After almost 40 years of not playing drums and trying again my wife bought me a beautiful gretsch set for my birthday it's like starting over again it's not like getting on a bike and riding after you than off a bike for some years. Rob has the discipline and determination to help everybody who wants to play this instrument I Am very grateful to him and thank him and will continue watching him for inspiration and help Because as you get older you're not as agile as you used to be. I'm in my sixties and I want to play drums again and I am not going to let anything get in my way Thanks Rob

After playing congas and working as a percussionist for over 45 years, I took up kit at the age of 60. My weakness is developing a consistent practice schedule. I have a Roland KV kit in my apartment, and a DW setup at a friends (bassist) house. My timing is good, and I can "groove", but I'm struggling to get my rudiments and fundamentals down with as much intensity as I bring to my congas. My main struggle, beyond the fundamentals, is dealing with feeling "too old". Just turned 66 yesterday. I used to play all over the world (congas, African Dance), and I let myself slip into inactivity when I was working full time. No sob story here, just being honest. I love music, and I've found out that life isn't the same without it. Thank you Rob for sharing your knowledge and fire with us. And it's inspiring to see so many learning from what you bring. I'm determined to do the same.

@davidlean10604 жыл бұрын
@Cheryl Graham Basically, take the first 5 exrecises in Stick control (includes single stroke right and then left lead and the the same with double strokes). When playing the right lead double stroke ie rr ll, play a rr ll half time with the feet. Basically, it is a variation on simon Phillips exercise where he plays a paradiddle in his hands and plays one half time with his feet at the same time. Change to a regular rl with the feet when playing the syncopated bit. I always like to use my feet while exerciseing my hands, so I am always looking for easy ways to keep them occupied while I practice my rudimants with my hands.

Love your stuff. Any chance you can do something on counting - not the same as timekeeping per se, but simply counting in your head while playing, as the 'noise' can get loud in my head. In particular, between 4-and & 1 I sometimes lose it, particularly with a fill. And yet this is where groove starts. My favourite drummer is Simon Phillips (Rob, you're no.1 educator by far) , who if you watch closely is always counting, and when it's 33/8 you know it's a skill that needs nailing.

Thanks for this, Rob. One of my goals for this year is to become a better drummer. Part of my plan to execute this goal is to commit to a daily rudiment routine, which I've never really done. I followed your advice from your previous video to focus solely on the single, double, and paradiddle. But I've struggled to put any real structure around it and I need something to keep it interesting. Hopefully, this does the trick. Just curious, what metronome app are you using?

Hi Rob, I love Paradiddle combinations. I have been working on PDD, PDD, DP, DP, P,P, for a few weeks and I will add your excercise to my daily routine, thank you.

I love these exercises! The longer I have been playing, the more I keep coming back to...singles...doubles....and diddles... almost any time I feel weakness... it is me realizing I made it another few years without having to fit a double on a particular beat with a particular hand...or something similar... it is....always one little adjustment... like getting used to landing on my left hand on the e of 2 or whatever... just some small simple thing I notice I have overlooked... exercises like this really help to rapidly break down the tiny little barriers between your hands and unlock all sorts of things you really can never imagine at first. Do these for ten years... you'll discover things....for ten straight years... simple, but limitless. Cheers man, thanks for sharing your craft!

* I will be scouring through your uploads now, but I want to ask: Do you have some similar exercises that you like for flams, and especially for NOT- Flams? Besides singles and doubles and diddles..diddle... it seems like a HUGE key to musical playing is being able to hit things cleanly, simultaneously with control...and flam with intention... A lot of the difference between a beginner and a pro stems from...just... being able to hit two things at the same time consistently
