I'm 66 years old and been playing since I was 14. I have learned more from you in the last year about technique than I have in the last 50 years. You have a way to make your explanations crystal clear and usable to everyone, no matter what level player they are. That's a real talent for a teacher. Thank you so much.

I watch a lot of different drum tutorial videos. But there’s only two people whose excercises usually end up in my daily warm-up routine - Tommy Igoe and Rob Brown. Not only the excercises are great, these guys are also really really good at explaining them. Thank you Mr. Beatdown for that! Keep up the good work! You are a great educator!

[@chrisberryk3111]

Hey I am 56 years old and played in a band as a kid. I left the drums years ago and later took up bass guitar. Some friends of mine have dragged me out of retirement to play drums for them. I’ve had a real issue with my kick foot, in fact I felt as though it’s was getting worse rather than better. I played heal down. I’ve watch lots of videos about heal up. Your video has nailed it down and made it seem so simple now. Thanks 🙏 Chris in the UK

Hey Man, I got to tell you that this "lesson" on Kick drum was exactly what I needed after playing for over 30 year. You nailed in the head for me with the ankle hinge thing and plus one and zero positions. Finally I found through you a comfortable and powerful way to play the kick (Aleluia!!) Feels really good like never before! To show you gratitude I just went to your shop and bought a T shirt! Keep shinning your light brother!!!

Rob is such a phenomenal teacher

[@henrys1757]

I'm 60 and have been "playing" for about 2 weeks. After watching a few of your videos, specifically the ones concerning "5 Rookie Mistakes" and "Proper Drum Setup", I was guilty of ALL of them! Everything is flowing and working much better after watching your videos. I only have about 248 more to watch! You're an excellent instructor. Thank you sir!!!

[@ScottFree4all]

Think of the pedal as a stick.....YES! Thank you Rob: the brother of practicality.

[@jim2jamm]

This exercise has given me a clear understanding on how the kick pedal is supposed to to be played. I feel more comfortable now when doing doubles. It has also increased my speed.

[@paulfenn5060]

Here I am, a 60yr-old twit, just bought a kit after playing on and off on other people's, and hand drums, over the decades, always sucking, loving it anyway, wanting to get better, but never having the right situation to get down to do things right. Now I have that situation, wife and daughter cool with my racket... and I suddenly realize how much worse I am than I realized, and how much I have to learn. Winter's coming to Toronto, so here we go. Rob, sir, you have a gift, and I humbly thank you. You shit is already well in play here.

[@tristantattoos]

i would like to thank you, Rob, for being such a down-to-earth teacher whose passion for the drums is reflected in the easy to understand explanations of any and every question a drummer of any level could possibly have. My father, who passed away unexpectedly at age 83 last year, was a lifelong drummer. He started touring at age seven, and was a lifelong student of the drums, as well as a lifelong teacher of others. I never got to meet him until I was 36 years old (my mother was not a nice person, and took us away when I was 9 months old, on his birthday, way back in 1971, swearing I would never be a drummer like my father). In the short dozen years or so that I had Dad in my life, I was blessed to know him as a man, even though I didn't get to know him as a child. He was tickled that I was a bassist and guitarist. We got to do a few shows together, and that old man SHREDDED at almost 80 years old! He always tried to get me to try drums. I was convinced I didn't have it in me. No confidence. He argued that as his son, I had drums in my blood, that no child of his would be unable to hold his own behind a kit. I regret that I never tried while he was alive. Before I knew it, he was gone. As I began the painful task of managing his modest estate last year, I found drum sticks literally EVERYWHERE in his home. Drum keys popped up randomly in the oddest of places. A well worn hi-hat turned up out in a shed. A family friend had a drum kit of his at her home for safe keeping. I was not yet ready to go get it. One night last summer, as my girlfriend took a shower after we finished a long day of cleaning and landscaping, I sat down in his living room and waited for my turn in the shower. I absent-mindedly picked up a scarred set of drumsticks next to Dad's easy chair and began to tap out patterns on my thighs, eyes closed, remembering times spent with Dad listening to jazz, discovering a whole world of fantastic music with him. The stereo played in the background. In walked my girlfriend, who stopped dead in her tracks, slack jawed and wide-eyed, with the strangest look on her face. She said, "You never told me you played drums. Wait a minute... you DON'T". "No, I don't. Never dared even try". She looked at me for a second, and said, "You are a complete dumb ass if you don't get a drum set. That is just ridiculous." Turns out I was playing along with Alice in Chains and didn't realize it. That, and Disturbed and Tool and everything else on her playlist. I made makeshift kits out of miscellaneous items around the house for the next few months until in October, I was blessed with a beautiful full drum kit at a ridiculously low price I could actually afford. At age 50, I vowed to learn to play drums, to honor my dad's memory and do him proud, even if he is no longer here to see it happen. I began my search for information on the internet, soaking up everything I could, watching video after video, even if I didn't fully understand the material. Some made sense, some were way over my head, but I watched them anyhow. Then, in early November last year, Sir, I discovered you. You explain things the way my Pops did. You do things the way he did. Your playing reminds me of his. You tune your drums the way he did. I was afraid to alter the tuning on his kit at all, until I discovered your videos on tuning. I am not afraid anymore...Dad would be proud. I am currently tracking down ALL of your videos, because no one explains things quite like you do. I have progressed in leaps and bounds thanks to your simple, honest teaching style and amazing skill, which you somehow know how to pass along to others in an almost effortless way. Sir, I thank you for the honor of being your drum student and proving to quite a few people that at age 50, I most certainly CAN learn this complex instrument well enough to make music with others. Drums are the most natural instrument I have ever played in my life, and the pure enjoyment of playing them simply eclipses the joy I have experienced playing any other instrument, ever. Your lessons feel more like you are reminding me of that which I have always known but have forgotten until now. After literally a dozen two hour sessions behind a kit, spread out over six months in the midst of remodeling my dad's home, on my 50th birthday, I had the pleasure of taking a seat on my Dad's drum stool, behind his kit, and playing a jazz/fusion/funk jam session of almost three hours with two other musicians, both 25-year drummers who also played bass and guitar. It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. In the ensuing discussion, when my girlfriend spilled the beans as to how long I had actually been playing drums, my fellow musicians were shocked. They asked who my drum teacher was. I told them my drum instructor was none other than Rob "Beatdown" Brown, who I had never met, but hoped to some day. Rob, you have given me a gift that is without equal, and hold the distinction of doing the impossible. You have, in some way, through your teachings, given me my father back. I feel his presence every time I pick up a set of sticks, even if just working on a practice pad, and I know that at last he gets to see just how right he was. May God bless you and yours in all ways, and always. You are truly one of a kind. You are truly the GURU OF GROOVE. Sincerely, Your most unlikely, and most grateful, student Tristan Thomas "Ted" Fuller (son of Barry Fuller, known professionally as Barry Foster, lifelong jazz and Dixieland drummer, 1938-2020).

[@nheidner4881]

Came across one of your videos breaking down a Vinnie. C. lick and loved it. This kick video was also just as inspiring. Been playing casual groups and big bands for 40 years. I have got a lot of musical "street knowledge" but it is fun to get new ideas. You do a great job at explaining and definitely inspire me to do new things with the kit. Keep it up.

I don't use to write comments on youtube videos, but I decided do to it on this one. I just wanna thank you man for this video. Ive been playing drums for 20 years, I ve never thought this little change on my foot technique could improve that much the way I play. I was kind of frustrated about some thing on my groove, my fills and some other stuff. GUYS, having a strong and solid foot technique change everything, even your tempo. THANKS SO MUCH ROB !!

[@stevebarnes9694]

dude is a good teacher. Easy to understand what he is trying to communicate

[@davemoore3394]

Fantastic! As a relative beginner I managed to get doubles together using heel-toe a few months ago. I buzzed. But my heel was on the floor when not moving and I'd managed to train myself to have my toe as far forward as it would go to make the double work. Was having trouble moving on and improving much and my singles were suffering - weak and sometimes turning into a double due to poor rebound control. But having paused about half way through your vid, gone off and done some experimenting, lifting my throne a bit and focusing on keeping my heel up, after about ten minutes it came together again! Pausing as you do with hammer against batter head rather than away from the head as I first learned, and bingo! Much more control over both singles and doubles! Along with better dynamics! Almost instantly! Thank you bud, from a grinning Scotsman in London :D

[@mastermetalshredder]

Dave Moore Always nice to try new stuff and acquire a new way of doing it. I don’t want to sound arrogant, but heel toe is a pretty awful technique and I’m pretty sure will fizzle out when more people begin realizing that the same thing can be accomplished toe toe with heel up. In a double pedal situation this tip rings twice as true haha. Good luck on your endeavors, just trying to help. I’m glad we both found Beatdown Brown, he’s an absolute animal on the drums!

[@edwhite7475]

[@billorchard3263]

Your video's are by far the best Drumming Lesson Vid's on KZbin, the way you explain everything and also talk about and admit that some Drummers may feel playing differently is easier for them, such as myself...................i am 52 and have been playing Professionally for about 30 years, i also admit that you can never stop learning. It may be because double pedals were not out at the time of my learning to play or because i never could afford a double pedal even if they were out.............myself i find heel down is the best for me to play faster on a Single Pedal, it just comes Naturally to me, the ball of my foot is in the same place on the pedal as your's is, just my heel is down, i guess it is Different strokes for different folk's ( No pun intended.........or just a little Pun :).................. Also you are one of the few Pro Drummers ( That i know of ), except for Shannon Larkin and Sully Erna that use the Yamaha * Flying Dragon Direct Drive * Pedal........I had the same pedal but it was a Single Chain Drive, and i loved that pedal, don't know why i sold it, but just a question, obviously your choice in pedals makes a difference in performance to a point, also how you tune or tighten your batter skin of your Bass has a large reaction on how fast the mallet returns, i use an 11mm Batter on my 26" Bass and a 14mm on the reso side with no Porting or Muffling, it just sounds better that way to me, and all the people i meet at shows tell me how powerful my bass sounds, i guess it was just a fluke when i tightened my Bass skins that way ? Keep up the great work Rob. ** CHEERS **

[@dbsendyd]

I am struggling on playing grooves that has multiple bass drum notes. But spending almost two months on that, I found that knowing exactly where to play those notes is really helpful. And slightly swinging my upper body (tried not to move my head too much) also helped my doubles. (In my opinion!) Playing doubles alone is pretty easy, but playing doubles with groove is whole other level.. man, I should go to practice more! Thank you Rob! From South Korea

[@TheHouseofKushTV]

Great vid, awesome teacher (but we knew that). Something to think about: if your foot 'slides around' (i.e., your calf rotates) when doing heel-toe movement, it's because the muscles you're using to lift your leg aren't balanced, some are overdeveloped and some are underdeveloped. Hip flexors v. glute min/med in the hips, gastro min v. med in the calf... most people are unbalanced, and have outward rotation of the hips because "humans sit too much"... legs are heavy, lifting and bouncing them while seated is hard and unnatural motion. Trainers who know biomechanics can change your drumming game; so much of what we struggle with is habits and brain training, but a lot is also brute strength and flexibility. As you age, you and your joints will appreciate any effort spent balancing the system now.

[@motodrummer]

Took up drumming at 40 now 52,, was told by a few people that starting that late I could only get so fast with single pedal doubles? So far they have been correct, I can do the intro to American Band but that is my absolute threshold limit... I am successfull with that intro about 75% of the time.

[@scottloveday8598]

Man I've been waiting for a video to see your feet, thanks Rob so much for the lesson and helping me understand the proper physics and basics,, I wish when I first started playing I was taught doing the same things I do with my hands do with my feet, most of the lessons are just basically on the hands, the foot seem to be a neglected issue when I first learn how to play 52 years ago. But on the hi hat foot I asked Steve gadd in the clinic he said your feet following your hands.. but thanks again for showing the proper technique, I love your playing and all your videos you've been such a great help thank you so much Rob. One subject with a high hat foot maybe you can help me with I haven't seen any videos on, is developing playing fast 16th notes with your foot on the hi hat. I can't find anything related on any videos relating to hi hat speed foot control.. although the one you did was helpful on separation bass drum and hi-hat foot but I would like to know how to get quick 16th notes feeling comfortable.When asking Steve Gadd about it he said it just happens naturally when you're locked in which I get that but he's Steve Gadd too, lol but it still would be nice to know some physics to a fast hi hat foot as in with the bass drum foot that would make me feel more comfortable to reach those faster tempos. Just a thought of another thought of maybe another instructional video with the hi hat foot subject developing speed that nobody seems to talk about too much. The only thing I could find was JoJo Mayer with that rocking foot motion which does help. Thanks again Rob for all the help.
