-stroke rolls (RRLLRRLLR LLRRLLRRL), etc, it would be (RRLLRR LLRRLL) which would be groupings of 5, as cool as they are.

[@drumguy1955]

Used to go see Edgar Winters just to see Rick drum to Frankenstein.

[@addthisto]

what hi hats are that??

[@DrummerForChrist100]

What crashes are u using ?

[@funkyrick]

I use and endorse Istanbul Mehmet Cymbals... the crashes in this video are a 17" Traditional on my right side and an 18 Traditional on my left. Thanks for watching. R

[@markbridges4895]

Awesome, I can't believe 4 clowns have disliked this........oh well, back to triangle for you lot!

[@carlossoza7739]

The second time it's RLL-RRL-RLL? or RRL-RLL-RRL? I can´t see how it is in the video.

[@luisAfp9]

No it's not, a six stroke roll is RLLRRL with the accent in 1 and 6... RllrrL RllrrL RllrrL RllrrL (capital letter is the accent), six notes in one time

[@funkyrick]

Carlos you are correct, I'm playing a six Stroke and then modifying it for the Tom Fill........

[@funkyrick]

Alejandro Fagundez Alejandro, you are also correct.......the basic six stroke roll is RLLRRL with accents on first and sixth stroke.......exactly.......Groove On Guys

[@luisAfp9]

Nice, thank you Rick

[@tondajina]

Hi Carlos, the first sticking you write is right - Rll rrL Rll ,.. whatever, you can play the second variation that will probably bring you different accents :)

[@gregarious7573]

for your audio commentary, that is....great rolls though

[@gregdaniel8404]

volume issues sir

[@mikechapman1992]

so... this is a Rick Roll?

[@justinrinearson7042]

Can't hear you speak! You should get a little voice mic :)

[@pr192001]

I cant hear what he is saying

[@gregarious7573]

horrible audio quality on this. Get some mics and a nice mixer
