The Diddle Samba Groove You Should Know! 💃🏻 - Samba Like Steve!

[@mariolago5655]

As an old amateur jazz drummer (85 yrs), with no professional instructions, I learned MORE from your videos than in 70 yrs of my amateur playing..Amazing, .congratulations and hearty thanks.. Keep swinging !! Mario...

[@griffot]

As an 82 year old drummer who also had no formal lessons I feel exactly the same way. Thanks a million Rob.

[@almaferrone]

Congrats!!! 🥁💪👏👏👏

[@jcm21354]

Closing in to 70 and I feel I’m not the only one learning something new from Rob. Who said old dogs can’t learn new tricks.

[@deanhayes81]

66 year old here....ditto!

[@ralphgilbert9527]

69 myself and still learning

[@frogeater9030]

I saved the money and finally received my own Paiste Masters Swish last week. After playing it for a week I can say that I love that cymbal. She responds to even the softest touch. If having feelings for a cymbal is wrong, then I don't want to be right!

[@davidgomersall7185]

A friend of mine bid on and won Bill Brufords Paiste Swish when Bruford was selling all his gear off. He never revealed how much he paid for it but I'm guessing MUCH dollar... totally worth it though 😁

[@frogeater9030]

@@davidgomersall7185 Yeah, I bet. Very nice.

[@michaelfaulkner5839]

Well said my friend 😂

[@baronmutatis]

Got mine the other day at Drum Center of Portsmouth. The most beautiful sounding cymbal I’ve ever played.

[@gmoney9794]

I got mine about 6 weeks ago. Absolutely love it. 1956 gms.

[@mr.d7429]

As a Brazilian drummer my self, I highly approve and appreciate this drum session!

[@MidlifeRenaissanceMan]

I’m a bass player. I don’t play drums at all, though I do own a kit..... _old drummer borrowed and crashed my car, then left town. I kept his kit_ So much useful information. Found This channel when I was trying too tune the kit after stripping it, taking it back to natural wood, cleaning it and reskinning it. Sounds awesome now.

[@Ronnytrials]

EH nois.

[@shugyoforyou211]

Sorry to hear about your car getting crashed, but every cloud has a silver lining! 🎵🌦

[@MidlifeRenaissanceMan]

@@shugyoforyou211 cheers I got out and repaired it, cost my $900 in parts from a wrecker and a solid day pulling it down and putting back together. He owed me another $1,800 in advances on gigs and his share of the money I had forked out for rehearsals, posters, and reskinning the snare. Just the cost of doing business with some musicians. You just get on with your life.

[@billykohler9153]

I watched this video 2 yrs ago and like reading the Bible , there’s often a new dimension/ perspective revealed when you re- read a verse later on in life. Same thing watching this video two years later. Fun fact discovery. 🙂 Thanks Rob. 🥁😎

[@rador9745]

Thanks! Much appreciated Rob! I needed a fresh latin idea. Can’t wait to throw in the mix on the next gig. 👊🏻😎

[@zoieaohizep890]

Rob, you are awesome, you have a very special way of teaching, that sticks immediately,, thanks for everything

[@WinstonBartholomewIII]

LOL you're just like me, when I grow it out the wisdom shows. Another great lesson Mr beat down. 30 years of being a self-taught drummer it's been fun reinventing my drumming using your instruction. I've never owned a practice pad until I started watching your videos and what a difference it's made.

[@erichfranz08]

I make your words my own!

[@troutstudio]

Whenever I see you teach I'm always super impressed with your ideas, enthusiasm and above all, your groove. That you take the time to share is way cool.

[@DJBossCreations]

You are a Beast SIR! Thank you so much for all of your content!!!!!!

[@verdierbenoit8641]

Hi Rob, I'm a drum enthusiast and I'm French. I live in Paris you know? You play this wonderful instrument so well like many others but you have a lot of humor I think when we see you in this video at 10:53 🙃😂👍🏾👍

[@craigsmith6045]

Drums licks ( lessons) are so many. Your content i keep coming back to. Love what you bring to the tube.

[@zeichner42]

Thanks for showing this groove. Special thanks for doing it in the open-handed position.

[@vespuzzi]

That Samba has such a compelling coreasque gaddlike groove!

[@jcbatts7964]

The Diddle Samba Groove's very nice !. Thank you Rob for this really excellent sharing 🎶🎵

[@Mike-sf5cg]

Simplicity expressed beautifully, man.

[@alazartessema3444]

you keep me not to stop practicing with home made drum.. I will buy one and show my skill to everyone 👌🤜🤛

[@mobass48]

I've watched several of your Videos. Your Technique is awesome, you make the Music Groove, yet... you NEVER Overplay! As a bassist myself, I can really appreciate that. Keep up the Great work Rob!

[@brettthomson3689]

Brilliant use of a simple rudiment, clearly explained as usual. Thanks again Mr Brown!

[@vincentchiappone8847]

Rob you look and sound so comfortable applying that rudiment to Samba. Thank you for such a great lesson.

[@teachingbeats]

Rob, your practical application of well, just so many things is fantastic. Thank you so much for being here!

[@PhotoTrainer]

I agree with these older gentlemen. You be connecting the dots Rob!

[@peterknispel4020]

That was so so great Rob. Loved that you played it open handed which makes the first note on the snare and not the hats. Fantastic performance man. I loved it. Great lesson.

[@LeFloidfan4ever]

I might be missing something but I thought by playing open handed the first note in the groove is on the hats. Like LrrlRllr (lefts on hats and rights on snare)

[@DrumstickSpinologyTM]

@@LeFloidfan4ever I agree

[@vincentvu7561]

Hello, Mr. Rob from California! Love your grooving Sir!

[@aaronfast]

I realized you can use this pattern to play the groove at the beginning of Sonny Rollins' St. Thomas (the classic recording w max roach). Just put your right stick on the floor tom for beat 1, then move it to the rack tom for the rest of it, I kept my left hand on the open snare the whole time, great groove to ride with on that tune (although maybe with less persistent doubles on the bass)

[@christophmeirich5928]

Like always ... Perfect! Thx for sharing 🙃🙂😃😉👍👏

[@TheMcglinn]

My favourite rudiment. Great application - thankyou so much for this.

[@messi_ronaldo326]

this guy is hella chill af

[@erniebertuzzo8020]

Smoooooooth playing Rob!. Love the instruction and the actual playing. I learned so much. This is now in bag of playing chops. Thank you!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Steve Gadd is definitely in a league of his own, when it comes to drumming. I saw him perform live with James Taylor, in Edmonton, in 2016. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers, Rob! ✌️🥁

[@mchaggis622]

Yeah. I saw that show in Calgary. What a treat! The sound was about the best I’ve ever heard.

[@drummersinger5324]

Gadd isn't spit to Tony Williams.

[@tjthorn9703]

Great application of a rudiment and example

[@mjm5081]

Love it! Thanks for sharing and Happy Drumming!!!

[@DaveElby]

Mind blown, currently working through mixed hi-hat patterns with ghosted snare notes using various paradiddle combinations and this drops. Rob, it’s like you’re watching over us! Awesome lesson!

[@michaelharing1922]

Steve Gadd is definitely somebody to watch!!...and listen to!!....I think Rob Brown depicted that perfectly here!....Nice job Rob!!...I really enjoyed your music!!...."Carry On With the Great Groove.....and always groove responsible" -- Michael Haring

[@bobbysands6923]

Simple, relaxed, and awesome!

[@kadealicious]

Just saw him live last week! Phenomenal drummer

[@congapilon]

Nice groove. I bet with a little salsa cowbell action that groove really blossoms.

[@richp4449]

I love this groove/beat - thanks so much for sharing it!! I play inverted paradiddles fairly naturally, so I love the feel of this groove. Thanks again!!

[@michaelechteld]

Excellent. Thanks for this! I'll definitely try this out.

[@drumpoet3]

Once again, you've inspired me by demonstrating how to apply a rudiment in a very cool way. Thanks Rob!

[@gersonmagday5531]

I love you tutorial man. You made it easy for me to learn this diddle through your video. Keep up the great work!

[@apdito]

Cool groove Rob. Love the best!

[@dwdrum11]

What a brilliant lesson, superb

[@michaellombard894]

Awesome, tasteful, nuanced!

[@aaroncameronjr2847]

Just wanted to say we played the same way. My father plays still today and I plan for us to record this year for the first time a family jam.

[@dadstermac]

I'm another aging, self taught rock n pop drummer transitioning to more jazz. Your video inspired me to get back to fundamentals to apply practicing and gigging. Thanks so much. BTW would you post a layout of the cymbals you have in this video? They beautifully complement you smooth strong grooves. Thanks so much.

[@tomgadd]

Very good flow mr...very smooth time and nice relaxed. you're getting better and better

[@HandWiredAmps]

Definitely time to talk about your current Microphone setup! Eyeing up those Beyers...

[@johnlennonghost6238]

Wow...Fantastic...You are good my friend!!! Thanks for sharing...GOD Bless!!!

[@Tomsolomon111]

Had a right jam along to this dude. Awesome😎

[@debralynnpaxton5238]

Spectacular lesson, Rob !

[@orenico96]

That was wonderful!! Musical! Grooving!

[@AdamSondel]

Cool lesson! I like that warm rhythms!

[@scottiequality1981]

I love your videos man. I’m a total metal dude, but I’m definitely incorporating these grooves into my playing. Far more interesting to me than straight forward metal drumming. Blast beats are sick, but so is laying down a thick ass funky groove. My Gemini mind thinks it can do two things at once hahaha

[@kamb26]

This is Steve’s main groove imo. There’s a track called no more blues which has some interesting variations of this. Great vid rob!

[@Ristopistox]

Thanks a lot. You are a great teacher!!!

[@handy1arnwald947]

Smooth as oiled glass.......respect.

[@haypayne8937]

Yes indeed, beating people down with Beatdown Brown... inverted parradiddle, easy enough. With samba bass drum additive. Good

[@scott3331]

Awesome smooth groove...enjoyed that

[@josejoyette1142]

I enjoyed this video. Thank you Mr Brown!

[@drummermomcjs]

This is s pretty slick groove Rob. So simple, yet sounds really great. A most enjoyable little idea indeed.

[@nickthomas6528]

Very nice playing!! Placing the accent on the last left note also sounds great.. rllrlrrL

[@ronaldpapa8182]

That was great, Rob!

[@BeauOnDrums]

Love this, I use it a lot.

Great thanks Rob👍 Going to get on this groovy train....Next stop Awesome city👌🥁☠️

[@Stixpercussion]

Dr. Gadd is a drum genius. Thanks for sharing as always. I dig all of ur lessons. Ur one cool brother drummer man.

[@jemmace2586]

Really nice, simple as well. Great to see the common sense thing's we can practice, obviously para diddles and their permeatations are a must to get to grips with. Like you showed here, play a samba style foot pattern underneath that and you have something that moves and sounds really good! Great for confidence building. You're a good teacher Rob brown. 👏🙏

[@jemmace2586]

Hahaha love the last bit, I tell you what though, I'd need to get my bar counting in order to play how you did there pal, slick!!

[@richavallone9912]

Rob you are a badass and a favorite educator of mine. And yes I will be trying this groove

[@neworleansbeats]

Dynamite! Great groove

[@simonrobinson1317]

Love this! I’m going to get on this groove straight away! Thank you for sharing the free content as always, Rob. You are a legend! 🙏🏻

[@woody4269]

Greatness wears Puma 🍻. Love inverted paradiddle combos. But changing t accent from t 1/4 note....aggggghhhhh!!

[@jimkoblick1776]

That is super cool ! Thanks !!

[@SkeeterMcBeater]

That Samba tune was pretty good. I'll take you up on that free 30 day drumeo offer. Just got my kit. Want to play like Copeland & you're the dude with the most Copeland material.

Thank You Rob. Great Video. Greetings from Germany.

[@robertryder1097]

Loved that! Great lesson, and you make it really accessible as always - thank you!

[@dannorris642]

This reminds me of the Gadd groove on Chick Corea's Sicily. Although, I hear that one more as a displaced paradiddle, after messing around with Gaddiments.

[@craigwilkinson3159]

Excellent and thank you!

[@Tisnieanders]

Smooth played Rob, thnx

[@npg68]

Very smooth

Hi Rob !! Thanks a lot for your videos!!!!!
