Hey Louie. Just wanted to tell you that I’ve been watching your videos for the last couple of weeks. I love the straightforward approach you have. That you break down complex sounding patterns and concepts into approachable exercises to try. I am learning so much, particularly from the hand/foot combo exercises and the vocabulary building lessons. Just wanted to extend my gratitude for sharing so much of your knowledge to demystify the instrument for me and allow me to enjoy drumming to the fullest extent. I look forward to subscribing on your site as a member, in the very near future.

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Thanks!! Appreciate it. See you in the school!

[@usp40guy5]

Great tip about not involving the wrist on the ride cymbal and just using fingers (4:30). That was something I didn't even realize I was doing that. This helped

[@mikecoats2543]

Louise, you play so clean, amazing. Your lessons are inspiring.

[@robertociai6205]

you are a great musician. Fantastic lesson and wonderful technique. Veramente un grande batterista.

[@gabyto62]

Thanks!!! Sorry for my english. I was just admiring your right hand technique in another video and found this excellent class!! Thank you again!! Greetings from Argentina!

[@percywoods4014]

Louie, I think you are somewhere in the top 5 drummers of "All Time." I've watched all your other videos and I am amazed at your skill level and your willingness to help others grow. Nice job brother ...

[@louiepalmerdrums]

+Percy Woods Wow, thanks that's quite the compliment. Glad you like the vids.

[@jazzpianoman01]

Yeah world class, amazing and a great teacher, everything is concise and understandable

[@gorbonyak]

Can't believe I just stumbled across your videos today, easily one of the best player/teachers on KZbin! I would love to know what snare and ride cymbal you are using. The ride sounds so musical without being super "jazzy" sounding, like it would fit any music so well. Thanks!

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Thanks! The ride was an Artisan 22" Medium and the snare is just a standard Yamaha Hybrid Maple!

[@JeffRandallDrumming]

Really enjoyed this lesson Louie! Just what I needed. You're a great player sir.

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Thanks!

[@Phil.A]

Agréable compilation des méthodes Daniel Humair sur ride cymbale et Peter Erskine. Merci Louie. Grande leçon!

[@efrainramos4053]

[@louiepalmerdrums]

[@alliensmoker7812]

Great teacher. Thank you sir

[@bbradleyish]

[@robertcarrillo5902]

Hello louie! I think you're an incredible drummer! And without fear of wrong i think there's something rare in groups of five. At the time we looping the exercise, either way It sounds good... thanks for showing such detailed information.

[@johnny5.56]

[@morgenthaler]

Great job as always, Louie!

[@louiepalmerdrums]

+Jeppe Morgenthaler Thanks, Jeppe!

[@boyritmo1]

nice work

[@drumtwo4seven]

You can bounce 3 notes very easily and comfortably which allows you say for example to play up tempo jazz tunes for extended periods.

[@drumken]

good beginner lesson.

[@JulianFernandez]

Sounding great, as always!

[@louiepalmerdrums]

Thanks, appreciate it!

[@JulianFernandez]

+Louie Palmer Those 5 sound very Tony-ish! :)

[@EleniEliades_]

I've been playing drums for quite some time. Now that I've got an actual drum set have been taking online jazz lessons. I'm still not understanding when to start in with the light snare rolls and then the louder hits .Can you explain this? thanks

[@sticktrik]

Are those the Yamaha hybrid maple drums?!

[@JVVinas-qq1fu]

100th like! Oh men, Mr. Palmer you really are my new drum hero. Every bit of your playing is really clean and tasty! That's what real drumming is supposed to be, to create good sounding music. Godbless you more! Will subscribe to PBD very soon!

[@louiepalmerdrums]

+Johneil Virone Vinas Thanks! Glad you like the videos.

[@JVVinas-qq1fu]

You're most welcome Mr. Louie!

[@JoshM3Yeah]

Loved this lesson!! Nice finger control, having that rolls so smooth.Amazing!! I was wondering, should I practice the same thing on my left hand? Because I see you playing traditional grip... By the way, I've always wanted to learn traditional grip but I kind of stumble over it, would you mind to explain the technique on the fulcrum and bouncing motion of the traditional grip?

[@louiepalmerdrums]

+Josh Liao (しなさい) Thanks! Left hand finger technique is little different for traditional grip. There are some in depth lesson videos in the members area at my teaching site, playbetterdrums.com

[@DannyBoatright]

these lessons are so practical and helpful. for paid subscribers, can you download the videos off your website or are they only streamable?

[@louiepalmerdrums]

+Danny Boatright Hi Danny. Thanks! Glad you find them helpful. The members area at Play Better Drums is streamable content that you can watch on any device...kind of like Netflix.

[@commondomarine]

Great tutorial ! but what about the left hand using the traditional grip ! any advices ?

[@yoyolim538]

[@yoyolim538]

non*

[@GerrickTaylor23]

what kind of hi hats are those?

[@louiepalmerdrums]

14" HHX Legacy

[@RubenTeixeiraDrummer]

[@WestinBDrums]
